Emanhattan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[WGJ4K: Robert Burgless]

hmmmm

I think out of all the wgj4k episodes so far, this one is the most flat in humor. The joke is how all of the jokes they say are not funny (they are quite PUNY tough heh).

I liked this episode more as a voice acting/writing demonstration than I did as a cartoon.

sorry!

[All Aboard the Pain Train]

my kinda toon!

why this is a nice flash!!!

I love your character designs. Even your monsters are so funny looking and adorable that I just want to grab their cheeks and squeeze them silly.

The only thing that bugs me in this cartoon is that your animation lacks more weight. Meaning:

1- the sequence with the bat hitting the head of the other kid. it doesnt feel life like enough. I think its because the bat moves too slow when hes about to hit. but there is almost no recoil force in the other guy´s head or in the bat.
Im trying to struggle with a bareer language here but I think you know what I mean

2- your walk cycles need a wee bit more bounce. this is evident in the part with that skeleton guy. it almost looks like he is a floating torso. Careful with that

other than that you are a great cartoonist and you make nice cartoons and I would give you all my money if i could 10/10

[Mastermind 5]

hahaha

These are always fun to watch. Ive always tought with its red/black colour scheme mastermind was a pretty interesting feast for the eyes. and the voice acting is pretty nice as well.

I really like the minions in this, the have so much personality and its fun how you play around with their uneasyness towards the mastermind.

I really did not see the ending coming wich was really nice.

also wtf the mastermind got fucken tuff I guess he took a lot of steroids after mastermind 4.

The-Swain responds:

He was pretty big in 4, too. I think he first started getting muscley in MM2, when I threw in that side view of him. Until then I wasn't sure what he looked like.

Really though, I think his head is just smaller. A lot smaller.

['The Cosmic Fork']

oooooo

very weird, but interesting animation. i tought it had a nice, simple story. But I feel that so many lines and fuzzyness in general is not easy on the eyes. theres almost too much noise in there.

still an ok carton

Butzbo responds:

Yyes i went for the fuzzyness aiming for an extremely chaotic ambience, but maybe i overdid that,hhuh-huh.
Thanks for the feedback!

[ParodyRangersTheMovie P.3]

its alright I guess

But it feels about 10 minutes waaaaaaay too long!

[Turing Test]

stupendous

much more engaging than a lot of dramatic movies, It actually had me biting my nails in anxiety

[Neenja 4]

amazing

in many ways a very well done series

there are nly 2 things that always itch me when I watch one of these

the first one is the voice acting, while fitting to the characters it is kind of annoying!

the second one is that the main characters ear grows out of his neck!

[The Kirby Collab]

hmmmm

its a bit too derivative. The sprite parts somehow felt really old. some of them remind me more of what kirby sprite animations were like in 2005 than they do about the game itself.

Someone in the collab used vector drawings in his sprite skit and it didnt look very nice. I think the general problem with all of the parts, and the most noticeable one, is that most of the shading is way off. You guys should avoid adding "light sources" and "shadows" for the sake of adding detail.

A tip that you will all find really useful in a near future: what you are looking for is not more detail, but more accuracy.

I did not find it particularly funny but im simply not that much into kirby I guess.
I think ikools part was the most nicelly done

yep

FlashfireEX responds:

I don't know what you mean by old. The shading is a bit off, yes but we were all focusing a lot more on the animation and comedy than the details. If you're not really into Kirby you're probably not gonna laugh at the jokes. That's just how it is.

[Indie]

hahahaha

good satire of the stereotypical wannabe indie person who ends up being as common as the rest of the wannabe indies etc

I like the ending in this
