reverend's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mammoth]

Great!

I really enjoyed this movie especially its simplicity. It's really an imaginative and creative piece that was very pretty interesting to watch. I really love the use of sounds in lue of speech to carry the story. I thought that was a very nice take. Some of the images were a little to simplistic at times, but that didn't really take away from the overall story. As for the story itself it was very creative and imaginative.

All in all a good movie. Keep up the good work!

[Earthbound: Pokey Returns]

Pretty good!

A very interesting Earthbound movie if I must say. As a huge fan of Earthbound I was really intrigued by this move. The animation is pretty good and you had some nice creativity with the lip-syncing. The whole plot was simple and random, but was okay. It might have been more true to form if you had the Runaway Five included in some way, but alas. As for the music, it was an interesting pick but I guess that goes with the whole randomness of the movie. Also, I agree that the Theed Zombie music should have been used instead of Mr. Saturn's Hi Hi Hi song; to make it more ominous sounding.

Overall, it's a pretty entertaining movie and I enjoyed it. Nice job!

Thank you very much for the review.

Originally I did use the Threed music, but after watching it a few times, it didn't really give me what I wanted for the scene. I really wanted to give the feeling of goofyness and confusion for the scene, so I thought Mr.Saturn would have fit well.

I thought about putting in the Runaway Five, but I had so many sprites in the end, I had to pick and choose which ones to use while I made it. Although this was my first EB project, so doesn't mean the Runaway Five won't show up in the future ones.

Thanks again for the review, take care.

[Across The Universe]

Outstanding!

This movie has always been a personal favorite for me for the longest time. It's really difficult to say how really amazing this movie is and how complex it really makes a person feel when they watch it. Between the song Sleep by The Dandy Warhols and the imagery that you show it really produces a mix array of images like a dream. From start to end you always are intrigued by the adventure the protagonist until you see how he meets his real end.

It's still one of the most amazing movie I've seen on this site and this is one of my personal favorites. Thank you for making it and sharing it.

[A Newgrounds Christmas]

Awesome

I really love your take on a Newgrounds Christmas party. The animation was superb and was very well put together. It's amazing that you were able to compile not only some great characters, but also their voices too. There wasn't much of a story but rather just a showcase for a bunch of NG characters; which isn't bad but it could use some direction to go in. Overall it is a nice little fun tribute and I enjoyed it very much. Keep up the great work!

thanks man! and dont worry, i know it wasnt going anywhere. i guess thats the point :P

[Bound on Earth]

Pretty Good

I really enjoyed this move being an Earthbound fan also. The animation is well done and very vivid not to mention the voice acting was suburb. The story is short, perhaps too brief, but it really shows some of the 'uniqueness' of the The Mad Duck, which can be said for most of the enemies of Earthbound. Overall a nice a little movie.

I hope to see some more good work, hopefully more Earthbound/Mother movies, from you in the future.

[Frost'D]

Funny

A very funny movie in a uncanny way. The animation is well animated and the voice acting is outstanding. But what I really love is how you turned a Christmasy picturesque scene to one of utter horror and terror; that was absolutely amusing. Overall a really nice heart-warming Christmas movie; per se. Ha! Keep up the great work!

[With My Mind's Madness]

Wonderful

I really enjoyed this animation and it is really a nice spin on the madness series. The animation, even though as you mentioned looked a little rough, it's still very good. The song fits well and does add to the imagery of the overall movie. Overall the story is very novel and the battle scene is very entertaining; I really enjoyed watching it.

[magical-zorse adventure]

Interesting..

A very odd and trippy adventure that Zorse went on. The movie was short but interesting and very humorous. I love the narration, it really helped to try and keep everything tied together. The best part of this movie is definitely the music; a very nice pick. I enjoyed it very much. Keep up the good work.

I had about 4 choices for songs, then I searched 8-bit and upbeat and it was the only one that came up. I instantly chose that to be the song.

your review was interesting....ly awesome... :DDDDDDd

[the Last of the Dashkin]

Outstanding

I'm amazed by your work but this is an outstanding take on the series. I really love the fact that you are actually trying to incorporate some overall plot to the stories to make it more than just a few random shorts of Bitey.

The animation is always astonishing with each detail skillfully laid out and the music is always impressive and very fitting. The narration is fine and if you keep it short and to the point for the next one, it will be just right. Overall amazingly done and keep up the great work!

[*We Didn't Start the Fire]

Nice

I really enjoyed this music video and it's a really nice adaptation of 'We didn't Start the Fire'. The way that everything lined up and the imagery that you used really worked and fit nicely. I would have to say that it would be best, as you state, if you could take out the real pictures; they tend to take away from the the flow of things. But overall it's a really good video and I enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.
