TheAbominableMatt's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[HotFish-SameButDifferent]

i feel so stupid for my first reaction to this

I even said in my review of "There she is!! step 2" that this animation was a dissapointment to me after "There she is!!!" but i went back and watched it again and i can't undersatnd why i didn't get it the first time. I think i was looking for another "There she is!!" when i first watched this but now i can watch this animation for what it is.

Theres alot of messages in there that for some reason i didn't pick up on the first time around but i understand it now. I'm not going to type them out though cause i think you have to understand it for yourself.

I know that SamBakZa will never read this but i want to appologise to him for my initial harsh reaction to this animation, which truely is a work of art.

[There she is!! step 2]

just as good as the original

No matter what anyone says this is just as good as "there she is!!!" and that was beautiful.

"There she is!!!" is top of my list of favourites so i was a little worried that this wouldn't live up to the expectations i had but any doubts i had after "HotFish-SameButDifferent" (which let me down a bit) were completley thrown out after i watched this for the first time. I've now seen it three times and i will watch it again because every time i watch it i notice something new that i love about it.

I know that SamBakZa will not read this but i'm sure someone will just before watching this, to them i say that if you liked the first one, you won't be dissapointed. Even if you dont like it the first time watch it once more and see if it doesn't grow on you.

I want to congratualate you

You have manage to create a beautiful and brilliant flash with apparently very minimal animation. The plane looks great by the way and so does the explosion, I thought for a minute that you would just have archive footage of a mushroom cloud but the way you did it impressed me.

The only real criticism i would have would be that when the man ran, although I'll forgive you for it because I'm sure that animating a man running forward would be difficult enough and a side profile wouldn't have really given the right effect.

The music was very well chosen and I really though you put the tragedy of that day across very well.

Congratulations again and good luck in future projects.

[Madness Apotheosis]

brilliant as always

i look forward to the next one even more because as we all know hank never dies. I am pretty curious however as to how he'll come back this time. Reincarnated? cloned? some kind of robot?

Only Krinkles knows

don't do this again

its wasn't bad as far as the drawings go but as for the content, i really hate it when people try and push religion on other people. If you want to go to mass or whatever, fine. Just dont submit advertisments for God and prayer on Newgrounds. Also I probably wouldn't have given you such a bad score if it had been animated at all, regardless of the message there wasn't alot of work put in.

its not that i didn't like it...

.. i did, it's just that this kind of thing doesn't really belong on newgrounds in my opinion. It would be better suited on filmfights (i'm not trying to promote unrelated websites here, so dont report the review) or some other site like it.

The film showed that you choreographed your fight quite well and for that i congratulate you. If i was going to make any suggestion however, it would be to improve the quality of the sound and the script. If you do submit movies like this again to newgrounds try to include some aspect of flash in the presentation, although the sound affects were a nice touch.
Thats juat my opinion and good look in your future productions.

machstealth responds:

well i dont think knox's video dubs should be on newgrounds OR his clay mations. Only because there videos....you piece of shit

[clayzilla]

shows real promise

that was pretty good, there were a few things i didn't like but there were more things that i did like. That pirate magician i thought was the best part of the movie.

I look forward to seeing more and if they're as good as that one you can count on me to protect them

The-Protector responds:

1. thanks
2. my next one will not be as good but better !

good comment thx

[Air Guitar Masta]

no effort at all

this won't get blammed but it should. The isn't even very good, it just looks like bad dancing. If it was a kind of "starwarskid" thing, he didn't know he was being filmed. then it might have been funny. I dont think this was the case though cause it didn't say anything in the authors comment. If he didn't know he was being filmed then im sorry for the bad score.

FourStar responds:

you didn't know you were being a dumbass by writing that borderline-retarded review

[29 Day War]

dont read this review if you haven't seen it

The supprise ending i thought was well done and I think I know what was going on but will someone tell me if I have it figured right.

The american government wanted to launch an outer space defence programme.

They would never have been allowed with no kind of threat because other countries wouldn't want one country to have so much more power than another, especially america which already has vast millatary applications.

So they faked an alien invasion in the hopes that they would be granted permission by the UN or whoever to launch these satelites. These satelites, once the "alien" threat was gone, could then be turned on nations unfriendly to the USA.

Also, when the chinese tried launching similar satelites the americans sabotaged them so that another country wouldn't have the same power america had.

So, is that right?

[Don't do this]

good idea

i agree with the last guy, foamy is really overdone and could do with being in there. I dont think madness should be in there though cause they're all great. I liked the animation style though, it was really good, dunno about the sound though.

FireHound responds:

well... I didn't mean to attack the madness guy himself... but I did mean to attack the ppl who try to recreate his movies...
