toad2000's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ruy the ninja]

Ruy or Ryu?

This is good, but you have some friggin' huge spelling errors. For instance, what the heck is a "wilage"? Also, his name seems to change between Ryu and Ruy.

[ne Plus Ultra: Bette Noir]

Beyond words.

I actually watched that whole damn thing and it definitely had the WTF factor about it. I liked Macgyver until the later seasons and found the pixellated Richard Dean Anderson intriguing. My suggestion is to tighten the pacing a lot. This runs way too long.

[Grandma & Pals]

Submit it when it's done

I hate previews almost more than I hate sprite animations. I would say wait until it is finished to submit it, but I would strongly advise rethinking this whole thing and doing something else. There are far too many Mario sprite animaitons on Newgrounds. It's time to do something else. But if you are going to go ahead and finish this, actually finish it! Don't submit a crappy preview.

[PICONJO: Berserk 2]

Torn

I'm torn between my desire to see this blammed and my desire for a protection point. I chose the high road. Zero.

[Stinky Chicken - Sleep]

Great but...

I was really impressed by the style of this, by how cinematic it looked and how cool the animation blended with the live action.

But...

The writing sucks. It was just inane and interminable. I didn't find it at all funny and/or interesting. Merely having a surreal situation and character does not translate to good comedy. I am, of course assuming you were going for comedy, which I cannot say for certain because it wasn't funny. But you've committed the double crime of making it pointless and monotonous.

Hopefully future installments might have a bit more of a direction behind it.

stinky-chicken responds:

thanks, I've been working out and I think my buts come a long way

[Hart's Valentine II]

Very Funny

Allow me to be cliche and say that this submission is "teh r0xorz!" Very funny; I hope it makes front page.

[Harvey Told You]

Argh

This piece has an interesting sense of style, but the song is just intolerable: especially in the beginning, when it sounds like a record skipping. Also, I think that a little more than the same repeated animations is needed for a successful music video.

Gemina responds:

Thank you for your Comment. I'll try and be a bit more inventive. Hopefully i can spend alot more time on the next one. Gemina x

[Barney Poop 3]

You gotta be kidding

I've watched all nine of these pieces of flash, and I still can't figure it out. Why is Bush kissing these people? You have once again failed to provide context for you piece. In an earlier episode I suggest that you attempted to provide some context, perhaps some dialogue. You responded by saying that adding text would take away from it and that people wanted to see the "action."

but...

-There is no action to be seen. No blinking, no blushing, even the kiss looks more like two pictures hitting each other than like people kissing.
-When I said add dialogue I didn't mean add text. I meant go get a friggin microphone and do some friggin voice acting. And animated lips moving when they talk. Or at least when they kiss.
-You claim you put effort into these, but how is that so if you are able to crank out 4 in the course of two days?
-What you really mean is that adding context would involve putting work into it, which you are not willing to do.

These piss me off so much because they are the very height of laziness and for some reason they keep getting protected. I suspect the real effort you put into these is going to a computer lab and voting fives on all the different computers just to get it protected.

And if there is anybody out there that actually likes these, please, please explain it to me, because I just don't get it.

Krayzd-Wolvf responds:

Watch Mystic Kiss X, I put a storyline in it

[Ascension Protocol]

Need more time

Allow us to read that message at the end for a little bit longer. Other than that, good job.

[Barney Poop 14]

Why?

If you are going to take a bad idea and make it into a movie, at least do it right. Provide a backstory or context for this kiss, have some cheesy dialogue. Maybe you might want to cut to close ups of their eyes, or have Bush blush, or even blink. Hell, I'd even settle for Bush doing the Numa Dance. You clearly put no effort into this at all, and worse yet, it is a ripoff of an already bad idea.

W00tPWNER responds:

We put tons of effort into it, and if we added cheesy text and a backstory, no one would like it. People want to get strait to the action!
