RazorHawk's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[AntiClockClock Confession]

I think you're pretty good.

Actually, I've seen several of your movies, and I think they're quite good. I didn't even know you've been doing Flash for that long. I'm glad you've decided to stick with it, and continue to build your skills with the program. It's definitely obvious that it all paid off.

There will always be idiots that vote zero on even the greatest of flashes out there, just for the sake of frustrating the author. All that needs to be done is to show them that even with all their demoralizing comments, you can still rise greatly above them all by making what you do best even better, and then you'll be the one looking down upon them.

And you've done just that. Congratulations, and good luck to you in the future.

AntiClockClock responds:

Now you learned more about me! =) Thanks for your review!

[Animation Tutorial 3]

Another good tutorial!

Ah, I didn't think you would have another one up so soon, but I'm glad to see it and I'd have to say, this one is quite good as well. The part with body language was actually pretty good too, not a whole lot of lip syncing tutorials even cover that area.

This series is great for beginners, and I'm glad you created it. Nice job, and again, thank you for reaching out to help other flash artists become even better.

JackSmack responds:

again you are very welcome... I started to make these on a whim cause I saw a tutorial that was VERY DEGRADEING. I watch alot of the things on here and know there are some people who REALLY TRY but don't have the knowledge...

I want to see people make good animations. and it doesn't hurt if they like me for making the tutorials... hehe... Everyone needs friends right?

Again thank you for your complements and you are welcome for the tutorials.

[Animation Tutorial 2]

Very helpful!

I definitely learned something from this. Yeah, I was thinking that it would probably be better to keep these kinds of tweens and animations within their own movie clip, rather than moving each individual part on the main timeline. Thankfully this clearly confirmed that.

In all, fantastic tutorial. I'm glad when the pros reach out to try and help new animators. Eventually that's how we can all get good at Flash.

Thanks again, and good luck with your Short Bus series.

JackSmack responds:

Well I'm not a pro... But I'm looking for a job... Hope I find one... would be nice.

[The Adventures of Giani 2]

We get it already...

One of these days, you guys are going to kick yourselves for screwing up your batting averages like this. I already know the whole purpose of submitting these is to simply annoy people and get a funny reaction from their reviews. Well congratulations, you've done your job. Now please move on to something else for a change...

And for one thing, it's kinda sad to see that some of you really have potential, like ThreeStar, to create a good and funny movie, but you don't decide to do it 95% of the time. Isn't it supposed to be about quality rather than quantity?

Anyway, enough about that. I don't call the shots on what you do, but I know just about all of you can do better than this if you just put your minds to it. Try it next time. I'm sure if you can turn haters into fans if you show them something just about everyone can laugh at, and you show them the real Flash talent that you're capable of.

Until then, see you later. I hope that gives you something to think about.

FUCK PIKACHU, FUCKING YELLOW RAT

[Super Smush Bros.]

Funny, but...

Why oh why did you go and let Kirby beat up Pikachu!? Ugh, it drives me nuts when people do that. I hate seeing Pikachu as the public punching bag of Newgrounds...

Okay, yeah, it's a good movie even though it's pretty old by now and I'm sure now that's its two years later you could remake this fifty times better if you wanted to. Even so, excellent use of sound in this one, plus it was on the funny side.

Kinda needless to say "keep up the good work," when I'm sure you already can. But anyway, you guys have done a fantastic job with all your Flashes, and I hope you keep working on them and keeping them going for many years to come.

The-Super-Flash-Bros responds:

Pikachu was only in this because he's a famous character from SSBM, just like Link and DK.

[DailyToon11042004]

Consider this...

Look, I know the Star Syndicate has an uncanny ability to get whatever they want through the portal just because of who they are and the high number of supporters they have. It's through these same supporters that make it possible to get these kinds of crappy entries through even when they normally would have been blammed. It wouldn't be wrong to say that Star Syndicate was formed with this intention in mind, to cheat the system in whatever way possible.

Regardless of whatever score this ends up obtaining due to your compatriots, I still think it was crap. Regardless of the number of supporters you have who always vote 5 just because they belong to Star Syndicate, there will always be people who can't stand these kinds of submissions for what they are: a total lack of effort in both animation and graphics. It wouldn't be wrong to say that's exactly why FourStar has Two Turds of the Week, because he had his buddies from Star Syndicate to get his submissions in, but when the rest of the Newgrounds Community hated it, no doubt that's the reason why the score fell so low after it passed judgement.

If Star Syndicate were to work together as a team to improve their ability and talent at Flash, and work together to create entires that the rest of us could appreciate, then I would commend what the group does. But the way it looks now, that's exactly what you're not doing. I've seen absolutely no improvement whatsoever in these entires.

If you all were to work on your graphics, help each other improve, and work together to make your entires better and better, then I think everyone would see that as commendable, and you could create some really fantastic entries that Star Syndicate could actually be proud of. But for now, I just don't see the effort put into these submissions.

But, I can only say so much. Where you go from here is up to you, and is only your choice alone.

P.S. Four probably wanted those awards.

[Magnificent Earth]

Interesting message

Nice job on the graphics, and the animation was pretty smooth as well. Length could have been a bit longer, but nonetheless, you got the message through, and it was a very good one. Yeah, I guess we all could clean up our act around here quite a bit.

I highly recommend listening to Filter's song entitled "Cancer" if you're into doing Flash like this. I'd have to say that if you plan on making another environmentally conscious Flash, it would a great song to use for background music. But that's up to you.

In all, keep up the great work.

BigRed responds:

Filter is good :D

Although I have too much on my plate at this very second to start another environmental animation, more shall be produced :)

[Falling Leaf FBF]

Well animated.

Short, but the animation was smooth, and the motions of the leaf were pretty realistic, which isn't that easy to capture in a Flash. I would have liked to see something a bit longer, but I'd have to say this was pretty well done for what it was.

Keep up the good work. Just make the next one longer.

FLiXD responds:

Will do. Thanks for the compliments, they help inspire me to push on with the finished product. I just got to the stage where I needed a little feedback
