El-Cid's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness Antipathy]

. . .

You've managed to make me feel that the protagonist is now the antagonist.

Jesus Christ, Krinkles. =)

[Become Anniversary Collab]

Fan-freaking-tastic.

That was a visual treat. Very very creative ideas. This rocks to the n-th.

MackProductions responds:

thanks! You've got some nice animation skills yourself

[TANKMEN-Snakes on a Plane]

Huh?

Nice visuals. They looked really clean. Props.

Bad overall idea though in my opinion. The audio itself was funny, but it was purely stand alone. I would have appreciated it more, if it wasn't tied down to an animation with Tankmen.

I suppose the only punchline that was creative was redefining snakes as penises, hence the Tankmen. But it felt really drawn out, just to make that corellation. Every other joke relied on the original unrelated punchlines.

Keep flashing though. You have talent.

[NG Assassin Ep3]

Blehh.

Yeah, I could have enjoyed a flash movie where a bunch of Newground icons get ripped to shreds, but this movie was executed way too subpar. You had some good ideas, but they fell flat with the pacing/timing.

I can enjoy watching some good violence, hell, even pointless violence, but it has to be done smoothly. Otherwise, your ideas are kind of presented straight forwardly, and if they aren't good ones (like the whole premise this flash), then it sucks.

[The Story of Clock Day]

SWEET

This was awesome. I felt like a 3rd grader again having a book read to me by the librarian. There's something theraputic about this format.

And classic clock humor. I busted out with the children shoe's comments.

Bravo, good sir.

[The Clock War: Part III]

Bag of mixed clocks

I must say, this was a good entree.

The graphical style was pretty sweet. They looked like they were drawn in a comic book/graffiti style. Very slick.

It felt very cinematic and was paced well for what is was: a serious, dramatic conclusion. The music also complimented this very well.

But that's the biggest flaw of the whole thing. It's the friggin' clock crew. When I watch a clock movie, I don't want the animation to try and conjur up such a somber mood. And I sure as hell don't watch clock movies to remember to "love thy neighbor."

I think as of late, there are too many clock movies that are taking themselves WAY too seriously.

That's missing the whole point.

But again, as a short film, it was pretty fantastic. Kudos.

[Billy's Rock Rampage]

WTH?

Hah. Worth a laugh at least.

DAIRYDOG responds:

THAT'S THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT!
