Compdude's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Behind the Hero: Mario]

Some good ideas, bad implementation.

Some funny ideas in there, but they didn't come out funny in the movie. Still, I like the concept of VG character bashing.

[PPG Celebrity Jeopardy 3]

Superb!

Amazing! Like a complete three-stage metamorphosis, your PPG Celebrity Jeopardy went from crap, to cool, to great! I simply love your character protrayals, especially the ever-impressive CCook as a Jerry Lewis persona. And THANKFULLY, your script work increased by leaps and bounds, giving me gut belly laughs at quite a few points. Quite frankly, the dancing Blossoms during final Jeopardy music cracked me up. And great bit at the end with the dancing! A splendid tribute to three hardcore PPG fans. Let me know if you ever make another!

[PPG Celebrity Jeopardy]

Good effort, bad output.

Cute effort, but not altogether great. You spoke too closely into the mike, obviously did all three voices (but Mojo sounded neat), did too much heavy lifting directly from SNL, and ended too abruptly. But you mentioned most of that already. I hope the next ones will be a bit better.

[PpG Eternal Darkness]

Getting better.

I'm afraid I've never played Eternal Darkness, but this is definetly a step up from Stickman vs. Buttercup. :b Richer colors, good sound clip, and mildly surrealistic feel. You might want to give a way to cycle through all three endings without having to view them randomly.

[Stickman vs. Buttercup]

Pretty crummy

I love your writing Parsec, but your animation leaves much to be desired. Too short, too static, too uninteresting. But keep writing, please! :)

[The Crusader]

Average story, but GREAT music!

Interesting stick DBZ meets Star Wars elements. The animation/story is just average, but the real star here is your original score. Intruiging and enjoyable work - feels like Zelda meets Star Wars. I like it!

DaDocta responds:

Hey thanks alot for the compliments.. the Animation in the second one is much better than this.. think of this one more as the pilot episode.. where I learn how to animate all this crap lol .

[Tales of the Scarecrow]

This scarecrow has a brain.

Impressive! Superb 3D flash skills, with excelent voice and sound effects to boot, right down to the crip sound of hay and the creaking of floorboards. It feels very cinematic with its choice of camera angles, ambient music, and genuinely spooky feel. Superior work!

[Paper Wars]

Clever and creative.

Very creative work! Excellent animation and coloring/shading skills, especially at the very beginning and end when you portray the drawer. I was particularly impressed by your clever interactivity between drawer and the characters. However, the odd silences between action scenes, and the movie in general, could be suplemented with light music in my opinion.

[BEEBO Part 4]

Very cool

Hey man, more great Beebo work. You know just how to work wierd celebrity references and sick style humor to great ends. Love the quick-fire life sins - worth watching a second time to try and read them all!

[Baga Run]

Penguins are awesome.

Plot here is unimportant. What you have is simply a well-coreographed action scene between nameless flightless birds, with superb anime animation, at a whimsically rapid pace. And that's fine with me.
