Ghosty22's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bomb Shop]

Uh...

Hmmm... I find that I use the word "Uh..." a lot in the title of my reviews... I guess it's because most of them are so weird, and "uh..." represents the fact that I can't easily account for whatever the hell it was I just watched...

What the hell did the main character think would happen? What was this animation supposed to be? Why carnival music? Whya bomb shop? Why eat bombs? WHY? WHY? WHY!?!?

[Janis and Joyce]

Kinda cool...

This was pretty funny... I liked the way she kept carrying on her normal business despite having to carry a corpse.

I think you should make more of these, but nest time, you should "stream" the vocal parts... That way you can tell which frame is making each sound, and it's easier to match up the mouth movements...

Gi-go responds:

Yeah, it was matched up perfectly (took forever) but then when it came on the internet it was all screwed up, kinda disapointing but I cant stream it cause I used 18 scenes and it would be cut off.

[craigs castle]

This could've been pretty cool.

The art work was really good. I like how it was so dark... And the monster was all black, with shiny spots. The fact that you couldn't really see him made it mysterious and interesting. I wasn't really sure what was going on half the time... I'd like to know who the characters were... Why they were drinking tea in a castle, and what happened to the little alien-looking guy at the end...

k-slash responds:

its better when its done a uploadid the wrong flash but am gonna update it real soon

[Wang's Non-Violence]

WOW!

It's sooo nice when the bad guys wear shirts that say "Bad guy" on them... That way the hero is spared from doing any detective work... Oh yeah... And the sign that said "Evil Place" was a big help too... Those bad guys... They're so considerate to the needs of the guy who is about to kill them... With FLOWER-TIPPED BULLETS!?!?! WTF?

[Two short skits]

It was ok...

The graphics were pretty good. You should work on making the walking motions a little smoother.

The story wasn't that great... Why didn't he check the address on the front?

But the feel of the animation was cool. It had a nice warm desert feel with mysterious desert music that was... Really... Mysterious. Too bad you blew the guy's head off, because he seemed like he could be an interesting character.

Penguinated responds:

He's not really dead, he's more like "Happy Tree Friends" dead

[Response 2]

Sort of... good...

The graphics were great, but I couldn't understand what was being said. It seem like some computer was talking to an unresponsive robot. About disco... Which was... Weird.

I didn't see the point. I guess there will be more at some point. But more action would be nice. Also, try not to keep your mouth so close to the microphone when you're talking. Not only was it hard to understand you, because of the volume of the dialog, but I could hear you breathing while you were talking, and that really was distracting. You keep hearing "Phhhhhhhh," instead of the words.

Frogcloset responds:

you just put your review for the wrong flash

[Pope for a Day]

Pretty good...

The writing in this was pretty good... It didn't really make me laugh, but it made me smile. There were some clever puns(?) in it. I really liked holy mail.

I think the main character should try to sound more relaxed... I didn't really like the way she spoke either. She kept saying "Check it, yo!" Like she was some kind of MTV VJ. It really didn't sound natural. But other than that, it was really cool.

I feel like placing a "keep 'em comin'" right about here.

[Unemployed in the UK]

That was kinda cool...

It wasn't so much funny as if was true to life. My president, George W. Bush seems to do the same thing. The president gets to do whatever the self-serving corporations want him to do. And everyone lets them do whatever they want because they're so afraid of man-on-man action and terrorism. (Sigh...) Anyway... Your animation was pretty good. All I can say is that the ending needs more of a punchline.

[Jonathon]

Amusing...

Yeah, this was kinda cool. That same old panda-roaring soundeffect was kind of boring and uninteresting. The ending was a little strange, and could've been funnier. It just didn't seem to absorb the momentum of the story.

What was that panda's problem anyway? His behaviot was just inexcusable! Ripping folk's heads off. That batard! Anyhow...

I liked how the angry mob was holding up a sign the defined it as an angry mob. That was cool.

Oh yeah... And the animation was really good.

Oh yeah, and why did that guy live with a panda in the first place? I'd like to know more about your characters... I'd especially like to know why they store hippie excrement... Does it have strange medicinal properties? Can you make a bizarre potion that turns people into a jive-talking, cigar-smoking, gun-weilding, super werewolf? Please explain. Cuz... I know some hippies... And I wanna be a werewolf soooo bad...

[Ruy the ninja]

Uh...

This was both good and bad... The introduction was really long and boring, and quite frankly, unnecessary. I think that all the scenes that were described with text instead of in-scene action/dialogue were kind of lazy and unnecesary.

I think you should come up with some more interesting dialog that would expose each of their personalities. Looking at pictures and reading text just doesn't make for a good movie, in my opinion.

Who was that old man, who apparently thought he was Yoda?

The artwork was pretty new to me, and looked pretty good. The only problem I had with it was that sometimes it was hard to tell what was going on. A couple of times, the ninja was standing with his back toward the screen, and his body was covering up the guy he was fighting. There is a trick used by Disney animators that you might find useful. Draw sketches of the characters first, but make them all black. You should be able to tell what is happening without seeing any of the detail. It's called "the silhouette test."

But a lot of the animation was pretty well done... The characters looked a little funny, but if that's just your style, that's cool. Keep them coming, just work on your writing.
