Kede's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stick Scuffle]

Intersting

It seems these days everyone is aiming at dethroning XiaoXiao.

Whilst the cause is laudable, the results are not always as expected (in a general sense!).

On a negative side (always present bad news first):
-the figures were slow
-the moves were quite basic
-multiple enemies are good, but only whe they are doing something. Waiting in line is bad.

On a positive side (at last the good news):
-zooming was good, in the first panel, I liked it. Be more rapid, as a fight scene always implies speed
-not staying with the same background is always a plus. In future movies, keep true to this. Caveat however: do not try to hop around too much.
-music could be a bit more aggressive, but a decent choice nonetheless

So:
-speed it up a bit
-be more imaginative on the background - a god background always provides good and often unexpected tools for the protagonist (a good thing)

Hope that was useful!

Keep it coming!

FruitAlien responds:

I understand completely.

Anyway, what's XiaoXiao?

[Germaines Webcam]

I don't see

I know there are people who don't lik foamy and that's all in their good reason to do so.

But this is
-tasteless
-uninventive
-pointless
-stupid

I really whish there was a clause saying "no stupidity" in Newgrounds rules. Unfortunately, that would be a breach of artistic rights.

Nevertheless, you could have made a smeggin EFFORT!!!

PowerRangerWHITE responds:

But this is

hey just like foamy =D

[German Hardcore Porn]

At last a good one

I have voted against many a movie tonight, I don't know what is goin on...

This is quite original, I must say, never seen/heard f anything of the sort before...

The fact that the dialogue is transposed in such a way makes it even more silly (nota, in a good way)

Question: do you understand German? did you associate the images with the dialogues in any pun ways or is it just hap-hazard/what suits the sound?

Brilliant.

struma responds:

A mixture of both. Some of the lines gave obvious associations, some were intented as puns and some the rest followed the basic sound of the line.

[Mafia Banana takes charge]

Piece o nothing

A series of panels where the banana is swearing (and it's not even clever swearing)

Damn, I thought this would have been permanently removed.

1/ No graphics of your own - okay, well a few, but hardly worth any attention
2/ No plot - I know this ain't a book. It's a cartoon, fine. But either have a plot or some witty ideas. Random swearing does not qualify (unless that, in itself, is original and witty, however vulgar it may turn out.)
3/ No animation - well, I don't qualify static objects moving around as animation. I could do the same with JavaScript in a web page. That's saying "that's not talent".
4/ This is obviously the work of an underacheiver who thinks that swearing is funny in itself.

Advice:
1/ watch the top 100 of the portal - there are plenty of rude and/or violent things there along with the rest. The difference is: they're original
2/ Watch a few episodes of Family Guy, or the Simpsons - they're vulgar, nonsensical and illogical - but they're witty
3/if you can't do any of those, do it as an art form. There are plent of cartoons with no plot and no dialogue but are just good for the quality of animation

And if you can't do that, go do some homework

PS: no I don't animate. Do you play music, make films or paint 50 by 30 foot paintings that take a third of a life time? I don't think so. But It doesn't stop you from criticising any of them quite rightly. So don't whine.

Anal-Juice responds:

poo

[HouseOnHappyHillReloaded]

Aye that's good

I remember commenting your midnight voice recordings... this is much better!

Keep it up!

Xiphon responds:

Oh yah, that was ages ago! I try to take everything everyone says to heart and really improve it. I feel thats the reason a lot of people don't ever get much better is because they simply don't listen

[Chubaka Jam #1]

A 'jam' my arse

6 animations by 2 people sigden all the same name...??

And the graphics are shit

And the animation is shit

And the ideas are shit

Only the last one seems to be okay.

Ogmz-Chubaka responds:

l0l

[Park Walk [ oMFg!1 ]]

Nothing

No story
No end
Heck, barely a middle
Not much point....

I am quite personaly tired of unfinished projects however well these start off.

I was getting ready for something to happen, an outcome, something and was very disappointed.

TonyTheMan responds:

If ya wanna story, go read a book.
If ya want a end, shoot urself.

Just j/k! This is a parody of DBZ! I mean bleh does it look like I put skill in it!?

[Elvis+Avoidy death battle]

Not bad but...

1/ Increase the frame rate
2/ Make sure the musics don't overlap (your computer may play the graphics a bit slower than mine does...)
3/ Implement SFX

edmondoman responds:

thanks for your suggestions(pointing out the obvious) but maybe your computer is slow because the frame rate is fine on mine.

[Night Terrors V2]

Interesting...

I haven't seen anything in this kind before... I think it's interesting... Maybe slow down a bit for the text (but just a wee bit) and... well, the stick figures... were okay... for what they are, they could be 'upgraded'...

Keep it comin'

2RS-Flash responds:

Yeah I like making flashs that make people think "Man, how weird is this guy?!"

[Penguin Jam 2]

Plain shit.

After that blazing title, something more constructive....

Don't like swearing frankly, but WHAT THE FUCK???

All cartoons were POINTLESS. They didn't follow ny coherent line, together or independantly.

Animation was very bad - okay, smooth for some of you guys but hey, what's that worth against omething proper??

Violence for violence's sake I can take - actually I love the madness series and dead babies stuff - but this is just freakin pointless....

Try to concentrte on something a bit more WORTHY of this site...

Good luck anyhow.

PS pop-culture-reference:
You promised an improved and worthy version of SDPT last year to prove me wrong. I'm waiting...

cool-penguin-0 responds:

Well, cartoons are meant to entertain, not have some great meaning to them. It's a bit of brainless entertainment, not fucking Asimov.
