Slickernaut's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zelda Song]

This is really old...

First, the music isn't by System of a Down.

Now.. This song is so old, I think I first heard it like two years ago. It's not really great and or amazing anymore. The video you have produced here is nothing spectacular, just a bunch of stiff drawings on notepad.

Oh, and what's the deal with people making music videos for copyright material? Tom's even putting most of them up on the front page..

[Decline of Video Gaming 2]

No.

Alright, I'll hand it to you in the graphics department.. You guys did a great job making this look good, and it's obvious that a lot of time went into making it.

However, your blatant overuse of copyright commercial music is maddening. I can usually put up with one or two, but you guys just jam packed your little show to the brim with music from the likes of Rammstein, Kung Pow, various video game titles, and then that Maroon whatever group in the end titles. I sincerely hope you do not seek further distribution past Newgrounds.

Content wise, this cartoon centers around a group of rather unfunny individuals I assume take on the appearance and persona of the real life authors. I was expecting more of what I liked in the first one, but this one was trying to combine aspects of Tomorrow's Nobodies with itself. It just wasn't funny.. Parts drug on for way too long, like the ads in loading screens on Resident Evil. Oh, and stereotyping Jananese people this much also isn't cool.

[Magical Trevor]

Please..

Just like every other mindless looping musical bit made by this fella.. Pretty boring. I think the badger one was enough.

[Unforseen : Ep.1 Part 2]

Sorry, this was really, really bad.

This cartoon was highlighted in blue, meaning that it has garnered a decent score. I don't understand how that is, because I found this movie to be rather bad.

The graphics are poor, the backgrounds are quite dull.. And when there is text on the screen, especially at the end, it goes by way too fast, and I am unable to read it. The voices are also bad, but not as bad as the grammar itself.. I felt reminded of phrases such as "someone set us up the bomb" everytime the "target" spoke.

Try harder, I'm sure you could make something really cool.

[Salad Fingers Episode 4]

Fantastic.

A recovery, in my opinion, from episodes 2 and 3. I still don't believe that this series should keep going on without a point as it is.

I think I'm done with Salad Fingers, though. I liked Burnt Face Man, why doesn't Mr. Firth try his hand at something new again? I'd love to see more diversity in your work!

["Waterman" Ep. VI]

A huge, HUGE drop from Episode V.

I didn't laugh/smile one time while watching this cartoon. I could relate to "Watergent".. Falling asleep, dreaming of doing something better. I sincerely feel tired and angry that time has been lost watching this.

The graphics were great, but the sound seemed as though it were recorded through one of those crap microphones you get for free.

How could this be so bad after number five was oh so good? I mean, I appreciate the time and effort put into making this, but it was not amusing to me at all..

[Rise of the MK:Part 3]

An awesome series, that should have ended already

I can recall viewing the first two installments almost a year ago.. I loved them. They were great, Randy's best works yet.

I was pretty sure that they had ended though. I mean, the ending to part II wasn't exactly a cliffhanger ending, as much as it was a "whoops, you just messed up" kind of silly ending. I'm not sure I want to watch this series over again from a new perspective.. I would at least like to have had this particular installment be a bit longer.

Don't get me wrong, this is a fine piece of flash.. But hardly deserving of the number 1 spot is has already attained in the one day it has been on Newgrounds.

[Salad Fingers Episode 3]

Starting to fizzle out...

I loved the first Salad Fingers. I hadn't seen anything like it on Newgrounds. It was strange, yet humorous. Then a second one came out, and I was excited to see it. I was let down, as I realized I loved the first one so much more.

Now we have this... I must say, I believe that the Salad Fingers series is going in the wrong direction.. At least, I don't feel that the impression I got with the first one is being translated into the new ones. Perhaps it is one series that should have stayed with one episode..

The author does have much talent, though. I would love to see a new series originate from him..

[Dragon Ball Z -Is That OK]

I don't get it...

I don't understand why this is a featured animation on the front page to begin with. This is just a bunch of tracings and arranged sound clips that ends up making no sense.

Would have rated higher if the content was original, even if it were original voices.

[Twisted Nursery Rhymes]

Good work.

I was impressed with this. There are a few points missed that keep it from getting a high score, though.

For about the first minute or so, all the art is drawn.. Quite well, I might add. But then when they go into the nursery rhyme world, everything is a kind of pixelated photography.. Also, some voices would have been nice. I mean, a piece like this doesn't require voices at all, it stands well without them.. But adding voices to your cartoons is always a nice touch that I think people like.
