Compdude's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[SMB: Deleted Scenes No. 1]

Love the voicework!

A couple clever ideas with damn catchy remixed Super Mario music - but the real joy here is the greatly imitated, sadly underplayed, Mario voicework. But why the easter egg (see last review)?

TheShrike responds:

Thanks.

[Bush teachs Osama to walk]

Good idea, but poor presentation.

It's never too late for Osama-bashing. :) While it was a good idea to combine your idea and this sound file, the animation and variety quickly deteriorates into a bunch of rotating fools that drags on far too long. Some more variety was needed. The end choice is a good idea, but seems rather cold compared to the jovial tone of the music.
.
I am curious, what musical/movie is that song from?

ShyGuyClock responds:

The song is from the Santa Claus TV Special which tells the history of Santa Claus. Ya know, those crappy stop-motion animation movies?

[Gartoons - SBC Packers]

Your amount of effort wasn't much.

Fairly humorous comedy sketch, but all you've done is stick subpar animation on top of someone else's creative property.

vdj-microbe responds:

Well, I did tell Rex that I used his comedy sketch. I admit, I didn't really put too much effort into it. But hey, I got a free SBC shirt for it. :D

[Charakter Episode 3 of 4]

Same sort of problems as the first.

First off, shouldn't this be listed as part 2, and not 3? A little bit better than the first, but still suffers from the same poor dialouge and unoriginality.

MasakoXtreme responds:

Well, there was a part 2, but it got blammed.

[StarTrekLove]

Old clip, new movie.

It's an old but hilarious sound file that has been overused. But you do a decent rendition with detailed drawings and suprising length 9pun intended). The animation is pure tweening with exception for the neat ship bit, which is kinda bland but understandable.
.
Some irritating things: there's no preloader, it's not finished, and the file size is quite large. You have a tendency to stick graphics on top of a large sound file, and the load time combined with no preloader makes viewing irritating.
.
That aside, I hope to see a final product!

Pweeb responds:

Yup not finished yet. You are correct.
Thanks for the vote.

[Iggys Adventure]

Not my style.

Well, in the random stylings of Good Times, this is quite well-done. But it's still pretty stupid...

Kitmouse responds:

I agree! :)

[Link, He Come To Town]

Overdone.

That song has been tragically overused, and this is not an interesting movie based around it. One other thing - this song is by Rabbit Joint, not System of a Down. An irritating mislabeling that has most people confused.

dandandan4 responds:

OVERUSED LIKE YOU AND THE LETTTER O.

[Quadradic Formula = Fun!]

Fun to the second degree.

That had little to nothing to do with algebra, but it makes a decent fanimutation movie with a mathmatical meaning behind it. You might even say it was... formulaic?

Phantasmagoria-crow responds:

MAUHAUAHA! You crack me up! Formulaic! OH MAN! THIS GUY IS FUNNY! MAUHAUHAHA! Oh wait... no ... wait... that made me sad... Glad you thought it was fun.

[How to Fusion dance (DBZ)]

Fuuuuu sion!

Not too bad. Good stick figure animation and DBZ sounds, with a neat Gojiita at the end. I noticed you used the fat fusion sound at the end - funny little twist.

Psykloak1 responds:

Ah. Yes I did use the Fat fusion, it had the best qualety, good ears. Also, if you or any one else can read Japanese, the thing that Gogetta says at the end dosent translate exactly into "Go to Neptune Circle". I'll let you guys translate it. (I used altavista's translator so it may not translate correctly...) ^_^

[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 .
