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.

This was stupid... yet again.

Without Google, the bunch of you would be hopeless. All you did was steal a bunch of pictures, add a bunch of moronic sounding voices, slap it together in a flash where even the text buttons don't work, and then submit this hopeless piece of crap to Newgrounds. As if these stupid and pointless DailyToons couldn't get even worse than before, my God, they just did. In fact, the worst part is knowing you could submit a completely blank flash, but you'd have enough supporters in the Star Syndicate to actually vote it high enough to pass.

And seriously j00bie, you really think this would get Daily Feature? Not in your lifetime. Those awards go to people who actually deserve them, who worked their ass off on their flash movie to make it as good as it can be. But this... This is nothing but shit that deserves Turd of the Week. Too bad there isn't a Turd of the Day, because I'd love to see this same stupid and moronic series get slapped with that each and every day.

Start actually working on your Flashes from now on. You're only proving to Tom and Wade that there's problems when stupid people unite together to get their crap flash movies into the portal.

TheStarSyndicate responds:

lmao, I never said that this would get Daily Feature.

But yesterdays DailyTMNT was pretty hawt and steamy, ya gotta admit.

[PM meets David Hasselhoff]

THAT WAS FUNNY AS HELL!!!

Seriously, I was laughing my ass off the entire length of the Flash. I hate SpongeBob with an dying passion, and to see this hilarous flash suddenly come out of the blue and give that fugly yellow freak the degrading slap in the face he deserves was enough to brighten my day! Plus, the voices were amazingly close to the real thing, and the outrageous humor was nonstop!

Needless to say, outstanding job! Please, I beg you to make more.

InsulinpumpClock responds:

WOW! Thanks for the nice review. I'm glad you got a kick out of Pube muppet's Archnemesis SpongeBob and yeah I was telling myself I wouldn't do another one of these PM shorts for a really long time after the first one but then this idea came into my head and I felt I had to get it out there while the asorbant little bastard was at his height of popularity. :) Thanks again.

[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.

CodeRedClock responds:

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
