DannyP's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Super Smash]

Bravo

I'm normally annoyed by how overrated the top movies these days are. 4.25 used to be the highest score, but now things are getting stuff much closer to 5.00 and staying up there when they aren't THAT amazing. This was really great, though; it deserves to have a high score. Nice animation, good humour, good length, fitting music with good timing, really badass style, and, despite the hundreds of Mario parodies out there, this one was nice and original. There were a few places where the animation could've been better, but just a minute of this movie far surpasses the animation you'd see in most other Flash animations. It's hard to say if this would be better or not with sound effects.

Huge file size not justified?

What's with the 8.4 MB file size? You had that wind sound set to loop, right?

The movie was slightly amusing. The art was okay, the animation wasn't all there, and the story (?) was lacking.

[The life of boulder]

Uh... huh...

The art is kinda interesting, but the animation is very cheap and the movie doesn't make sense.

[|~Snow Snow For Lucy~|]

Alright

The voice actors kinda lacked emotion, and we could've maybe made due with fewer zoom-ins. I dunno, I wasn't really "feeling it". It was pretty alright, though.

An improvement in some aspects

The backgrounds were very detailed. The animation wasn't as good as the previous ones in that there wasn't nearly as much actual animation. There's actually some kind of story getting setup here, which is a huge improvement. I found the previous ones boring, to be nothing more than smooth animation that I could find in any professionally animated movie, complete with some predictable, childish humour or moral of the story - Bitey getting what he had coming.
This is leading to something more interesting, though. I always acknowledged the skill and effort in the animation in the previous ones, but those reviews got deleted because I said I didn't like the movies overall. I still think this is overrated, but it could be amazing if those animating skills were put to good use (i.e. something with a little more depth/entertaining value, not just a display of excellent animating skill).

inb4 flagged/deleted for actually posting a review instead of blind praise and for giving this a score below 10

[Dr. Mario with Lyrics]

Meh

That wasn't even the song from Dr. Mario... Animation was pretty good, I didn't find it very funny, though. The general idea of Mario calling himself a doctor with no medical background is good, but it's been done before and it's harder to laugh at an "overall joke" than smaller ones...

How the hell is that NOT the song from Dr. Mario? You can't just SAY things.

[DARE]

It was okay

Dunno what the original or whatever is. The animation wasn't that great... well, there just wasn't much animation, really. Most of it was still pictures with a few motion tweens here and there. Good technique with that, though. It was okay overall.

[Girlchan in Paradise Ep2]

Funny

To anyone who doesn't get it, it's a parody of battle anime and English dubs. They waste the majority of the time talking, the talking is just still frames with the mouth moving, animations are recycled, attacks are just still frames with some emphasis (that's not something you see in modern anime, though) and they repeat a few times, etc.
English dubs often give characters wacky voices and the dialogue has to be fitted to the mouth animations.

The animation here obviously isn't that good, especially since it's an exaggeration of low quality anime, recycling drawings and animations way more than your average 70s-90s battle anime, but it's quite funny. Good work.

What the hell?

You piece of shit, this is stolen. I'm the one who made it.

[Tall 'n Short]

No...

It was better than the circle/square one I just watched, but where did that 3.78 score come from? Does Newgrounds' democratic system just come down to a popularity contest?
The jokes in this were like... extremely average. The animation was terrible, but that seems to be a part of this "shapes" joke. I think the extremely newbish movies that get blammed for being godawful are funnier than this stuff...

inb4 "abusive" review for being honest instead of a mindless fanboy
