II2none's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Where are the Dinosaurs?]

lacking, yet succeful.

Nice to see a collab that isn't based on pop culture. This the first time I will ever watch a humorous collab based on dinosaurs. I hope the jokes are original and fresh and not sound like they came from the back of a milk carton.

As for the clip itself it was okay it didn't succeed all that well in comedy but it did spark my interest and I hope The Dinosaur Collab has stronger clips than this.

[Dead Space Fail]

It's okay

I see the appeal but this felt way too short. I know it's not easy to make dead space look like a joke but it wasn't that funny to me. Only a smirk here and there but I guess that's my problem. However I do like the alien hominid animation style, and the funniest joke was the reference to monster by Jay- Z, kanye west and various others.

You definitely shown a silly side to a game that most people wouldn't dare try (especially newcomers to dead space) so congrats I hope for more interesting jokes if there's a follow up.

3/5

[Sonic's 20th Anniversary]

succesful but theres room for improvement.

concept: Tribute to sonics anniversary aswell as the best possibility of the best 3d sonic game to date known as sonic generations.

Art: While the characters and scenes were drawn well enough to distinguish who from whom. But if I may, please improve your potential by learning porportions, and practice analyzing the body of sonic characters. I know it's difficult at first but you know what they say about practice. Also manage your time cause I'd rather see an artist trying than taking short cuts (some noticeable tracing)

Animation: I know little about the difficulty curve of animation but I can say I've seen enough to know that theres room for improvement here to sonic run cycle didn't feel very sonic-ish. You did a decent job and overall it was smooth, but again I feel your true potential is still dormant.

Overall:
I would go on but its 7 am but i thank you for possibly being the first to attempt this. I always thought there should be one so I appreciate your efforts. While you still have some kinks to work out this is still a nice tribute.

keep it up and pre oder sonic generations a.s.a.p

[Stickman Can't Fight 2]

A new original comedy.

Concept: a sequel to the first about a stickman who can't fight. While the first one was lacking I'm pleased to say this is a decent improvement from the first. Despite how painfully sshort these are I'm looking foward to the next installment.

Humor: Definately the highlight of the flash, while the action is lacking, hence the title. The comedy is pure gold, people may give raised eyebrows at that last sentence but I'm a sucker for well executed physical and pop culture humor. After seeing that matrix fail I had to contain my burst of laughter at 1 am in the mornin.

Improvements:
Although you atre already improving I would just like a lengthier flash. Of course ultimately it's your call. I could see the idea that a longer drawn out flash of this series might not have comedy that may be as memorable. but in the end I don'r care cause, YOU FUNNY.

Verdict:
Despite how painfully short these the comedy here is well worth it and well done for a 2 minute flash. guitan11 seems fairly new and already has me hooked on this new comedy. Keep it up and I'll definitely be on the look out for your next sequel as well as your other works.

well... you really put a lot of effort into this review, huh? well thanks a bunch. i like getting criticized. makes me want to get better to shut people up (not you, people who just talk smack ;D ) and thanks for the elaborated review..... you lowered my score though >.<"

[Madness Abrogation]

A great addition to this confusing series

Animation:
Rayman style bodies, bouncy movement to the point of ADD, and HANK against the world. Yep definitely a madness flash. No changes neccesary this series is practically a trademark. I also got a chuckle out of the clowns reaction towards getting absorbed in that demon angel or whatever. "YES,YES,YES!!!" XD

Story: so many spinoffs and various titles that I don't know what chapter follows what. We went from madness combat (insert number here) to annihilation and all these other titles with synonyms for death, killing and chaos. It's been awhile since I've seen a madness flash but if this is part of the original series and if the original does have an on going story let me know.

Action: Madness is known for it's brutal and occasionally humorous action and Abrogation is no exception. fist, bullets, and blood flying everywhere just the way I like it. Although I'm confused about Hanks "PROTOTYPE" arm, If that arm gives him his super strength why is his left arm able to break bars and shotguns? Kind of a nitpick but it does defeat the purpose of his monstrous arm.

Sound: Music kicks so much ass and doesn't have an obvious repetitive feel and would take one a long time to learn the melody. This song is way better than the clowns theme definitely keep "cheshyre" around his MC10 track is IPOD worthy. Guns sound like guns, and ass kicking sounds like an ass kicking nough said.

Improvements:
make the antagonist powers more distinguishable the black energy he shoots looks boring if there flame make them look like flames or if it's acidic then make us believe that it is. If he's making a reappearance take this into account. (From the looks of things I'd say that's slim at best, lol.)

OVERALL:
Madness art and direction have been like this for what 10 years? I've been content with it before and very minimal changes are necessary as far as I'M concerned. Although some clearer consistency wouldn't hurt. I know numbers in a title tend to feel tasteless after a trilogy, but al least have it as subtitle. However if you're trying to pull a ZELDA then keep it up you're doing a hell of a job!

[Pokemon But With Animals2]

Boring

audio is tolerable, the jokes else not so much.

boring jokes -check (except the one with nurse joy and the machine)
forced jokes - check
immature jokes -check

In my opinion the jokes could've been better if you guys put more feeling into your dialogue overall your voices are so monotone to the point where it doesn't SEEM like you care.

Your art could use some work as well the picture in the ending credits had more quality artwork than the entire flash. Spice up the characters a little more they look so uninteresting even if it's just a parody.

The redeeming factor here is the music.The soundtrack remixes by Burn 7 are awesome, it's clear this guy has talent. you have great tracks that would fit really well an action Pokemon flash/ game.

I don't really see #1 daily feature status in this series but hey your obviously doing something right. As for me well, no...

[Pokemon But With Animals]

Poor audio kills the entire flash

I shouldn't have to max out my volume just to enjoy a flash and even then I still can't hear everything clearly.
I heard enough just to get by, understood most of the jokes and the lines being said. But that's no excuse I should be able to have my volume at a reasonable level, please put more effort into assuring your flash is convenient. Although it seems like the masses couldn't give two shits I don't like being forced to settle for inconveniences that could've easily been fixed.

I understand that most parodies have crappy animation but since this flash already has horrible audio quality it makes the entire flash feel rushed.

it's depressing I have to force myself to give you such a low score but couldn't you have fixed the audio before submitting the flash? I mean you seem pretty experienced with flash but maybe the way you submitted it is the problem I don't know....

Unfortunately you have to settle for:

4/10 (if audio was fixed would've been a 7)

2/5 ( if audio was fixed it would've been a 3/5)

[Sonic Gut Feeling]

not bad, but it's been done before

Animation: while i appreciate the animation, your style seems to transition and some scenes looked like a straight copy of sonic in a pose slightly edited. I guess i could overlook this but that wouldn't help you as an artist.

Comedy: I think the whole tails being useless could've been executed better, but your direction did get the point across. The problem is this is pretty much the main joke of the flash and it wasn't "funny" funny. It's just funny cause it true in some people eyes. (sonic unleashed, sonic the hedgehog 2)

Also i think that last joke with chris from Sonic X-tremely stupid, should've been the focus of this flash in my opinion. Surprisingly people rarely parody chris in NG flashes but I'm glad you did even though its was very brief and not quite satisfying.

6/10

kalabor106 responds:

I'll agree, wish I did more with Chris. Well maybe next time Chris will take center stage ;) Thanks for the honesty and constructive review.

[Smashin Brothas]

Just...all over the place.

Get your useless clickers ready.

While your animation is okay (and I suppose this style is suppose emphasis the comedic feel) The comedy aspect of is..to be blunt not that funny. If anything it's obnoxious, I'm sorry but characters yelling one minute then mumbling another minute and having to constantly turn my volume up and down for 7 minutes is really annoying.

I could be wrong about this but this has Egoraptor influence all over this flash. And while his style isn't all that funny to me either, I'd rather watch humorless "comedy" than abuse my volume buttons.

Back to the jokes some feel thrown in there while others were just executed poorly and the messy audio quality didnt help matters.

I think it's high time Newgrounds realizes that loud yelling does not automatically mean funny.

Improvements
Fix your audio
find your own style of comedy and improve on it.

[WGJ4K: Mario Vs Sonic]

Went form amussing to boring very fast.

the first act with the chess game was somewhat funny, but the second and third act is what killed it for me. to much silent moments, and by the third act wtf was the mario nerd talking about? Did I miss the scene where he had a bowl of crack and red bull for breakfast?

Turning the comedy to an un interesting nerd battle killed it for me cause it was boring little humor and just got random by the end.

2/5
