JackSmack's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hunt 4 Zombies]

Good animation but you should drop in a preloader.

Preloaders are really easy to drop in your flash. if you go to the submit content section and then the Flash Section right at the top the second link is to a downloadable preloader that you put on your first frame of your movie.

Good work overall though. The mother's voice was rather distorted though.

medli20 responds:

Thanks for the advice, but the truth is, my version of Flash is so ridiculously old, I can't even do that. *cries in emo corner*

All jokes aside though, thanks so much for the feedback! :D

[Monster's Dream]

Nice work!

Howdy! Nice to see you are still at this and are having sucess! That animatic stuff comes hin handy doesn't it?

Anyway good job on the backgrounds and syncing to the audio it worked quite well. I would have ended it with a bit more pinash or with him waking up but I really liked it.

animatorjones responds:

haha thanks man, it's been a while!

yeah thanks to you i started taking animation a little more seriously in terms of storyboarding and what not :D all from that one collab.

anyway thanks for the review, yeah i had planned to add scenes of him in the "reality" imitating what he was doing in the dream but when i played it through it was even more confusing... the end result would have been him waking up and then passing out again but i went a different route. anyway on to new things right?

thanks again man, you helped me out a ton way back when :3

[Fiddle and the Drum]

Conflicting point of view but still good.

I personally believe that the war in Iraq IS NOT a bad thing... It is doing more good in the world than bad... Yes the soldiers are getting wounded... they are soldiers. When you realize that it is thier job to put themselves in harms way for the better good and that they vollenteered to join and most of them WANT to be there... you realize that people calling for them to be "Saved" and brought home don't see the whole picture... People who say HEY how big of a threat could Iraq have been when it only took 2 weeks to take the whole place over again don't see the whole picture as well... what if a neighboring country of Iraq had invaded? The people of Iraq would be alot worse off then they were under Sadam... Anywho... nice to see a flash with a message even if I don't aggree whole heartedly... I do think the guys who are over there have been there long enough but when so few people HERE are willing or able to sign up and go over there to replace them they have to stay... which is the real problem in my opinion... but again just an opinion.

Green-Glow responds:

I realize that we cannot jsut up and pull out of Iraq... I just think we need to be careful not to forget that there is a war going on...

Thanks for reviewing even though you had a different point of view - It is appreciated.

[Coffee Shop ep.7]

Man... that was nasty...

First off I liked the movie.. it was pretty funny... but man that was messed up... If I never see that animation again in my life... it will be to soon.. it was well animated though... but man... that was messed up.

CoffeeClock responds:

Wanna see messed up? Watch ep.2!! heheheeee

[Piano Man]

the end was funny.

the character looked pretty good but you should have actually animated his fingers playin the keys and also the sound was a bit soft... then at the end I had to turn it down...

Star250 responds:

LOL, yes, that is something i was hoping would happen.

[Lam 3]

I liked it...

Well... this is a quality submission... though some on newgrounds would say HEY THAT'S JESUS TALK HOW DARE YOU!!! These are the same people who are giving CHRISTmas cartoons high scores... I see nothing wrong with people on newgrounds putting things like this up... Some people BELIEVE it is a good idea to put up a picture of someone getting stabbed... others put even more sick and twisted animations on here... and people complain so hypocriticaly about someone taking the OTHER EXTREME. To everyone who says This shouldn't be here I say THIS IS BETTER than alot of the things that come through the portal every day... and I think due to artistic merrit and design it deserves it's place... just like animations that are secular in nature.

Well... I guess that gives a little info about me out... yep I'm a christian... how bout them apples?
Jack.

wmjames responds:

Thanks! What a world where sick & twisted is okay but mention God and people get all upset :)

[The Ho Down S.E.]

HEY! I recognize that explosion!

WOOOOHOOOO! I had to watch this a bunch but I like how you use the effect... I liked your cartoon too the beginning with the black was good... the coloring in was a bit choppy... would have been better to have the color kinda bubble in from his mouth but all in all a good effort.. you are the first person I've seen who has used my stuff... I know you drew it over again, good job! Worked great! thanks for watching my tutorial and good job here... pretty funny.

SirChadOfKent responds:

YES JACK IT IS YOUR EXPLOSION FROM YOU TUTORIAL I LEARNED A LOT FROM THEM KEEP THEM COMING

[The Cheese is Evil!]

This is pretty Cool... would like to see more.

Hey! THUMBS UP! Looks good, sounds good, Pretty funny and can't wait for more.

Just a few things bothered me. I wish the cheese was not just a circle... it looked more like a coaster than cheese... would be great to have a cheese BALL instead of a slice...

Cause in my opinion all Cheese balls are evil...

GOOD WORK... 4 of 5

Nicomics responds:

Very understandable... I actually had gone through different shapes before I realised A cheese Circle looked the best in the end...

Thanks!

[FRG VIII (Season 2)]

I liked it. pretty well done!

I liked this it was done well... just a few problems that could be easily fixed... I can tell alot of work went into it. Though I would like to have the characters have a little perspective. like a 3/4 view. would be an improvement.

frontrow responds:

Thanks man!! You've got some great tutorials ^_^
