El-Cid's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Metal Gear: Cheater]

Nah

Pretty fruity. An entire flash based on a single joke that isn't funny to begin with.

Shadowii2 responds:

"Fruity" is quite odd word for describing but thanks for your review.

[rtil_gayness.swf]

wow

Having seen the original, this made me lol.

AlmightyHans responds:

:vD

[The Press & Punch Collab]

badass

Awesome collaberation idea. I was not expecting such a big shift in style between the artists, but that made it sweet. The uber-graphic style was awesome, so props to whoever did that. Also, I didn't see the live action video coming. Really clever.

Bravo, you guys.

AlmightyHans responds:

hey thanks dude, makes me real happy coming from you. but i dunno what you mean by uber-graphic style...

[Metal Gear Awesome 2.5]

Dude.

That was not a only a good parody, in a way that parodies are inherently funny, but it also made me laugh just with it's sheer ridiculousness.

But why did you censor Tricky?!!?! :(

Carbonwater responds:

Would you rather see Tricky's wang?

[Short Flash about Bill M.]

EPIC

Wow. That was most satisfying. Beautiful. Just, beautiful.

ZombieLincoln responds:

Mooi =)

[Awesome Compilation Vol 6]

cool

I gotta say, although you rely on video games as a huge crutch for your fanbase, you are actually very funny and entertaining. Also, your work is getting better with each iteration. Keep getting better, and eventually try something original. You've got potential.

Egoraptor responds:

Thanks, I'm working on it!

[How 2 Succeed on NG]

A little bitter aren't we?

You make some good points, but it doesn't bode well with me simply because you get very transparent.

For instance, you spend so long on your examples of what not to do (Half Life parody). So long, that it begins to feel like you actually are getting into your depictions of crap flashes. Like you are enjoying the direction it's going in.

You make a cock joke after listing it as a cheap way to get a laugh. You make fun of all the anime impersonators, but you're style is clearly a by product of it. I just get the impression that you are your own worst enemy. Your internet meme's and blatant self promotion don't help either. I smell a rat.

Good intention, but you're not the man for this job.

BiffTheTimid responds:

The HL2 bit ran a bit long, there is no debate about that. The cock joke was an attempt at irony, since I had stated before on the list that cock jokes would help someone succeed. Obviously I have at least proved my point even if the joke failed on you. As for the blatent self promotion, hahah.... yeah, I really liked that drawing so I put it up. I figured only a couple hundred people would see it anyways. Oh, and Squirrel Gets Biked 2 was a good time. The scream was priceless.

[Super explosive Mario 64]

What the fuck?

Complete waste of time.

I don't have a beef with video submissions, so long as they have creative/original content. Get this shit off of here.

UltramasterBDJ responds:

I remember that in the past, I enjoyed at least two pieces of your work, "Mario Kart Underground" and "MegaMan VS Quickman". Too bad you didn't enjoy mine, but oh well.

But "get this shit off of here"?

Well, excuse me.

I am aware that making a flashmovie is usually more work than making these kind of "hacking movies", as I have spend 6 to 8 months on a flash project myself, and I am aware that you are probably a much better and more experienced flashartist than me as well.

It's too bad you didn't like it, 'k, but I feel very sorry you completely fail to see the creative effort in this. v_v

[Pico's Time Tank]

Niiiice

Pretty sweet. Animation quality was a bit roller coaster, but overall it was cool. As a whole this doesn't touch Pico's Unloaded.

The-Swain responds:

Hey, who's trying to replace Unloaded? At best, the winners of this contest are thanking The Maker that they weren't all bumped down a ranking because Mindchamber had submitted a sequel or something :D

Glad you liked, though. Not bad for a first-try at action cartooning, eh? :D

[Shamoozal: Man-Bot]

Blehhh . . .

Seeing as how you handled yourself so gracefully to some constructive criticism with my last review, I thought I'd probe that newly discovered nerve of yours.

This had very clean animation. It's a well executed blend of tweening and fbf. The secondary motion and subtle follow through brings the robot to life. The backdrops were also above average.

The content leaves a lot to be desired though. I really couldn't muster up a laugh. It's a strange paradox to see such nice visuals with content that lacks real punch.

And it's funny to think you accused me of being juvenile when the biggest gag in this toon was a robot poking a woman's ass.

If you are content with getting your dick stroked by adolescent male NG users, that's fine. Just admit to it. But you should quit acting like one and lashing out to viewers who are keen enough to see where you need polishing. The view from inside your ass won't help you get any better.

Shamoozal responds:

I've only got one thing to clear up. Other than the camera work, and one shot at the end with MB's arm, there were no tweens used.

Thank you.
