EroPharaoh's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cotton Mouths]

I think there's something else in that weed. ;)

I like it! Trippy and fun, here's some critique: some of the backgrounds could use some more work (like the one at 30 seconds in, the dart board doesn't really make sense and the perspective could use some work), but it's only shown for a second so it's not too noticeable. It could also use some more background music and sound effects. Overall, good job, looking forward to seeing more of your animations in the Portal :)

[Back to the Fuhrer]

I thought this was going to be an extremely late "Back To The Future" parody, but it's so much more than that. (I probably would've loved it either way, BttF rocks) Fantastic work! I love the style, love the jokes, love the voice-acting, love the music, just awesome all around!

[Irate Black Man Animated Promo]

"Blaxploitation" is alive and well, apparently... The art isn't bad, but half of the video is just text and the animation that IS present is choppy. The audio is also VERY low quality, like the person receiving the call recorded it instead of the person making the call. The lip syncing doesn't match up very well.

I can see talent, but going down this road of cheap juvenile humor is not going to lead you far. There aren't any jokes, just "haha, this guy curses at strangers!"

Even Crank Yankers had punchlines.

[West Tree gag show ep 16]

The art looks nice, I like the expressions! The audio is pretty low-quality, a better mic is a must for voice-acting!

It feels kind of lazy the way it's an animatic instead of an animation, too. Quality is almost always better than quantity. If you want to make money from this, you have to show people that you're willing to work. Bridge the gap between amateur and professional by filling in those frames!

Overall, nice job, good luck!

P.S. I think you may have also sized the video wrong for the swf; a lot of stuff on the top and bottom isn't supposed to be seen I'm pretty sure. ;)

I would animate it, but I'm really busy with my job with Smashbits Animations, but there will be something bigger coming soon I can guarantee you that.

As for the swf, i usually never resize for those anymore with how flash is dying and stuff, so i usually just assume people will watch it in the HTML video format.

but yeah, one day I'll get a better mic.

[Donald Trump and his sex life]

In a parody video, the impersonation is key. From this video, it seems you've never heard Trump talk...The animation is smooth, but there isn't a whole lot of it - the woman stands in the same position throughout, and her arm looks like it's hanging on by a thread of skin. I can see you have talent, so quit being lazy!

[Strong Viking Obstacle Run]

Smooth animation, but short! I like it - the credits might be longer than the animation itself though!

Artcraft responds:

next animation will be a little bit longer. Thx for feedback ^^

[Sonic The Hedgehog New Order Trailer]

Interesting concept, though completely out of character for Sonic. The stuff that you added to the pre-existing sprite scenes (like the TV screens)need to be blended more- they look very out of place. There are probably over 10,000 Sonic sprite flashes on Newgrounds, so try to find something unique that will make you stand out. :)

[SHORT CHOPS - Save Yourself]

I am confused, yet delighted. Great animation, great sounds, and I honestly didn't expect that ending as much as I probably should have. Good work!!

[Little Amerika "Safety First"]

Not bad at all, though the visuals and the style of animation is completely ripping off South Park. It made sense with South Park, because they started out animating stop-motion with paper. When your characters wobble back and forth to move, it just feels lazy. The Asian character also seemed needlessly stereotypical - shock humor only works when it's clever. I didn't really find it very funny, as most of the jokes were pretty basic "haha, he's dumb" or "haha, he's Asian...?"

I'd love to see you figure out your own style and work on dialogue more, the animation itself is solid and I can see you making something very special!
