Matt-Merrill's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lemmings: Deus Ex Machina]

yeah...

I was kinda liking it til it turned into aNoTHEr madness ripoff!!!

[When It All Ends]

pretty good

You're right, it was pretty short, but what was there was pretty well done. It might have been nice to stick a backdrop in there or something (I know I never do, but with just those few shots it wouldn't have been tough to paint a piece of cardboard real quick and stick it in there)

One problem with having the movie so short however, is it makes it harder to feel sad for character when he's killing himself right off the bat without you being able to see his pain.

don't get me wrong though, what was there was pretty good. Just throwin out a couple suggestions.

[Clay 1]

don't make more

If the rest of the series is going to be as bad as this, just stop now.

TJN001 responds:

sorry you didnt like it, but it seems it did fine. i can assure you the next will be better, though. there wasnt much animation, just some things we all drew out. more animation next time.

[The Child That Smelt Odd]

very nice

good video. I enjoyed it, but it sure didn't have much to do with 'the child that smelt odd'

[-Where it Ends-]

ehh

the animation was decent. The story was pretty much nonexistant. It's just some bandits or something killing some other guys multiple times. The glasses guys didn't even DO anything. they just stood there and died a lot. You're one of the few people I've seen on this site that actually has decent clay animation skills. you should put them to better use.

Freemont responds:

I don't care if you don't like mine, but i am a huge fan of your work. you gotta make more!

[the sixth page]

woah, nice

Your first flash animation and you're already better than most of the people here! Congratulations! Keep up the good work. I'm glad to see some work with actual thought and meaning in it. You don't find a lot of that around here. Really nice artwork and animation as well. I don't think I could have asked for much more. The only reason you didn't get a 10 was your sound could have been better. but that's a very minor flaw. I hope to see more from you in the future!

[[Early Work] Interview]

meh, it was alright...

the jokes were all pretty predictable though and some of your scenes lasted longer than they should have.. specifically the duck crossing scenes. Overall it was alright though.

["target practice" W.W.W]

dude...

"so you know, this animation was made to point out that killing in all forms is wrong"

Yet you kill Jeff in your animation. You obviously didn't think this out very well. Your movie, I find, is just as evil as Jeff's.

["Target Practice"]

woah...

someone back on the second to last page of reviews noticed the warning and told him to get help but he denied anything was wrong.

Some of you people really love these pointless killing animations, and I don't understand why, but whatever. I dont' mind violence in movies if there is a purpose behind it. But mindlessly killing everyone in sight is just dumb.

[Papalote++]

Excellent

Good Job, I'm glad to see this movie is doing well. Very well made and obviously had a lot of time put into it. Good timing with the music and everything. Way to go!
