Compdude's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[interminable]

Decent work.

Decent animation, and a neat bit of action here and there, but overall the humor is a bit cheesy.

AngryAxel responds:

Yeah, I know, didn't work so hard on the humor part, focused more on the drawing- and the soundpart...

[Newgrounds Museum]

Great work in the wrong place.

A grand variety of wonderful artistry featuring a wide variety of characters in great dynamic poses. Basically, really great artwork, and a lot of information as well.
.
That having been said, I really don't feel that Flash is the best medium for this. With all the artwok and text info, your work would be better suited to a webpage or part of NG where people could go to view the pictures, d/l them, and read the text in a less restricting window size. The menu here just doesn't make browsing very convenient.
.
Nevertheless, great job, and hope to see more from you in the future!

poxpower responds:

Yeah, well, the reasons are:
To big= Too big filesize. I also found that it's hard to read when there's a lot of text.
I've not asked, but I'm pretty sure Tom woulnd't let me do a whole Museum part to NG, although that would be worth considereing!
The images are all done with Photoshop ans Flash is basically just there to navigate in between the images.
The reason why I didn't do a website YET is because, Is because all the stuff in there belongs only to Ng, and anywhere else, people wouln't understand, but I considered doing a Website, and might do one, now that...
This movie was also meant to put yours truly on the map. Now, more people know me and I'd get more traffic from a website.
Well, in conclusion, I should do a website with this movie, or suggest a new section to Tom, namely the Fan art section, which I though this movie could help create. But yeah, I was a bit pissed that I had to compress all my pic like that.... sight...
If there ever is a NG Fanart Section, you can bet I'll be submitting stuff often, but never one small thing at a time! Always bug projects!

[The Legend Of Zelda Ep. 1]

Fairy good episode.

It's made with a lot of love and effort, has some funny moments, and I love the character design. Yet the movie also suffers from an awful Gannon voice, goofy animation, and some odd use of music loops. Overall I enjoyed it - I'm such a geek that I noticed you used the Song of Storms as the warp song.

grunty444 responds:

wellllllll...excuuuuuuuuuuuse me princess.-Quote from The Legend Of Zelda Show. Thanks for the review :)

[Accidental Summon]

Could be better in a lot of ways.

I don't approve of satanic material to begin with, but that aside, the pacing is real longwinded. I commend you for effort, but ask you to pursue other genres.

scapegoat-452 responds:

FAAAAaaaack you. Hows about making a decent animation before criticising others hmm?

[the mailman ep: 1]

Slick stick schitck.

Whoa - that just blew me away! You're right - you've been at this movie for some time, and the quality goes from good to great. Hard-hitting and mysterious plot, great music choice, and best of all, really sweet stickdeath. Keep it up man - I earnestly want to see the continuation of this!

natch responds:

Thanks man, my 4 previous flash entries have been put to rest, glad you apreciate the work, will try and knock out another one in between classes.

[The Lost Lemns Ads]

Juicy ads.

Fun styled ads that convinced me to visit the site briefly, though the humor is a bit geeky. Reminds me a bit of the NG shorts they had running on the site a while back - they archived them, but now I can't seem to find them anymore. Oh well. Rambling aside, nicely done.

majeo responds:

Thank you, sir. While your life will be spared, the 'geeky' comment will result in your induction into lifelong slavery, and the processing of your family into parakeet feed.

[Green Day - Minority]

Minority Report.

I think you took the lyrics a bit too literally at some points, and it gets a bit too random and senseless, but it's zany fun and I do enjoy that song.

Dan545 responds:

Zany fun, almost like a barrel of greased up, shaven monkeys. They''d have to be wearing suspenders, also.

[BLOBZ!!!]

Different style, a bit unfocused.

The animation style was okay, but I felt the random morphing of objects was a bit too unfocused. I appreciate the variety, but don't knock sticks - each animation form can and has been put to excellent use on this website.

adam-p89 responds:

I'm not knocking sticks, just saying that I'd like to see something different, instead of sticks every day, well thanks for watching!

[8-Bit Theater Comic]

Not a bad first movie.

You know, it's a decent effort and it feels a lot like 8-bit theater, but I think it's unfairly overshadowed by the similar outing that remains among the top-ten. This has room to improve, but it stands on its own.

nonnef responds:

0_0 It's on a top ten table?
Or you mean it should be?
Sorry, not enough sleep today. ^_^

[Tribute to a Blammer]

You dirty rat.

That put a smile on my face. You did a great job of demeaning your target, and ending it rather nicely. This is worthy of the NG Parody page.

Leoneski responds:

Thank you for the complement, your review means a lot.
