Compdude's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Angry Easter Bunny...]

Good try, but doesn't hit.

You put forth a good effort, but the humor just isn't there. Try livening up the script a bit more, maybe add some music, and some sound effects. Also, comitted one of my all time pet peeves - talking too closely into the mike and making breath noises. Try this trick: put the microphone to the SIDE of your mouth when speaking, and just the volume level accordingly. Works like a charm.

[9S Nike Flash]

He shoots, he scores!

That was suprisingly excellent! Superb animation work, and a wide variety of what I can only assume are well-caricatured friends. Nice blurring effects to simulate speed, good timing to the music, and a fair bit of humor as well. You're quite a friend to put together such a high-quality tribute to your schoolmates.

Tyler-Legrand responds:

Me? Quite a friend to my schoolmates? Uh... Well... Thanks. It's not like I got bribed or any - Uh... (Runs)

[All Krapt Out!]

How cheesy.

Decent movie. I've always liked seeing social commentary movies here on NG. There's nothing particularly funny about this movie, but it's nice to rub it a bit into the faces of the Kraft... I mean, Krapt corporation. :) I did like that cool, human-sounding voice of atomic clock. That old Bonzai voice gets really annoying after the 80th time.

[CHU CHU]

Odd but interesting.

It doesn't make a lot of sense, or have any real purpose, but as a trip through the wonders of brain-damage music videos, it's an interesting ride. Nice animation.

[Dickens Cider]

Chug that cider down.

Fairly funny sound file - It actually took three or four times before I realized the joke. The animation leaves a little to be desired, but I like Tom's lazy eye roll. I don't seem to recall seeing a movie where Penny Bain was Tom's wife before though - that's a scary thought.

[Mario Wannabe BIGGER]

Predictable but good.

Heh... I saw that coming a mile away, but it's a cute little simplistic movie.

[The Prison Bitch song]

Good song, fair animation.

The song is fairly creative and catchy, but the animation leaves something to be desired. Not in explicit content, but in the general lack of interesting scenes; half the movie consists of the same dull shuffle scene.

[Bad Inventions #4]

Sweet violence at the end.

It never got very interesting until the very end. Not much of a movie as a whole, but worth it for that final bit of carnage.

[Bad Inventions #3]

It just died on itself.

It started off promising - but entirely fizzled out by the end. I was particularly dismayed by the sudden dropoff of cartoon sounds - to be replaced by the same five or six godawful sound effects I keep hearing from Flashkit. The sounds totally didn't fit the actions, and just sucked all the joy out of the movie.

[Bad Inventions #1]

Not very funny but good sound.

It's fair work, but it's not terribly funny, and the animation is just so-so. The cartoon sounds are a nice touch, however.
