PBM's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kirby Vs. Sir Kibble]

You've got potential lad...

This was basically a simple, short movie..BUT..your animation skills are pretty impressive for just starting out. Look for an email from me regarding flash 5. ;)

[Schmitt & Chesterfield]

10's across the board!!

Dave,
This was fantastic. I love seeing things like this done in flash. It reminds me soooo much of a Ren & Stimpy style cartoon (I miss them). I'm getting ready to go check out your website. PLEASE submit more of your stuff to Newgrounds. We need more quality animation like this!!

[We Are Robots - Angrybot]

I have one word for you...

Heee-fuckin-larious!!
Well, maybe thats more like a compound word, or like 2 words smashed together...regardless, that shit was funny!!
The style was really..errrr....stylish and the voices were very well done.
Bravo!! Encore!!

[Ytown Public 3]

Whoohoo!!!

Finally episode 3!!
Great job Marc!! I was VERY impressed with EVERYTHING this time. The vocals were really good, the art was stunning, and the humor was kicked up a few notches. I loved the part at the beggining..a toad!! A Squirrel!! LOL!! I think the Bear is the funniest of the group now. "Its Yummy"!!
The intro part with the forest was very nice. I liked the way you used the layers and the scrolling effect. I liked the rays of light coming theu the trees too. Really sweet.
Overall...I give it a 10!! Good job!!

Newton Yummy... Yeah the bear. Did you see the info about him? Hehe...

[Miracle Explosion-Ep#04]

This was awesome Fourchinnigan!!

Wow...I knew this latest installment was gonna be THE SHIT, but I had no idea it was gonna be this fantastic. Bravo man...Bravo!! The 3d effects and the lighting and the shadowing and the blurring effects and the vocals, everything was perfect. It was wild how you had the flippant storyline going on, almost hard to keep up with if you turned your head for just a second...lol. I loved it man!! Very much worth the wait. EVERYBODY WATCH THIS!!!!

fourchinnigan responds:

Cool, I fooled you. I don't have the equipment to do 3D yet. It's all 2D.

[Epilogue]

This coulda been decent...

If you hadnt gone into a weed induced coma and scripted the characters as if they were crackheads. Whats up with that? See theres this thing called "time and place" for things to coincide with their surroundings. Such as, you wouldnt see Jesus and his disciples in a burger king playing doom on his kick ass laptop. It may add to a comedic presentaion, but all aspects of your movies pointed to a serious note. So why have one guy talking about blazing up a joint?? Anyways, nice artowrk, and a pretty good job of directing the scenes. Try to get some better dialogue for the next one.

Some honest critique...

Marcus,
First off let me say that I think you have alot of talent and I love your artwork. You have a real knack for directing the scenes and the voice acting (tho low grade sound quality) is done very nicely.
I noticed a few things that would make this series better tho.
#1. and most importantly..THE SOUND. I know it cost money for a decent mic, and sometimes its still hard to get a decent sound, but this is really the first thing you should do. A clean sound can make all the difference in the world to lazy scrubs who cant make out the sounds, but are too lazy to read..heh. If you need any tips, or any voice overs for any parts, or any software to help with the final mix, let me know.
#2. The characters arent real defined. I know its just starting out and all, but I feel you need to give the characters more personality. Maybe you should add a few characters as well, and give motives behind the characters actions...such as why does the Principal hate kids so much, etc.
#3. I can tell you did a better job on the story board this time, good job. I think you need to try to put a little more humor in the series and make the stories a bit more solid.
Good luck on part 3, and I have some ideas for stories if you need any help, or want a few ideas, just let me know.

McRhyme responds:

You think I should add depth to the character? Hello? Flash toons are totally 2D. This comment will make a brilliant joke in one episode. A see a man explaining the laws of physics in the cartoon world. Haha. More humor you say, well I add as much as I ever can. I aim to have 10 jokes a minute. Haha.

You will probalby be mentioned in the next episode, one way or another.

[Ballad of a fallen angel]

This was deep...

Thats a really moving song. I think the feeling with the white and greys you used conveyed a form of depression and sadness. The music went right along with the flow. Almost as if there was hope, thru failure. Good job.

Thanx
Viewers like you are what keep me creating

[The Pinch]

I thought this was pretty funny...

I laughed my ass off at the part where Pinch screamed like a lil ole bitch....lol. Funny stuff...Oh I also like dit when Pinches dick twirled the light saber, oh...and when he was laughing at the other guys lightsaber problems..that shit was funny too.
Good job. I will give you a 5 because I liked your movie and because I can.

halboski responds:

Thanks, You picked up on some of the funny little things I put into it.

[Bucky Wild-Boy In Peril!]

That was terrific!!

I loved how you worked the game into the preloader. Really nice. The animation was top notch and the voices were perfect for the characters. I esp. loved it when ROb did the announcers voice. Made me wish for my childhood felix the cat and underdog cartoons.
Keep up the good work Rob!!
