cheshirepus's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Portal of the Damned]

This is what Newgrounds is all about!

Awesome tribute to NG artists, the site, Halloween, and probably a few other things I'll remember later.
As can be counted on, Luis syncs the music with the action flawlessley. The whole thing looks professional, great results with the artist cameos; I know it's not something everyone has the privilege of doing, but it really adds a great element to this movie that screams out Newgrounds. OMG Madness Zombies was a literal "lol" moment. Bad ass seeing Krinkels in there!
Your animation is great. Character movements, shadows, weight... it would be hard to match for anybody, making the whole thing extremely easy to watch.
Great job on everything... those graphics, 'specially the graveyard stuff was really outstanding, heh.
As always, it's a privilege working with you.

Ahem!!!

I think I've seen another entry on the Portal like this... In fact, some of the scenes in this are so stikingly similar to those found in the movie I'm talking about, that I'd find it hard to believe that there wasn't some sort of credit due.
Anyway, I thought this was pretty decent (even though I feel my toes were stepped on!).
The tweens were pretty smooth, and the music was nice. I also liked the black and white style. Nice, but my toes still hurt :)

I can really appreciate your attempt.

Trust me, if there's anyone here on the Portal who can appreciate what you were trying to do here, it would be me.
I have to say that I was expecting something of rather poor quality, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that you decided to take your time with a little bit of frame by frame animation. I was also pleased that you decided to take an original approach by following your own storyline, too. I know how hard it can be to do something like this, and this was a decent attempt at a classic. Keep practicing, and make more if this is your style. God knows, someone needs to bring back the classic animation style.
Good job!

Brent.

"trust me", um! thx for the bullshit. since there are several reviewers that gave this submission a 10 I think there are ALOT who appreciate my "attempt" more than u, stupid san digupmypoop boy.

[Small, Medium, Large]

This was great!

My god, I had the same exact rant no more than a week ago at the Starbucks at the mall when a friend and I went out for a cup of coffee. They asked me if I wanted a f'n tall, grande, or venti, which I then replied "Why don't you give me a LARGE, huh?"
Or, how about when you're at the movie theatre and you ask for a small drink and they tell you that they don't have small? Instead, they have medium, large, and jumbo! Just give me the fucking medium then!
I like Foamy, my friend... Keep it up. I can really relate to Foamy and his rants. Thank you.

[DOA, trailer 1]

It was okay.

But you do realize that there was virtually no animation in this what-so-ever, with the exception of the text and some marginal motion tweens. Still, I thought it was okay. Your sound was done well, and the drawings weren't too bad at all.
I don't care too much for 'trailers' myself, but with that aside, it's okay.

[The Problem with Mimics]

Though it smelled a little like 8 Bit Theater,

It was original enough for me to like. It was short as hell (as I'm sure you already know), but it got the point across none the less. I thought it was pretty funny as I've had my own trouble with Mimes in FFT. Sound was good, Animation was fine, and your drawings were smooth. Overall, I give this a solid satisfactory score.
I like it!

[Konstantin]

I thought this was really good.

The only real complaint I have about it is that it ends way too abruptly. With such a large file size and quality animation, I was expecting a lot more in your story. Still, you executed it beautifully, and your backgrounds were excellent. Good job!

AngryAxel responds:

Hmm yeah, maybe you're right, do you have any suggestions on another ending?

[The World]

I suppose you were trying to piss people off?

For the animation/Flash value in this:
There's nothing too special about it other than the fact that you discovered how to import .jpeg's into your library. The animation at the beginning was terrible, though and you get a low score for sound because you failed to compress it properly. Overall, this was a bad attempt at Flash since it lacked so many of the defining qualities that make a decent movie.
As for whatever message you were trying to convey:
If I were to ever meet you in person, I'd kick your ass. Still, I've gotta' respect your right to Free Speech... One of the many terrible things you get to enjoy in such a bad country, isn't it?

[Saddam's Gift]

The idea's old, but you executed it well enough.

Like I said, I think everyone here is kind of tired of these Saddam-type movies where he (and other people we all wish would die) gets killed. Still, you didn't animate it like a retarded two year old, so I can't complain too much about this... It's just a tired idea is all. Plus, I think the fact that we caught Saddam yesterday kind of ruins it even more, don't you think?

[Meditation!]

Yeah, that definately looked like JoeCartoon.

I would have given you a lot more for style if I thought it was your own, too. Still, it was good enough to make me laugh, and the animation was fine, so I give you a passing score for that.
Also, try to make your next movie with a better ending... That just kind of fell apart there.
