X-Naut's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[:the Composer:]

Excellent.

Nice animation, touching music and story, and a good lesson to learn from the whole thing. It's also good how the whole story became a full circle, making the process repeat itself. What I also find astounding was that you composed the music yourself. There are so many great things to see, just in this one flash alone.

This is honestly one of the better things I've seen in a while. This is an excellent, amazing, and beautiful piece of work, my good sir.

[Blockhead: Episode 10]

Another great episode.

You have to wonder how he managed to start a car, let alone get his hands on one he doesn't own. Then again, he's known to do the impossible.

Same clean art style as the last one, with all the good humor that the series is known for. The plot was still as ridiculous as ever, always involving Blockhead to become a hazard to the public, and leading to unpredictable events.

Another great addition to the series. Very good.

[Health Reminder]

It's different.

To say the least.

An interesting twist on the world of medicine. You do prove that you have one strange imagination. Your style is a tad more different from your other flashes. But that's what I enjoy about this.

Good stuff.

[Thwomps: The Movie]

Very good.

One of the better sprite movies I've seen in a while.

Plenty of great humor, and a good storyline. I didn't know there were so many varieties of thwomps from the whole series. I see a lot of work went into the flash, what with a dozen things going on in nearly every scene at once.

The action scenes were also enjoying. All the way from overtaking the castle, to the Mario and Luigi fight. I did enjoy how each fight involved some crazy combos.

Like I said before, the amount of humor in here was great. I did enjoy the long, drawn-out dramatic music after Bowser is defeated, the whole slow-motion janitor equipment throwing, where it was just a Lakitu hold a fishing pole, and the Kirby cameo appearance. Although there's not as much witty humor as it is slapstick comedy, but that's not really a bad thing.

The voice-overs were great as well. Each thwomp had a voice fitting his/her character. Even Mario and Luigi sounded like........well, Mario and Luigi. Pretty good.

And I also enjoyed the choices of music that were chosen for different scenes. I didn't expect to see the Time Warp at the end. That caught me by surprise, and gave me a worthy chuckle.

Overall, a lot of detail and work went into this flash movie, and it's easy to see all of that. So kudos on such a great flash. A well-deserved 10.

[Awesome Compilation Vol 1]

Pretty good.

I still think when SMB was being made, someone must have been doing shrooms at the time. I do agree how annoying it is to get everything in order in RE4. And in Pac-Awesome, the ghosts conversations were amusing, but I was expecting to see Pac-Man in there.

Still, good shorts to get a quick laughs from. I still get kicks from seeing these short and quick parodies. Can't wait until the next volume.

[Dad's at Work]

Very good.

Nice to see Dad come back. Although it wasn't as funny as the first one, it definitely a lot more better animated. The 3D effects for the hallways were very classy.

Still as crazy as the first one. Nice to see a menu in the beginning, too. If only as many people could be able to finish their work in less than two minutes.

I did enjoy the credits as well. Still, very good, just not as good as the first one. Can't wait to where this whole thing will end up.

[Blockhead: Episode 9]

Nice.

Not as funny as the other Blockhead flashes, but this one was a looked a lot more cleaner and smoother, I will admit. But although I didn't feel like it had the same charm as the other flashes in the series had.

It did still have some of the random humor that this series is known for. But it didn't blow me away. It looked good, but it didn't have that same feel as your earlier flashes had.

Tweak up on the jokes a little bit, and you should be good. Can't wait until your next one.

The-Swain responds:

I use the word "charm" to mean "amateurish", but in a good way, so I think I know what you mean. But this isn't supposed to be BLOCKHEAD: NEW AND IMPROVED X-TREME! or anything, just because I gave the characters full motion and got a new tablet that lets me draw non-crooked lines.

Fact is, the day of poorly drawn cartoons is over for me :( The Blockhead style is gonna keep changing and evolving, but I promise that this episode was written via the same exact method by which all others were made, and that if you look past the new artwork, you might find a few things that remind you of the old episodes :)

[Super Mario bros Z ep 6 (old series)]

Very good.

Those 3 months of work seemed to have paid off. Since you've delivered another great episode to add to this series. Nice to see the Wario bros make another appearance, since it feels like it's been 2 or 3 episodes since we've seen them. And to see Mecha Sonic kick almost everyone's ass.

Nice to see you using a lot of effects, like the blurring and camera angles, and whatnot. And having stuff going on in both the foreground and the background. I should have expected to see that over 9,000 thing coming sooner or later.

Little bits of humor here and there, which was a nice touch up. Good use of all the voice clips, and sound effects.

Overall, an exceptional job on another good episode. Can't wait to see what you will come up with for the next one.

[MK vs. SF 3]

Not bad.

Everything had a nice glossy finish, so it was nice to look at. The battle was great as well. The backgrounds and effects were good, too. Dialogue was just a tad corny, though. But then again, most people look past that, and look more into the real meat of this flash, which happens to be the battle itself. Apparantly enough, I happen to be one of those people.

Also, Chameleon fights dirty. But if you're fighting against someone like Akuma, I suppose you have to do something if you expect to survive against him.

[Newgrounds Joyride 2007]

Very good.

Nice to see a little of Pico's happy side, rather than the typical trigger-happy Pico we all know and love. The music was catchy, and everything seemed to have a glossy finish, so it was very pleasing to the eye.

Nice to see a lot cameo appearances by characters from popular flashes. I laughed after I saw Pico step on the faces of some of those characters.

Overall, it looked good, but the whole movie in its entirety was great. I liked it, despite how short it seemed. 5/5.
