Compdude's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Seasons]

I really liked it!

It's so refreshing to see something ARTISTIC on Newgrounds. I can see why you're listed as an art grad. Excellent depiction of the seasons, though summer goes by a little too fast for me, as it always seems to do... was that deliberate? I really liked the music too. It's people like you that add a nice flavor to the usual junk on Newgrounds.

[Masturbator]

Gee Whiz.

Take a clever sound file that's not yours, add your own shitty graphics, then call it yours. The only "Jerk" here is you.

[log boy #2]

Oh, a hah hah hah!

Oh God! I love this because it's so horrible! Oh, ho ho! oh, ha ha! Dude, you are so cruel, and it is damn funny! The baby can't eat because it has no mouth! A hah hah! Oh, goodness. Funny.

[He's Back]

Nice suprise!

Funny! I was expecting someone like OJ or something, but the POPE? Funny stuff. I'm not Catholic, so I can dig the Pope jokes. Good animation, too. I look forward to more, if there is more.

[Just Kill It (Nike Spoof)]

Cute.

I rather liked this stick death movie. A bit on the corny side, but bonus points for adding Taco the Octopus. I like that guy.

[nintendo attacks]

Did he say "hentai" in there?

Not bad. Probably the best use of tweening I've seen in a while. Creative concept, but a bit hokey overall. Tweening only goes so far. Plus those meat target men look JUST AWFUL. Still, it's better than the standard Portal crap. And what an ODD song! Good for a smile, especially with EVIL Shigeru Miamoto. Should have had Link in it, though. :-b Shame on you for forgetting Nintendo's greatest character ever.

[Hitch-hiking]

I liked it!

I actually liked it! The graphics and sound were okay, although text boxes are my main pet peeve of movies. Just sub your voice in there! We don't care what you sound like! I liked the concept, as well as the final music. Good for a quick chuckle. Ouch on the file size, though. It's so short, it shouldn't be over a meg tops. We can't ALL have broadband cable modems like me. ^_^

[Love Hurts]

Taking a first step

The song is beautiful, but since that's not your creation, what counts is the part you created. Now, I don't mean to rip on your emotions. If this is based out of real life, I truly feel sympathetic , unless you were a creep to the girl (boy?) :-). But, in my opinion you don't add too much to the song. Yeah, your message of a "love lost without reason" is there, but it's not really moving. Two reasons. First off, the movie comes off a little... narcissistic-sappy, kinda like saying, "boo hoo, woe is me for losing you, my life sucks now!" Ack. Maybe I've just never lost anyone dear, but I would say move on. And secondly, though it's been beaten into the ground by previous reviews, the graphics ARE a bit (read, a LOT) on the crappy side (that heart? UGH!!). Sorry, but it's hard to be moved by scrolling text. Maybe we've all been weaned on too many eye-candy movies, but a SINGLE FRAME of frame-style animation would have been appreciated. Nonetheless, you definetly get my Kudos for taking the leap into (what has to be) a previously uncharted genre of Newgrounds movies. I don't recall ever seeing a truly emotional movie about real LOVE before on Newgrounds before. Most "love" movies here just involve crude FDA humor... Way to go man. Maybe you don't have the best movie ever, but you made a valiant first brave step into uncharted Newground waters. Now take the second: improve the movie. Who knows? Maybe Newgrounds will become a place of love and understanding. Nah. Hey, better luck with love in the future! ^_^

qpid responds:

Your review is probably the most interesting that I read for this movie. Not many people will write a long review and list the good and the bad with advice, etc. Kudos for that. As I told just about everyone with a response, it was my first movie, and I made the movie basically AFTER this happened. Funny what motivates you to FINALLY learn something like this program. FLASH is hard to deal with, my I'm working on it and it is improving. I AM making another movie but the problems with my computer is making it difficult to deal with. (The sound card quits when I install FLASH. Takes a lot of restarts to MAKE it work.) The graphics... most has been done by hand. Except say.. the night sky when I had to fill it in with a color. But, like I said, it's getting better and HOPEFULLY it WILL be better. Practice, errors and mistakes, and patience. Anyways, there's lots I wanna say in response, but all in all, thanks for your review. Not to many HONEST reviews out there, know what I mean?

[Marcus Peblo!!!!!]

What?

A naked baby's ass, a golden leaf on his schlong, and a voice that makes my stomach retch. Woo hoo. Why is this top 100 material?

[Beyond The Line]

So...

Is he pro- or anti-Hitler? I think by his author's note he's ANTI-Hitler, but I can't tell. This movie, whatever it tries to convey, is both dark and disturbing, and lacks any quality whatsoever. I certainly hope the author is anti-Hitler though, because anyone who admonishes Hitler needs serious, serious help.
