Compdude's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[First to Find You: Previe]

Good start; a ways to go.

On the plus side, it's a neat (if often done) idea. Space theme movies are sadly underrepresented on Newgrounds.
.
On the flip side, there's nothing terribly compelling about your story as of yet. Crew leaves space and finds nothing. It also suffers severely from lack of space sounds (yes, albiet the fact that sound doesn't travel in a vaccum - BG music would at least have been appreciated). And it's obviously unfinished.
.
It's a neat idea - I would like to see the finished version. It just has some work to go.

AkhkharuZI responds:

Hey, thanx for the encouragement, I really don't know exactly why I posted that so early, other than to work up the desire to finish the first episode ;)

There will be background music, as well as voice acting for the characters (of which there are several) but unfortunately, I haven't finished turning the hand-drawn anime into Flash Animation yet.

And don't worry, in the actual episode, there won't be the long space sequences, or long blots of text. Expect the episode in a month or two.

[I wont be Home for Xmas]

Very unmerry Christmas.

Neat! A funny movie that's well-adapted to the song. I was wary of its stick-figure characters at first, but it's really quite fun to watch.

[Captain Lou]

Animutation done right.

Suprisingly good! There's plenty of BAD animutation, but this is really fun and interesting to watch. It's fast-paced, diverse, and funny. Good work.

[Princess Lovely]

Very odd.

It's a little odd, content-wise, and a bit too brief, but it's mildly interesting.

[Seinfeld: The Pineapple]

For what purpose?

Yes but... why? It's kinda cute in its own right, but it seems to lack direction like Gonk himself.

[SMB: Deleted Scenes No. 2]

Your review is in another portal.

More zany Mario work, but I'm disappointed that the Mario voice gets only one line - I consider that the series best point.

TheShrike responds:

Thanks. I guess I should expand the series, huh?

[SMB: Deleted Scenes No. 1]

Love the voicework!

A couple clever ideas with damn catchy remixed Super Mario music - but the real joy here is the greatly imitated, sadly underplayed, Mario voicework. But why the easter egg (see last review)?

TheShrike responds:

Thanks.

[Killing Toad]

Toad is a Fun Guy.

A little VG friend abuse that yields humorous results. It never made me laugh, but it at least made me smile.

[BIGGEST TOPIC EVER]

Biggest and Best.

Beautiful. Or, at least it would be if my ugly mug wasn't in it. :) A worthy tribute to NG's Biggest Topic, especially since now it seems like the thread is closed forever... it was fun making ¥ while it lasted!

[Inside the Studio]

Good idea but moves too slowly.

Clever idea, even though it drags on at parts. The two movie parodies are inventive, but also suffer from poor pacing. And that doesn't look much like Tom. On the whole though, it's decent work.
