Zyphonee's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Facebook Twitter]

Another outstanding submission by Johnny Utah.

I have to say, I love your cartoony style, you coloring is a true treat to the eye, and I had quite some time laughing at this, the onw thing I found completely strange was the lack of... well... yeah... cock jokes, but the comedy in this was beyond it, and it was about time these fad sites had a nice parody of their own.
What I did think that was really a bit of a letdown was probably the movement of the mouth. Although I think it lets you concentrate more on the art into it, I think frame by frame looks nicer and shows more effort than a movie clip set to single frame.
I liked how you actually even switched styles at times, that really looked nice and the coloring, although it did not have the amazing graphic quality as the rest of the movie, it looked really nice, but the animation could've really used some more in betweens and less tweens, but I like how you played around with how the characters moved.

Keep up the totally amazing art job!

fbf lip synch looks nicer but damn dude, doing 4 minutes of that wouldve taken me MONTHS

[Roomies!]

I REALLY like the style, but could improve...

The comedy in this movie was really good, and so was the voice acting. Wind made an amazing job in doing voices. The animation was choppy, but seems like it had quite a lot of effort in it. I'd recommend you try to rely more on FBF and less on tweening, specially when lip syncing. Still, an enjoyable movie.

[Ooohhh! Pantalones!]

Que buenos pantalones!

With my mother language being spanish, the spanish here was actually so bad that it was hilarous, I literally thought it was portugese, amazing. The animation is also great, I loved every single aspect of this movie and it's really hella underrated, the bizzare coloring almost reminded me of Catoblepas and the frame by frame was great!

Me encanta esta animacion!

Brother, you've just made my day!

Just when I thought the series reached rock bottom

At first, although I do not like the series and am not a huge fan, I tried to look at this from a neutral point of view, in fact, I found it to have some potential at first, with at first I refer specially to the first scene. I did not play whatever game this movie is paroding and neither I will bother to research and see what the hell it's about, but the first scene made me laugh and I think it was great, still, after that, the movie's quality went WAY down.
First, the animation was actually really good, but it had some serious faults, one of them specially being the shading scheme, it really disapointed me. Actually, all of the coloring was a bit of an eyesore. When coloring your characters, I'd recommend you to use a lot more the color pallet and choose a slightly darker color instead of something that makes so much contrast. This was really noticeable with the skin of the first guys, since you chose a really saturated color to color it and instead of using a variation from the color window, it looked like you used a darker color from the presetted ones, which annoyed me as soon as I saw it.

After the first scene, it got worse. Really worse. The animation went downhill, specially when animating the fire covering this so called "agent". That looked awful in all the sense of the word, it was literally just a two frame movieclip looping, it could help you if you try to use more frames and animate it trying to think of each flame individually engulling each other.

The voice acting got boring already and it sounded improvised, you should probably listen to the recording and think of the quality of the audio, which can be a huge condicionant of the movie. The rest was actually good and the effort was visible in all the frame by frame, specially the coffee part in which everything got slo-mo, that part looked smooth and nice.

Overall, I don't think it's a good movie, but it isn't totally bad either, it just looks like it had a shortage of time.

Egoraptor responds:

I don't think you know what you're talking about when it comes to the color remark you made :x

Otherwise uhm you don't seem to be critiquing how funny the movie is just how visually amazing it is and I never meant for the awesome series to be visually stunning. I could've told you the flames are a 2 frame loop lmao

Hope you laughed anyway despite it not meeting your aesthetic standards!!

[Crappy Days]

Improvement is incredibly noticeable!

Holy shit man, you're improving a lot your work, I gotta say, not only on your animation, but the timing, humour, and voice acting. The animation had some FBF that I hadn't really seen in many of your submissions and clearly showed you put effort into this. I'd actually recommend that you could make a sketch of the character trying to do the proportions as realistic as possible and the exaggerate it, since the perspective at some moments was a little bit off. I also loved the squeak at "Saturday, what a day", reminded me of this certain youtube user that makes game walkthroughs. Keep up the great job!

hehe

This is some pretty perfect timing for uploading it.

[IRC Time Trial 9]

I'm wondering..

.. howcome this doesn't have 5.00/5.00... ?

MrScriblam responds:

im wondering why you suck everyone's dick you faggot

[Epic Lulz]

Not really all that good

Although the remix is good, it looks extremely lazy. There's almost nothing but wether google images or hand made drawings being tweened from one side of the screen to the other. I couldn't laugh at all during the whole extent of the movie. Taking memes that aren't and will never be funny isn't really a good idea for your Flash's theme.

This... is bad

I didn't enjoy the humor at all. The jokes were all as if you were trying to prolongue the whole joke just to have a longer movie. This is noticeable in a lot of moment, the fact that Foamy (if that's the cat's name, I can't remember) has no lip sync makes a huge difference on this movie's score, it gives the immediate feeling that you were just trying to upload it as soo as possible, making no lipsync so that you can reuse the whole MovieClips over and over. The whole movie looked extremely alike an animatic, the jokes weren't good and the only possible solution to this basic ecuation is that you just wanted to upload something with no effort at it. I recommend you make something with a lot more effort next time.

Just a Pico going though puberty here, nothing else to see, people, dismiss...
