SirBladewind's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sparkle Pom-Pom Squad]

Sad to say it, but this was exactly how my high school cheerleaders were. I know there are smart cheerleaders out there who are probably not shallow and stupid, but at my school, there weren't any. This is pretty much true to life depiction of how they acted, only they WOULD bare their breasts (happened at a football game once on a dare) and they didn't lose the crowd quite as easily since they and the football players were adored and worshiped.

So...good job on the documentary of the average highschool cheerleader XD

[World of a Civilised Duck]

I guess the world isn't different even if you were to switch roles...

Gerkinman responds:

Yeah I dont think anything would change.

[Say Sneeze]

It was okay. The jokes in it made me chuckle a little and the animation was serviceable enough to get the message across but not fluid or beautiful. The concept itself was a thing that was a little funny but to be honest I kind of expected it to be "meh" and "meh" it was. There wasn't much unexpected laugh out loud humor or any surprises and the pacing of the jokes was very slow. When you showed the car I immediately knew they were going to go off a cliff and it took what felt like a long time for the joke to finish. That kind of pacing takes the humor out and makes the animation a little bland. I know you had only 25 days to make it so that can be part of the problem but the overall product that came out was only okay, especially when compared to other artists and animations out there. I absolutely think you can do much better and I'll see what else you have to offer next when you don't have a 25 day deadline hanging over you. Please don't take my review as a personal slight, but rather I hope it motivates you to strive to the give the best product possible because when you release a product that just isn't your best you aren't just doing your audience a disservice, you are also doing a disservice to yourself.

Best of luck to you and I'll watch your animations in the future to see how you grow. =)

Brewster responds:

Thanks for the in depth review. The pacing of the jokes was something I wasn't really sure about. Once I added the song in there, everything changed. The shot where they're driving was a lot shorter and the shot with the dentist was a lot longer, but I switched up the lengths of both so it syncs up with the song. I guess the driving gag was pretty predictable and drawn out but I feel like it balances with the dentist scene's brevity. In any case, I'll keep working on improving. Thanks again!

[Cartoon Genders]

The audio quality ruined it for my i'm sorry. It was difficult to understand and your accent made it worse. A test that helped my friend in animation was he would play his videos and only accept the audio quality if he could understand each word perfectly in the next room. Perhaps you should do that to test next time?

Best of luck.

Pennaz responds:

That's actually a pretty clever idea! Thank you for your help, I'll try it next time I'll need dubs!

[One Girl ; One Sandwich]

I didn't know sandwiches made women's nipples so hard. No wonder my girlfriend goes to subway all the time.

[The Fizzy Drink.]

I don't know if you were going for an artistic piece or a funny one but I don't really think it hit either in my opinion. While I do appreciate your vast and varied vocabulary (obviously you are well educated) I don't really feel that this video did anything particularly special. The art was good and the voice acting was excellent, but the meat of the video was nothing more than a rambling nonsensical rant of someone who was drunk off of a non alcoholic beverage. Could have been funny if it had more jokes. Maybe it could have been more artistic if the rant had more of a meaning than "this shit is good,"

As it is, it hit neither and ended up a rather amorphous blob of a video with no substance or structure to give shape to either story or meaning. I like your artstyle and Elspeth has a very lovely voice that I'd like to hear in future videos. Those are both positives, its just the meat of the story thats the problems.

My advice to you is I think you should perhaps set a goal as to what you are trying to accomplish with a video (IE: are you trying to make people laugh? Make them think? Entertain them with an interesting story? Confuse them?) and try to design the video around that purpose. You have some talent and with some work you could be a pretty awesome animator. Hell if you don't want to do the humor thing that could be good. 90% of newgrounds animation is humor related anyways. It would be nice to see something new out there.

Anyways, keep up the good work. I hope you found this constructive and I'll follow your videos because I get the feeling I'm going to see more of your work in the future. :)

Good Luck!

TaraGraphika responds:

1.Thank you for your advice. Yes, I do feel this is well constructive, your well educated yourself.
2.Elspeth is an AWESOME voice actress, believe that:)
3.Yeah, I'll try to accomplish a goal/message. The next video will have that. Promise.
4. Thank you very much for taking your time reviewing my work and to follow me on my videos. It helps a lot:)

[The Order]

Okay uhm...good art and decently well voiced but I think it'd have probably been funnier if you had given a context to let us know what was going on. I didn't really understand any of it so it just seemed like people being randomly murdered. Good try anyways

[The Reward]

What can I say that has not already been said. This is simply put, a masterpiece. You guys did brilliantly. If I wasn't scrounging for food money just to eat regularly you'd have a donation from me for sure!

I'm amazed you could put together such an incredible world of depth in scope with just a mere 9 minutes and no dialog. Hollywood should come to you guys to get lessons.

[Lisa Killed Off Simpsons]

This video is absolute truth. Out of every simpsons character Lisa is my least favorite. She's bitchy, she pushes liberal agenda constantly to the point where I feel like I'm at a political rally, and all of her episodes generally are boring and super serious.

Funny as hell man. 5 stars. The part where homer's arms go all squiggly makes me laugh my ass off every time!

Also I know Bart was being a peeping tom but this was the first video in awhile you've made where nobody was actually masturbating. I'm kind of surprised honestly.

Speedo responds:

yeah i've done like 50 masturbation jokes before, I think I can lay off them for a while THANK YOU
