Phantox's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Droids Vs Aliens]

2/5, 6/10

It was alright. Needs improvement tho.

Pros:
1. I liked the different ways they killed each other.

Cons:
1. The characters just 'died' you should have drawn small gunshots and blood each time a character died. This way, it would look better.
2. Sounds: The sounds where a bit screechy. Decrease the volume on some.
3. Too short to be entertaining.

I recommend:
1. Make it longer. This way, it's more entertaining
2. Make blood and gunshots animation. It will look more professional and better this way.

Anyways, it was alright. Could be better tho.

Graeme responds:

The funny thing is, I actually imported it into flash, and tried to draw lazers and things into it. Just to make it more flashy. That's why I put off hosting it on Newgrounds in the first place.
I think now my flash skills are good enough that I would be able to add stuff like that in.
I'll agree with you, much to short. And sounds were pretty crappy at some parts.

Thanks for the review. You covered it very well, and pointed out everything that I to thought could use work

[Pot Head Bob and a gennie]

3/5, 7/10

Pros:
1. Humor: The movie was a bit funny. I laughed at the "Forgot about gravity" Part
2. Animation: Animation was average. Still needs work
3. Graphics: Graphics are a lot better than a lot of flashes out there but still need work. Above average

Cons:
1. No preloader. I had to minimize the movie and take off my headphones so the movie finished loading without having to spoil anything.
2. Voice Acting: Needs improvement. If you need help, I think there's a voice acting club in the clubs and crews forum.
3. Sounds: Sounds need to be a lot better and clearer. There are quite a few good sites that provide free sounds. Check the audio forum for more info.

I Recommend:
1. Add a preloader so people with slow internet can watch the movie properly without any unnecessary pauses.
2. Get better sounds. Also you might want to add a sound when the guy gets squished by the cow.

Overall good job. If this is your first, you have some talent and should make more.

[How to review?]

2/5, 6/10

Not that good of a tutorial. Here's what I think of it

Pros:
1. You thought of an original tut. From my time on Newgrounds, I haven't seen a single reviewing tutorial. Nice job on originality.
2. I liked how the pages faded in/out and it didn't just jump to the next page.

Cons:
1. No pause button. This is bad to include in a tutorial because if I'm reading a tutorial which is supposed to make me learn, I don't want to be listening to music.
2. You didn't explain WHY reviews are helpful. You only explained how to make a review. If I where a new member reading this, I would be thinking "What is the point of reviewing other than increasing my review count?" If you said this, I probably missed it and I apologize.
3. You didn't show examples of a good review. You just put what not to do. You should have made examples so people see the difference between a crappy and a good, useful review.

I recommend:
1. Pause button. You really need a pause button. Had to take off my earphones to finish reading the tut.
2. Explain why reviews are helpful. You could explain them like this: 'Reviews are helpful to the author so that he/she can improve their work and make it better. If the review is positive and it doesn't provide any criticism, then it means that the author should keep up what he/she is doing but be sure to indicate the things that you liked so the author knows.'
3. Make a few good examples of how to review properly instead of giving tips.

That's all. Average tutorial. I think you could have explained more tho. With a little more work put into this, you could have a pretty nice tutorial. Good luck if you make more

Pedropmp responds:

Thank you loads :)
Thanks to your amazing review I have some more points to correct, thanks again :)

[Gamer Tonight - RTS Gamer]

5/5 - 10/10, Faved

Awesome movie. Here's what I think of it

Pros:
1. Graphics: Very nice graphics they fit very well with the movie. Very nice job.
2. Lip Sync: Lip Sync was very nice. Al tho I don't really pay much attention to it, you did a nice job.
3. Humor: The movie is very funny. Hell I was laughing through the whole thing. This is the best one of the series.
4. Voice Acting: VA was perfect. Egoraptor is a very nice voice actor. Nice job!
5. I loved the part where Tim was reading the letter he had and the last part. Those two parts where the best of the episode.
6. Animation: The animation was pretty nice. The characters moved smoothly.

Cons:
*None*

I Recommend:
1. I think you should have mentioned rushing in the movie. I think it would have been a good idea.

That's all. I really enjoyed this movie. Like I said, this is the best one of all of them. I would really like seeing a 'Battlefield' episode. Anyways, very nice movie.

RTS FTW!

[Adolf Hitler:CAI493+D 141]

*None*

This is the funniest one I've seen. Here's my opinion on it

Pros:
1. Humor: Like I said, I found this one funnier than the rest. Maybe because of the outfit you drew for Hitler.
2. Music: I love the opening song tho this episode's main song could have been a bit better. Nice selection tho.
3. Graphics: The graphics are very nice. They are not pixely and are very well cut. The background is not bad either.

Cons:
1. There's not animation just a simple picture. (Except for the evolution part) That's a small con. You should add a little animation to the background.
2. Hitler's top or right arm could do with a bit more of work.

I Recommend:
1. Add a bit more of animation to the background picture. This can be pretty simple. Just take this ocean background for example. You could add a school of fish passing by or another Pokemon (maybe the stage before of the Pokemon that just evolved or another Pokemon that goes with the background) You could also use different things for different background. (Like birds for plains, mountains, etc)
2. To make the flash a bit more humorous (spelling) you could have made Kabutops look like if he where standing ontop of the turtle. IMO, that would have made it a bit more random and funnier

That's all. Like I said, this is ojne of the funniest one I've seen in the series. Keep it up.

AfroUnderscoreStud responds:

I didn't draw anything.

[Shared joy is double joy]

Weird...

Weird movie. Here's what I think of it:

Pros:
1. Animation: Animation was alright. The characters moved smoothly.
2. Sounds: Sounds where alright.

Cons:
1. Plot: No plot at all... Or am I missing something?
2. The movie itself was gross... A guy ripping his tit off and giving it to another guy... Ugh...
3. Text went by a little fast. Slow readers would have a problem with the intro.

That's all. Like I said: Weird and gross movie. Anyways, good job on the animation. Graphics where alright but could use with some work.

Pepeto responds:

Haha hah, thanks for the review :D
Yup, there's no planned plot or anything.
Yeah, should've made the text go slower, you're right about that..

[Hitman's job]

Not good

Not that good of a movie. Here's what I think of it.

Pros:
1. Background: The background looked OK. Not that bad.
2. Blood: The blood animation was alright.

Cons:
1. Plot: The plot is unoriginal there are tons of hitman movies out there with the exact same plot. I recommend you make something more creative.
2. Graphics: The graphics where bad. The guns looked like they where Googled. I recommend making better, 3d looking images.
3. Music: The music was bad for the movie. It didn't go with it at all.
4. Animation: The characters didn't move smoothly. They almost looked like robots moving. I recommend you work on animation a bit more.
5. The movie itself was boring. I was asking myself "When is it going to end?" I recommend you make it funner to watch and with an interesting plot to make it a good movie.

That's all. If you really want to make good movies, I recommend you work on plot, and animation. Also, you should use better music for the next movie. If you make another one, good luck.

sam-delitans responds:

For the background, i agree with you.
For the blood, i think i can do better.
For the plot, i somewhat dont agree with you.
For the graphics, i agree with you.
For the music, i strictly dont agree with u, i put in quite a lot of effort just for the animation to go with the music, maybe u should watched it again..
For the animation, i agree and dont agree with u, at least some of the fighting were smooth enough to see..
For the movie itself, i can say the first part was boring but after the guy meet more enemies, i wont say its boring, i also recommend you to appreciate crappy and stop comparing noob's work to a pro's work.
but i may take your advise overall, thanks

[Animator vs. Animation II]

Great

Great movie. Here's what I think of it

Pros:
1. Animation: The animation was really good. The characters moved smoothly
2. Sounds: The sounds you chose where very nice. Nice usage too.
3. Originality: This movie was very original. I liked how the icons started attacking and how the stick figure used anything he could to kill them.
4. Humor: Not as funny as the last one but it still made me laugh a bit.

Cons:
*None*

Great job on this one. Not as good as the first but still great.
