Kwing's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Decline of Video Gaming 2]

Incredibly Boring

Sure it was surprisingly long and fully voice acted, with decent animation and drawings, but it wasn't funny at all. I think I cracked a smile once through... What was that, a 10 minute animation?

The minigames are also repetitive and annoying, as are all of the songs in them.

I hate to be such a downer but this thing just gave me a damn headache.

[4Day Trailer 2011]

Sloppy

As a trailer it works, but the text was plain and the transitions could have used a lot of work. In short, it looked very rushed. The animations are, however, much better. I shall most likely give 10s for those once they're uploaded.

[Incident:010A]

Nice

Reminds me a lot of the Piss, Crap, Vomit, and Garbage shorts you wrote. I love the humor, and the animation was great too. The addition of a random guy Hank neither killed nor cared about was interesting and new, and you took the entertainment value from a different angle this time. Interesting submission!

[Micmadness]

Miccool + Madness...?

This was my first thought as soon as I saw the title. I did a quick check to see if it was really you, and felt I had to watch it. Excellent 3D effects (although some perspective changes are inconsistent with the backgrpund), as well as fast-paced action, great choice of sound, and fancy particle effects! Great job man!

[When a klown dies]

Damn, I Didn't Stand a Chance

Really, really good! The graphics were very finely done and detailed, the hand-drawn backgrounds looked amazing, the frame-by-frame animation looked good, and best of all, the music selection was perfectly fitting! My only criticism is that it's pretty short and could have done a better job at being funny/disturbing, perhaps through a more intense background or special effects.

[FF Crisis Core in 3 min.]

Decent

Something about the way you gave certain shots ample time and other shots barely any gave me a sort of motion sickness, and really the timing was just whack. I preferred speed animations such as Hamlet in 60 seconds. The graphics and animation worked for what they were, and the voice acting was good, but I couldn't help but think that the emphasis was put in the wrong places and certain interpretations were somewhat distant from the original.

[Bunnykill]

Shows its Age

After watching 5a, I came here to see where it all started. If I'd seen this first, I would have taken points off of your latest one for your lack of creativity. The graphics are pretty outdated, but would have been good the day this was submitted. The animation is really good at some points and mediocre at others... The music and sound effects are so-so as well, with the music being particularly unfitting. All in all this was still pretty good, but needs some cleaning up. Also, a lot of the things, such as the white rabbit baiting one black rabbit to stab another one, turned out to be reused later. The combos were clever but you can't keep reusing them!

[Bunnykill 5 Part 1]

Really, Really Good

This is my first experience with the Bunnykill series, and I have to say I'm floored. The animation is nearly perfect and smooth to the point of impeccable. The graphics look great and the weapons and environment are good as well. There's a bit of a story going on, which is a nice little add-on, although it's far from the main focus. And the music and sound effects are extremely good as well. I do have a few complaints though... First, the enemy bunnies seem to be almost deaf, which is ironic since rabbits have a keen sense of hearing... Yet they don't react to sounds going on just a few feet away. Second, as smoothly as the limbs move, they all seem to move stiffly. Joints rarely bend, and the ears never bend either, which I find quite unrealistic. Third and last, the weapons don't seem to get any blood on them no matter how much they're used. Really?

Other than that I have no complaints. The sheer smoothness in this animation is just mind-boggling.

Mottis responds:

thanks!

1. I could've made Snowball be 100% silent while sneaking, but that would've sounded very bland. I knew it was a bit unrealistic but I decided to add in the sounds anyway.
2. Bending joints would have been really difficult to animate. Simple as that ^^'
3. This was a deliberate design decision. Had I put blood on the weapons, the sword would have gotten bloody from the first kill ,and stayed that way for the rest of the movie. I decided against it because I thought it would look bad, and I didn't want Snowball wiping his sword every few seconds.

[School 13 - TongueTied]

Cute

Very nice brushwork on this, and the contrast between the characters and background really fit, oddly enough. The music selection is good, and all in all the animation is very cute, although I do think sound effects would have been nice. Loud ones would have broken the 'magic' of it, but if you had altered them to make them very, very quiet, the animation would have been a REAL hit!! I also thought it was kind of odd that their arms weren't around each other as they kissed.

[The Shape of Love]

Nice

Good choice of music, nice animation, good graphics, really good concept. It's short and minimalistic, though, so I can't give you more than an 8, really. I get that it's supposed to be stylistically simple, but it feels like somehow it could have had more. Perhaps subtle lighting, frame by frame, or shadow effects would have really made your animation pop. Or 3D shots, zoom-ins, and extra angles.
