Compdude's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crow Clock Shorts #03]

Worth taking notes.

I might not agree with all your points, but the movie is well-recieved and very clever. You keep up a mean pace in your movies, and you sustain it well.

"I might not agree with all your points"

That's part of the joke. Come on, I kow you get it, CompDude. Watch it again.

[ZELDA: 1986 Rap]

NES represent.

That fantastic song vastly overshadows your movie contribution, which is not much more than a bunch of ripped images and some quick animation bits. Worth the watch, but just for the song.

Account-Dead-SNP responds:

Thanks for the criticism, I promise my next flash video will be fully animated with more improved drawing skills from this one. Unfortunitly when it comes to audio bits, I will probably have to use something else, since I don't have a microphone, even if I did I'm not confident in my voice acting ability and I'm not even mediocre when it comes to music composing.

The only thing I'm happy with this is that I didn't use sprites. It's pretty easy to use video game sprites, and editting them involves less effort than drawing from scratch. Well I started drawing from scratch for this flash video, now I just have to improve upon it.

[16-Bit VS 8-Bit]

Witty bit humor.

Not too bad. It has the zany crossovers and homosexual jokes that are standard to the genre, and it's fairly entertaining. I think it's probably a bit too long for its own good, and some parts are lame, but it's a neat story.

DuckyofAlarcon responds:

There was really only one homosexual joke. The Bill Rizer and Simon Cowell joke. But your review makes it sound like there was more gayness in it. Original I had Cher in the picture but it was'nt quite random enough. LOL. Thanks for the review. Next time please specify which parts you did't like so I can tell how to improve it.

[John's Arm 3]

Super members.

Your great humor abounds in this episode, with a wonderful ending kicker. The voice sampling rate (the quality, not the voices themselves) does leave a lot to be desired however. Hilarious episode, well-worth the watch.

mikethepod responds:

Thank you! Yeah, the sound thing has been brought up in the past... the bottom line is that I'll often sacrifice good sound quality to keep the file size low. (As low as I can, anyway.)

[Flash-Watching Tips]

I might be breaking that last rule...

It's rather stupid and sloppily made, but the sketch style is interesting. The points are well taken, and there's some bits of humor in there as well. The only real annoyance is that the word "liable" is used too much. Keep up the good work.

Tomorrows-Nobody responds:

Yeah it is used too much.. noticed that afterwards.. Thats what happens when you just wing it and redo stuff, take this and that....
