MchectorII's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[What are the odds?]

That is one simply designed flash,yet it is so enlightening in its message of how special Life is,that it reminds those who tend to forget it doing their daily businesses in this rapidly developing world.It also points out what a real gift Life is(although it can be a little frightening with the odds of that not being born at all,for example)but that makes Life all the more special.Kudos to the creators for making this.

[Peggy in Puritan Times]

The flash is well done with a mix of three dimensional(the church) and two dimensional animation.The characters are quite well drawn except maybe the boy's face is a little uneven(maybe it is just the design style).The plot,though simple and quite predictable(the priest's sermons and the fact this is set in Puritan times(witch hysteria) pretty much set out the story and the rest goes downhill),the story flows out smoothly from the point when Peggy the protanogist explaining her intentions to the point of being misunderstood by the priest.The ending is a little sudden though,maybe it is missing the part with a public uproar when the priest announces Peggy's 'anti-Puritan' deed and the public screaming for her to be burned or hanged.Anyway,that would overly dramatic but it could be realistic enough to point out that the 1600s' witch trials was really a shocking and ridiculous section of history.Poor Peggy would not be missed badly as this is the first of her adventures or misadventures,so good work to the creator and hope to see more soon.

[Eric was drunk when he ma]

This is one piece of animation that will just leave the viewer speechless,so ignoring some 'content' and extracts,the animation is overall decent and deserves some credit for that as it shows the creator at least puts in effort to create the characters(the duck,owls and others),giving this animation some originality instead of fully copying and pasting pictures.Sure,even though this does not have any plot and high quality content,it is better than a spammer's attempt to annoy people like a bad loop,for example.Maybe the content could tone down like less of those scenes unsuitable to younger viewers if this is meant for everyone and the characters' designs are pretty good and could be better with more practice.The one question that remains is that who was singing in the flash?

[The Dining Experience]

All of a sudden,home cooked meals seemed like a lot more favourable option, 'all thanks' to this well created flash revealing the 'truth' behind the kitchen doors,so it is not surprising that no customers are allowed in there.Kudo on the voice acting,animation(not bad overall) and mostly the humorous content.

[The Reluctant Messiah]

Wow,that book would surely be an interesting one to read,judging from this simple,yet meaningful flash.This example indirectly enlightens people that there is always is more to life than going with the flow or going on the same path as everyone else.Taking a different path would have risks but remember that 'In man,it may be impossible but in God,everything is possible' or something like that.Anyway,good work on this.

[Shia Labeouf Cannial]

This is one interesting flash to watch with well created animation(characters' facial expressions are quite well drawn) along with the story being told out in a song.These two elements work so well in delivering the storyline through its simple,yet dark plot until the twist in the end,it creates a sense of uncertainty on the viewers and that they are left wondering what will happen in the next scenes,although to some,it is predictable.The background suits the story so perfectly as they add more suspense into the sinister plot(like the scene where a shadow is on the tree branches,watching the character.)Although the song is not original,the animation accompanies it so well that the creator should be applauded for this(even more so that he is so self taught.)

However,fans of the actor mentioned in the title name may not be very happy to see this.Another small problem is that this came out too late for Halloween but it is enjoyable to watch.

[Chick n' Slice]

This is really entertaining to watch in the way it has been animated in a cute and simple without overdoing.The humorous parts although simple as well(which some considered to be childish,sorry for the crude word)prevents this from being boring,all it needs is a more mature feel to it to appeal to more viewers.The non-vulgar content is certainly easy on the ears after having to listen to other people use them excessively in real life.The voice acting is clear and are able to deliver the lines quite effortlessly.

Now to those viewers who find this piece 'annoying' and childish,what is the use of writing down frustration and insults?What is the goal of this?Hoping to get attention,get support or start an argument with those who enjoyed this?Sorry but those do not make proper reviews,instead they are rather biased negative views given by those who think that Newgrounds is only for mature people,clearly forgetting that Newgrounds is'Everything by Everyone' and since it is a website,it is also 'For Everyone',SO IF YOU THINK WORK LIKE LIKE THIS(which the creators and cast have put much time and effort into)AND HAVE NOTHING GOOD AND USEFUL TO SAY,IT IS BEST TO KEEP SILENT and it will be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

[The Haunted Pumpkin]

This animation is funny to watch with a pumpkin wearing a bloodied dress to a party,it is more like a melon with gender issues.However,its short length and the lack of any real plot are letdowns,maybe it should have been made longer even it was for a competition that you missed(sorry about that) and that Halloween has long ended.Maybe a good starter could be how the pumpkin became haunted and how people would react to this when they find out the truth.Be creative with these ideas or any of your own and that should make a pretty good piece of work.It will take longer and is a lot harder,but in the end,it is worth it.If it is fine by you,a second part would be greatly appreciated.Good work on this and good luck!

Zeebra responds:

Thank you very much Mchectorll, for your indepth and helpfull review. The animation part was completed in 4 days and the menu took a few more days therefore it has been uploaded so late.
Keep your eyes peeled for more Ani-Motion

[Blonk]

This flash animation is quite well done even for a school project in its design quality and simple message but what makes it stand out is its plot buildup like how a faceless character(representing anyone)can be led onto the wrong path after running into shady characters who represent evil temptations offering drugs.It shows that not only everyone has to firmly refuse drugs to prevent them from ruining lives,it also points out that even drug addicts,with enough moral support,can be dragged back to their normal lives.

FossilClam responds:

Thank you for your review. I'm glad you got the point of Blonk being featureless! :)

[Pip the Robot: Halloween]

This little animated flash is just great.
Just in time for Halloween,not too early nor too late.
The characters' designs are wonderful.
The settings and background are pretty cool.
The plot is well done in every place,
all thanks to the voice actor's reading pace.
Ah yes,the voice actor has a talent to do it so well,
From his excellent acting,anyone can tell.
The realistic sounds add to the chills,
all because of the creators' skills.
This Halloween flash even has a humorous bit!
In a creepy scene,it has a perfect fit.
Sadly,it was here that this flash ends.
At 1 minute and 55 seconds.
But how can all this be through?
Until 2 minutes and 37 seconds,there is still 42.
There is something wrong.
To have a sudden end to the song.
Anyway,it is an entertaining way to spend some Halloween time.
Kudos to all is the end to this rhyme.
