idiot-monarch's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[TOFU3]

I hate the direction you've taken this in

Great art and animation as always (though it was kinda weird that you used tweens for traditionally drawn stuff at one point), but I gotta say, I didn't enjoy this one bit. The first part was a fun romp that didn't really need sequels, and Tofu 2 was still cool, but was getting convoluted.

Now you're trying to make this little Flash series into something it's not, a series in the vein of 'Lost', and in my opinion, it's not working. There was practically no action in this one, and the whole complex time travel shit made me lose faith in the series.

[Music Is An Epic Thing]

Pretty rad

I've been into motion graphics for some time now, and I recently got After Effects. I gotta say, this was really cool, despite the fact that most of it is just built in effects and whatnot. Still, props to you for making the plane model and filming some footage yourself. Loved the hand thing. It would've been cool to see more of that.

Do you think you could post a link to a high res video on Youtube or Vimeo or something? The quality is pretty bad right now (props to you for fitting all that into 8 megs, btw).

PS

It's spelled 'particles' ;)

Shhh...I was finishing this up at 5am for newgrounds. I MAY post it on youtube but then again it'll be some time before I do that sorry

but thanks for the review

[Awesome Cracks Down]

Great art, but unfunny

I gotta admit, your art style really has developed beautifully. This was a treat to the eyes lol. However, the movie really wasn't funny at all.

The easter egg was good though.

Terrible

I remember watching this when it was Under Judgment and giving it a 1 or 2.

I really don't get why you're so popular. None of your stuff is really any good, but this is probably the worst I've seen from you.

The animation was decent, I suppose, but I couldn't really enjoy it because of how terrible the line art was. It looks like you just said "Fuck it" after you made the sketch layer and added some shitty coloring.

You didn't even bother to do some shading. Instead you just slapped on an alpha'd black gradient.

But whatever, right? After all, you have a hilarious song to back the shitty art up. Too bad you didn't make the song. And too bad it's unfunny and cliche. Seriously, there are millions of 'joke' songs (and music vids) out there just like this, and they're all terrible.

It's clear that you've realized that you don't have to try anymore, since your ten year old fans are gonna upvote ypur work no matter what.

I suppose I wouldn't have a problem with this movie (and you, for that matter), if it didn't have such a high score and wasn't so popular. Seriously, all of your work looks like it was made in, like, 2004.

I know that this review is gonna be rated as useless (because compliments are much more helpful than critique, amirite?) and I'm gonna get review banned for not giving the mighty Edd a 10, but I just wanted to say how I feel about your work.

guys

Drugs are bad mkay

[Super Fun Time Adventure]

Cool, but don't rip off MS Paint Adventures

It's pretty obvious that you've been inspired by MS Paint Adventures, which isn't really a bad. What is a bad, though, is completely ripping off jokes (the whole 'no arms' thing).

Still, I thought it was funny and the art was quite nice (if not a bit simple).

Kyaztro responds:

Yeah I actually just realized that, I didn't catch the joke the first time in MS paint, but I don't think I stole the it either since I have used this same character in a prior animation before I got into MS paint adventures.

[The Dungeons and Dragons]

Awesomeness on a stick

Animation was a bit lacking, but the concept and humour makes up for it. Great job!

The main reason I'm writing a review, though, is to tell you that I saw the V-cam as an object on-screen the whole time, which was a little annoying. Maybe it' s just me, but you may want to fix that.
