Megaphor's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Egorapture]

I just love your animating style, dude. You mimick Egoraptor's artistic and chaotic style insanely well, and mad props for getting him to do to the voicing. The credit reel is also genius, seeing how these asshole viewers automatically rate "0" on any submission ( good or not ) that remotely comes close to capturing the look and feel of Egoraptor's animations. Great choice of music at the credits as well.

My only gripe was that knocking on the Bible was a bit much. I can take a joke, though. You're my new favorite artist. Keep up the great work!

[American Pokemon]

I'm still a fan of you, JohnnyUtah.

I wouldn't say that I am not at fault with poking fun at subject matters like being fat, singing bad, being illiterate with reading, etc., but these kind of things are something can most normal people can help themselves about. Even with racism and sexism, people can defy being stereotyped and be something unique and different.

But, terminally ill children with cancerous tumors...? They can't help them. Their parents can't help them. Nobody can help them. It's very sad and I've been with all kinds of these people and their families.

I'm not here to give you a guilt trip. You definitely are a great artist, you and your animations are very distinctive and amazing. Many of your previous works have genuinely made me laugh as well. It's just that you tried to shine the humorous light on something that's extremely dark and sad to a lot of people. You are forgiven, and I sincerely wish you the best of luck on your future projects.

JohnnyUtah responds:

i promise no cancer next time.

[Girlshan in Paradise Ep4.]

Really...?

You made a basic flash. Great! Your next step is to read up on what an actual 'parody' is, and keep in mind that this kind of stuff is often looked down upon on NG.

That should explain everything.

PilotKitty responds:

STOP STOP STOP!!!! Stop giving me low rating assholes!!

[Fuck Bitxhez Get 40Ouncez]

Well...

The plot itself isn't bad. You probably could've made a decent flash out of it.

Unfortunately, the execution is pretty poor. For starters, please fix your sound. The song itself might be okay for this movie, but sound optimization counts more to a flash than you may think. Music blaring to the point when a viewer has to turn down the volume is bad enough, but the music is not in any decent quality.

As for the flash itself ( and the author comments ), misspelled words are often looked down upon in the NG community and many other places on the internet. This is your first flash, so at least you got the very basics of animating and all down. But, all Flash based tool programs ( let alone AF CS4 ) are plenty capable of producing better than this. Please try again.

["Yesterday" The Beatles]

Touching.

This is a good flash, and really... who can say no to the Beatles? The darkly colored graphics and the story told in the flash really reflect the sad atmosphere of the song. You may want to compress your movie down some. The animation, although good, is a little on the minimal side and the song quality is iffy.

Just polish up these things. You have a true gem here.

[How hell looks like ex476]

Nicely done!

The ending probably could've used something more other than 20+ seconds of alarm. Other than that, this looked and animated nicely, and it's pretty original. Well done!

[12345]

You've got potential...

Personally, I actually liked it. You have something here to build upon.

The 90's Disney flicks are filled with suggestive material, so making a parody along those lines would be great. You have the art down; maybe make the animation a little faster.

What you should do, if you ever decide to make a 'Demented Disney' series, is make more lengthier parodies that summarize a given movie in a nutshell. A good example would be Ukinojoe's "Indiada Jodes". Also try to work on the voice acting and add more sound effects.

All in all, a decent submission. Here's hoping for a series to bloom out.

[Purgatory Pizza!]

Woah.

I simply love how this movie makes several nods to the old school type things. While the animation is not terribly special, your art style and unique sense of humor have made this lengthy movie stand out as a breath of fresh air among the NG flashes.

Needless to say, very well done. :-)

Sound-O-Vision responds:

Thank you for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed Purgatory Pizza :D

[Chris & Harry]

Amazing!

This is one of the best flashes I have seen on Newgrounds in a while.

Your nonstop effort clearly shows in this flash. I mean, just the animation is impressive enough... but the DragonballZ like fighting and funny as hell moments is like the icing on an already delicious cake ( and not the coconut kind, haha ).

Dare I say... you are on par with Egoraptor?

[How Far is Heaven?]

Mixed feelings...

This is one of those flashes that I don't have any specific feelings toward.

Not that this flash was bad. I actually liked it. The flash does sport some neat visuals and art, and you picked a good song. I didn't really notice a plot or story in the flash, however. It seems to have been constructed out of random animations and repeating frames. That's probably why the flash started to drag and lose it's spark after maybe halfway through. There really wasn't much to the ending at all except a looping animation of someone playing guitar on the screen for about 1.5 minutes.

Try not to repeat segments of animation for long periods of time, and give some plot or story to your animations. All in all, a solid submission.
