Gerkinman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[:Pizza:]

Very well put together

You have a good understanding of camera angles and the like, there where also some very nicely animated parts. My only real gripe was the timing on alot of the gags, such as walking over the homeless man and such. Could use a little more work in the future. But from a technical standpoint, very very impressive.

faceofdoomness responds:

Thanks! I really do need to work on my comical timing.. that has not been one of the talents that I have been gifted with. I was actually planning to create a few videos testing the timing and stuff. Anyways. Thanks for the constructive Criticism. :D

Very refreshing

Nice to see something creative for a change. Stylish animation, fancy concepy, fitting music. My only real gripe is some missuse of blurs, im on a rather powerful machine here and i got a little lag in places. Other then that great job, keep it up.

[Captain Blackjack]

Holy shit

Mindblowing. Truly Mindblowing.

[: Here I Stand :]

i can see what you were trying for...

Sadly it was dragged down but some odd choices. Parts were moved frame by frame, but since they werent redrawn they didnt flow leaving a choppy look. For some reason however the blink was dont properly. The contrast was nice but there wasnt much too it. Unfortunately it for the most part it looked more like a slide show then an actual animation. Next time try to ad some proper character movement and animation to your work and feel the premise out a little more.

Kero-the-boy-killer responds:

yea, once i am more less familiar with flash i'll be able to do some actual animating.

[Larvae]

I very much enjoyed this.

Not only was it a display of Tweens being use appropriately, but it showed that there are still people out there with an imagination, both in concept and design. Very impressive.

Ansel responds:

tweens were my best friends during the making of this movie.

[LOZ - Twilight Problem]

Eh...

Traced grahics, same old jokes, average voice work, and did i mention same old jokes?
Im kinda glad someone finally made a toon based around twilight princess instead of ocarina of time, but this short would have worked for either game, not to mention the writing was just downright horrible. Can we have nicer visuals and some decent writing next time please?

[Short Flash about Bill M.]

Bravo

That was genius.

Quite possibly the best ending to a flash movie in recent memory.

[Space Goat - Episode 3]

Good to see your still around.

I think you have to be Australian to truly appreciate the genious that is space goat <3

[Assassin's Weed]

*Sigh*

Where do i begin?

Well first, heres everything wrong with the movie. Your animation was rather rather bad, with no consistency. One minute it looks bad, the next minute it looks awful. Ive read your reviews and you seem to complain you only had 10 days to make this? Well jesus, if this took me 10 days to make i would be embaressed.
You really need to practice facial expressions, anatomy and colour co-ordination, aswell as animation itself, all of these areas need vast improvement.

Next up comes the sound, the voice acting all around was attrocious, with people spitting out lines with absolutely no personality behind them. You might as well have gone out in the street and got a homeless guy to do the voices, because it all sounded like someone reading, just reading. Next time get some people who know how to project there voice and actually act.

Second last we have the "comedy". Forgive me for thinking this was the most boring piece of tripe ive seen in months. You have absolutely no sense of timing, or taste, or whats funny in general. All these jokes have been done to death, if not on newgrounds then on TV. There wasnt a single joke on here i hadnt heard somewhere else. Learn to write, or better yet, let someone who knows what theyre doing do it for you. Random is all well and good when its done well, but this was NOT done well. I thought that Legendary Frog would get to keep his unfunniest comedy of the month title, but you sir have done the impossible and stolen his crowd, congradulations, your now unfunnier the legendary frog.

And last but not least, your attitude. This is something ive never felt like ive needed to bring up in a review before. You have got to be one of the biggest dick heads ive ever seen on this site. There are those who leave there angry reviews in 1337 and couldnt string a real sentence together if there life depended on it, these i can handle. There are those who look at constructive critism and take it on board, those people i respect. Then theres people like you who view everything as an attack and insult everyone who leaves a comment which you deem to be attack. Whats more, you complain about Awesomes Creed been taken? So your saying not only are you trying cash in on the popularity of an already popular topic, but you felt so insecure about how it would go that you would have to steal even more attention by slapping the Awesomes name onto it, stealing the attention somebody earned for themself? But oh, Awesomes Creed was taken, so what sounds like Creed but would get more attention? Weed. Well, congradulations, you've proven your a complete attention whore. I dont know if your daddy touched your precious pee pee as a child and then abused you when you said no, so you grew up feeling unloved so now you have to make shit flash based on popular games to get the attention you think you deserve, but after whining and telling people to get over it and grow up, all i can say is the person who has the most "getting over it" and "growing up" to do is yourself.

Grow some balls, man up and start make decent. You would be suprised how much better you feel when your appreciated for something you came up with yourself rather then cashing in on games and family guy jokes.

TheMillz responds:

Yea, it's called " Stabika". You want a decent submisson, look at that.I'll be the first to admit this animation sucks. But apparently, you don't need skill to kick ass here.Took 1 week. I think it's funny how a 20 year old would taunt someone alot younger than himself because he's jealous I nailed a frontpage spot. Just remember: You've been subjected to veiwiwing my terrible flash, while I've never even heard of anything about you. Justice sure is sweet, huh?
