Battosai810's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Misinterpretive Porn Star]

Just can't go wrong with this one

You're one of the most talented animators here on Newgrounds and have a fantastic sense of comedic timing. A very enjoyable voice actor too! Having Ego as the narrator just made things that much better, as he's my favorite voice actor here on Newgrounds.

The recurring joke of this flash could have been done very poorly - just segwaying to random events can lead to Family Guy-esque monotony. However, you did it right; having the jokes play well with the character and timing them perfectly.

The art and animation were absolutely fantastic. Not quite as good as they were in Saturday Morning Watchmen, but as you said, you did this one first.

Fantastic work as usual; you've been favorited!

Been done, and better

An Alvin-Earthworm impersonator did "Super Mario bros Z ep.*" a while ago, and it took this idea and made a whole flash out of it. It was actually pretty damn funny, since it was actually like 3 minutes long and not just a little loop of two .jpegs crashing into each other.
If you go full out on this idea it cam be funny, but this is just spam. Shame, really.

[Mad Mad Mario]

Rather vanilla

Advertisement preloader problems aside, I found this flash really difficult to enjoy. Graphically, it looked so-so. It was pretty low quality (even on high) and really didn't have much in the way of animation. Mostly just half decent lip synching.

The writing was pretty dreadful I have to say. It was just a lot of swearing really loud with no sense of comedic timing. What jokes there were were rather predictable, and really didn't have any impact on me. The fact it's a Mario parody telling the same jokes that have been told a thousand times isn't even something I'm factoring into this review - I know you were aware of that going in.

The ad at the end of the credits was funnier than the rest of the toon, but still just a plug to get more money. Nothing totally wrong with that; we could all use a few more bucks in our pockets.

Good luck on your next cartoon, and I hope it's more enjoyable than this one.

Watch it when your drunk. I notice that when some people drink, their bug falls out of their ass.

Entertaining

Graphically, this looked really nice. The characters seemed a little more fluid and solid, which made them look more "alive" on the screen. Granted, they didn't really do much besides sit around, but they looked good doing what they were doing. As to your comment on compressing from Anime Studio - yes, learn flash. It's not too hard and your work will be much better for it.

Humor wasn't absolutely fantastic, but it was pretty funny. I've heard similar jokes before, but you executed them well. The brand of humor itself was also familiar, but still entertaining.

I like that you respond to everyone's reviews. I do it too and people really notice you for it. Keep up the good work, and good luck learning flash!

Stalagmite responds:

thanks man for your positive feed back on this. i see you made a good effort to write it for me.
I did work hard on the graphics. the lip sync mainly. it is what takes all the time up in my opinion.
i am absolutely getting flash asap. because i have fans waiting for the next episode! lol. If i am being honest i was inspired by robot chicken for this scene, so yeah on the BRAND of humour. but actually excusing the ecxessive swearing i didnt actually imitate/adapt anything i had heard before. i guess it is just first come first served with jokes lol. i didnt work too hard on the script. but i work hard on the animation and voice acting. i will definately work at my script. infact i have a writing parnter hopefully. :D:D:D
And yeah. the way i see it. people take their personal time to watch something for us. and then leave a comment. providing it is unoffensive or attitude free, they are more than worthy of response i think. thanks so much for your good positive approach to critiquing my work. you are one of the peeps who make being on this site bearable for me. really.... thanks :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:

[Saturday Morning Watchmen]

Awesome!

Every single aspect of this flash is absolutely fantastic.
Visuals are gorgeous, and the animation was silky smooth.
The song was fantastic too, and I absolutely adored all the inside references that only people who've read the book will know.

I love how Silk Spectre was basically Jewel or Rainbow Brite and Bubastis was like Snarf or Scooby Doo. As someone who grew up watching leftover 80's cartoons and all the great stuff from the early 90's, I really, really appreciated the humor in this.

My only complaint about this flash is that it ends. 5'd and fave'd. Excellent, excellent work.

[Baconnaise]

Funny idea, spotty execution.

The idea of a mayo/bacon spread is a hilarious one. Good concept for a flash. However, the flash itself is lacking.

Graphically, it was very dull, if reasonably clean. The only thing that really looked any good was the baconnaise itself, and that looked like a good Photoshop job. The character was simple and flat, as were the backgrounds.

The real problem I had was the sound. The main character sounded alright and his lip syncing was well animated, but the announcer voice was terrible. It sounded like the voice actor was trying to be loud but without actually being loud. You need to put some cojones in when you're voice acting, or else it sounds weak and amateur. Also, the standard Windows Sound Recorder echo effect is godawful and should never be used. Audacity has higher quality and is also free.

Decent concept - keep working at it!

[Turbo Slurpee Warriors]

Awesome

The graphics were pretty flat, and the animation wasn't fantastic. However, the humor was solid. The self referential plugging of 7-11 products came off as really funny to me. I can't believe I missed this when it was on the front page.

Great work!

[Cyberen Doesn't Pollute]

Cyberen doesn't pollute...

But you pollute the portal with this garbage.
Just a loop of some bodybuilder with a terrible haircut.
Honestly, if you put as much effort into your flashes as you do into your descriptions you'd be pretty well off. This is just awful.
