Vincoid's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Triangle n' Octagon]

Amazing!

Keeping the spirit of NG alive there, huh?

Up untill now I've always thought the front page was meant for movies that showed talent. Sure, some pop up once in a while that lack talent but are in some way unique just plain funny.

Too bad that's not the case right now.

I have a hard time believing, well actually I don't because I know it's bullshit, but this would've never made front page if you weren't working for NG. Seriously, this movie (for lack of a better suiting name) lacks pretty much everything it can miss to make a great movie, so why would anyone put it on the front page? It's not even funny!

Great submission get lost in the portal while at the same time this shit takes it's rightful place. Do you think that's worth it? You having a few laughs because this bullshit is on the frontpage and people complaint about it, while at the same time a movie that someone worked on for weeks or months is overlooked?

I'll give you 3 stars for the qualities you've shown us in this movie:
- You can talk and record it: go you!
- You can tween shapes (that's an underrated quality)!
- Bonus point for actually getting me to write this!

I'm not expecting a serious reply to this so just go ahead, be yourself, and write something about dicks or something (because that would be terribly original!).

Love,

Vincoid.

JohnnyUtah responds:

another SERIOUS SAM...

anyways I WOULD make a dick joke, as that would be more original than your oblivious rant here. not everything revolves around ART and ANIMATION.

there's plenty of well drawn and animated stuff on this site that's also TERRIBLE. movies you no doubt gave high scores to, because you're a pinhead.

[FC Tells Da Truth]

Amazing!

Damn I enjoyed that!

Animation was smooth and enjoyable as always, just like your use of color.

I have to ask you though, what is going on with all the Nazi and Hitler stuff in your movies. I enjoy it, but I'm wondering why you put it in there (though it's obvious why it is in this one).

Gotta say that I love the tiny little things in your movies though. For example, in this movie, right in the beginning, the oven full of burning Jews. Not that I have anything against Jewish people or anything, but it's just on eof those tiny details that add to the feel of the entire animation.

I also like how 'Santa' doesn't look like any other Santa I've ever seen. Another one of those things that make your animations so unique.

they're just fun to add. it's the simplest, most offensive logo that's easy to hide.

[Harry The Harlequin Fetus]

Damn right!

This is like an acid trip gone wrong!

Great colors as usual, awesome animation, very enjoyable and funny too.

Thought the whole topic about the Harlequin was great, and even though you animated a lot of things around it that didn't quite fit in that topic, I loved every single moment of it.

I've always been more of a fan of the 'mainstream' animation, simply because that's all I ever saw. Thanks to your animations and Zekey's animation posts, I'm beginning to appreciate these kinds of animations more and more.
I mean, you can say whatever you want, from how sick you must be to how damaging this is to kids (they'e warned), but you can't deny you have great animating skill.

["Treat"]

Pretty nice

I like the atmosphere, but there was some definite room for improvement animation wise.

Let's start with the atmosphere. I liked the flashes, sudden images and distortions. Those things add a lot to a movie, certainly one supposed to be creepy.
The frame around the movie added to the atmosphere too, as well as the overlying texture.

When it comes to animation, I saw a lot that could be better. First thing I noticed was the walkcycle. I'm pretty sure you've noticed it too, but his legs don't move forward and backward, but circle around the middle.

Then there was the lip sync, or the lack off. Of course, this was in the extra part of the movie so I can't really blame you for that, but it would've added a lot to the movie.

The alternative ending was pretty funny though, I give you that.

SaltyPeach responds:

Hey, your better then most people here who give me around 4-6. You put your time to criticize, and I thank you for that.

Do not forget though that I only had 2 weeks to do this. Maybe 14 hours total.

Anyhow, thanks.

["trick or treat?"]

WHAT TEH FUCK?

Threw you off there, didn't I?

I love this movie man, I think it's a little gem in its own Boogley sort of way. Also reminds me of some of the more experimental animations I've seen on the net, especially in Zekey's cartoon posts.

As for the movie itself, I think the animation was great. Of course, your usual fbf style which I love for its stability, while still remaining squickly. The movement and pace of the movie were great and fit nicely with the music. Could really feel the creepy atmosphere because of that combination.

It's pretty short, though I can't really blame you, for a weekends work, it's great.

Now go write some totally unrelated yet witty reply for which we all love you ;)

Love,

Joe Pesci.

TheBoogley responds:

When I was a kid, we used to have scones with jam and cream at tea time...
But then, one day it stopped. :(

[Valhalla Knights 2]

It's indeed corrupt...

This movie is really awesome... untill it stops playing of course. It happened when the third zombie guy stood on the gun. The movie suddenly stopped and it said: "movie not loaded".

Hope you can fix this because I really enjoyed this movie and I would like to see how it continues ;)

Hmmm...

First of all: STOP BEGGING FOR GOOD RATES!!!
Your flash submission should pass on quality, not you begging like a little baby.

Now, on to the movie:

-Since MY NG is some sort of hye now, I'm not going to start on unoriginality here. But, if you participate in a hype like this, a contribution to the original, make it worthy. This is not even near AllenAwesome's movie.

-Sound quality was horrible. You don't have an interesting voice or way of telling (I don't blame you) and should've spoken more clearly.

-Video wasn't that bad. Sure, not that great of quality, but you're young and I don't expect you to own some kind of $3000 camera.

-Animation sucked. It's that simple. You just popped up some icons or rectangles with blam on it and then write: "Ok people I have spent pretty much all my time working on this flash!". If that's your best and all your time, I think it's not even worthy of the 2.10 it has now. Also, the idea of these MY NG movies is that you interact with the animation. Not pop up some crappy rectangles when you slightly move your hand.

To be honest with you, I didn't even see the whole movie. I watched till the part with the pivo stick and then I clicked away since I already knew that there was't anything coming that had some quality.

The best part of all this is that I don't even blame you for all this. You're just another kid that thinks his movies are good, just because you're happy you can animate a rectangle

Let me give yu some advice: Practice animating and drawing, but don't submit. Simply take 2-3 years of your life, just to practice. Then take a look at this and compare the result. You'll see that you have progressed a lot since this movie. After that, start submitting again.

Hope I helped you out a bit here,

Vincoid

Very Nice

I really like this. Those simple graphics really go well with the style of animation you used here. Great use of fbf in there as well as smooth tweening.

Some things didn't quite fit though. I found the music a bit too slow and too soft. The animation itself was a bit slow too.

Besides those two things, I thought this was great. Great sense of humor (the vaults) and great clown :P
The endig was great too.

the slow soft music was kinda intentionally slow and soft. sorry it didnt work for you.
but glad you enjoyed it.
