lethaltimes's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[R.I.P Tony Danza]

A flash barf bag filled with speckled content.

Um... I was thinking all the stuff you put in your warning BEFORE the animation was over. Aside from the saccharine music track, all the stills were a complete affront to my eyes and the sight of Bob Saget -- and a poorly animated one, at that -- was enough to make me seethe.

I'll be fine once I stop wasting time writing this review. Then it will all be over. Yay.

[Ninja - Episode 2]

Stay Turned?

I kinda like the sparse, Deadly Towers look to it... unfortunately the accompanying script was similar to the look.

Not much more than an animation of the mandatory sword-drawing sound, but not completely horrible. Good in a goofy kind of way.

[Four Letter Word]

A solid sophomore effort...

A passable video for the song... but kinda reminds me of Timecube references. Sound quality was wretched, and not much in the way of cutting humor, but the effort shows to a decent degree.

Almost on a level with David Firth

The theme of the work was comparatively obtuse, definitely bleak. Very heavy-handed. Usually that's a good thing but stuff was slightly off for some reason. The dizzying view from the rooftop was really good though, and the pathetic fallacy of the clouds behind the man as he raised the cinder block was bluntly effective.

Best of all, I think, was the ending audio. Beyond weird to the point of genius.

Well done overall, a big leap in maturity from Reading Rainbow (which was still really well done).

[Tin:The Incompetent Ninja]

Except for the abrupt ending, an A+ project

The visual depth your project had in the beginning was amazing... it's nice too not to have to squint at a Flash for a change to make out details. Excellent camera angles, very fluid movement (as good as Samurai Jack), and a great premise. The only things I could suggest improving would be the first assassination (things just didn't gel right visually) and a longer ending. Otherwise, no complaints at all... you've got a great future ahead of you if you keep it up... just add more humor to it and you'll be famous.

SnafuDave responds:

Thanks. First assassination didn't gel right visually. Any tips on what was wrong with it exactly so I can watch out for it next time?

[A New Bunny]

A good one-time viewing...

... to be commended for the energy level and syncing with the original character. It's a great rant, I guess.

[Roof Tiling]

Perfect Firth

Awesome stuff... I gave a 7 on humor because it was primarily focused on capturing bleakness... you still deserve an 11 for content.

I always wonder what situations you had growing up... it seems like themes of spiritual and physical poverty constantly run through your works. It's amazing that you have managed to rise above your surroundings and consistently provide so many thought-provoking releases.

Viva Fat Pie!

[Mind That Child]

For what it aims for, you get a 10

... but what a horribly empty series of experiences you must have had to take all your talent and pour it into something like this... I'm not preaching. You're obviously very talented, and I hope it at least purged your heart of the feelings that made you make it.

But think about how you've taken that morbid unhappiness and spread it a thousandfold, like a replicating virus, to every person that downloads it...

[Pizza Guys 2]

Ran out of steam after the get-out-of-bed scene

Painfully unfunny to watch after that... how (and why) you managed to recreate, by animation, the equivalent of kids just standing around running a videocam waiting for something to happen, is beyond me. Sorry to sound like Simon Cowell, but ya gotta put some PUNCH in your punchlines! Mark Twain said it best... "eschew surplusage".

[Rebel Burger Ep.1]

Oh, man... fast food flashbacks

Excellent setup for what looks like what will be a great series. How did you nail the manager's looks and personality so well? I cringe to admit that I'm 33 and except for that funny fake-looking mustache (keep it! keep it! :D ) I could be a dead ringer for the manager. The usual initially friendly-sounding employment double-speak was captured perfectly as well. Everything else was extremely well written and fairly presented on behalf of all characters involved and I really look forward to seeing more. :D Great job. $8.75 an hour!
