Thetageist's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Scottish Trainer's Revenge]

This thing had me absolutely wheezing. There are no imperfections to this animation. It is the best.

[Every Printer Ever]

This was really funny! I love it! I can't really see much in terms of its flaws - don't know why the protagonist looks like a green piece of toast but that's just me - and its humor was quite great! I especially loved the part where the printer made weird odd faces to go with the printer noises. That was an amusing animation choice. I quite like this overall.

[A Totally Legit Wind Waker Speedrun]

That was quite odd but very humorous. The animation is pretty well done, although I didn't understand many of the jokes and the plot. I probably would've rated higher if I did. But still, pretty good animation.

[Hightower My Power]

Pffff! That was kind of random, not that I haven't learned not to expect any sort of plot from TF2 animations, but it was good! Animated very well and I quite like the slightly exaggerated style of animation. Overall, this was quite co-medic. *badum tss*

[Meet me at NG]

Awww! This is the cutest thing! I love this advertisement and the way that it depicts Newgrounds as an actual place, and the excitement of a new user at discovering all that the site has to offer! I would totally send this to someone looking to join.

[SPOILERS]

[Spoiler warning for this animation!] This is hilarious beyond compare! Hang on while I laugh for a second... I really love the premise of overexaggerating the perception of spoilers. I also love all of the stuff that makes it even better, like the artistic choices of having the spoilers be colored red (whereas everything else is black and white) and giving them that funny "spoooiiiilllleerrrr" sound effect. I was not expecting that. Overall, I love this.

[Diacrisis Trailer]

I finally decided to check this out for real, and it's pretty intriguing. This trailer is mostly well done, so this review is mainly about what it shows the game is like. However, I'm wondering if the trailer maybe took too long to demonstrate the game's uniqueness beyond introducing it as a zombie game (see below). Some people might click away before that happens if they don't think they're seeing anything new. Furthermore, the trailer doesn't seem to show how the game is horror rather than just "gun action", as you put it. Even the choice of music implies badassery rather than terror to me. Now, on to the game. I actually quite like that you're up for the challenge of making a horror game without realistic graphics or first person view. Furthermore, it originally looked like it was going to be just another zombie game, but it looks like there's actually more depth to the plot, given how I saw shots of some of the prisoners alive... and a guy on a cross engulfed in flames (supernatural at work?) and some neo-Nazi dude?! About him, if he has any spoken lines that have to do with his bigotry, please be sure that you can pull it off well, because otherwise it becomes that game-ruining "gotta have Nazis" cliche. Also, I didn't manage to catch it in the other shots, but in the shot of him raising the axe, both swastikas depicted are backwards. One more nitpicky detail, but I'm thinking maybe you could change the protagonist's last name to something more realistic, just in case that little bit of cheesiness/badassery undermines the horror atmosphere. Overall, this has some good potential, and I look forward to not playing it because I'm a wuss. ;)

Alucard responds:

Thanks my man!!

[Mother's Waltz]

This is, so far, the most heartwarming thing I've seen on Newgrounds. I especially applaud the use of body language, sounds, and that brief view into the anxious boy's mind, to convey emotion without any spoken lines whatsoever. The animation style really matches the content - it's cartoony and lovable, with soft colors. I love this so much.

[Syx's Title Screen]

This is really freaky, super detailed, overall very professional-looking and I love it! Maybe a different font would've made it cooler, but that's not too big of an issue.

[Great Destiny Man and the Shadow of TREACHERY]

Snrk. I definitely can pick up the intentionally tropey vibes on this. Doesn't really stand out to me much in any other way, but oh well, it was good for a chuckle. The animation quality is pretty good. Nice job.
