Rokkan-Saturn's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[S13 - I Want It! Syndrome]

S13 - I Want It! Syndrome

I don't really get the whole hype around this. I'll admit that the whole thing did get me interested, and the animation quality is pretty good, I specially like how the camera moves in such a subtle, but notable way. Voice acting could have been some more emotionful. Don't you think just because you spoke a foreign language you can get away with it!
I think one of the things that really bugged me off is the music, that feels too off. Your choice of punk/rock songs doesn't really match the whole cotidian comedy thing that this flash seems to be all about. And, I suppose you tried to teach a moral lesson, but it wasn't applied right. After he drinks beer, he just blacks out and then, all of a sudden, he is kicked out from home. What happened there? What did he do to deserve that? And then all of a sudden he's all old? Transitions are your friends, use them to explain the story better, even if redundantly! And then he wakes up and just bans alcohol from his life. Is the moral lesson not to drink beer? Or not to be greedy, since it is shown at the very beggining of the flash that he spent others' money on silly things? It just didn't make that clear, and this misfitted and forced conclusion made me very underwhelmed. Still, it's a nice piece of animation with some funny jokes. Some of those I might have not understood, since there are other episodes of this 'series' and this is the only flash I have ever watched from you.

[Saturday Morning Watchmen]

Best.Parody.Ever

Seriously, not only the animation is just breathtaking, as it looks like a real cartoon, but the way you got scenes and facts from the Watchmen graphic novel/movie and "silly"sized them was just hillarious. I couldn't help but die in laughter at the three Dr.Manhattan in bed. Great parody.

[Mastermind 4]

Great

Incredible animation, the music is also pretty great. The content though, it was too slow-paced, I was almost pressing Alt+F4. But, this animation still granted me a laugh or two.

[-Crazy Dave-]

It's Okay.

Animation seems good enough, the animation didn't make me laugh but it wasn't exactly unfunny. Everything looks okay, just plain okay, nothing spetacular but nothing awful =P

[Metroid: The collab]

This isn't any better than the Mario one...

Another collab with fairly poor quality. There's no thrill or excitement on it, and the little bit of comedies there are very recycled and outdated. With no quality, no thrilling action and no laughter, what you got there is a pretty boring piece, with only small bits of quality here and there.

[Mario's 20th anniversary]

Awful

While some parts of the collab had actually any quality in the animation, most of it had just an awful, poor-quality animation, some of it you can't really tell what was happening, just Mario spinning through things and entering a pipe.

[-8bit Clouds- Collab]

Doodle Collab

This collab doesn't make much sense, and most of it just looked like MSPaint doodles on the screen, instead of pixel-per-pixel works. It's not very hard to make decent MSPaint graphics, you know. The only ones that I saw effort on it were the first one and Gregly's. The rest was effortless, senseless and not amusing at all.

And by the way, if you're aiming for an 8-bit feel, you should know that 8-bit sprites normally hold up only four different colors (normally, two of them being black and white) as seen on GameBoy Pokémon games.
