Mataro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Don't Touch Pac-Man]

I came.

Also, how is this on the front page while still under judgement?

Oh well, it was headed there anyway.

[L4D Short: Starring Louis]

Huh..

Is it just me, or is Louis awfully white?

The choice of stick animation was.. Unfitting. And it was a bit pointless even for a short. That said, the animation itself was actually quite smooth. So a modest 6/10 for the decent enough stick animation, I s'pose. With the amount of detail you put into that carbine, I can't help but wonder why you didn't make the rest of the animation look as good. Oh well.

Nice go anyway. Still had to laugh at chalk white Louis. :X

StealthBeast responds:

I dunno. Is it just me, or is Zoey awfully red?

I trace about in great detail alot of weapons. It's easy really. The rest of the movie stay simple.

[The Test of Doom]

This. This was brilliant.

You have my five, and my ten. What more do you want?

Well, how about my word that I plan to adapt this to a minigame?:X

I watched a few other of your animations. Gravity's Just a Theory 2, thanks to the front page. Then COLOURS, and then I watched this. I must admit. I liked COLOURS more than GJAT2, but this easily topped them both. I got a little bored of GJAT2 and COLOURS because although both cute, they lacked something to keep my attention. The graphics were good, but not aural enough to hold my attention all alone. This on the other hand made up for what it lacked in graphics with good humor. The shoop lazar particularly caught me off guard and I nearly woke up some family laughing :X

My only complaint is that the dance was not as well done as it could have been. Everything else was fine. But this has inspired me to pick up making games. I've wanted to for a while now, but this definitely pushed me over the edge. And I think making a minigame out of this would be a great way to start. I hope you don't mind. When it's done, I'll let you know, and give you a link to it. Thanks for the inspiration, Oggy. Job well done. :D

Oggy-cheese responds:

I'm glad you liked it and I was able to inspire you! Good luck with the game, I look forward to playing it :D

[Virus Alert - "Weird Al"]

Decent.

It's been ages since I have reviewed flash.. Really.

I only really reviewed this one to respond to the guy who said Weird Al is a moron.. A nut, maybe. But it takes a lot of talent and intelligence to make a song complete with parodying lyrics within the confines of someone else's.. Not only do you have to use the same melody and instrumentals, AND create coherent lyrics.. Those lyrics must rhyme with the original lyrics. That's quite the task.

Anyhow, as for the animation itself, I found I couldn't really enjoy it because I found it hard to make out some of the vocals.. As well as the lip-syncing being off, it made it difficult to see it as very fluid.. Some of the visual humor might have been better with smoother animation.. But it's clear that a lot of work was put into this, so congrats on the effort.

4/5. Nothing spectacular, but better than a lot of other stuff. Good luck!

[A Sleepover]

For having par animation,

it was incredibly funny. And I'll go ahead and (likely) be the first guy to say it is damn cute :D. My only problem is that the ending shoud have been harsher, more impact? The main theme of the game? I don't know, I personally haven't played it but it should definately be the real song :D. In any case, it was still excellent. Good job ^^.

[Gameboy]

This was oddly funny,

Just when you think its a lame attempt at humour, you end up cracking up, and repeat. Thats how this basically went lol. But of course I gotta love it, its got my music in it >.>. Lol, well the first couple of seconds, T.T lol. Oh well, thanks alot for using my stuff, nice job ^^. 4/5.

Chaossal responds:

Yeah well thats because we are cool.

[TANKMEN: Target Practice]

That was so gay,

that you just have to laugh. Nice job, the only thing that bugged me was their heads bobbing about as they talked, and the volume was slightly, random.. Lol. I was smiling throughout it until the tank flipped. Then I cracked up lmao =D. Nice job, The sound problem, though clear, was hard to understand. If that makes any sense at all =p. Good job, and one of the better tankmen parodies I've seen, good luck with your future stuff ^^. 4/5.

-Review Request Club-

fadedshadow responds:

thank you good sir, i'm currently working on a music video which should hit newgrounds sometime before october

[Fractal Thinking]

Heh..

Its supposed to make you think right? Well there is not enough diversity in it I'm afraid, srry, try again. You got my 2.

[The Adventures of Steve 1]

Contrary to what many people are saying..

Don't change the animation style! It fits flawlessly with the style, its cheesy and that makes it all the better, very strange, but great! The voices are horrid, but that also just adds on to the hilarity! Congratulations on a rather different animation, and an intro which reminded me all too much of Austin Powers, and Anchor Man. Great stuff ^^.
