idiot-monarch's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Awesomefield]

Bleh

I hate this bandwaggon. Keep the Awesome movies up to Egoraptor. This flash was awful, imo. The art was poor, even if you were going for a doodle look. At least Egoraptor's movies have some style to them. These looked like two second scribbles.

Only jokes I found funny was about the hobos and the one in the end (and that was even quite predictable).

Still love you, but this toon was balls.

[Biosock]

Not what I was hoping for

Well, It's apparent that you tried, it really is, but this didn't really work. I got so pcyched when the BioShock music came on because I thought that this will actually be a good BioShock parody, and well, it wasn't BioShock. You took a Big Daddy and used it to laugh at some internet memes. This had nothing to do with BioShock. At all.

Plus, the jokes weren't even funny anyways. They're old, overused and weren't presented very well.

Again, I can see how some work went into this. From a technical standpoint this thing was pretty good, but as for content, well... yeah.

[Dad's at Work]

Not as good as the first one.

Although it's not as good as "Dad's Home", it's still goddamn incredible. Giving you tens across the board.

The graphics, style, humor is awesome. Just like in the first one. The randomness of it all is completely over the top. Bravo.

Sound is incredible. The fact that you create some of it yourself is even more amazing.

It had just enough interactivity as a movie needs.

Although, there are some bad points. It didn't feel as random as the first one. The magic really wasn't there anymore. It's probably because toons like this ussually work only once. After seeing the first one, you can kinda expect what you're gonna see here (still want a sequel, though).

Overall, Sakupen, I think you're a fucking genius. Dad's one of the best characters I've seen here on NG. And alot of people will probably agree :)

[Tankmen Anniverary Collab]

Great art, bad quality

It's a shame to see that the quality of the pics got so messed up but almost all of the artwork were really awesome. It was all put together quite nicely :)

3/5
8/10

[Jerry]

Sad

Just like all of your stuff, this is amazing! I loved every second of it. It was quite refreshing between all this other stuff on NG.

First of all, you acomplished something very hard to do in a flash movie. You made me care for Jerry. He's seems such an innocent and nice guy but his life is treathing him like a bitch. I think that the graphics helped here. The flash was bright and colorfull but actually very sad.

The loop was great. Really represents what a dull life 99% of the people on Earth have. At one point it even started sounding like a rythm of sorts. That was very nice. Also, like someone mentioned earlier, it was a bit creepy.

The only somewhat funny parts were about the girls and (at one point) the loop, so I don't understand why everyone thinks it's funny.

This movie is going into my favourite submission list and you're going into my favourite author list :)

[Puncher]

Quite nice

Interestinf lil' flash you have here. I really enjoyed it.

Graphics were very good. It's a great art style and your fbf skills are excelent.

Style was also great. There's something really interesting about this piece that I can't quite put my finger on.

Punchers voice was excelent. It added alot to the movie. Good stuff.

I'm not gonna talk about interactivity.

Humor was ok. The fact that it was completely random made it funny. Granpas part was the best. That pun in the end was quite good too.

Overall, I'm hoping to see more of puncher in the near future :)

[Knee Deep in Death 2]

True to the genre

Awesome movie! I like this one better than the first because this one has a story to it.

The one thing I love about zombie flicks that I think you captured very well was the killing of your loved ones. The bit with the friends photograph where his face turned into a zombie's really caught my eye. That was a great comparison shot.

I also liked how this flash gave a feel that the guy was going out with a bang. You made it obvious that he's not gonna survive (with the bite) but he kept going until the end.

Graphics were nice but could be cleaned up a bit. They were a bit too mesy and there was too much chaos on screen at times. It look like you rotoscoped a lot of it. Is that true? Also, you make purdy explosions :D

Sound was quite nice. The song fitted well with the flash and the zombie sounds were okay.

Btw, I gave humor an 8 because of his squirtgun+tennis ball trick.

[Rise n' Shine]

Plain nice

Not much to say about this except that it was just nice to watch. Short but sweet :)

atomic-noodle responds:

Thanks, i seem to get this review a lot. XD

[AAF "Glow" Collab]

Trendy collab is better

So, I'm seeing you guys and the people from the trendy collab are having a bit of a fight. I haven't participated in any of these two collabs so, from a viewers standpoint, I can say that the trendy collab was better. The animation here was quite basic, sometimes choppy. There was also some filter-whoring.

itsjms responds:

Lol ok trendy had a bunch of poorly drawn tv characters singing , no backrounds , and short. Now why some people find the trendy better is cause RBF is awsome there songs are very upbeat. Ill have a RBF submission coming out really soon.

[The Epic Raid on NG]

WTF are you talking about?

Seriously. NG didn't win. The *chans killed us off. NG is dead! D:
</sarcasm>

It made me laugh. Especially the part wbout the second raid. I'm gonna make a movie about this too :D

Radioactive24 responds:

Sweet, that'd be awesome. I rushes a little to get it in on the day they did the raid, but I almost missed it.

And I agree, the second raid is gonna be great.
