reality-monkey's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[the Last of the Dashkin]

Great stuff.

The story was very overt...you left nothing for the viewer to think about that you didn't blatantly want them to think about.

And personally, I liked your work without the narration, that seemed to ruin it a bit for me...even if it was replaced with some stylized text that would have been better in my opinion.

I really look forward to the conclusion.

[//Necropolis Xenophobe]

Great, but a few drawbacks I think.

First, I don't remember anything in the bible that says anything about sorcery (not that I'm particularly adept at remembering bible bits, but that probably would have stood out to me). Second, that world has no government, a company creates MAGIC, and PROTESTERS are still a threat? Even without magic, they should have guns or something to protect themselves, so they don't get taken out by just some chick. I mean, the white guy goes far enough to make a code with his wife, but doesn't think to get a gun, or any sort of security for him and his wife?

Also, the lead enemy girl was dragging her by her hair in public. Lawless or not, some people have morals, and would stop that, that really isn't something that just happens. I see kidnapping, but dragging someone kicking and screaming down a street? Especially when the people are apparently religious buffs, wouldn't they have a stronger moral fiber? The stepbrother thing was really unnecessary, you made it sound like that was a hidden weapon, it could have been replaced with "She don't know, he's got the largest arsenal or nuclear arms on the planet". And he fired on a crowd of people, does he really need to have the stepbrother thing to push him to probably disregarding human life?

The art was very nice, the animation flowed very well, the girl however sounded like she was in a cave or a loudspeaker or something. And why does everyone have a scar on their face? What do they all belong to a gang where in order to get in, you have to cut your face? Did that replace baggy pants as a sign of badassness? Was there an eye cutting competition and half of the whole area wanted to fight? That was really stupid.

And why could that girl jump like that? Magical guy, makes sense, could have some kind of body augmentations, but that girl during the fight, jumped like Spingheeled Jack all over the place, and she was against the magic. What happened to the white guy's wife during the fight? She run? Hide? That's sort of important because she was actually fighting in the fight, she had impact, she could have stopped the syringe or something, so for her to just vanish is poor writing. And why didn't he just magic-grab the enemy and toss her over the edge? The area was open enough for the cab to just come on in, and it didn't look like a short fall.

And the magic looked like old time alchemy mixed with the witches "bubble bubble toil and trouble." It would have been nice to explain further how the magic was discovered, and why we couldn't discover it earlier. Maybe that would explain why it's so immoral.

You created a lawless world, and you deal with none of the consequences. There are no slaughterers just going over people in cars, there are no gangs, to supreme vandalism like there would be with lawlessness, and no weapons or means of defense against those things. And if it isn't lawless, then it would have to have a government, and would have to work in a fashion that wouldn't allow murdering corporate leaders and dragging people across town by their hair, and firing in crowds of people.

And if you did come up with a system of shadow government, you should explain that, and how it works to prevent hell but still allow the things that are going on.

Screaming was obnoxious, sometimes the voice acting seemed really fake, removed me from the story, you need an actual recording room or something of high quality to record better voices.

I liked it, 8 outta 10 as far as flash goes, but it's not perfect, barely even close.

[GhostFight-BOS-Part1]

it was great special effects

but i didnt like the control scheme, cause i dont even think it worked...it seemed to randomly set me too close or too far to see anything between the scenes, the arrows worked, but the whole control thingy didnt work too good... great flash, i just think that the "control the camera" thing would have worked better if there was a default that didnt move, so you could see the movie the way it was intended...

[Kingdom Hearts Anime pt2]

hmm...

directly from the comic...nice...although i think the whole thing goes forward a bit too fast...

[Reiko - S'no Fair]

its pretty awful...

ive never heard of this character before, but its kinda obvious that you dont need to really do any research to know what was going on...but the animation was awful...it was drawn nice (the characters anyway) but you couldnt animate for crap...the humor was mildly good...the audio was recorded badly, as well as extremely fake, and poorly voiced...the sound effects were weird... all in all it made a pretty bad movie...

[Cosby VS Pikachu]

oh man

i expected it to be something to just give me blam points but that was funny...all the sound effects and stuff...your right the production was a lil crappy, but i dunno i think that made it funnier

[Super-Luis's Newgrounds]

pretty good

but it was a lil unoriginal with the hand faces (though i liked the angry one) and you had some stiff competition with this...it was a lil fast, but its ok...it was pretty good though, i like it

[X-MAS Mario VS Mouser]

did you use ms paint?

because...thats a kinda stupid idea...seeing as how you needed flash to make the movie, why not use flash to animate it?

Steel-the-hedgehog responds:

oh darn! you are more and more brainless.
because! it's an animation style! it's an ANIMATION!!
and YES i animated it in flash, want to know the meaning of animation? "A simulation of movement created by displaying a series of pictures, or frames" I must draw it in flash??? that's what you think?.
Why don't you do something more smoother than this? ok go do some stick figure animation like the rest! and darn, is that an animation??

[danomano's New Grounds]

yet another

if this keeps up i am jumping on this bandwagon FAST!!!

btw i love your voice, its got this comedic inside on it....its ranked up with master cheifs on the "voices i would like to have" list... btw, im a fan of your art, animation not as much as your art, but i still like it...

webcam, check, comes with mic, flash, flash ability, lotsa time....ya....ya i think ill see if wanna do this
