SilentJohn's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tweet - lipsynching]

I'm rating this for its value as practice.

The lip synching is pretty good, although not the greatest. For it to be better, I think there should be some evidence of the mouth actually opening. I didn't see any teeth or tongue movement, so that cheapened it a bit. My only other complaint is how short this is. Even if it IS just practice, that was barely a line. You drew that really nicely and I wouldn't mind seeing more of this. Nice job.

"God, why is everyone here so fantabulous?"
On the contrary, everyone here sucks. You only see the "fantabulous" people because the other losers get blammed. I'd say you're one of the fantabulous ones at this point. :)

Ah, good advice! Thankyou!
teeth and tongue...hmm..
Haha, I'm going to bring a mirror to my desk from now on whenever I do lipsynching so I can see them xD

[Masters n' Haters]

For a "first," maybe I can be easy...

Ok so let me give you some advice should you choose to make more flashes: animate MORE and use bouncing pictures LESS. ESPECIALLY the head ones.

Decent voice work though. Get good with *ANIMATION* and you have the potential to make some really awesome vids.

SirBrodrick responds:

OH.. I hope to make more.. and for future reference, no more bouncing pictures.. or heads. :3 I really would like to do more voice acting, and get good at it.. but.. like I said.. this was a quick flash, so I don't really expect the greatest results.. thanks again for the comments!

[With My Mind's Madness]

Mixed feelings here

Okay so I'm not religious, but this is ...idk... To me, this looks like an attack on a belief that millions share. The visuals and the animations were amazing, but the near-explicit twisting of the character of a man who stood for peace and love... Would you do a Gahndi as Hitler? Or a MLK Jr. as a Klan leader?

Now from a different perspective: Jesus has been raped by religion. Countless religious leaders have used the ideals of a really great guy for their own interests. Knowing that, I could interpret this as the invented "Jesus Warrior." He is tainted by the greed of men, and becomes a tool of war. His selfless sacrifice at the cross has become nothing more than power to these greedy bastards, thus making him no different than the Devil he was supposed to reign victor over.

But that interpretation could be way off, I just don't know. Tell me, what exactly is your point (if any) here? I must say, this is the first flash with a serious issue I've seen on Newgrounds and I'm intrigued to find out if it really is meant to be serious, or if you were just doing something to be doing it.

MindChamber responds:

I'd say your interprtation, is pretty much on point, . Jebus has become a hallpass to do whatever we feel like, it also fits really well with the madness series view on abused technology.

[InspectorGadgetFlashToon]

Pointless, among otehr things.

Poorly animated. You used pictures and text--two things that really annoy me. I do like the inspector gadget song though, it almost made up for the visuals. My advice is to not do any more flashes with pictures. Please, take the time to draw the characters yourself, and at least make an attempt to animate them. I seriously had NO idea what was going on the entire clip. Just a ton of pictures, text, an explosion, and a comment that ...well... creeped me out.

Yoshio responds:

because of this I shall now do flash exclusively with pictures

[Oh No... Goatse]

Wait, what?

You and your friend "discovered" goatse??? 0_o
