underjollyroger's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Day in the Life of: scp95]

I saw SCP95 and got excited. Then it turned out to be some kid who plays call of duty, and NOT the SCP's that I know of. Be sure to label your videos better. (look up the SCP wiki)

Animation was decent. 6/10
Humor was awful. 0/10
voice acting was annoying. 0/10
art style was somewhat bland. 4/10

Jaltoid responds:

Numbers out of ten tell me nothing. Do you have any actual advice? What you found weak or strong about it specifically? Like why did you find the humor awful, and what made the animation decent? Feel free to PM me, no obligation.

[Emoshine]

This is spam, just like the clock crew. Only the clock crew is sadly respected because of the sheer amount of time they've existed.

Samegame responds:

First of al the Lock Legion has been around longer than you've been a member here, and just about as long as the clock crew. We have a collection page. Secondly, spam movies are movies that are made to flood the portal, not movies that have a story and people actually spent time to make. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a very good movie, but that doesn't make it spam.

[In Bruges: Five Grams]

Excellent for your first animation! I would just make sure you put a play button and definitive end, it's annoying when something loops, haha.

I would also like to see some voice acting as opposed to just taking the audio from a movie. Excellent animation though!

TimBentley responds:

Thank you! My next project is deffinitely going to have original voice acting in, unfortunatly I am absolutely terrible at it so I must get others to contribute, if you have any suggestions for voice actors, let me know. :)

[Serenity - Albatross]

This is neat, but I don't believe it really belongs on this website. This website is mainly for animations, drawings, and music. A more suitable website for this would be Youtube.

Gerkinman responds:

I figured that because the film is made using the same techniques as stop motion animation it would be okay, but I understand what your saying. If you have a look at my profile you will see I have countless animations submitted to this site, I was really just curious to see if a project like this would be well received here.

[Pants are Optional]

Not funny, It loops, and minimal animation was used. It was mostly tweens.

Worst of all was the audio. You could barely understand what they were saying. When the girl says pants, it sounds like "PAH". This doesnt really belong on newgrounds since its so short, pointless, and not really of good quality.

AlbertTehRabbit responds:

Well yeah I guess. How do I make it end?

[Oney In a Nutshell]

I laughed pretty hard. This is really true actually... Still love Oney and Psychicpibbles to death though.

DotExecutables responds:

I do as well.

[CAVPOLLOS Xmas 2012]

The chirping was extremely annoying. I didn't want to watch the whole thing, but I did anyways to get a feel for this before deciding blam or save.
I suggest you do real voice acting next time. The chirping was too much. Ear piercing if anything.

My other gripe. This website is in english. I suggest you post videos in english as well. I understand it gives the option for other languages, but I like being able to understand what I'm watching. If you want to do it in spanish, put it on youtube.

cavpollo responds:

Yeah, I do realize the chirping was a bit repetitive and high pitched, but Im not comfortable with putting a voice to my characters. And probably you would have hated more watching something where the characters make no noise.

And to tell the truth there isn't anything that you need to know that's in Spanish other than Merry Xmas wishes. The whole story didn't have anything that wasn't body language (except for a couple bubbles). Just be a little bit more tolerant, as this place is a home for all kind of animations.
Cheers, and cheer up ^_^.

[The Grump That Stole Xmas]

This was pretty good. Work on your story writing a little bit though, I feel like a lot more could have been done with this and it could have been much funnier.

I agree with previous reviews, however, this should be rated "M."

If you are curious as to why people pay attention to ratings, most are looking for "safe for work" animations while they are at their day job. If an animation is rated "M" then it tells them it is NOT safe for work. So just for future reference, anything with very foul language or violence should be rated "M."

Cheers :)

ZenithQuinn responds:

thanks for the review!
