Compdude's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[ptui - poetic justice!]

Top of the week?

This was okay, though I am surprised this got top spot on the weekly features. I mean, all it is is a guy spitting out fuck, shooting a bird and then being shot by one. It's kinda funny in its own right, but it's a short-lived chuckle at best.

[Mall Food - Burger Trauma]

Order up!

Wow! You have excellent animation skills. It's always truly a treat to watch flash movies that play and sound like real-life cartoons, and this one is no exception. The story is pretty funny as well - a bit predictable but funny, though it seems to end a little weakly. Nice job. I'd like to see more of this.

[Zelda: The New Enemy]

Good idea, but not well done.

I thought that was kinda dumb. You had a good idea - Kirby vs. Link is a fun concept. You did a pretty good job of ripping the sprites and animating them, but the story isn't very amusing. It just felt kinda empty - like it needed some oomph or something. Decent try, though.

[Talimon]

Gotta nuke 'em all!

Nice work! You took a funny idea and did a good job with it. I liked the use of the Pokemon background music as the kooky, child-like animations of GWB and OBL duked it out. Clever attacks, too. Your choice of OBL's torture was a bit ODD, but hey, it was funny nonetheless. A bit of plain graphics and no pre-loader, but overall this is funny stuff.

[Gohans Transformation]

Nicely Done!

Holy crap, that was pretty cool! This is definetly one of the greatest DBZ-related movies on NG. It reminded me very much of MysticSonGohan's SSJ2 flash, only done MUCH better. The graphics are absolutely incredible; your attention to detailed reproduction of the characters is excellent. And your complex animation is stunning. The music is wierd but overall fitting; and I liked the little animations and buttons before and after the movie. Nicely done. Very nicely done.
.
My only major complaint is it's TOO SHORT! A final, good shot of SS2 Gohan would have been appreciated. But then again, considering the effort that must have gone into this, it's almost forgiveable. Some other points: Kibito is crudely drawn at some points; it's not a huge deal but it stands out among the otherwise detailed graphics. The M's on Spopovich and Yamu's heads are also a bit too thick and undetailed. Minor points, but they do detract.
.
I'd really like to see more of this. Maybe even some original animation? This is definetly episode-quality, but if I wanted to see stuff like this, I'd just go watch episode 204 again. :) Keep it up.

[A Bin Laden Halloween]

Trick or Taliban!

Ahh, another excellent Anti-Osama movie from Mike! I daresay I liked this the best of the three so far - crushing the Towlieban with assorted candies was both clever and well-done. As usual, your animation and sound are also very well done. I can't give you credit for movie diversity, but for the area you focus in, you do an excellent job.

[sam man no1]

Needs major work.

This has good graphics... but not much else. The movie is flawed to begin with; the loading bar doesn't even work. The sound is very distorted practically indistinguishable in most parts, except for the "flex muscles" parts. Oddly, that was the only humorous part as well. The humor is lame at best - at worst it's a bad mix of College U and some other DBZ movies. As for content... try to make SOME semblance of order in your movie. This seems like randomly inspired tripe.
.
I like stupid movies. But not ones that are just plain moronic. Given some work, this could be pretty funny, but as it is, it's just wildly random, unintelligble crap.

[Osama: Nowhere To Run]

Decent OBL spoof.

Another decent OBL spoof. The South Park animation is pretty funny and well done; I particularly enjoyed Powell with Bush on the drums. What I didn't enjoy though was the song. I dunno... it just didn't seem all that catchy. Maybe it's because I heard another version of that song that went, "Come, Mr. Taliban, we know where you're hiding!" that was much more upbeat and catchy... this song sounds too low, slow, and methodical. Other than that, this is fine.
.
I kind of wish this was your own work rather than ganked off some website, but I'm starting to care less and less about that as half the movies here are ganked off someone else...
.
One other question though, why would a huge chunk of the world blow up at the end? Wouldn't that be counterproductive? Oh well. ^_^

[Sonic v Mario (prev fix)]

It started so well...

This movie starts out quite interesting and then... nothing... happens... What a pity, it was a funny concept, with decent graphics and a REALLY cool song! I don't know where you got that song, but I'm dying for a full version. And just when you wait for the dog-eating to begin, it ends.
.
If (and hopefully when) you complete it, this movie could be really cool. Until then, this is mediocre at best.

[Broken Saints Trailer]

Suspsenseful and chilling.

Chilling stuff! I absolutely love your artwork, and the music/voiceover audio is very well done. As a trailer, this sets up a pretty good sense of suspense and interest in the acutal story... a 24 CHAPTER EPIC?! Woo hoo! Now that's the kind of length I like to see. Of course, this is only a trailer (and not nearly as good as the real deal you've put up ^_^) but it's one of the better trailers I've seen in a while.
