Renegade-Hamster's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bunnykill 5 Part 1]

Fantastic, looking forward to part 2

The action started out good, but it really started to get interesting once Dust was injected with that rage fluid. It was a pretty exciting dynamic having Snowball defending against Dust, while also not wanting to hurt him, and trying to lead him out of the facility, killing the enemies while keeping an eye on Dust, and letting him mow into the enemies in his mindless rage. Dust's weapon was an added treat.

Loved it!

[SHORT Terminator Parody]

A title screen is not a parody

Fun, but it's not even long enough to be called a short.

Good looking stuff here, but it would be good if there was something more than a title screen. i.e. a skit or two, or a funny story.

P.S. Make sure you haven't accidentally uploaded a SCENE swf of your flash movie, instead of the FULL MOVIE swf file.

[Mdi - Random Shmandom]

Lots of random, not a lot of funny

I didn't really think it was funny. There seemed to be a lot of punchlines without set-up, or a lot of jokes without punchlines.

"What a beautiful day-WHOA I'M PREGNANT" is not so much a joke as it is a set-up for a possibly humorous skit, but it moves on before it does anything with the idea.

I get that it's meant to be quick humour going for shock laughs, but it was all so predictably unpredictable. What I mean is there was no time to build up audience expectation and either fulfil or subvert that expectation. A lot of humour is in surprise, but when you know what's coming (or when you have no idea what is happening ever), it's a lot less funny.

An example of fast skit humour that works (for the most part) is the Laser Collection. Each skit had the expectation of someone getting blown away by a laser, and then it riffed on that expectation.

This is just a series of non-sequiters. Some people will find that funny, but it just fell flat with me.

[Best School Day Ever]

Fantastic, man!

Loved the character design of the monster and the champion, as well as the doodler who made it happen. I'm a sucker for stories where drawn things come to life, and this was a really nice take on it. I especially like that it made internal sense, and wasn't just another "random fight" cartoon without reason. The doodler creates a monster by accident, craps his pants, then creates a champion to fix the problem.

Well-paced and fun!

[SS - Chakras]

Pseudoscience in a slideshow

This starts off alright when it's talking about light, colour, and the spectrum, and actually using facts and figures to back up its statements. It loses me when it starts talking about Chakras and fails to do the same.

[Come To Australia]

I am offended :(

People will want to come here because of how great your cartoon makes it look, and be completely unprepared for the real danger.

You want to know what keeps the dragodile populations in check? Drop bears. Cute as koalas. Will kill you ten times before you blink.

Okay, this is not much of a review so far. Um... I like it, and people should see it, because it has funnies. There.

["ClayExulT" WIP]

Cool animated short, very fluid

It was pretty cool, I liked it. Rewatched it twice :)

[SailorMan]

Goes by mercifully quickly

I did like the frenetic energy and loose animation style, but there was too much reliance on "lol random" boob shots and gross-out humour.

It felt like the cartoon was going by really quickly so if viewers didn't laugh at something, they didn't have to wait too long for the next joke, but that only works if any of the jokes are actually funny.

I felt the constant yammering and improvised, overlapping dialogue was just awful. I didn't laugh even once.

[The Facebook Poke War]

The plot of this cartoon is a complete lie

I threw a missile at my computer screen, and all it did was destroy my computer. You should put a disclaimer.

[What the fuck, Japan?]

I didn't like it

Synopsis: "Japan is being weird, God destroys their weirdness with earthquake and tsunami"

The good: Animation is nice and smooth, audio is good fun, and I liked the art style.

The bad: Didn't think the joke was funny, since it's based on a real disaster, and because of the racist attitude and obvious contempt for the men, women, and children of Japan who are dead, or dying, or displaced, or in agony.
