Archewally's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Attack of the Genitaliens]

I went ahead and watched some of the other episodes andI gotta say, I like these. Pretty funny and well written. You manage to keep things interesting for a relatively long running time (as far as web cartoons go). I don't think I have any advice or anything, but I figured I'd say something

margarine responds:

Thanks for the decent review and taking the time to check out my other videos!

[Possession]

Keep it up, that's all I can say. Definitely interesting and original.

Chpenguin responds:

Thank you! :)

[Apple's Shocking iPhone]

I am biased against virtually all pop-culture, celebrity, and iPhone comedy because it's not funny. I guess the crotch heads mean they're dickheads, but why would they be dickheads? Also, you already made that exact joke in a previous thing.

Your comedy leeches off of pop-culture trends and other such things and that's all it does, because it's just plain not funny. It doesn't seem "ADA Sport is a creative competition where dozens of teams battle to see who can make the most hilarious cartoon" because frankly, there wasn't a single, actually funny thing submitted. Plus it doesn't seem like it's really that creative - it's just recycled ideas from past, million-hit, hilariously popular videos.

I have nothing against SexuaLobster, because you hired him to do this and he only made it for you. He knew this idea sucked ass and didn't even want to be in the credits probably. His own touches were the only things that made this barealbe.

ADASport responds:

Your feedback is noted. We appreciate it.

Nancy is livin' legacy, real NGs will remember that. Inspiring, okay, lovely - Nancy is sure to make you chuckle

Also, payin' homage to all them comics I never heard of, that's what's up. Rest in peace, they will always be alive in few people's memories (not mine though)

And also, how the hell do you work so fast?! It's not that I think you're lying, but seems unbelievable that you can do this sort of stuff so quickly.

Emrox responds:

lotsa loops and tweens

[River City Ridiculous]

I guess the relatively low score is due to the somewhat poor audio quality, so I guess that's what people consider a good movie simply must have. As well as top-notch, professional animation. And voiceovers by high-tier voice actors. And I am not trying to say those things don't matter, but those people are full of shit.

This was great - it had a captivating art style, was interesting, felt complete, and most importantly it was fun!

One small thing I liked was the fact that you used a soda can for the trash barrel sound effect (or at least I think you did). Shows how resourceful some people can be.

CynicConn responds:

I'll admit; audio is my biggest weakness. I am limited in audio experience and equipment. Not to diminish the "cinema magic" but yes, that is indeed a soda can crushing sound effect!

I think what separates my video from many others on Newgrounds is that many of them use Flash; giving all those videos a consistent quality in the coloring, effects, etc.

I tried my best with the resources I had! Drawing with a mouse is sometimes hard :)

[Worms the Sitcom]

I gotta say, this was pretty cool. The jokes were funny and it sounds like you put in effort into the voices, plus the audio quality was good. As far as jokes go, my only real complaint was the zoom in on the picture, it kinda felt out of place. I get the idea of the visual gag kind of thing, like the one-frame, weird, creepy faces, but I don't think you should have done that. The picture itself, however, was fucking histerical. The faces look a lot like a blend of psychicpebble's and from the Bravest Warriors, but the art style still looks pretty original, so that's good.

It could've went on for longer, like maybe you had the father-and-son-talk and whatever, but it was still funny. I guess you should make a second episode where that happens. Or something completely different, that's just an idea, but I strongly recommend you make a second one. If you are, I think you should be careful about not going overboard with the one-frame gags like I mentioned before, but definitely do stuff like the part where he shakes his arms and you got that shaking sound and a weird background, or the squeky eyebrows. The part where dad screams was by far the best animated sequence in this.

Anyway, this was pretty good.

Bassetfilms responds:

Whoa, thanks! This is probably the most helpful thing I've gotten for... anything. I wasn't thinking of making another, but now I might. I'll keep all this in mind.

[The Random Transformation]

Thanks for the warning.
Just kidding, it wasn't really retarded. A good way to practice animating is just to do random stuff without any context, which is what you did. Random transformation animations can be interesting, but I feel like yours was too fast paced, maybe. The bit with the plane seemed very out of place, too. Animation looks jittery. I don't know what you're using to draw, but if you have a tablet, I'd suggest turning off pressure so that your lines look more consistent, until you get enough practice with it. Cool idea, longer than I expected it to be. Just continue practicing drawing and animating. Study animation (not in school obviously) by watching some professional animators animate, it really helps. And continue practicing and stay determined.

Garanord responds:

thanks man will do.
