Slickernaut's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Star Wars Gangsta Rap: SE]

Well..

Of course, everyone sings great praise of this. And it deserves it. Very well done. You can tell a lot of time and effort was put into this.

But for those of us who remember, it is old. And in some ways, I prefer the old version to this. I can remember the laughter, and wanting to show my friends the old version. Now it's been several years. I watch this now just to see it, not to laugh. It's not funny anymore.. It's too stylized. Too "MTV cool".

I also don't like how Newgrounds just isn't good enough to see the "full, extended version" of this cartoon. What's that about? Credibility on Atomfilms is more important than Newgrounds? Whatever, guys. I for one won't bother.

pyropymp responds:

No, not credibility on atomfilms, it's because atomfilms actually PAY US, unlike with newgrounds. I've said that in the intro already. We gotta make ends meet too you know.

[Rusty's Story]

Decent, but...

Overall it was just flat. The one drawing of the redneck was pretty good.. The lip synching was well done, as was the voice. It was just kind of boring.

I also don't understand how this was over 1mb.. I've watched animations with dozens of characters, backgrounds and voices before under 1mb. I mean, it doesn't matter to most of us because no one uses 56k anymore, but still..

I would like to see more from you in the future, I believe you have potential.. Just add more stuff.. Good job.

roktek responds:

I'm not exaclty sure why that was 1meg. I went through all the steps of vocal optimization. I do have minimal flash knowledge, so there may be some steps i overlooked to reduce size. Thanks for the positive imput tho :)

[Brunch Of The Dead Ep.5]

Well done.

While not as clever as some of the earlier ones, this is a nice finish to the series.. In regards to this particular episode specifically, the art was well done, the voice work was superb, and the writing/humor was very creative.

I wish you well in your future endeavors in flash animation. You are a talented individual, and I hope you continue to create things for us to enjoy. Thank you.

Riotcomix-2006 responds:

That was a great review you left behind, and thank you for that. Very motivating and sincere.

[Brunch Of The Dead Ep.4]

That was hilarious!

I enjoyed this piece very much.. The graphics are well drawn, the sound is alright.. Although it is hard to hear what is being said sometimes.

The humor was the best part.. I haven't seen something on Newgrounds that made me smile in quite some time. Usually the humor in flash movies today is based around themes involving inside jokes and personal referenes.. I'll be honest when I say I don't give a hoot what authors think about the current state of affairs. So what, you can draw a cat/squirrel and bitch about everything.

Nice job on the film. Big plus for choosing zombies. People haven't seen the potential of zombie films until 28 Days Later (unfortunately) was released. I'm a zombie man for life, and I appreciate it when I see quality zombie flash. Thank you.

Riotcomix-2006 responds:

Thank you very much for reviewing. I enjoyed reading what you had to say. That's cool that you're a big zombie fan and you appreciate fun movies like mine. Thank you once again.

[StarWarsGangstaRap:TEASER]

BentTV's bastardization continues...

Please, BentTV, stop damaging these classic flash films we have come to cherish.

pyropymp responds:

Hey, the Star Wars Gangsta Rap was BentTV's work too! Why can't we "bastardize" our own work? If you meant the way George Lucas has done with the shitty prequels, then I can assure you, we will not follow Lucas' path ;)

[Zomborg Apocalypse - 002]

I dunno..

So the difference between a "zomborg" and a zombie, is that one has a metal plate in it's head? That makes them entirely different though, as you say. This piece looks like it took some effort and time to make, but it comes off as doodles nowhere near a spooky level. I had no idea what was going on.. This piece was over before it started. Completely uninterested in seeing future installments unless they're over a minute in length (pardon my slight exaggeration, this was probably at least two minutes), and there is an actual movie to be viewed when I click the "Watch this movie!!!" link. Must have been a slow day on Newgrounds.

SPLANKGY responds:

the borg part plays in the story more later on. thanks!

[(old vers)Dead Rain 4]

gets more and more predictable

I am a huge zombie buff, so naturally I watch zombie stuff when it hits Newgrounds.. I must say that this series has a good style and an original storyline, but after episode 2, it just seems to drag.

Oh, and the whole "you have to work for your meal" bit was a total rip-off of Resident Evil.. Nice try.

SickDeathFiend responds:

these parts had to be made to lead up to the cooler parts (6- and on)
anyway, that silly line thats similar to that shitty resident evil movie, was really just a coincidence, I didnt realise it was similar till somone pointed it out.Was mostly inspired by dawn of the dead scene for that part.
anyways glad you liked it, stay tuned.

[Shooting People]

Hehe..

Uhh, it was funny for a short while, but then it seemed pointless. But then he shot the guy in his stomach, and it was cool. Yea. Uh, and the animation was okay. If it is to be "contined" or whatever it said, make him kill the guy who molested him as a child or something cool. Yea..

mikeyboy13 responds:

Actually, there is supposed to be a big joke around the fact that none of the victims are smart enough to try to run away. =P
