Gatsumono's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[left4dead 2: the bad ad]

Aaaalriiiight....

Alright, this was pretty lame. Valve don't usually surf Newgrounds, so if you want to tell them that the Charger is a pussy, then email them.

I didn't see any point in this film at all. This would better suit a blog article, an email to Valve or smething of that matter - not a flash cartoon.

The animation on the other hand is decent. You need to work on shading and movement, though, Proportions are another weak spot of yours. But I really think your Achilles' Heel is the video-sound synchronisation.

I'll rate this 1/5 and star it 2/10 - for good reasoning, not just because I hate this cartoon.

:D

['War']

You've found humor In war, finally.

Wow, this is one of those movies that make you laugh at thigs you wouldn't usually laugh at - without realising it.

As per usual, I love your style of animation, your crude abstract sense of humor and the shorthandedness of your animations. For example, 'Tapir' was short, odd and humorous. Keeping up that style, people would think your stuff would get stale with each new film, but everything just makes me want to break into laughter,

But seriously, anthropomorphic humanois blobs shitting skulls and a moose blowing a snot rocket (lame pun) from it's nose? you couldn't get any funnier. Keep this up, man!

Also, I just have to point out to Sprite-harvester, there was no message. MasterAardvark's videos never have a message - with the exception of 'Tapir'. IT tought me that Tapirs should be able to have the right to vo- OH LOOK, A PLATE.

[GUM]

Quite Intuitive

Wow... Never seen anything like this. The style, the concept, the structure... Wow...

To elaborate, this greatly parts from your other styles. I'm a fan of that sketchy, smooth movement. it gives the impression of a homebrew flip book you used to make as a kid.

The plot and structure were real unexpecting too. I was expecting some horrid disease to corrupt the kid's internal orgams (mmm, gruesome illness), but instead, the gum ended up eating the kid, only to return wrapped up, lying on the sidewalk for the next passer-by. The girl walking past and picking up the gum at the end also added that "what's-going-to-happen-wait-I-alread y-know-but-it-was-interesting-how-it-
cuts-out" atmospere. Like, we know the girl is going to get devoured - we just don't see the aftermath or the devouring. Love that unsuspenseful suspense...

So yeah, I hope you create more stuff like this in the future in ways of plotlines.

[- Move Your Feet -]

Nostalgia Trip!

After watching the original 'Move Your Feet' clip a while ago after a few years, this just made my day.

I love how you seamlessly took the original's style and fused it with your own brand of comedy. It adds that originality and displays the ability to work on and build upon already existing works. The branding at the beginning was also intuitive, showing that "Rtil made this video", and they instantly know who to credit. It just looks so damn tasty.

I did find that the video froze at the scene where the knife falls and cuts the onion, but that might just be my connection. Damn WiFi.

I must say, this deserves 9 stars and a 5/5 rating. I do think you could improve on a gew tiddlybits here and there, but not too big to point out. I just can't put my finger on it... But keep it up!

[Super Meat Boy (intro)]

Ingenious

I have never been a fan of short intros, as they get me too hyped. But this is one exception. I absolutely love the animation techniques, the art style, and the fact that the dialogue is so straight forward (So he beat up Meat Boy).

It just needs little bit more, but I can't put my finger on it. Keep it up!
