creeef23's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Red Vs Blue]

Nothing too new or interesting with very little to separate it from the literally thousands of animations of the same type. Red vs. Blue stick fighting is arguable the most cliche, overused genre on Newgrounds.

Despite its lack of originality, this is not a terrible flash. Most of the fighting was mediocre, awkward, generic, and ultimately very average looking. Movement was not particularly crisp and I would not use the word 'smooth' to describe any of the action. That said, some sequences were very well done (particularly the meteor strike).

Overall:
This is an average flash based around an overused style. The redeeming qualities are few and far between, but the good parts are enough for me to pass it.

Phantom999 responds:

Thanks man, I know it's slightly cliche, It's really because I've been practising a lot with stick figure animations, thanks for the feedback and Yeah Il'l keep at it.

[The Food Collab]

Funny

I enjoyed it. People who gave it under a 5 have no taste and no concept of the amount of work involved in making and putting together a collab.
GJ!

TheBoogley responds:

Thanks creeed12! It was time for someone to take a stand, and I'm glad it was you and not me. They scare the hell out of me... {:0

[The Anger of Animation 2]

Quite an amazingly animated film...

Unfortunately, it will never reach its full potential due to the overwhelming similarity to Animation vs. Animator. However, it was a brilliantly animated short that was clever in how you went about your destruction of the desktop. You did an amazing job on making it look real, everything from the cursor movement to the typing and sound FX, it was all brilliantly rendered to make a very entertaining flash.

However, the issue still remains, it's extremly similar to AvA. Still, it was well done, well animated, and well edited & it deserved front page and the daily feature.

KobraEditing responds:

Thank you!

[Lolcat History (Part 6/6)]

Lolcat classic.

*since i've seen 1-6, i'm going to review all of em here <_< *

~*Overall*~
After following the Lolcat series, I found the weekly-based episodes added some suspense that kept the series up and going.

Although I don't know the Lolcat history, I can tell you that the amount of originality and humor in the series made me lol irl' many times, and I really liked how well you integrated photos of pets and popular cat pictures into the flash. The episodes were short and sweet and packed with random humor and punchlines. I also found it funny how you made the lolcat's character match with the lolcat's caption found on the original pics.

~Part 1~
Great opening to the series, I especially enjoyed the cinematic opening scene and story.

~Part 2~
Not much to say, although it fell a little short. I didn't like the pauses between each character's talking and movements.

~Part 3~
Really picked up, the story really starts to develope and you gain a more detailed look at some of the characters. One of my favorites.

~Part 4~
Character development from the first 3 parts come together, this is where the story really seemed to pick up. I liked it pretty well.

~Part 5~
Absolutely, genuinely hilarious. Funniest of the series, I rofled at the Al Gore jokes and it was all very good.

~Finale~
The best of the series, obviously. It wrapped everything up, but unfortunately held very few jokes in the actual flash. The credits, however, and the ample amount of content found in the credits, made it worth while. Overall, it did what any good finale should do- leave you feeling good about the series, and a bit dissapointed that it's over.

Overall I highly enjoyed the lolcat series and deeply hope you may pick it up again someday with a Lolcat2. Looking forward to the DVD!

jiggitysmith responds:

Thanks for such an in-depth review :) I don't have too many jokes, but the Capt. Planet thing and the cookie monsters still make me laugh just due to how bizaar and amusing it is to see that.

And yes, I do plan on picking it up in the future, but for now I'm taking a break.

Oh, and basically anything you'll find on the history of the Lolcats is pure fiction (this included).

The real history was that they originated on a gigantic forum where people keep trying to outdo each other with funny and disturbing photos (usually with captions) and the wacky photos of cats started to catch on and a lot of them were created there. Then other websites like icanhascheezburger.com emerged and created small empires around this Internet meme.

[SMB 4: The Beach]

Could have been better.

If you were making a WW2 Spirite movie, use the Metal Slug guys....they look exactly like the allied soldiers who landed on the beaches of Normandy.

Although I havent seen the series, I believe you could have integrated the items drawn in flash a lot better. The objects you drew or animated in flash were a great deal lower quality then then spirites, and it lowered the overall feel of the flash.
I also didnt like how you only had a few guys on the screen at once during the landing scene...the landing scene should feel impressive and epic and sadly it fell a bit short.

Overall, it was decent and original, but it fell short in the long run. 5/10

BurntIceProductions responds:

well its not WW@ sprite movie, It A mario serie based on a war between the MK and KK (Koopa kingdom) that takes place in a time where both sides have 1940 themed technology. And Just cus its storiming a Beach doesnt mean its a WW2 movie Storming Beaches is a type of battle and D-day was not the only one(Tho it was very important), And the loading screen is sumthing i put just so ppl wont say i was mocking Dday (i guess that sorta backfired on me tho)

[TMNT intro]

WONDERFULL! GAY! GREAT! SHIT!

I would rather fuck a porcupine while shoving a cactus up my ass then watch this awful piece of dog shit again. I would rather drown in gasoline, while listening to my only infant child choking on his vomit. I'd rather watch shit oozing out of a buffalo's anus while covered in steaming donkey shit then play this abomonation of man-kind on my screen again.

Kow-abunga. KOW-A-FUCKING PIECE OF DOG SHIT.

just2pale responds:

Tell me how you really feel.

[Shame by the Slice 2]

Great animation!

The movements of the character's Eyes, Lips, Mount, and overall body parts was very fluid and smooth. One thing that really irritates me is how it froze halfway through....but...anyways, it was funny, looking forward to #3!

BaconMask responds:

It did? Hmmm... I'll check into that. Thanks!

[Shame by the Slice]

Excellent!

I can tell you put a lot of detail into the backgrounds and the characters. I was amazed at how well the characters sprung to life. The facial motions of the mouth, ears, eyes, ect. were all done very well.

The only downside is the tall white guy you see at the beginning with the big nose, could have been designed better. His apearance was clunky and it made him seem more artificial than the others.

As far as animation, it was all generally smooth and added to the sictom-style humor. The fact that it's based on reality makes it even funnier. I'm looking forward to the next part of a soon-2-B awsome series!

keep it up!

BaconMask responds:

It's funny that you mention Derek's appearance. That is the only character directly modeled off of a real person! He looks a LOT like his character there... but maybe I'll revise him a shade for the sequel. Glad you enjoyed, thanks for the review!

[Pico Idol]

I'm a huge fan of american Idol, but...

Sadly, I was hoping for something a little bit better than this. It's a very original topic and I think that although the idea was good, it could have been performed a lot better.

Not saying it's bad, but the low sound volume and kind of -meh- animation is the reason for the 8. I only watched it to the second contestant before I got bored and shut it off. Maybe the judges talked later in the animation, but what I saw, the responses were fairly boring.

Overall, the main issue with this is the lack of piz-azz. It was quite boring but I did chuckle a few times. The thing about american idol that I love is the wise-cracking judges and humor. Sadly this had neither.

ALSO-another nit-bit; I think this was more like Hollywood week in the since of the stage and background....but because the singers sucked, I would have liked a more audition-like background....meh,
my opinion.

GOOD luck with your next flashes and I will look forward to more from you. Sorry if I ranted.

Rudy responds:

It's alright. Thanks for your review. You should watch the animation fully, it's rather long but I like the ending. :) I'm glad you did chuckle a few times though.
