LittleLuckyLink's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[madness volatile]

Generic

It was pretty generic for a first Madness animation. It would have been much better if you at least tried to use different backgrounds and perhaps not-so generic Madness characters.

The animation was bad. It was choppy, for one thing, and it was pretty stiff too.
The characters had like, no emotion, and no definition of recoil. (Yet still somehow able to fire that shot gun with one hand) Speaking of hands, I see that you have also not been able to figure out which hand is right, and which hand is left. Look at tributes, and even the official madness, it seriously shouldn't be rocket science figuring out those hand positions.
I didn't like how you animated the feet, They're not supposed to come off of the body like they did. they just didn't look right. You should have made them unattached when they are standing still, but the fact that you didn't just makes it out of place. One side note, on that one part when he grabbed hold of the hostage, and used the pistol, it wasn't a sub machine gun like an MP5, it was a pistol, meaning it doesn't fire fully auto.
Also, you didn't do reactions right. The Madness guys aren't supposed to stand there until they're shot, give them some personality and life, if they're supposed to be such good agents or whatever, at least make them fire their guns once and a while. Another example of this would be at the end, where he just walked up and allowed the guy to shoot him, when he had a good 5 seconds to take care of him.
Over all, the animation wasn't half bad, don't get me wrong, it's bad, but it's alot better than most of the other new guy animations. Keep practicing and don't pay any attention to people giving you high scores, read the reviews, but don't get used to them, because then you'll be pissed off at the first guy who gives a negative review and you'll attract a lot of trolls and spammers and such. Pay attention to the negative comments or else you'll never learn.
Ok I'm done.

wrayayrton responds:

well, i honestly never thought id be reviewed by you yourself, but it is in fact amazing that i was. first off, hands: i downloaded a sprite sheet with only one hand (it was crappy spritesheet... i do not wish it on anyone) as for feet, well, it was my first, come on rly... the pistol was called full automatic pistol, and in the game it is full automatic.
the badguys were movieclips to save me time, and energy, so they suck, i know. but ima put another anim up, and i have re tooled my badguy animation system. the end was: he ran out of ammo, i wanted you to hear that click noise but i guess not

i love negative reviews, so thank you. people like you, who write a long, constructive criticizm review, and actually know how to animate make me feel good inside. your advice inspires me to do much better. so i hope my next animation, you like 3 times as much.
ok im done

[Random Insults ojo66]

Apparently, you have been successfully trolled.

I'll give it a four, but there is more to the reason why, which I'll get to later.
The insults were kind of funny, long and seemingly endless, there was very little animation, so nothing goes there, could have taken more time on the drawing.
Give it something more interesting.

As for the rest, I see these insults are directed at a troll. Meaning that this video is proof that you have been trolled, and that you take things too seriously on the internet. I mean seriously, it was just a troll, I don't see how he could piss you off to make this and that one blog you made, I mean, just block him if he bothers you, and do this to other trolls such as Tyrone101 and MarcoWigg.

nggangsterpimp responds:

one problem though. i cant block him on xat.com/cokeheads ( aka my chatroom ). so thats the problem rioght there. but thnx for the review. :3 and hes still trolling me to this godday day. ha has almost been trolling me for a goddamn year. you dont even know.

[some funny pics]

Woo hoo, a bunch of over used memes.

Oh boy, over used memes that for some reason is JUST NOW making its way to the Newgrounds community. It was pure shit.
I don't even know if I should call it your work, so I'll just refer to it as "this movie" Because clearly, you didn't make any of the pictures, and these are all very easy to find using google.
It doesn't take much effort at all to go get some images, and then put them in flash.
You didn't even script in any buttons, which in my opinion, makes this worse then hentai slide shows...

rofflawl responds:

-_-

[Madness Hitman 2]

At least it wasn't as bad as that Merry Madness.

The art wasn't too bad, it could still use touching up and more effort.
The animation was bad, the only things that moved were people falling over, and the movie clipped feet, everything else just slided across the screen with no definition of gravity, or body fluidity. Animate the head and body separately, add a bit of lean to the body, especially when firing a gun, because if you went to a shooting range and fired a gun, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't stand there like a statue.
It was also too short, just a rushed movie, plan out your movies months before, and actually take the time to work on them.
That's about it, read up some tutorials and look at some of the good madness animations to see how to do it right.

adollfo responds:

thanks for the comment and advice!

[Madness Ownage]

I am disappointed at your previous responses...

Seriously, these people are just trying to help, it is very uncalled for to just erupt at them in their faces..
Now here, is a review made up of constructive criticism,with no insults, only tips, I do warn you that this is a negative review, but hey, you can't always expect EVERYONE to like your movie, well let's get started.

At a first glance I see that this is more along the lines of a test, which belongs on Spam the Web, or some other simaler site. But since it was Madness day, I suppose it was alright.

As for the animation, I would say bad, but with potential. Some of the movements were choppy, while others were kind of smooth. You should practice giving your characters a bit of lean.. As in when they fire a gun, their body moves back a little, you had them to where it was like a statue, and honestly, if you took more time on this, this would have been much better. I liked the whole "elevator thing" because it was pretty clever, but you didn't make it clear that his head was sticking out of the door before they closed, because if he is inside of it, the doors wouldn't take off his head.
The blood animation for that part was badly and lazily done, like you just took the paint brush tool and scribbled a bit, which is BAD. Add more of a spray like animation, like take the hose or something, and watch the water and notice how it sprays, not just sloppily moves down slowly.
I also noticed that the character that got shot has two right hands, go watch some madness movies, and then you'll discover that there are different hands. He also fell really weird, when making him fall, you shouldn't just select his entire body and rotate it to the ground, animate each individual part different, add flow. And when he falls, add a very small bit of a bounce.

Over all this is bad. But you have potential, just TAKE MORE TIME ON YOUR MOVIES. Time is one of the only things that can make your movie a whole lot better. I can understand your rush if you had to finish it before madness day and stuff, but now you have a year, so work on something, and work on it for as long as you can too, if you finish it early, then take the time you have left for your deadline (if any) and add more finishing touches to it, like frames, effects, sounds, animation..

If you are offended by this constructive review by any way, then please leave Newgrounds until you learn that no one is perfect, and there is always room for improvement. People review your movies with a low score for a reason, no one is trying to be mean, they are giving their own opinion, and there is nothing you can do about it, because YOU decided to post it on this site. Whenever you post something, don't just expect solid 10's everywhere.

That is all I have to say. Don't take this review as offensive, because none was meant.

nggangsterpimp responds:

wow. nice contructed review. im sure these tips will help make my next madness movie kik ass. lul.

This was awesome, the song was great.
Everyone had some really nice parts.

FATSHARK responds:

Thanks man, congrats on DOTM.

[Madness Lollyland RE]

Holy shit lmfao

That was hilarious, the animation was great you guys.
The only complaint I have would be the incomplete animation towards the end with only the bodies and stuff.
You could definitely win something
Also- how long was this?

Psychojester53 responds:

Iunno, lol Like, 10 mins.

[MD08 Short]

Good to know you're still animating dude.
This was funny, I liked when he sliced up that one guy and he just exploded.
Happy Madness day
