MchectorII's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mental Illness is no Joke]

This little animation is a grim reminder that though everyone has the freedom of speech,we tend to forget that we have to think first before talking/writing to/about the other party or occasionally,in a moment of immaturity or anger,our words often hit the other party harder than we sometimes,think.Even if we do realize the 'damage' our words have done,we would probably shrug it off,thinking that the other party has forgotten about it or that it was all a joke and that no apologies are needed.If it's only one person who are using the insults and who has a mindset,maybe it won't be so damaging but if it's a group of 'piranhas',it would be unthinkable,who could actually take in so much hurtful language without ever feeling a pinch?Most,if not all of us aren't immune to insults,sure,we think that those are ONLY words,nothing more and we either fight back or ignore,but what about those other victims who are more sensitive,they will get hit even harder and if they do not have any 'backup' in time,they lose not only their dignity,but their sanity,in extreme cases,and those who sympathize with this group of people,well,where are they at that moment?They are either bystanders' or they're just not there.We,as humans,are equal and should deserve equal respect,no matter race,gender,species(animals need this too!) and religion,so if anyone sees a 'troll going around wreaking havoc' anywhere on the Web,go ahead and stop the damage(report it to the moderator) and help the victim if needed as well.Peace can only happen if everyone just thinks before using words to express ourselves and if we're just angry,just KEEP QUIET,after all,silence is golden.Anyway,good work on this,everyone's gonna need reminders like this,now and then,in this tech age.Keep it up!

Hi MchectorII, I agree with what you said about taking action on the web. We don't have to stay silent when something wrong is happening. Thanks for your review!

[Alle eendjes zwemmen in h]

Wow,the amount of movement in here is similar to that of a busy construction site-both require care,skill and time to create some form of art.Maybe it's true that this is a 'live' video and that some viewers may disagree with this being here,credit still has to be given to the artist who's brave enough to show off one's skills and used quite an amount of effort and time to do it,so kudos to this artist, keep it up and keep them coming!Good luck!

AngelsDead responds:

Thanks..

After chrismass I hope hope to have a better camera/webcam.. and a more steady place to draw.. So that if I record it, you don't see every movement I make in shocks in video itself.

I'm glad you like it.

[The Balloon]

This animation is simple yet meaningful,in both its quality and the painful message of failure in achieving one's goals,and the music really suits the melancholic setting of the story which makes one reflect on life for a while.Just keep on practicing and keep up the good work!

Maxiecole responds:

Thanks!

[If I Had One]

This would make a pretty good new year's resolution for an animator and man,you have the potential and who knows,you will make it there very soon as at the rate you're improving(and submitting),so keep it up and good luck!

And this is good for a quick laugh,if the viewer is able to 'spot' the joke,so good work!

WooleyWorld responds:

I know right. Some people didn't get the reference and I facepalm'd.
Yeah I like to think I'm learning with each animation. Do keep up, and keep reviewing.

[Calcium Wrath]

Unpredicable and indescribable are two words that come to mind while watching this and those are some of the things that makes Newgrounds so special.This is also strangely entertainng and quite addictive with its quirky humor and that it leaves the viewer thinking,who or what gave the Lactater his 'superpower'?(A backstory may be needed.)Great work and keep it up with the surprises!

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks!

[Flash test: "Hand drawn"]

There's nothing better than learning something new from practice,so good work!It also looks promising although it seems quite difficult to do,maybe this could be a tutorial to others who are learning.

NeonF1sh responds:

Thank you! It was actually surprisingly easy, at least to me. There are definitely better tutorials out there, I've mainly used snippets of info that I've seen from various youtube videos.

[Art of War]

Although it may not seem a lot,this would actually make a pretty good storyline as it has humor and suspense(the drawing of a monster coming to life,a situation that has both.)The animation quality is excellent(personally having no experience,so not really a fair judgement,sorry.)The character must have had a background and not a pretty one too(maybe a little backstory to him to show how he lost his leg or how he ended up with the magical pencil?)These are just some questions that this little animation left behind,so it would be great to see a second part or even,a series come out of it.Good work and keep it up!

CrabbWalker responds:

Thanks for the constructive criticism!! I'll think about a second part!
