LenardNotLenny's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[-HANDS-]

Dream Flashes....

I love dream animations. The no smoothing really adds to it, and the text rules. Nice job.

MorrowDays responds:

thanks man, typography's awesome, great medium.

[News Reporter III]

Okay

Your flash needs some work, but I'll admit, it made me laugh a bit. But the movement honestly was pretty bad. Try making your figured move at different angles. When the news reporter walked in I cringed a bit. To improve this piece I would simply take more time to animate. Everything just looked a tad quickly done. I did enjoy your logo though.

kinggila responds:

I'm too lazy as my profile message says.

[The Fairy Future Mother]

Sweet

That was a funny, well put together piece of flash. The animation was completely smooth and well done, but I can't say so much about the art. The pencil line is something I've never done before so I couldn't tell you how to make it better. What I will say is that it was clean, but sometimes the actual drawing itself was a little awkward. In my opnion, your voice acting was phenomenal. That was the highlight of the flash.

I was really impressed with your lip-synching, but the lips... well, it looked like everyone was wearing lipstick. I would recommend adding a more dramatic ease to your tween. Because the tween movement looked very slow.

Well done.

OxSox responds:

Thanks for the review. I bought a book on drafting and artwork, so hopefully that'll help things on the art side.

[Super MarioWars (Trailer)]

I'm a little disapointed

After seeing your lightsaber decapitation, I was hoping you'd do something cool and original afterward. But you went into sprites... *sigh*. Well, at least its not a total loss. Its a decent sprite idea I guess. But... ah, what the hell man! Your video editing kicked ass. If I were to criticize this flash, I'd say the sprites were too low of a resolution. It looks too modified and chunky.

lyndis313 responds:

I appreciate this. I went to sprites because I started animating because of it. Things like MK. vs SF series.

and my lightsaber decapitation didnt get a high rating, so i figured it wasnt well recieved anyway. <:\

[The Hyrde Ep. 1]

Love ya style

It was an excellent animation. Very smooth and pleasing to my eyes. But god... Ghoul Gal annoyed me SO much. Her voice.... was just so obnoxious. Spectre was fucking cool, but the others, not so much. It would've been better if you made the other characters a little more creepy looking. Like Spectre. Also, I would've liked Zombor more if for one, he wasn't named Zombor, and if he didn't talk at all. It would give him a better sense of integrity, which would make him a much more intriguing character. Very good, but I would rethink the supporting characters.

[Bunbun: Animated Violence]

Repetitive

Your animation was a high okay. The one problem I had with it was that it was extremely repetitive. The animation that was there was perfect, but it was a little too perfect, and didn't really stand out. Your ideas were slightly cliche, except for the carrot. That was kind of funny. But you just kept repeating the same idea over and over, and an idea that wasn't that original to begin with. Honestly I just didn't kind it entertaining. The way you made the separate clips on one screen was quite original however. I've never seen that done before and you did it flawlessly. So yeah, not the best idea, but executed nicely.

Illumatie responds:

Thanx for your feedback, ill keep it in mind for the next one. the seperate clip idea was taken from '24" (the moment just for the commericals kick in)

[Your Newgrounds.]

This one rules.

Man... that was pretty creepy. And cool. And original for once. All these other people are just ripping off of each other. That one I think both really noted what Newgrounds is all about, and did it in an extremely original way. Really nice job.

[like a duck (colour)]

Brilliant...

I absolutely love this. I take back what I said about the Boogley morph. This is my favorite animation. Everything was great. It was timed extremely well with the music... man that was cool.

TheBoogley responds:

Cheers! it's great that you took the time to watch and then give your honest opinion on my stuff.

[Rubber Face Boogley]

Da Boogley

This is by far my favorite flash of yours. There is absolutely nothing to complain about. The frame by frame is some of the best I have ever seen. It would be really cool if you took the Boogley character into a plot. Like a huge pink bear walking around, with a bunch of people trying to communicate with him. I love this flash....

TheBoogley responds:

Cheers Lenard! It's great that you watched and liked this. The Boogley is a character I've been drawing since I was little, his look and name have changed a lot over the years but now he's in his final form. I will make more movies with him and you hit the nail on the head, he's kind of a surreal mime wandering around being silly, and every other character is normal. Thanks for all the feed back on my movies!

[Wade in the Water]

Not as Good. But still great.

I've decided to review all of your flash for no particular reason. So I'll start with this one. Twas quite entertaining and the frame by frame was flawless. But a while into it it got kind of muddled. I would've maybe added a small blur to a layer, and make the colors a little contrasted. Also, the face looked a little shoved together, so I would completely take away the eyes. It was a visual treat overall.

TheBoogley responds:

Lennster! This was more of a learning experience for me, experimenting with lipsync and animating to music. I didn't spend very much time on it, about 8 hours straight from start to finish.
