DreadMore's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sword in a Stone]

Great animation, short, to the point, made me chuckle.
I like how the author writes in at the end the date - makes you think people at the 2020 are too afraid of new things to come :D

[Sublo and Tangy Mustard #15 - Picnic]

Really like how the series is going on (cathy dance).
The art style is simple enough to focus on showing viewers the ideas but original per character, very nicely blending with the idea of "2 strange guys forever enclosed in their world of selling sandwiches". Clearly obvious from this and previous strips the author is not afraid to work with different scenarios and sceneries. And the intro music is just top notch.

Alsways happy to see another episode.

[Kill MikelzNG (b-day collab)]

Animation/sound: 2,5 / 5 (avg.)

The idea for this collab is... kinda worthless.
Details: to anybody not knowing what this is about probably looks just as a snuff collage.
Not sure what's the reason behind the collab, where is the murderous intent comming from.
Seriously ClockCrew made more sense in their movies than this.

Intro movie was dope, but that's it

P.S.
Low blow ColeBob, my momma's dead, try immagining yours like that.

yo mamas worthless

[Everybody Loves Raymond!]

Pretty embarrassing ideas in this collab, not to mention allowing in a guys with "too loud annoying" cutscenes.

Good ideas for animation, zero ideas for making something half funny.

EDIT: GrayAnimations made me ponder, so I'll get into details:
Animations are quite good, some would be considered even 4/5, true.

But as average the collab pretty much hangs around 2,5/5
Many ideas seem original as well, it's just that... don't get why in every 2nd collab someone has to post something like a bad or shit joke with volume up to 150% (yes, 3:15, feel bad for all people using headphones).

I don't really sympathize with the references to this "Ray" character, what's so funny about creating several strips of "let's all rip and tear Ray for <<reasons of existing>>". From what I get from around 12:12 he "does not blend" with the other characters, but that's it.
Maybe introducing him in a way that would actually made viewers seem sympathetic to "hating him" would open me eyes some witty comment around his bleak story. Instead through half of the thing I've been just confused ("why dress him like that", "why gouge his eyes", "is this a StarBuckshmuck reference?")

There is effort in it, it's just.. does not translate very well what you're trying to show, half of the things look like someone mixed snuf movies with rage criticism.

P.S.
No, I don't have Animal Crossing, hate sandboxed games.

this project was done for fun with the intent to be easy and to let anyone join who was interested, not to make the highest quality content on newgrounds. if your sense of humor is really that good and this collab really bugs you then you should make one yourself and see how it goes.

[Potato Gun]

As far as stopmotion movies look like, this one was awesome.

[Make Gears Great Again]

Was kind of "mmkay, superb Flashgitz parody, alright.", and then burst into laugh 2 seconds after main guy took away his 'manhood' :D

[Cake Day]

Pretty awesome, mades one chuckle.

[mickey mouse hates pluto]

Legendary account or not, this is bad. Not even funny. 1 star just because of the clickbait Action Hero style Mickie picture in the whole thing.

[DeeDee fan animation]

Looked nice, music could be more stylised for Dex'es Lab.

Also that DeeDee is an impostor - she would never feel sorry for destroying anything in Dexter's Lab!

["Earth" by Muramatsu, feat. Emily Kaplan]

Splendid piece of work!

EDIT: Just corrected grammar

The animation was properly looped, and the little things were appearing sometimes normally, sometimes very delicately, felt like you were walking down a magic road buried in interesting scenery/thoughts, only to suddenly stop and look around, to be surrounded by a magical garden. I really liked the snail, not sure I normally see anyone going to lengths to properly show someone how long does a piece takes place :)

The animator did a great work syncing all of the effects to the music, showing that he indeed, is inspired by it, and no wonder!

The music itself is beautiful, worthy an animation, game, a movie, a theater play. I'd love to come and listen, but I'd had to hide in the crowd so that no one sees me crying ^_T.

Overally the work of Art here touches oneself as me. Especially the last part with the "pollinating scene" after which everybody started vanishing. It felt like you wanted to symbolize a passing of time and people, but not a sad one - a joyous one, promising new Spring to come.

Well done~!

I can't express with words how happy this review made me. Thank you.
