retroarcademonkey's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[League of Champions]

Pretty good, mate. Preeeety good...

I liked it. It was a nice four minutes spent and I could definitely see the effort put into this, but I can also see the roughness in animation and sound quality.

The voice acting can be really good! While other voice actors really failed at their characters, and their mic quality doesn't help either.

And the animation is super rough. Like, sometimes the animation can be really fluid and nice, other times the animation can be really disjointed and not work very well in certain places.

Overall, it was a nice four minutes with a good idea on what it was set-out to do. It just didn't know what to do with it all. But, you did a good job, and I hope you make a better one next time! :D

Good luck! And I could voice-act in your next one maybe.... WHO FRIGGIN KNOWS, WRIGHT!?

[Lazy Writing 12]

This cartoon teaches children and families that ALS kills, especially ice bucket challenges.

In serious-land for a second. ALS is a thing that my big sister nearly had, and I wish that there was a similar charity organization to the ALS Association that was for people with MG, which is what my sister has.

I know people who have read that just now probably don't give a shit, and also probably doesn't count as a review, but ALS is something that a close family member of mine had, and this 'toon is sort of about that shit...sort of.

RAISE AWARENESS OF MG....FOOLS!

[MaxPayne: The Sudden Stop]

For a first cartoon, this ain't half bad.

The animation is a little stiff, but it's forgivable as a first, and as as first actual animation, it's pretty damn good in comparison to most, so props on the animation, man. And as for the colour palette, I was going to make a criticism on the colour choice, but it actually fits the theme pretty damn well for the source material and works really well with thestiff animation.

The voice acting by SirUndead was pretty great and easily the best choice for the voice of Max Payne. I think I'm gonna PM you for those lines, by the way....

As for the joke, (the thing that drives a parody) I didn't find it all that funny. It felt long, drawn-out and not all that creative. But, I could tell you had a blast animating this and having SirUndead talking to you while playing Max Payne.

Overall, good animation with a bland punchline.

[Rifftrax Animated Intro]

As a fan of Mystery Science Theatre, I believe you did a fantastic job, Harry. I literally couldn't see anyone else animate this fucking intro if they tried.

I'm really happy you got to work with these beautiful men, and hope you enjoyed working on this.

What a great honor to serve some of the greatest riff-masters of out time, and for them to ask for you to animate a goddamn INTRO for them is something truely special.

Good on 'ya, Harry, you lucky bastard!

[My Mario Parody]

Haha! Great work, man. Though, as my friend below me said, it shouldn't be normal for a genius like that to animate frame-by-frame so well. This child must be a Renaissance man to be able to both love Speeroo and animate greatly.

Also, fantastic job, Yotam, once again. Just...don't push yourself too hard, okeh?

[You Wanna See My Pecker?]

Yes...cartoons on the internet can be quite strange.

The first thing I will say about this cartoon is the animation, and it's that it sucks. I have never liked tween animation, as it makes the movement of the characters come off as robotic and it makes it obvious that the animator got kinda lazy during the process of animating, though I can't really complain in the context of the creator, as he is known for tween animation and at this point, it's kinda silly as tweening is Jonny's thing.

And the cartoon was funny in a "Haha! This is so weird!" way, and it's also the creator's sense of humor, which is a little close to my sense of humor, and because of that, I only have enjoyed 2/3 of his cartoons.

Overall, I like this cartoon. Good work.

[Pokémon Online]

The art and animation are really nicely done, and the 'toon was a a fairly accurate portrayal of an actual Pokémon Online video game...though I honestly expected a lot more glitches, hacks and weirdos here than some kid with bad mic quality killing a dude with Charizard.

Really nice work, gentlemen, but....a little too short for my liking. A sequel, perhaps?

[TF2 - It's Just A Mask!]

Haha! You just couldn't help yourself, huh? Well, the animation was nice and the joke was well-done. And the Scout is such a woman, don't you agree? I would even say he makes a good pornstar.

[Polymorph]

I'm just going to say something about the animation right here. The animation sucks ass. Now, crappy animation is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, shitty animation can benefit the cartoon's humor, like the Awesome series. That series had shit animation, but that was what made that series hilarious, and the same thing applies here. The only difference here though, is that I don't know if the crap animation was on purpose or not.

Bad animation or not, I laughed by ass off. I was so hard in the end, that I was surprised that this only got daily 5th place. Cartoons on the internet rarely make me laugh, and this is one of those rarities. What made it hilarious was not just the bad animation and laughable voice-acting, but it was the forced references. I could not stop myself from laughing at the forced references and dumb jokes.

I honestly wanna find the guy who made this and shake his hand. This gave me a good laugh that I did not expect to come out of me from a stupid cartoon on NewGrounds. Fuckin' hell, man, you're hilarious! Please do more like this, please! I beg of you!

Thanks for the good laugh, ~Retro

[The Last of Shivs]

I loved the voice-acting, and Cax is really good as Ellie. Brilliant animation from the lovely DuDuL as usual, and while I didn't react too harshly against Ellie for having that knife, I was more pissed at how Joel never thought of taking that knife for himself, since that would've been so damn useful to the both of them if Joel had the knife and not Ellie.

I love the colouring, lighting, voice-acting, and animation. Music's good too.

We don't see very much Last of Us parodies on the internet for some reason. It's really quite strange since there's so much comedic material to work with here it's kinda sad that people are more attracted to Pokemon and Flappy Bird parodies than The Last of Us parodies.

Well, that's enough of me rambling, you guys did a magnificant job making this cartoon, and I found it a little funny at the same time. I love you guys so much for making this, so thanks!

Have an awesome day! ~Retro

DuDuL responds:

Thanks for an awesome review!
Yeah it's weird there aren't many TLoU parodies (well most comics rely on sneaking and AI errors)
Cheers
