mega48man's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Halo Reach Fail]

LOL

that was friggin hilarious. and i'm definitely going back to watch your other stuff.

ATHF ftw
and fully automatic shotgun, yes, i want one.

[Terminator2 animated]

eeeeeeeh

i'm not sure why this has a 4/5, its got a lot of wholes. you get a 5 because you put working into tracing everything, but minus 5 for poor storytelling

first, this isn't T2, this is a super random fan fiction not related what so ever to T2 (no offense, i'm sure it was a good idea). of course, there's always the sarah conner chronicles which i think there was a girl terminator (but no john conner). now that that's out of the way, on with the WALL OF TEXT

at first, i thought this was gonna be more trolling, but it started and i thought "holy crap, cool!" then the weak/quiet and random voice acting came in, the unexplained random action started, and i was confused as to what was going on, much like the phantom menace

in the phantom menace. people are talking about stuff but i have no concept of what it is because it was long and meaningless. in this case, short and pointless (and i couldn't hear it). the action sequences in phantom menace are really random, i have no idea why anyone's shooting anyone. same case here, why is john conner and a chick terminator wanted for terrorism? usually if the terminator is helping john conner, they're fighting an evil terminator, not people. why are anti-terrorist units after john conner and chick terminator? who's the bad guy; the cops or john conner? why's anyone shooting anyone? why is there a hole in the building? these kind of things need to be set-up through expository so the audience knows who's who and why they should keep watching and not sue the movie theatre for selling them tickets to phantom menace.

i don't wanna start an anti-anime flame war, but it's a little unavoidable. unless your a major studio with funding like the groups who worked on halo legends, don't attempt anime, and halo legends shouldn't of attempted either. anime is an eastern culture thing, japanese and stuff, where as master chief and the terminator are western culture. usually when anime tries western culture type action, dialouge ends up sounding really silly. (i.e. that cop with the glasses going "kick ass" and chuckling after blowing up the chick terminator) i don't know how japan's police force operates, but in america, sending a rocket into a room where 3 of your men are still alive just to kill one unkillable person is definitely not something you make a chuckle at when it's over, instead, the chief would yell at whoever shot the rocket for team killing.

the animation was....pretty damn choppy, but i let that kind of thing pass because i know making flash movies is a bitch. but there were some parts that could use some editing, like when the 3 swat troops are shooting her face off. at first, she starts bleeding (the terminators don't bleed, the skin tissue is like, rubber or something) then 2 seconds later, she's not bleeding. then for what felt like 5 minutes, it the same bullets shooting off the same fake flesh off the same part of the same face they've been shooting at. when the audience see's bullets scratch off skin to reveal robot parts, they don't need to see anymore, it becomes evident that the cops realize she's a robot. instead of reminding the audience that she's bullet proof, show the audience the chief's reaction to finding out she's a robot (and his reaction wasn't very realistic, another problem with anime, acting is always bad oooooooh! speed racer for example).

my advice, go watch some action movies. not anime like ghost in the shell or samurai shamploo (which were good because there's no f**king fan's drooling over it). watch some western culture made action movies, like die hard, platoon, back to the future, etc, mostly classic 80's films. these movies demonstrate good storytelling, which means a hell of a lot more than the action itself (i'm look at you when i say this micheal bay, number four was ugh)

so stay away from being bland and dry, make the audience wanna root for the main character from the moment they meet him/her until the end of the story. don't just start shooting unless you're a super director like christopher nolan or something.

i swear, longest post ever

DangerousBob responds:

woo thats a big comment. All I'm going to say is that I'm very flattered your reading so much into this.

[MvC3: Captain America]

meeeh

this was....eeh, i didn't find it funny. johnny utah's iron man sketch in this MvC3 parody series was funny as hell b/c utah has that obnoxious sense of humor, which totally fits tony stark. the wolverine one luis did was pretty funny too b/c it was wolverine, a total badass, giving you the 'drill sargent treats you like utter shit' treatment, which somewhat fits wolverine and makes it funny (but not as funny as the utah's iron man)

but this was, ugh, i don't get it. it was very middle school humor. if i were 12 or 11, i'd be laughing pretty hard. but i'm not, i'm 17 and i laugh at witty humor (thank god for british television). ok, she hulk's got massive titties despite them being normal size compared to her BMI when she's she-hulk. that's just not something i'd think Cpt. America would say. if you had made captain america say something funny within his character, like hear a door close and suddenly go crazy with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (or commonly known as shell shock syndrom) while he was giving his speech, that'd be pretty damn funny. or maybe if Cpt. America said something slandering the japanese characters like "those foreign invaders are placing the lives of the american people at risk! we need to drop atom bombs on them!!!" that'd be funny.

but alas, this is newgrounds, witty humor is bleak and is reserved for the higher thinking....

MindChamber responds:

Sorry, not all of us can be as mature and full of themselves as you are.

Ill try harder next time.

[Mantropa]

so dope

i hope you're in california where's it legal, cuz you gotta keep making stuff like that, that was hands down the dopest dope i've ever doped.

and i'm laughing my ass off at razgriz1199 down there, xD it sucks to be an outlier

[Toast Is Awesome]

hilarious as balls!

wow, good clean non dick related humour, and on top of that it was super hilarious! i'd love to see you make more claymation movies like that!

[LIFE + DEATH]

interesting

despite how bad the animation is, i don't know if that's your thing or not, looks like it is, w/e, i liked it.

the fact that it was so dark makes it ok to be so bad looking, like others are saying, it adds to the insanity. it was really interesting to bring up the things you did the way you did. i'm surprised it didn't end with suicide.

i'm only taking off 2 stars b/c it reminded me a bit of how my gf dumped me a week ago. we poured it all out for them and they dumped us for no reason

[Lifeless]

interesting

as an artist, i honestly feel like i should be respecting this. my only problem is i can't follow it.

(now mind you, i'm not bashing you, i'm just pointing out the things that threw me off) your transition in time was the most sketchy; first, you had the pictures of the guy getting older in the film reel so it felt kind of pointless to say 'years later'. second, it was confusing to go to that years later type of deal when who or when or what hasn't been clearly established. now if that's what you wanted, great, makes people think......i don't like thinking >: (

overall, i liked it. your art style was different and new, story and concept were interesting, and above all your animation skills look worthy of making you a note worthy newgrounds flash artist. i'd love to see what else you can do!

[Sergio and Bear]

LOL

if you guys aren't doing anything, you know, nothing to do and you got 'too much *clapclap* time on your hands' you should totally make a series out of this. it'd be the next blockhead or something. newgrounds needs a new fun series to follow. think about it!!!

[Left4lol:Survive This]

LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAAAAIN!!!

5/5 and 10/10 just for the time warp. i saw that from the movie when i was a kid, my mom said "this is funny! you'll like it!" i did like it, never saw much of it again (i wasn't adapted to the internet back then, and by the time i was, i forgot all about it) thanks for the reminder!

[WGJ4K: Psychic Surgery]

fuuny! minus n and plus extra u!

i liked it! but do you really have a band called psychic surgery? and if you do, that song kicked ass, where can i get it?
