Magna's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Life of a Ninja]

It was funny.

Really Really Funny. I like this one. The animation wasn't too complicated and therefore not distracting.
I like the "Me time" thing, that was funny. And the music in the car was hilarious after the dry cleaning. Nice work man.

[Sticks Vs. Fills: The Kil]

Really good!

I liked it a lot, some of the fills looked a little stupid, you should learn how to do shading (no, i'm not talking about gradients)

i also liked the 3-D part, that was interesting.

Really good action, kinda short, and the drawings loooked kinda dumb.

[Vacuum cleaner depression]

You are a very good animator.

Put that ability to something with more purpose or just less weird ^_^

[Foamy's Rant : Foamy The Squirrel]

This could be one of the worst animations.

I lost interest two seconds into this.

There was no change on the screen... i could have thrown the sound 10 seconds off and it would not have effected the presentation. The bacrkounds don't change, and you reused the same symbols for the whole thing. How long did this take you? 10 minutes? This is pathetic.

Why doesn't foamy's mouth fucking move? Are you THAT lazy? P.S. I lost interest partially because the things he was spouting off had no substance and had been written and voiced in 4 minutes.

[BananaLock Teaches Flash]

Hilarious!

I hate the locks man. And i especially hate Bannana. What a fag. I'm glad you didn't use text to speech for the voices!

[The Portal]

It was very 'good'. But 4.51, WTF?

I'm a big fan of both authors. However, this really didn't tickle me.
First of all, the appearence of Tommorows Nobodies Characters were very out of place and only added to the inconsistencies of the graphics... i mean, all the backrounds look so different... its really fine if its once or twice, but it happened all the time. No i'm not talking about images on the walls changing, i'm talking about backrounds and building and then 3-D coming in... it all seemed to collide together and didn't seem smooth. But hey, thats just me. The graphics of the clocks weren't very good, but they were original, but i really like Redemption's style better.

Also, the story made the least of all sense. I couldn't tell if was supposed to take it serious, like the Void, or like the video "Robin Hood Men in Tights". It was trying to be like the matrix, but it made NO freaking sense. I think i hated the Story the most, because the Matrix is a movie that is easy to make a parody of, and, no offense, but you seriously fucked it up.

With this movie i couldn't do both. Plus Darnell is just a dumb move and ALSO adds to the graphical inconstiencies. Darnell didn't even have a minimal role in Pico's School, and i didn't choose to include him in Pico's Cousin because hes just a poor character. It's not that hes black, he just doesn't make any sense. Plus, whoever voiced him has a godawful voice and godawful microphone. I heard those annoying breathing noises that could have been filtered with any basic sound editing software!

The only reason that this has such a high score is because there are so many clocks and clock likers that outnumber clockhaters now (which i guess is better than clockhaters outnumbering clock likers) and so they vote '5' everyday because... hey, wouldn't you if someone made a cool movie about your club/group???

Things i liked: The interactivity... man, that was really cool putting that hacking thing in. I loved the outtaked... i actually knew how to watch it (it was like robin hood: MIT).

Anyways, i can honestly tell you put effort and time into this, but, to me, its almost a wasted effort because of a poor story and poor execution.

I hope i said everything i wanted to say. :-D
