MalTheDestroyer's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[-The Guardian-]

Entertaining, but the plot makes no sense

Good music, and well-animated, but why on earth would the bad guy tell the boy to take the yellow thingy, only to demand it back at spearpoint pretty much immediately when he tries to, you know, take it? That makes no sense at all. Otherwise, though, this is pretty enjoyable.

[Villainy - Episode 1]

Great!

Very funny, imaginative characters, good voice acting, solid animation. This is pretty much perfect, except for the title music (which, frankly, makes my ears want to detach themselves from my head and run screaming into the garbage disposal).

[Robot Pirates (Official)]

Cute

Just FYI, it's pronounced "chass-ee," not "chass-iss." Otherwise, nice job. :)

[2nd Annual Tank Awards]

Cute

This was pretty amusing throughout, but I really laughed at this line: "Without your support...we'd be a site full of hentai." Heh.

Also, I agree with your choices for winner. Waterflame is a phenomenal talent, and Fancy Pants World 2 is pretty much unmatched in the Flash gaming world for its sheer playability and fun. I wasn't a huge fan of Chuck's Tux, but I recognize that it was extremely well-made, and I probably wouldn't place it below any of the other nominees.

Overall, nice job. :)

[In My Arms Collab]

Nice job!

This is consistently great almost the entire way through (special props to Jeinu for produing, IMHO, the best animations in the bunch).

However, there were a couple of things that made me scratch my head. Why the Bob Dylan reference early on? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the song, other than (I guess) as a reference to the ocean, but it seems a little contrived. And while I thought Nathaniel Milburn's portion was funny, it really didn't fit with the rest of the animations, thematically or stylistically. Also, and this is just nit-picking, but the clouds in AtomicNoodle's part should be appearing behind the bird, right? (Unless it's just a really tremendous bird that we're really, really far away from.)

Anyway, this is great overall. And I'm especially glad that you interpreted this song so literally, because Jon Foreman is a Christian rock musician, and I don't think I could have stomached watching a "Love Song to Jesus collab." ;)

[Its a Tank!]

Bahahaha!

That was absolutely hilarious! I LOL'ed. Nice work. :)

[Fågelskrämman]

Beautiful

Newgrounds would be a nicer place if there were more mature, meaningful shorts like this. The beautiful art doesn't hurt either. ;)

[Blockhead: Quick Shot 2]

Heh

Best Blockhead episode I've seen! I identify with you on this one. :)

[//Necropolis Prelude]

Nice job!

I liked this! It provided some good, basic backstory, and I felt the animation style was much improved from earlier episodes. Character movement was more fliud, and it was much easier to tell what was going on. However, it definitely left unanswered a few of my questions from the earlier episodes, which I can only assume will be addressed in future installments.

JazLyte responds:

I hope you don't mean DevilSlayer, because I'm not touching that story anymore hehe.... I didn't even know what was going on myself, there was no plot direction, and I was just throwing a bunch of stuff together so that I could make a cartoon. But if you mean the Nightgun pilot episode, yeah other story elements will be summed up. But some cliches will be dropped, just to warn you.
