Compdude's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Super Console Wars Part 1]

Best Star Wars parody ever.

Amazing. Simply amazing. From the thoughtful "preloader entertainment" at the beginning to the very end, this is chock-full of pure joy. Describing that joy would take forever. But succinctly: it's full of clever little bits of humor, such as 3PO's ever-changing chipset, and the MacOS/Windows bit. Then it's got all those clever character and item pardoies, among my favorite being all the different console adaptations, and genius Mario/Luigi as Vader/Luke. I think Peach should have been Leia though, just to close the circle. :-) Then there's all those authentic sounds and music bits, spanning the gamut from Atari to Nintendo 64. I love R2D2's Atari-ish beeps. The length is fantastic - how long is that anyway? And, of course, the 3D graphics, character drawing, animation, expressions, mouth movement, and coloring is all extrememly well done. The only real downfall is that the voices are a bit flat and uninteresting. Maybe hire some other voice actors? Other than that, I'd say this easily deserves to dominate over Atomfilms' SW competition, and deserves a rightful spot among Newgrounds best. Bravo!

[Outside-Pepsi]

Always coca-cola.

Okay work - an interesting (and funny?) look at a clock's depression. It runs a bit long, the graphics are bland, and it could use the classic monotone clock voices, though. But I'm not sure whether to think of this as humor or serious work, though. Just how serious are you about this movie's content?

[Zero Wing: Definity Pt. 1]

Good movie, but needs sound!

Compelling style, intruiging plot, great cinematography, and music choice. The story IS confusing, but its vagueness makes you greatly anticipate the sequel. You have a great style for movie making. The major downside, as you know, and it IS a big detraction, is the overall lack of sound effects or voices. Text speech irks me, and in this movie it's partiuclarly painful during the parts with no music. Ask people you know, online or off, just to lend their help with a few voices. Even bad voice acting would help this movie greatly. Other than that, nicely done!

[Newgrounds Logo ep.06]

Stupid popups.

Too true, too true. I like the NG Tank series, and I agree that the popups are invasive, but I also think the theme has already been beaten into the ground, and this is just adding to the pile. You might want to check the movie resolution - it fills up the entire screen right now.

[Mikey's Comeback!]

Mikey the pimp!

Not bad! Very upbeat and humorous, what with all the different faces and situations. Nice and long, and a clever way to end it. The graphics were the real downside, though. Other than that, nice job.

[Pointless, Yet Satisfying]

Well done.

Once again, very similar work to Ryan Khatam, and while it may not quite reach his level of animation or style, this is still - dammit, you beat me to it - pointless yet satisfying work.

[Shii's Song]

So Kawaiii!

What a sweet movie! Yes, the sugar-factor is off the chart, but I loved it all the same. It had a very nice, very innocent Japanesey-feel, wonderful animation, and a melodic and emotion-filled song. You just wanna adopt that sweet 'lil kitten! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[A Goat Eats Himself]

Funny stuff.

Good for a laugh. Short, but funny idea and good animation. The window should be a bit larger, though.

[Sunrise and Mischief]

Damn meteors can't leave well enough alone.

Neat artistic work! Very good use of color, light, music, and animation to create a fluid, if not slightly confusing, movie.

[Pico's Hair Piece Part2]

Getting better.

Better than the first! Good choice to include your own voices, and the atmosphere is appropriately evil. You might want to work more on a plot though, and make it a little longer, like we discussed. Keep at it!
