SHITBAGxDETON8R's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[What's the Buttons?]

Oh my god, "co-brodamol." Fucking hell, man. I thought it was alright up until that point, but that one word made it worthwhile watching it to the end.

BigCronch responds:

hahaha thank you, a lot of people seem to like it so I'm glad I used that over any other 'bro' variants I had in mind

[Evening Flight]

All style, no substance... and that's ok. It does a pretty good job building up a hype with the music and none of the scenes drag on for too long There's some areas of the drawings that could be nitpicked sure, but you won me over with the shadows moving across the character's face as the aircraft was tilting in the sky.

PanzSan responds:

Haha that's fair. Burnout hits hard during finals seasons so sometimes you just wanna draw a plane doing plane stuff :p
Thanks for the critique!

[Into the Zuckerverse]

Some of the voice lines could have been a little clearer, but I appreciated the guy getting eaten/absorbed in the background there.

LudeConcepts responds:

Zucks always playing these human jokes on other humanoids 😆

[modern art]

Some pretty decent preliminary work, nice and to the point with the animation clearly being competently done. Just a bit of fleshing out with a few more frames and color to finish it and I'd gladly rate it higher.

MrHappyGoLucky responds:

I will keep it in mind for my next project. I was thinking about fram economy when making the animation (like what is the least amount of frames for maximum effect.) But I can see that it makes some of the motions look choppy. Anyway thanks for the feedback.

[AI Arts is Suck!]

Well, this just isn't very good. For starters, I don't think there's all that much difference between AI-generated art, and computer-generated voices in terms of value - this was just horrific to listen to. The #ff0000 red background is eye-searing, and you used plenty of assets and music taken from elsewhere without credit, like the music and troll face. How is that any better than what you're campaigning against?

If you're going to be moralizing, at least be consistent about it. Put in the labor to make something appealing, take a shot at recording your own lines or ask some of the folks in the voice actor communities for help. Throw in some visual puns with the AI lover having too many appendages. Something, anything. There are legitimate concerns and grievances to address with AI art, so do it!

[Oh Yikes.]

You know, back in the day, it was only a few hours to pass judgement.

The premise is okay, but there's not that much animation and while the atmosphere changes to show the passage of time, the backgrounds are a bit too basic for something that's static and takes up an awful lot of screen time. The character is very simple at first, but showing the fatigue and wear from simply sitting at the computer is a nice touch.

I feel like 2 minutes might be a bit long to get to the punchline, especially since you're just reading the joke. It's kind of like a slideshow which is a bit of a waste of the format, some voice lines with funny delivery emphasizing the increasing debilitation of DoneByDon would really help, maybe something like those game show countdown tunes on the screens declaring that time has passed to play on the contrast between the black-and-white screens with serious, factual statements with some silly tune, you know?

EverythingByElias responds:

Y'know, you actually have valid points. I think this is what the internet is missing these days (that being constructive criticsm). I'm gonna keep the "slideshow" format and the simple designs (purely because I just think that both of those things suit my style of humor & writing), although I will add voice lines in my next video, maybe some fun music if there are transition screens like you said, to compensate for the simple visuals & motion and overall production value. Thanks a lot for your response! :)
