SaintShun's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Red vs. blue (NOT HALO)]

You've got something good right there

You just need to polish it.

I mean , you obviously got the idea of how to animate, now take a step forward and spend some more time into it, add backgrounds, storyline, sound effects and you are ready to go!!.

You dont even need to change the characters couse you obviously know what you are doing, i mean there are some pretty good animations with surrealistic characters, just work a little on the tweens, you almost got the FBF part, all you need to do is spend more time into it.

[Dumbass Mario]

My Salsa!

Good use of the song "My Band" by D12 with the My Salsa part with toad, that got me by surprise.

First off id like to say i loved that, it contained so many memorable scenes with the right amount of humour to entertain anyone.

Thou the only problem seems that in some parts you used more pixelated sprites with some others less pixelated and they seem kind of off.

4/5

[The People's Mario]

Chihuahua MEXICO ROCK ON!!

Whooo!, nunca crei ver a otro chihuahuense, entonces salio saiyaGina ,pero cuales eran las posibilidades de otro de por aqui?, WHOO!, y luego con talento como Gina.

En fin, las graficas estan excelentes, la musica le queda muy bien, buen trabajo, esta lleno de buenas escenas y tu fbf parece muy avanzado, me sorprende que este sea tu primer flash en Newgrounds, pero quiero decirte que espero que no sea el ultimo!

5/5

[The Widow Collab]

Chompy

The main problem with this collaboration (atleast for me), is that there wasnt the name of the author in each part, i mean, how is someone suposed to know who did it if thet havent seen anything from them before?.

Luckily for me ive had the pleasure to deal with some of the authors and ive seen they animation style, it was impossible to not recognice BlackMarketCraigs part. Some other two artists i recognized where british moose and fenix (or something).

Most of the times the animation was suposed to bring a darkly atmosphere and in some parts, it delivered it well, but in others it was just plain silly, i got to say i saw like 3 or 5 disturbing clips that i liked but other than those, nothing special, nothing that haven't been done before

3/5

DOUBLE-SS responds:

yeah sorry about that, if ya wanna know just check out the author comments.

[Super Mario Problem]

Lacks on animation

You've got a concept going on, the only thing is that it lacks on animation, seriously, you only had one sprite for every character, try getting all of them to make atleast a decent walking cicle, same with the goombas and the lava, the only serious movement was Luigi's head which was just a cut and a tween, to i congratulate you for that, there wasnt really humour but the end bit gave me a little smile.

I gave you a 7 on sound for the Numa song, couse i dont really like it.

Hope to see you improving and keep making this, don't let any hard comment to stop you, couse in the end, you are the one that proves them wrong.

In-Style-Always responds:

hey...i remember you!!! i wrote a review on your phil the demon flash. about the "dissing religion." whatever. um, thanks for the overall score.

[School Madness]

Decent

that was pretty good for a madness movie not made by krinkels, thou it felt it was pretty slow sometimes and well lacked on action the violence was fluid and the sound was clean and astonishing.

Thou theres something you cant do this days, and that is movies with violence within schools nor about 9/11, i found that pretty stupid, and dont get why al the sentimentalism from people who could have barely heard about this events and havent suffered anything like it, i dont get all the colective emotions coming from people that only think that someone who makes a random violence movie has issues, when its quite not, not everyone is Jeff Weise, and if you feel that things that resemble violence on schools are bad becouse they make kids like the ones of columbine you are totaly screwed.

I mean how many people even felt bad for them?, how many schools are moving theyre asses to stop thos bullying?.

This is a good decent movie, don't let your feelings blind you .

[Devil Hunter: Episode 2]

Animeish ^^

First of all i want to state that it was indeed good but it did had its issues, like the voices, you couldnt hear them well due to the loud background music, thank god for the subtitles but you should still keep this in mind for further episodes.
Other thing is that it was well animated but you overused the loops that you had to form this atacks, they lasted too long and kind of lost theyre touch, same thing whith the guy with white hair running cycle.

Also you used many anime clishes like powers that come from hands, and he Devil May Cryish way to dont die when you get pierced by a sword.

Another anime clishe is the lazy lipsync, its ok but you could have added a little more enthusiasm making it, also i wished the movie was a little longer but the music was not of my taste so if it had been longer with the same type of music it could have turned out bad.

Overall 4/5 and an 8 for review, keep em coming

Yung-SamuraiJazz responds:

*sigh(not again..) K well, i dunno how to adjust volumes, and i can understand bout the attack loops, which i'll be cutting down on next time around and the main guy didn't die, i showed him getting impaled and living to show that he is not all human, oops... But thanks for the complements ^_^

[StarCrafter - 002]

DUN DUUUUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUN-Review

Well my only complain is the filesize, its just too big but streaming it helped a lot, the humour could have been better but it was pretty decent, and sometimes marvins voice felt like too forced, overall you have a good thing going here, keep it up, fifen

MACception responds:

SHUNNY! Sup dude? Long time no see!

Okay, now that that's over with...WTF DUDE!?! I thought YOU'D be the last one not to read my disclaimers dude...I WAS SICK! I couldn't perfect the voices man, coughing and shit, you know how it is. Anyway, and the file size is because it's all videos and shit, so it's bound to be a horrible file size, there was nothing I could do, get the fuck outta my face :D

Wonderful

It was really good, i mean your a great artist with a unique style.

Your cartoonish traces are to be taken seriously as you pull this masterfull movie together with a unique style of animation that only you can provide.

Yea in some parts the animation gets repetitive and chompy but overall was really great, you managed to pull it all together really great, though im not a fan of the song it reeally seemed to fit the animation. Good job.

5/5

[B.Y.O.B. Collab]

Another review by Saintshun

Ok, first of all, this one had good graphics in some parts but that didnt compensate the amount of bad graphics with poor tweens, let me say that the intro looked good but still was dissapointing, mostly becouse it was composed by many letters moving randomly but it was good anyway. Now let the criticism begin. (many had to be omited due to the low amount of space to write a review)

HellRaiser.- Ok, tweened character on South Park style (id say not a good way to start a collab), it was merely composed on basic tweens, you didnt even worried about it to be following the way the music goes, it just looped.
Mofomojo.- As i said, there are some pretty good parts, this clearly is a good one, could have been a great one but the lipsync looked a bit of place as it didnt contrasted with the atmosphere.
MasterFury.- We could all learn something from you, impressive lipsync, character design and the tweens werent half bad, i liked the fact that you kept face ovements on the character, makes it more realistic and profesional, good job.
xXCanadianXx.- Ok, forget the tweens, this guy didnt even animate other than the mouth movents, which get off place continuously, nice move, you clearly stand for the fact that going onto a collaboration is an easy way to get a submission on the portal with a decent score.
Lion_L.- Just awesome!, nice background and shadow effect on the chopper!, pretty good, many could have taken your example on this one, not much animation but a delightful view.
NoggieAnimations.- ok, youve just made it clear to me, you cant draw, it cand of dissapointed me couse i thought you had done your part for SCYHO all by yourself (thou the lisync sucked), now i know where your talent comes from.
Hashbrown.- Simple character but the animation was really good, i preffer characters like this than some atempt to make a realistic character when you dont have the talent.
DrBeast- First of all nice walking cicle for the little soldiers BUT, you shoud clearly look carefully when you tween as you might see in one part they walk on air, the character singing was god awfull, little movement and the lip sync wasnt impressive at all, also you could have tried a better way to lipsync the Sphinx couse a black circle didnt worked for me.
xXCanadianXx.- Oh snap! you again!, guess this part was better than your first one except for the singing cat.
BlackMarketKraig.- Astonishing drawing, very detailed with only a simple tween BUT it didnt bothered at all, fits quite well to the song.
Lynn_Scottish.- It was fun to see the world from the perspective of a drunk man, nice drawings and the little bit of animation was good also, congratulations.
MasterFury.- wow, astonishing as before, even if you tween your characters look good enough and you dont focus on only one movement from them but in all the little ones.
_Darx_.- Nice 3D plane(or something), the drawings were really good but i know you could have done better with the explosion.
-Wish-.- You, as the collab starter should have made the most work but apparently that was to hard, bitmap tracing a soldier could fool anyone unaware of flash capabilities but not a flash artist, the lipsync was good but thats about it, it took you no effort to make this , would have been better if you handed the project to someone more capable of pulling the job instead of taking the major credit for all this artists hard work, seriously when your other characters come, its clearly that you didnt took much time on your part, you could always had made more than one instead of prolonging it.

The only thing that pisses me off is that you Wish took all the credit for all this animators work, sure you can co-author four but what about the rest?, what about those who worked more than you?.
2.5/5 (im debating over voting 2 or 3)

CatTehBus responds:

man you have no fucking idea how hard this this was to stitch together! If It had been easier it wouldn't have taken 7 months would it have I spent everyday working on this thing trying to get it out and I figured it would only be fair if I animated atleast a couple lines, so I did and due to some computer errors/viruses I had to redo my parts over and over and over again while contacting the authors all over again so they could send me their files again... everyone in this collab was very pleased with it, they where glad on its presentation... but you gotta fucking rag on me saying I did shit for 7 months and got to lead the great project, thats just not the case. So you can fuckin shove it!
