PorkenStuff's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bytesize]

A bit hit-and-miss...

It was pretty good overall. It was fun to see all sorts of stuff from different authors, and it was put together pretty darn well. But some of the shorts, I have to say, were pretty... lame. There were quite a few good ones, some of them absolutely brilliant (the rain-cloud one comes to mind, for example), but a few of them just weren't all that funny, in my opinion.

But good job, to everyone who took part in this. :3

[Owls]

Well..

I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it, either. The music was catchy, but it wasn't really that funny. Also, it was random to the point where it almost seemed as if you'd made up the lyrics in about 40 seconds.

Good animation, catchy song (all of your songs are catchy) but not your best. And I certainly don't think it deserves the #2 spot on the rankings.

Go ahead, whoever's reading this. Mark it as a useless review, because I didn't give it a 10. I know somebody's gonna do it. >_>

TheWeebl responds:

I don't mean to be rude but is it not slightly ironic to state your opinion as fact then dismiss others opinon of your review given the same metric?

[The One Layer Collab]

That Owns, Man

Really nice animation. I work with flash, and most of the stuff I've posted was from years ago (so it's not very good), but I can rightfully say that this was incredible for an animation ALONE, let alone one single layer.

Keep it up, this is what the front page is for.

[Pokemon Rainbow]

Okay

As I can see, your only comeback is that no one else has made a flash. You're obviously not mature enough, and cannot handle any negative critizism, but I'm giving it to you anyway. And guess what, snappy, I've MADE a few animations. No, they're not that good, and yes, I'm still learning, but at least the ideas aren't borrowed from crap that went out years ago.

The last thing I bet ANY of us want is more 'Pokemon is gay' crap. No, I'm not a fan of the thing, but, as I said, that whole PokeCrap thing ended years ago. Gay jokes like this are not funny anymore, except to Elementary Schoolers. I'm pretty sure that you are NOT an Elementary Schooler, but I doubt anyone could really tell from your sense of humor. Get a few original jokes, instead of sticking to years-old, DEAD material nobody cares about.

You obviously have some decent talent. Use it better. And grow up a bit.

RobbyD responds:

wow, u really got to me... plus i dont ever remember ppl makin fun of pokemon.

[Generic Naruto fight]

Okay

Before all the reviewers come in, who have never actually TOUCHED flash, DONE a sprite animation, and actually seen how fun (but difficult) animating is, I'd like to say this:

I liked it. I've been working with sprites as well and while it's not the hardest thing in the world, it's no easy task, either. It's also very fun. You did this pretty well, a lot better than I can animate ATM. The animations were generally smooth, and it was longer than a lot of spirtefights I've seen. Maybe a few more sound effects could have been brought in, but I dunno.

But nice. Gets a 7/10 from me. Keep it up, you'll get even better.

[BananaComics Flash 3]

Hmmm....

Well, decent song choice, I'll give you that. Animation needs working on... You did a pretty decent job. :]

By the way, it's SnowDragon. And the whole static thing has been used a LOT lately, so I don't think even SHE made that thing up. xD

Yotam responds:

Yeah, but it was INSPIRED by Snowdrak/dragon. I'm not saying s/he made it up. D:

Animation needs work, but yeah, I can't really do much with these little blobs. xD

Thanks for the review o:

[Global Warming Teaser]

I don't know why people post teaser trailers....

Really, now, why waste yoru time posting up a trailer, when you could just work on the actualy movie? The graphics weren't bad, but I didn't see enough to give this proper ratings. I'm sure you'e good, though

[Wii in a nutshell!]

Yay I gots-a Wii!

That first line made my siede split. You, sir, are a comic genius!

DAGamesOfficial responds:

why thankyou. I Laughed at that part when I was recording, but with my clever editing skills it all worked out in the end :P

[Throwback the Duck Ep. 1A]

Okies.

I'll start by saying that you are a fantastic animator. Your characters are exteremly well-drawn. The mouth animations are top-notch, and you have a knack for detail.

Unfortunately, your shining talent is bogged down by two things: your voices and your storyboard.

The voices suit the charcaters well, but I have a problem with Throwback's especially. His voice his quiet, choppy, and lacks emotion. It is a bit different for some of the others, but Throwback being the main character and all really hurts the movie with his voice.

Also, the storyboard lacks much. It simply did not keep me interested. I understand that this'll be a long series, but the lack in humor, when that is seemingly the main genre of this, bogs it down. You may be shooting for a more family-friendly animation here, but a few better jokes and gags would help.

Overall, this was a two-sided animation. While the quality of the animation and the characters were good, the flash fell under the weight of displeasing voice acting and a less-than-satisfactory story.

Keep up the animating, though!

[Mario Spoofs]

...

Not really spoofs. More like, sorry, bad attempts at humor. I can see you're new and all, but even if you worked nonstop on this, it needs polish.

Sprite animating is hard. harder than some people say it is.
