Kajenx's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Metal Gear Awesome 2]

Hey, wow!

The animation was actually really good! I was a bit surprised, to be honest, lol. And the humor stands well on its own. I've never played MGS, but it was still really funny. I think you are making the right decision to move away from video game parodies because you really don't need the references to make good humor.

[Surface EP 2 (Part 1/ 2)]

Cool!

The story is really immersive! The art isn't great though. It seems a bit rushed. If you took a little time to clean it up I bet you could make it look really professional. If you're going for a sketchy style, though, the pen tool kills it. Try just sketching the lines out with the smallest brush, then optimize it. It'll look like it was sketchy on purpose as opposed to just looking kind of choppy/dirty.

[The Orange Flash Box]

Eh...

It was okay. I'm getting pretty tired of cut and paste gory video game parody flashes. The art wasn't terrible, but it could use some work. As for the humor, well, you kind of went for the obvious. For some reason I don't find a bird pooping on flattened corpses funny...

I gave you a 7 because the effort was there, but I wish you would have made something a little more original. Or at least changed the concept of the video game parody so it takes on a bit of sophistication...

Arkuni responds:

Have you played Half-Life 2 ?

In the game, the seagulls praticly shits on everything.

[You Are Boring.]

Not good.

It isn't just tasteless due to recent events, it's just tasteless in general. Normally I can forgive violence and gore in a movie if it's used to further humor or action of some sort, but blood and guts just for the sake of it got old a long time ago. The first couple of movies to use stick men and excessive gore got a nice shock value, but by now it's just become cliche bad humor.

BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[Valentine's Day 08!]

Great!

Nice job! I love your style, keep it up.

[In the Rain]

Nice!

A lice little short with some great animation. Really smooth, nice job!

[Sugar, Spice and...]

Lawl

Your Author Comment made me lawl even before I watched it. Nice job with the animation, too! It was really sylized.

[ScientLOLojyuuichi!!]

Uh...

It's very AlbinoBlackSheep, but I didn't think it was amazing. It seemed more like those old school spammy animutations.

LULZunlimited responds:

Now watch more than the first 5 seconds of it, please.

[Bambee]

Err, okay!

That was really messed up...

But the physical humor was great!!

[Hunt of the Shoopacabra]

Heh...

Made about as much sense as the madness series, which isn't much. It was a pretty good parody though.

Was that thing supposed to be in 1940s style blackface? Seems kind of like a cheap joke.

Alpha-Nuva responds:

This had a more logical storyline than Madness. Are you kidding?

Also, the joke behind the blackface was Shoop Da Woop, an internet meme from 4Chan. Go to www.encyclopediadramatica.com to find the meaning behind it.
