Rabid-Echidna's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Guide to being review mod]

Kind of reminds me

Of all the M-Bot messages I get, telling me my reviews have been deleted because I told a popular author that his flash was terrible, or just for no real reason at all.

And yet KW4571CK$13KAA8VS remains able to tell every flash authr that ever makes anything how their flash was "pretty good" and that he "thought it could use some improvement in a few areas," but that "overall he liked it."

Sir-CannabisClock responds:

extreemely well said words of incredible truth and sincerity.

[=Phoenix Wright Tribute=]

Surpasses the original

Due to the presence of actual animation and the fact that it's actually funny.

[Alliance Seizure Collab]

An epic masterpiece

Those epileptics don't know what they're missing.

Cold responds:

I should make a seizure collab [epileptic edition]. Of course, then it would completely suck.

[Madness Depredation]

Very nice.

Heh...Only passed judgement a few minutes ago (With my help) and it's already on the front page, and I can't in any way say that the position is undeserved. Although there are plenty of people that seem to think that your skills in flash have stayed the same more or less, I've noticed how much you've improved since your earlier episodes of the Madness series. Although your movies could be regarded as "nonsensical violence," they're still some of the best that Newgrounds has to offer.

I like how much the series has sped up since the earlier episodes, and I think it really shows in this one. The action seems far more frantic due to increased framerate and planning, and that gives it the certain "Madness feel" to it. The animation is great. The attention to detail is as good as always, to the point where you see each individual bullet fly out of the guns even though there's usually about 3 people shooting on the screen at the same time, as well as the shells. I like how the camera moves about as well, be it scene transitions, or that effect of swooping around, it all adds to the overall feel of the movie. Although the character models are simplistic, they're all well drawn, as are the guns, and backgrounds. Just about everything seems to have improved since the last entry, and when the last entry was exceptional as well, that can only be a good thing.

As for the sound, the soundtrack was well chosen, from the infiltration music at the beginning to the ending fight song. Each gun has individual sound effects for it's shots, and the effects are all in perfect place. I tend to often overlook the sound in flashes since it never really stands out, but the way that it adds to this flash is more than I can say for most.

The violence, which would be the main theme for the entire series, is basically unrivaled on Newgrounds. The entire series revolves around being fast paced and excessively violent without much plot, and you've mastered it to the point where a story has little meaning, and people love it anyway. You are truly a master of your craft, so much that when you made this it hit the front page fater than anything I've ever seen before.

Too bad now I have to wait for the next one again, in which Hank will probably come back made entirely out of bandages.

Krinkels responds:

HOT PISS!1

Sorry....

Thanks for the review!!! Glad you liked it.

Needless to say, you have left me quite aroused!

[Milk Bandages]

That was fucking terrible.

It's like one of those cartoons that came out at around the time Looney Tunes did, and attempted to make something reminiscent of it except failed miserably at the humor. That's what this was. It really shows that even when you have 3 people working on a flash - 1 writer, a good animator and a decent voice actor - all it takes is one of them to bring the entire thing down, the writer in this case. Never have I seen such dry and worthless humor, not even in LegendaryFrog's submissions.

I'm fully willing to admit that the graphics are strictly above average in this, since you had a good animator for it, although I feel like his talent went completely to waste. It looked sort of like the style you would see in an early 90's middle school educational video about why you should eat your breakfast or something like that. Not in any way bad.

Voice acting was decent, but there's not much more to say about it. Then there's that music you probably took from an 80's film about the wonders of technology, which I suppose is fitting.

As for the humor, it fails in every way humor can fail, and that isn't a good thing when your attempted humor is the entire base for your flash project. Chris Rusk had the brilliant idea of thinking about writing something about bruised milk, filling the entire animation with long pauses that make everything even less funny than they already would be, and then ending the animation leaving you wondering why these 3 people even bothered releasing the flash. Hell, he even threw in an angry toaster because we all know that angry toasters are hilarious. It might not have been completely terrible if you didn't have an entire scene that serves absolutely no purpose and is dedicated to the guy standing there rubbing his chin and not looking at his milk. "Tastes delicious!" Great ending.

What crap. Let Robert Levine go animate for somebody who can actually write something worthwhile.

mumbla responds:

Woah, you went all out on reviewing an amatuer flash.
I like working for mr. rusk though. he's a fun fun guy! we may not be professional writers, but if one of our submissions can make the front page, then that tells me we are doing something right.

plus he gives me cookies.

[Manga-Gaga 100 Omake]

This was mucking around?

Then I'd like to see what you can make when you're actually serious about making something. There are very few users on Newgrounds that can animate as well as you can.

The style of this, as many are probably going to say, very closely resembles "num1000 512kb cache mix," which you can also find on this site. But then again, I really wouldn't know what else you would come up with when you base a flash around that song. Your version is good, his version is good. That's becuase it's a good song to base an anime themed flash on.

As I said, there are very few authors on this site that have the animation skills that you do. Hopefully you'll get some of the recognition of all the other artists with exceptional drawing skills, most of which have movies in the top 50 of all time. Especially you just made this while you were "mucking around." I generally tend to think of flashes made that way turning out rather pathetic, not ending up with a portal award and a pot on the front page. With your artistic talent, I hope to see more submissions from you.

As for the audio, yes, it's the same song in the flash I mentioned above. Still high quality sound as well. It's a good choice of music if you're making anything like this. If you have any other flashes that you're going to submit here, I hope you have a good microphone. I've seen a bunch of flashes that can be made a lot worse with a bunch of sputtering sounds whenever the person talks.

With that, I just hope you submit more flashes. It's good to see a good movie once in awhile among the endless amounts of crap that inundate the portal every day.

GagaMan responds:

I have flash skills? As I've said before, this was mainly me just farting about with the program seeing what I could pull of using that music, but cheers anyway ^^

And don't worry, I have plenty (much more orignal) flash animations planned for the future.

[Sin and Repentance]

HAHHAHHHAHAHHAA

That's right, you get a 10 for humour, since I was laughing uncontrollably at the very beginning when the guy got down on his knees and said "Dear lord, what is sin, and what is repentance?" Which prompted a black jesus to appear out of the sky wearing a dress, who then continued to start talking, with really long pauses in between his sentences. Oh, and the part where I got to burn in hell at then end was great too. Looks like my disrespect for the leader of your cult is going to send me to a pit of fire for eternity.

Trust me when I say this. Newgrounds is one of the worst places you could have submitted this flash, becuase the site is filled with people like me who will just make fun of your religeon. An athiest and a christian can get in an argument, and both will go home knowing they are both reight. With that said, stop trying to convert me. I don't care if your god expresses his undying love for me by sending me to hell for eternity.

You really should make the graphics better, even if it isn't the point of the flash. Watching ghetto-jesus float there and quote his favorite book is hardly good animation. You should also get rid of the really long pauses inbetween his sentences. That just makes it more tedious that it already is.

Ann yeah yeah, I know. God bless you.

Cajunspirit responds:

Glory to God in the highest brother! I will pray for you!
