Gerkinman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Super Problem Collab]

It had its moments

The collab as a whole was rather uneven, with some parts better then others, but this is the nature of collabs.

Spidermans 3D spinning was very impressive, props to whoever animated that.

[Bowser's Kingdom: Eps 7]

An honest opinion.

I have no idea what the appeal of this series is, the sprite work is average at best, with bland backgrounds and very static character movement. Ive never been a fan of sprite movies, but ive seen sprites done well, and this series animation is very sub par. You said you were to lazy to animate the montage (or was that supposed to be a funny joke?) but it looks to me like you were too lazy to animate a real flash cartoon.

The writing was horrible, the same old jokes we have been hearing here on newgrounds for the last 5 years, except for the wii ad parody, but the parody of the add was about a year to late, people stopped careing about wiimotes getting throw at televisions a
year ago. If your going to parody something liek that try to make it topical.

Lastly i have to comment on the voice acting, it was appaling. None of the characters had any personality at all, aside form the mouse and arnie turtle they all sounded flat and boring. But even these 2 sounded bad, a horrible Arnie impression followed by what i think was supposed to sound like speedy ghonzalis but sounded more like an imbred baby choking on its own feces.

You may have fooled all the 13 year olds on here thatll give a 10 to anything with some nintendo sprites and stolen jokes into thinking your talented, but you havet fooled me. Try harder next time and come up with your own material.

[The Hobbit - Act I]

I dont know why i should bother reviewing this.

Its not like you would listen to what i have to say. But i struggled to find one positive thing to say about this. Bad voices, bad art, bad jokes, bad animation. I mean seriously, theres no excuse in this day and age for this to be as bad as it is, youve been here so long you should be pushing newgrounds boundries and showing people how to improve in there own work. Instead all you do is continue to show us is how to make flash that was impressive 4 or 5 years ago. Times have changed and because of your "its my style" justifications and lazyness you have been left in the dust.

[LOZ Office of Time Ep.1]

Needs alot of work

Bad voice work, bad dialogue, bad animation and bad writing. Ofcourse it has link in it so its bound to do well, and that will be enough for most people. But if your going to try to write a sitcom like this i suggest you tighten up your script and dialogue, practice your comedic timing and learn how to use facial expressions to help convey the dialogue. Most of the facial expressions in this cartoon where completely different to the dialogue being conveyed. With practice you could nail this, theres potential here, but you have a long way to go. Keep at it.

[High School Daze Ep.5-1]

Pretty average stuff

The character models and animation was jerky with very little to no easing, the characters themselves are rather bland to look at and the comedy itself does nothing to try to sepearte itself from the rest of the "animated sitcoms" on Newgrounds.

Nice work on the lipsyncing tho.

Also on a side note it didnt feel like much of a party, try puting in some music and extra people just standing around doing party type stuff to make things feel a little more... alive.

[Tacos]

*tear*

beautifully done <3

[Video Gamerz Chronicles-P]

Oh teh noes

i dont often write reviews anymore, but for some reason i felt like reviewing this.

The graphics and animation are boring, cliche and rather poorly put together, especially as far as the use of gradients are concerned.

Typical effort with sound using tunes from zelda and anime.

And a concept thats been done to death, as if Captain N wasnt enough all those years ago, now we have people copying it in flash using popular game characters to boost there own popularity.

I guess what im saying is get your own art style, get your own music and get your own ideas. Dont follow the current trend of mediocrity.

ScottFalco responds:

I can see the anime music, why zelda?
Anyways... True, we go into the game world.... But in this new series it isnt really focused on the characters from games, Sephiroth is actually the only game character shown, in like... All the episodes...

As for the art style... as people have said before, it is rather my own style... Yes, you might think it's "anime crap" as others have said. But as Ive tried to explain, anime is a hell of alot more detailed, Shiyn and semi-spiked hair does not an anime make. The music, yes its been sued before... Most flashes do that. But saying that im "following the trend" is a pretty dumb judgement to make out of the themesong. Especially when most of the stuff on this flash hasn't been shown, other then sephiroth. Normally Id take your opinion, for I used to like your flashes. But then your "followed the current trend of mediocrity" and started shoving nudity into your cartoons. of coruse NG loves that.... But I for one was disappointed. Congrats on trying to bring me down, try a little ahrder next time m'kay? ;P

[I'm Afraid of Butterflies]

Lawl

The last reviewer is a total dumbass who cant tell the difference between a group of people and a film style, a perfect example of "The Newgrounds Moron" ;D

Nandi responds:

People do not know the definition of emo. If it looks the slighest bit emo, IT MUST BE =D!!!

Yes this Animation is aaaalll about how dark and depressing my life is, and I wanted to spill my depressing feelings out into the world. And express my teen angst on how I'm afraid of butterflies. ;o; *cry cry, cut cut* </sarcasm>

PFFFTT, No...

Now with that said, I'm gonna go listen to some Hip Hop cos I'm soooo emo. <3

[Animator vs. Animation]

Thank you.

That was the most original thing ive seen on newgrounds for a long long time. A brillaint piece of fresh air. Thank you for submiting this and showing that theres more to flash then video games and family guy jokes.

[Halo: Marine Tales]

Oh Wow

More of the same tedious garbage video game parody tosh that newgrounds gets flooded with everyday. I never get tired of hearing the same jokes over and over and over and over and over again.
Your style is also way to influenced by the super flash bros, right down to using th elip sync tutorial pieces in your own movie. Kinda sad. All in all, been there seen that, about a thousand times already. Theres potential here, but theres no reason to use it when you can get a bloated score like 4.10 for a movie that deserves a 3.70.

Dead4 responds:

meh i find your words both incourageing and insulting

so im just gonna say STFU and thanks at the same time

cheery bye bye
