Compdude's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A.I. Revenge]

Computers with a twist.

Funny, short and sweet. It's like a well-delivered Flash joke. Good twist on the punchline too... I never knew computers were so possessive. The quick and brutal violence only made it that much better. Nice work!

[Cock Fighter Z]

Great DBZ parody!

Hilarious, creative, and action-packed movie from title to credits! First off, the whole concept is completely crazy, and therefore completely hilarious. You have a catchy title - and you certainly back it up with hard, cock-fighting DBZ action. You even made amusing chicken parodies of the DBZ fighter names.
.
Good sound effects and fighting effects too. You gotta love the gobbling grunts. But of course, the topper is the SSJ transformation. I thought, "Oh, he's not gonna do that", but just then you went ahead and did it, topped with a kamehameha in chicken-ese. Hilarious.
.
Still, some things detract from this movie. Text bubbles are a major pet peeve of mine, and to see them here in lieu of potentailly amusing dialouge is a major diappointment. Also, the fighting, while good, consists mostly of the chickens whirring like saw blades back and forth. Of couse, there's only so much a couple of chickens can do, but a bit more creativity would be nice.
.
This is a really creative DBZ parody. I hope to see more.

[Paperboy (NES)]

Funny!

Ha ha... I never thought of the Paperboy in that way... I suppose the little bastard probably deserved his fate. That probably would have made my gameplaying more interesting... delivering papers and fighting off gangsta thugs. Damn, that would have been cool. Nice job with the game graphics and ending picture. Simple, but overall pretty sweet.

[The death of breadman]

Poor Breadman!

You fiend! What did that innocent little bread-eater do to deserve such a cruel fate? I love it. ^_^ The death-brawl was completely unexpected, but hilarious. The killing methods are funny, the timing impeccable, and the sounds well-ripped. Good job!
.
And what the heck is this ABBA deal everyone is talking about?

[Old Fart Tales]

More great work!

Ahh... more great work by Matzerath. I have to admit, I didn't enjoy this as much as the Balthor series, but it's still pretty funny. The art is good as always, the mouths are in perfect synch, and the sound is suprisingly good for a 458 k file. It's a little short as a movie, but it's funnier that way, even if it does leave you hungering for more... homosexual sandwich.

[Finish Him!]

Decent Xiao Xiao spoof.

That was pretty cool. You kept true to the Xiao Xiao style with complex yet comedic fighting. The ending was uenxpected and funny as well. It's a little short, but it's not terribly so. It could also use some background music. It seems hollow witout it. I just want to know: how'd you get that file down to 79K? Mad compression skills, man. Keep it up.

[Karma Ghost]

That jerk deserved it.

Excellent artistic movie! You have a smooth and relaxed animation style that I really found enjoyable. Each scene is like something out of neo-modern art (whatever neo-modern means).
.
The music is nice as well, but what I liked most was the story and its message. The concept of karma ghosts signifying the guy's nasty attributes, piling up as his day went on was really quite creative. By the end, I hated the guy so much that I rather liked how they all ganged up and got revenge on the jerk. Nicely done!

[Change]

A movie worth your spare change!

That was quite nice! Thank you! Your message is quite an inspiring one - too often in life we fall into a rut and follow the same dreary routine every day of our lives. A little change is something we all could use.
.
Decent graphics and sound to convey your message. I particularly liked the smooth transition between scenes by clever zooming, blending, and fading. It makes the piece seem like one coherent, well-developed thought, and makes the message all the more profound.
.
Bravo for a piece of nicely-done serious flash animation!
