El-Cid's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[DucktaleZ 3]

Holy Canoli

Wow, I'm experiencing a lot of feelings right now, and like a pubescent kid, I don't know how to interpret these feelings.

This animation just came totally out of left field. The idea seemed retarded, but after a minute of watching it, you shattered my preconceptions. I was transfixed.

And here's the thing, I was transfixed for 18 minutes. I didn't even realize the time pass, which is quite a feat as most NG animations are pushing it when they hit 10 minutes. Oh sure, at times I would kind of step back and think, "WTF? Vegeta and Scrooge?" but the sheer quality of the work would suck my right back in.

And I have to ask this loaded question: Why? You spend a considerable amount of time on making an amazing looking flash based on an idiotic idea. I guess that's what my brain is still trying to process.

Either way, EXCELLENT work. I tip my hat to you sir. You are good.

[Banjo-Threeie]

Me like.

Hey good going! I'd say you did Banjo justice. This was entertaining and very amusing. Good voice work and some very funny moments.

Good jorb!

[Power Star]

Dang.

Awesome Mario fighting sprites/poses. I haven't seen those before. They looked really cool.

Good Luigi voice acting. Nice special effects. Creative violence. This was almost a Madness Mario style.

Looking forward to more.

[Madness Depredation]

Willikers

This Madness gave me the hibby-jibbies.

I hold Apotheosis in a special place in my heart, but this one is sheer l33tness as well. It's just a bit unsettling. Freakin' clown.

[MGS3: Boss Failures]

Ugh.

Wow, this was about on the scale of Legendary Frog. . .and that's why I disliked it so much.

There were the typical cheesey jokes that only work because of everyone's nostalgic feelings toward a good video game.

There was the typical whiny pseudo British voice.

There was the annoying in-your-face-laugh-at-this-repetitive-joke ("Box-Eater!" == "To Rule them All!").

I say no to Hollywood. This doesn't deserve a 4.20

[Lil' Pengy Ep.2]

Brilliant!

That was really something. I must say, your facial animations, and overall character animations are awesome. Very pro! Excellent work.

The writing was also very funny. It was one long weird-gay-man joke, but it was entertaining. I cracked up when he started flying in that dream world. I could easily see this as being just a segment in a longer Pengy movie. . . and THAT would be stellar.

Good job.

[OPS!]

Bravo! Bravo!

Very stylish. It actually made me feels something for the Storm Trooper. I will never watch Star Wars the same way again.

War is an ugly thing.

[Nutsy & Klutsy: Ep. 1]

Phhffft!!

There's a difference between being influenced by a work and being a straight up knock-off. The similarities between this and R&S are too blalant. I've seen the exact same scenarios and jokes before, except with better visuals and MUCH better voice acting.

Kudos for a decent looking toon, but my thumb still points to China.

[TmsT's Zero Wing Rhapsody]

"Fo-hor grea-hate just-icccce. . . "

Darn you! I had this song stuck in my head for days and the worst part of it was I couldn't share it with anyone. How could I possible start singing "Somebody set up us the bomb, somebody set us the bomb. We get signal. Whaaahaaat " at the cafeteria.

Overall good. I'm glad you grabbed this idea and ran with it.

TmsT responds:

I know some people who sing it randomly in public on their own, just to unashamedly freak people out. :D

[Tail Chasers]

That wuz tight.

You sir have a serious artistic eye. Awesome video and audio synchronizing as usual. Cool original characters as well.

The pencil drawn look had its pros and cons. I liked it for the introduction of the characters, but the last racing scene didn't seem as exciting with this sketched look.

Eitherway it was fantastic. It makes me want to see an actual episode!

Way to go!
