Compdude's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Metroids On Shrooms]

What a trip.

Utterly bizaare, mindbending, and surreal, just like a drug trip should be. Great animation, vibrant colors, great character design, and a wicked bent sense of humor. Throughly enjoyable.

[Sprite Quest Part One]

A bad effort.

I commend the author for attempting a plot and direction to his film. However, this movie really does suffer from horrendous voicework, lame dialouge, and large amounts of speaking too close to the mic. It's repetitive, random, and completely uninteresting.

[The Grim Reaper 2]

Well I'll be damned.

Your witty dialouge never ceases to impress and amuse. I think the first has this one beat for sheer comedic quality, but this is still good work.

[16-Bit VS 8-Bit]

Witty bit humor.

Not too bad. It has the zany crossovers and homosexual jokes that are standard to the genre, and it's fairly entertaining. I think it's probably a bit too long for its own good, and some parts are lame, but it's a neat story.

DuckyofAlarcon responds:

There was really only one homosexual joke. The Bill Rizer and Simon Cowell joke. But your review makes it sound like there was more gayness in it. Original I had Cher in the picture but it was'nt quite random enough. LOL. Thanks for the review. Next time please specify which parts you did't like so I can tell how to improve it.

[Spaceballs-vs-Voyager]

To boldly parody what no one has parodied before..

Neat idea! You certainly don't see much ST:Voyager stuff on Newgrounds. I like the hammy animation and camerawork, but the movie would benefit from a less confusing subtitle style. Text would be better put in one place, like at the bottom. Not bad - now all we need is a sequel!

[Sonic The Bedhog]

Turdlicious.

Rather bad, even for Turd of the Week. Random, looping, sketchy meaninglessness.

[Ah! Mr. Schultz! - 01]

Have a heart.

Offbeat and odd humor, but it works well. A satisfyingly different twist on gory violence.

[One Ring to Rule ThemAll2]

Good and bad.

I'm really torn over this movie. It has amazing length, some great animation, and great comic bits at key points. The old fashioned movie, the dolls, the Gollum soliloquy were all pure gold. Yet many of the scenes fall completely flat, and others are just bizaare. Ultimately, it's a fun watch, but could benefit from deletion of the more mundane parts.

[John's Arm 3]

Super members.

Your great humor abounds in this episode, with a wonderful ending kicker. The voice sampling rate (the quality, not the voices themselves) does leave a lot to be desired however. Hilarious episode, well-worth the watch.

mikethepod responds:

Thank you! Yeah, the sound thing has been brought up in the past... the bottom line is that I'll often sacrifice good sound quality to keep the file size low. (As low as I can, anyway.)

[CONAN The Barbarian Ep.1]

Nice slicing action.

Neat bits of animation, with a great artistic style. My only two compliants are that it's too short (obviously, all good movies are), and that maybe a bit more background info could be useful. Voices would be nice, but certainly not needed. Well done!
