retroarcademonkey's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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

[Just an Ordinary DayZ]

While I have never played DayZ in my entire life of gaming, I bet this is pretty darn close to what the game is like.

The animation was gorgeous, clean, and all-around lovely to look at. Hey....I just realized something while writing this...Aussies animators on the internet, I have found, are really good animators. Like, damn good. For example: Rubber Ross, Sam Green, and Michael Cusack are all really fantastic at animating, moreso than most American animators out there.

Oh, and the music was typical NewGrounds music, but Sam & RionHunter managed to make this NewGrounds music work here.

And there are barely any memes here! In Sam's Minecraft and other cartoons, he used internet memes to compensate with his lack of humorous punch, which is NOT how you make a cartoons funny. But here, this was, I believe written by RionHunter, who seems to have a much better grasp of humor than Sam, and the jokes went really well here. I also found the orange joke to be pretty damn funny. Good work on that front, RionHunter.

And all I have to say about the voice-acting is: 'Dat Austrailian accent.

I really enjoyed this 'toon, and I did not expect to actually enjoy this. Thanks, guys for making a damn good cartoon that was worth my time!

Oh, and you guys should totally team up to make cartoons together. RionHunter could be the ideasman and writer, while Sam Green could be the animator. Together, these two would be practically unstoppable!! Good day ~ Retro

SamGreen responds:

Actually I wrote and animated everything within a week or so. I had Rion draw up the backgrounds at late notice. Though I do appreciate the honesty more than you think and I believe there's a compliment in there because of it. :)

The problem with Animation is the trial error period especially in writing can be quite difficult. Break away from memes like you said is tricky and it's hard to 'BE FUNNY' as sometimes I feela joke is too risky or my timing and idea of the joke is probably off or too basic/lame. rofl

I'd like to say I'm a funny person, though I like to joke from situation in real life and it's hard to convert to animation, but with this review it does appear I'm getting better. I wouldn't say this is my best though I'm happy to say it's a step up for bigger and better things.

Also being able to do this within a week when most animations take around a month and the art style still isn't lacking too much I thoroughly appreciate. :)

Cheers for the review mate,
Sam

[Bear And Bunny Boo ❤]

Speedo's back, with a mild vengeance.

This made me feel happy, as Bear got his testicles ripped off in the end :D

And yeh, it really isn't the most original idea in the world for a flashy toon, but the way it was animated, voiced, directed, erected, it made the concept almost new.

Keep up the erections, you magnificant bastard!

Speedo responds:

thnx bby

[It's just a mask -TMNT tr]

Michael Bay has screwed the Ninja Turtles in a way that cannot be forgiven.

First, Bay screws Transformers. Then, Bay screws the Battleship franchise for some reason. And now, Bay screws the Ninja Turtles by making the Turtle designs quite possibly one of the finest examples of the Uncanny Valley that has been put out on to the big screen.

And Michael Bay says he has this series covered. I laugh.

[Gordon Freeman in The XXX]

This was quite amazing as it was hilarious!

Love the butt shots and I'm not even gay! Great work with the lip-syncing, mate!

Man, I still need to finish that first Half-Life game...

RyanStorm responds:

dude, go for it, Half-Life 1s fun as hell.

[Anime Amigos 1: Miku-Chan]

Whoa...that...was...amazing.

You hit the nail on the head, man. You hit it. And I should know because I have met people that are quite similar to these characters at conventions, they creep me out, to say the least.

And of course people will get offended by this, obsessed anime fans are quite protective people on the internet.

I am someone who enjoys a little anime and Hatsune Miku music, but not that much. Great animation, fantastic voice-acting, and brilliant Ren & Stimpy style animation.

[Mario Seinfeld]

"What's the deal with mushrooms? I mean, they make you GROW bigger, but HOW does it make ya' grow? I dunno', better ask the Princess for that information"

I love this shit, Esquire. I can't get enough of this shit, man.

[FAKE]

This was a very impressive animation.

I have a couple of minor complaints about the animation, though. The animation seemed quite stiff, almost as if most of the cartoon was just still images, which it isn't.

I just kind of wished the animation flowed more, and gave more of a sense of life in these characters, despite the fact that these are Mega-Man X characters.

But other than those very minor flaws in the animation department, this excels in music, voice-acting, (depending if that's original or from one of the games) and theme.

I, myself, am not very familiar with the Mega-Man franchise, as I have not played very many Mega-Man games, and I have never played any the Mega-Man X games, so I'm kinda in the dark with this one.

A fantastic Mega-Man cartoon all-around that actually isn't a parody, huh, now that's rare.

Great job, mate!

[Twitch Draws Pokemon]

I'd say this is pretty accurate. I've been on that stream. It was a shit stream.
