retroarcademonkey's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[PokeGen XY]

At first, I was like "Oh, look. Another Pokemon parody that involves a "POKEMAN DESIGNERS ARE SO LAZY LOLZ" *Sigh*" The overused joke definitely put me off.

And then the obviously Chris O' Neil inspired animation, with a bunch of references to other animes and a reference to Girl Chan in Paradise. The whole switching animation "joke" was really hit & miss with me.

The voice acting was "meh". Like the jokes; hit & miss. But, what got me to give this a 4.5 rating wasn't the bland start, it wasn't the anime jokes, and it most certainly wasn't the stupid Oney inspired animation. It was the ending that had me laughing my ass off.

I freaking loved it, man! I cannot say that for many Pokemon parodies, so you got out lucky. You have passed the "RetroArcadeMonkey test", as it were.

I just hope you can be more original with your jokes and don't be too obvious with the inspiration from other animators. Good day, sir, and I hope you take this review well.

[GTA For Kids]

The casting decision for Markiplier as every single damn character in this flick was amazing!
And the whole Dora da Explora shit was a very good choice for the gritty world of GTA.

Overall, I loved it. Good choice of parodying two franchises that are entirely separate in every way!

[The Man Who Won't Rhyme]

After a week of thinking on what to say to this heart-warming and somewhat funny tale, I have finally found it.

I loved every second I dedicated myself into watching this perfect heart-warming piece of shit, it was so saaaad, but so fuuny!! And soo sweeet! But that shit's for over-emotional fools...I focus on the quality of voice acting, animation, and finesse of the story-telling. This is obviously made by the mind of FrozenFire, a man with a great gift of both story-telling, and animation all at once.
This is the guy who made Relive Your Life, which has made me fall in love with his work. And it has recently came to me that I haven't fanned him yet. Now I have.

Tomar's brilliant impersonation of the elder man has immediately gripped me, in what slightly reminds me of Forrest Gump, don't ask why. With MichaelJ doing an impersonation of a young gay person known as the main character, what's not to love here? The voice acting? No. The story-telling? Hell no! That shit's deep! The music? It's great! What're you talking about!?!?!

Man, you don't stop doin' what you love, you hear!?! Or...read...

FrozenFire responds:

Reviews like these make it all worth it ;)

[Mario's Theft]

Its very nice animation stunned me for a few seconds, only to finally disappoint me in its punchline, it was a simple joke that didn't make me laugh at its simplicity, it just left me agape with a stupid looking grin on my fat, stupid face. Well done!

[Infinite plane crash <3]

I forced myself to watch this godforsaken loop. And when I saw that it got 2 stars, I thought "Oh, no." And played the loop, it was amazing.

For godsakes, people! This is awe-inspiring! This is...Nah, just kidding, this is a hilariously bad loop spawned by the boredom of a man who had nothing better to do in class but make this...thing.

ZeTrystan responds:

HAHAHA, exactly! I don't care about the staaaars man, I just care about me doing something else during boring classes.

[140 - Kill the eyes]

A decent test animation by a good friend. I have never played 140, but since my time watching this test, I'm thinking on buying it.

ZeTrystan responds:

Thanks dude.

Seriously, this game is worth it.

[Toons These Days: Ep 23]

I never was a fan of the show and game, it's just not my kind of thing. But, lots of people are into it, and I don't blame those people, it's just not my thing.

It's really one of those animes that have mixed opinions, there's one side that loves it; and there's the other that either hates it, or just never understood the appeal, and I am part of those people that don't understand its appeal.

And great Toons These Days episode, too!

Also, how in the hell is Yugi able to keep his crazy-ass hair even in sleep? My guess, his hair can bend the fabric of the universe.

[Salad Fingers 10]

I teared up by the end. This series is beautiful, the art, the animation, the characters, and the world itself is in fact, beautiful.

The casual viewer would just think "Jesus, this is one fucked up cartoon! Whoever made this is a goddamn psychopath!" But really, if you think about it, it's a piece of modern art --no, more than that, it's beauty in an art-form, animation.

As I watched this, I was just awe-struck by the pure complexity in the world David Firth created in his brilliant imagination. What seems like a screwed-up fantasy, is really something to marvel at, something to watch in amazement.

The dialogue is quotable, brilliant, and raw imagination, farting out of these characters' brains.

This is perfect, I tend to not say "It's perfect!!! 5 STARS!!" because that is just retarded. No, only dumb Newgrounders review like that.

David Firth is a fucking genius, plain and simple, if I ever had the chance to talk to this man in person I would kiss his ass right there. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this fucking brilliant cartoon. I literally have nothing else to say about this, it's just what it is: An extremely imaginative online animated series that delves into the viewer's psyche, I love it.

WATCH THE ALL OF DAVID FIRTH'S WORKS AND BE AMAZED!!

[S.C.S.F. Collab]

What I have witnessed was something beautiful, something special, something so amazing that if I were to describe what this collab meant to me I would put it like this: SANIC 06, GAME OF ALL YEARS!
I was blown away immediately after Northridge's amazing animation sequence. My ears were bleeding, my heart was pounding with suspense, and I felt ready to do something with my life after the viewing of this masterpiece. 5 STARS!! 10/10!!!! NEWGROUNDS COLLAB OF THE YEAR!!!!

[Antigravity Cat 2]

This happens with my two cats all the time! Except for the pissing. This really didn't strike me as funny, it just struck me as a little slice of reality in a cartoon that is set in a universe where anti-gravity cats are a natural occurance, and where people don't give a shit where their cat pisses.

Just bland, simple humor that never did seem to phase me in the least. Work on that shit, CarbonWater, and fast!

Carbonwater responds:

Okay.
