jackbliss's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Alley Cats]

Perfect sync with the audio and animation. I really love the sleek stylish character design (particularily the purple cat that comes from behind the fence). They are cool and really connect with the song in a different way. I like the way you introduce each character and how they leave once the music is over one by one. Overall great work. My only suggestion is make your next work longer. All the best :)

kurodeshiro responds:

Thank you :) will work on that.

[just a kiss animation]

Hi Anand. Good work for your first flash. I really like your framing of shots. Hope next one will have more animations and less zooming. Also be careful with the file size. Really love the snow effects. Good song choice :)

[Egorapture]

A completely overhyped ego trip with unimaginable terrifying violence and pyschotic rage that cannot be described by mortal beings... MORE PLEASE :D

[COMET]

Magical...

You've really captured the true magical feel of Christmas every child feels very well. The highlights were the backgrounds. They were sublime and truly out of this world!! The characters were nicely drawn but animation lacked in some parts maybe too much tweening here and there and the frame by frame was slightly choppy. Also the story was bit random and blah at the end with the boy lacking any real emotion with the same weird smile throughout the adventure.

Overall this is the best Christmas entry I've seen in a while and the music really fit the atmosphere you've created. Well done! :)

[-Broken Strings-]

Wow really sweet!

I love the way you made all those animals approach the guy playing the guitar. Very smooth and each had it's unique style. Also a very nice message at the end. Lot of people will come to you for friendship when your life is going well and in tune but the one who remains even after they are gone is the true friend there in your time of need. Great selection of music also.

Overall it was really good even something I could share with my friends. I think you just need to improve your art slightly and make it as good as your storytelling and animation. Good luck on your future submissions and looking forward to seeing more from you :)

Thanks for the review, art is definitely my weakpoint. Cheers for the 10!

[Bunnykill 5 Part 2]

Great animation but bland and repetitive!

This was so bland. Don't get me wrong. The art and animation was fantastic and truly top notch but it's the same mindless violence over and over again with no point. You should really add some depth into your plot so you feel what's behind all this like Kill Bill does. Sure people will rate your works high now but will they remember it? How would they differentiate your style and contribution to the internet community from any other madness inspired movies? You have what it takes graphics wise but it's time you used it with a little more creativity and better story telling maybe add some maturity or irony there alone the way. Maybe even a small message.

Just ask yourself. Will people remember this animation years from now? If your answer is YES then by all means do continue and my sincere wishes.

Mottis responds:

I agree with all your points but I'm not much of a storyteller. Also, I get the most enjoyment from just designing and animating intricate fighting choreographies, using different fighting styles and weapons.

[24in24 Twenty Eleven]

24 animations in 24 hours? WOW!!

It's really amazing that you made all these animations of this high quality in just 24 hours. Even with someone of your kind of animation skill it's not easy. My only quip I would have liked to see more stories than just random stuff like the Toast one (which was brilliant) I really wud have really loved to see what became of the gang that was beating up on the tooth brush for instance. Felt it had enough depth to carry on.

Nevertheless great work all around voices, and music too :)

[2 Guys & a Jigsaw Puzzle]

Brilliant as ever!!

I've always been a huge fan of all your animations but this one is particularly good as it addresses a very serious issue in a light manner so everyone can understand and no one gets offended. Fundamental religious beliefs simply cannot stamp all over hard scientific facts and fill in the gaps and holes simply because they are unknown right now. There are no edge pieces and true some things will stay a mystery but that's the true wonder and beauty of our vast universe. Replacing that with a petty God who indulges in every minute human activity is really an insult to our very existence and knowledge we have struggled so hard to gather.

I hope both atheists and theists can appreciate this unique effort of letting human beings know the true nature of our world and the cosmos is far beyond ANYTHING mentioned in ANY religion and only true understanding of its working only comes from logical thinking and scientific analysis. Really think of all the religious evils, wars, discrimination, corruption, etc. we could abolish if more people took in the simple message this Flash shows!

5/5 vote and 10/10 review!!! :D

[Animator vs Animation III]

AN END TO WHAT HAS BEEN A PHENOMENAL SERIES!!!!

This has truly been a phenomenal series on the web and it's really sad that it's the last one. Many regard this as the best stick animation on the web. I regard it one of the best animations on the web! With each new episode you constantly push the limits to your creativity and I can see a lot of hard work has gone into this making it smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Good luck with your animation career Alan and in case anyone doubts your ability you can always STICK it to them with the world's greatest stick animation series ;)

[C. Crashing a Wedding]

Brilliant!!

Great animation story action fighting sequence and above all the little twist in the end that made me roll on the floor laughing... I can really relate to the poor groom's untimely bowel movement and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone ha ha.

Anywayz kudos to you and your team in the effort and dedication it took in making it and thanks so much for using my tune 'Don't Miss Her Wedding' as the intro music. It's an honor. :)

Now hurry up and continue this... can't wait to see how the rest of it goes!

Thanks for the review! And also thank you for making suck a cool song, I thought it would be perfect for my flash as soon as I listened to it and it did fit quite nice. :)
