mrRedux's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stone_Meal]

The art looks okay. The characters bodies are a little skimpy, although I do see you put a lot of detail into the facial expressions. Animations are simple; not a lot of action in terms of what they're doing or the technical aspects of the animation itself. Bending does make it look a little uncanny, so if that was what you were going for, then it works.

But as for your "Everyone will understand it differently" comment, I personally can't understand anything without context. Why are there people on the islands? What's with the dude in the chains? Why the lighthouse? Leaving things open-ended is one thing, but don't expect anyone to come to their own conclusions if they have no idea what's going on in the first place.

The music is nice and low-key, which compliments the gloomy atmosphere of the video you're trying to portray. However, you really should credit them in case someone might like the song and want to look it up on their own time.

ArtemERROR404 responds:

Thanks for the criticism, I heard you)

[Kony 2012]

To be honest, I think that this Kony situation is overblown... There are other generals besides him, like Bosco, for example. However, all I hear about is "OMFG, KONY NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!"

The animation was a little crude, as well as short, but it has a point.

Zachary responds:

Yeah, we really need to stop Hitler imo.

[RWD: Christmas 08]

Erm...

Not to be a negative nuisance or anything, but I found one of the sketches to be a bit anti-semetic... I respect the randomness and all but Aren't you afraid that you could be offending some people?

RadicalWrongDoers responds:

We have a Jew in the team so it's fine.
We are also free to make homosexual jokes and Australian jokes.

We really need a black guy in our crew.

It's fine.

edit: we have tew jews

edit2: omg really? sweet

[Dawn of the Madness]

Did I see...

"Shaun of the dead" in there? I mean I know this is an AWESOME flash film on every account, but I was just wondering if I was right on that account. Perfect zombie film on every account, even if the Gorillaz song (One of my favorite bands, I might add) was a tad bit cut up.

LittleLuckyLink responds:

Yeah, that guy screams for 2 solid minutes I wasn't gonna do that.
And yes you did see shaun of the dead.

[Rocket Crotch]

Personally...

I think the animation is more of "Roald Dahl-meets-Gorillaz" of sorts, well, I like that. I'm not trying to criticize you or anything... BUT 'stop the evil doctor & save the world'...well that git has been done to death.
Now the Mecha-crotch twist...THAT is original!
Kudos to Jiz-erp, Jezza.

lenkalamari responds:

I kinda wanted to build off cliches in a way. Sorta turn them on their head. pixar does it all the time

[Rocket Crotchmas]

"Run, Coward!"

I've noticed that you have a dash of an audio clip from "WE_ARE_THE_STRANGE."
...Was I right?
Or at least CLOSE?!

lenkalamari responds:

that audio is from the arcade game sinistar i think
