Leftovers's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jerry 2]

Awesome

Brought back the beauty of the original, and brought a tear to my eye. What IS the deal with the moon, Jerry..? I guess we'll never know.

[if RE4 gets a sequel]

Painful

Like staring into the sun, it hurts to watch and there are better ways to spend your time.

[Mastermind 5]

I always feel like a dick-

-when I have to criticise high quality free entertainment, but this episode just didn't make me laugh, where the previous 4 have made me piss myself. Unlke some other reviewers, I actually quite liked the new art style, but felt that wasn't really the issue. It was the pacing, as the almost conversational style of humour from previous episodes had been swapped for some quick fire joke style. You could probably resubmit this episode with pauses inbetween the lines, and see a change in reactions to it. Just an idea, the writing and animation were still decent, but it just didn't really feel as much of a clever supervillan satire as it did before...

[Red Bull Short]

Genuinely made me laugh

That was actually really funny, purely because of the ending. Decent writing and good comedy timing.

[Pleasure Island 2]

Awesome

I want a pair of gooseman sunglasses.

[The SuperHero Collab]

The pacing was off

It needed something to make the whole thing feel more fluid; and more like a collaboration instead of a bunch of vaguely related clips. Collaborating on a project doesn't mean getting hold of loads of 2 second clips and sticking them together, it means working with other people to create something that you couldn't have done alone. This was just a way of only having to spend an hour on the animation and being able to submit it. The sad thing is, there were some genuinely well animated segments in that, that the animator could have spent time on alone, fleshing it out into something impressive. But instead, their work will be overlooked as part of yet another, hastily assembled, "collab".

Still, as bad as I've made that sound, the whole thing would've probably worked if you'd had one song playing all the way through all the clips; maybe at half the volume of the sfx.

Makeshift responds:

Thanks for making a review that was long enough to actually say something useful.
The good thing about this is that I can basically learn from these mistakes and now I can work on the SuperVillain Collab, correcting them.

[Junior]

Genius

This is one of the most creative ways of telling a story I've ever seen. Having each character progress the narrative of the whole thing by telling a piece of their life is... well, it's like LOST, but it's still awesome.

[DMT:How to read music/tab]

Suggestion for your next one...

I've played guitar for quite a while, I'm pretty good, but while I can work out a few songs by ear, usually I need to play things through tab. If you could show how a tabbed out song looks when written out in music, it'd really help.

Learning the basics of reading music from this was a big help though, cheers.

Darkmaster603 responds:

Yes, I am already working on Transcribing sheet music to tablature, so you will be able to use that!

Glad it helped you learn the basics, that makes it worthwhile!
