Swift-Freddy's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Last Minute Shopper]

Meh. .

People are a bit over-rating this. I'm not trying to be abusive but I'll give my honest opinion.
Animation was great at a FEW parts but then a lot of it is quite cheap and you take quite a lot of short cuts like instead of doing a walking animation you do a zoomed out view of him bobbing up and down. You also cut out the scene of him ripping off santas head which I know I would rather have seen than just see the after effects.
Another example of cheap animation was the kidnappers laughing T.T .

The narratives philosophical crap was just common knowledge to me and It was often annoying because of it (to me).
The dialogue was corny and not in a good way.

The ending was pretty stupid. A guy who has been speaking about his Philosophy on christmas and his ultimate goal to come and steal money from the mall wouldn't get SHOT, KILL someone and then walk away without taking ANYTHING he had come for. He could have grabbed a little cash.

The style is unoriginal and its obvious your inspiration is from films such as Sin City but it fit the mood well. The Art and graphics was pretty good too.

But seriously, this wasn't as good as most others are saying. I've gone to the trouble of analyzing and writing this review so you can get better rather than be fooled that you are making something ABSOLUTELY amazing.

I liked it when he kneed the guy in the face though. . .

i really do like these kind of reviews! It's people like you who see past the bullshit and tell me what you really think. thank you for the honest review. I'll take your suggestions into consideration and apply it to future projects so that i can improve:)

[Madness Awesome]

Yeah. .

I'm not gonna lie.
Graphics were very bad. If your using a mouse then fine, some but not all people can still use a mouse to draw decent to amazing art but I suppose they have natural manuevability. If you can't atleast draw decent with a mouse then using a wacom isn't gonna help much. (Unless you traditionally animate - paper)
Animation was terrible - most of it was tweened. Try using FBF and consult tutorials ETC.
Sound was average.
Humour, if backed up with better, more enthusiastic voice acting and more appropriate animation may be funny. But you would have to be a genius.
I wouldn't suggest trying to copy another persons style for a first animation as this shows no originality and you are more likely to just TRY and be like another animator - rather than having your own style - and are never gonna be as good as the original artist.
Consult the tutorials, get better at animating, become more original and try to improve from this.

kthxbii

[LIQUID!!!]

Histerical

One of the best metal gear shorts I have seen ever. Your animation is pretty great, art is cartoony, good and the voice overs were great.
Made me laugh and was great.
Score 5 my friend.

FoxCoon responds:

Wow, awesome. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as you did!

[Kowr Neeh Tunnel]

I loved it =D

The fight scene was great and I loved every moment of it. Too bad it wasn't finished. Keep on animating, your near enough to knox's clay skill - humor needs work though =P

DarksbaneTheDog responds:

Thanks man!
I suck at humor (note the bad RE4 reference haha), but I'll try!
