XanRethan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rwd: 021 Meet'n'fuck]

Impulsive Side Mouth

A hilarious submission, the only thing that I didn't like was the abruptness to which the newgrounds-goer moved to crying. It fit well enough, but it seemed rather uncontrolled, and could have probably done with a script rework to take the funny idea and temper it to be even funnier.

[Awesome Gaiden]

very funny

I loved the part about the strategy guide dude, it made me laugh a lot

[It's Over Nine-Thousand!]

good job

ugh the spawn of you tube poop, although it still put a smile on my face, pretty funny flash, nice job

[Bad Baby]

Another superb animation

Horrific, yes. Dreadful, of course. Fluid, well animated and superbly synced with music sfx, another yes.

The only thing I wonder about are the recurring themes in your works. I'm probably one of the duller tools in the shed, yet even considering that, there was enough new material that it was clearly seperate, thematically.

i'm on a pretty existential mood right now

[Mambolawyer]

A regular explosion of taste... but for eyes

There was so much happening in every frame, not a single byte of space was wasted. Great work!

[Zelda: UO Epis:5 2of2]

Epic fan-fic

To say the dialog isn't cheesy at times would be a lie. But to say that it's bad overall would be one, also. While I can't say i bought into the storyline immediately, the work of art you've produced (all of the episodes, really) are fantastic. It's not the best artwork ever, but it's consistently good. I didn't really like him creating/reclaiming items out of thin air. Din's Fire being the exception.

Obviously since it's not over yet I won't make any assumptions on how dark link ties into a bigger picture, but given the first 5 episodes, it seemed merely past-grudge. Which would mean Dark Link is his own entity? Maybe i'm mistaken, but Dark Link always seemed to be a magical copy of Link, sent by a stronger entity (Ganon, for example) as a sort of goon, not really a person in his own respect. The only exception to this I barely know about is the beginning of the Four Swords Manga (again, however, my knowledge on this is limited).

Bias aside these first 5 episodes were great. Keep up the good work.

["Death" of an artist 2]

Go against the current much?

I won't lie. The animation is crude at best. But I have to say good job at keeping a constant stream of flash, comments, replys and whatnot to keep everyone angry at you. I think that's the most humorous part of your flash. The people that get all pissy. Good job at making people pissy.

[A Simple Line 7]

Must... Vote... 5...

Great submission. I got a kick out of the "subliminal" vote 5 message. ;p Keep up the good work. :)

[Quadradic Formula = Fun!]

Good

Math is hilarious. My favorite thing to make fun of is volume of rotation. mostly because it's a pain, at times. anyway, love the work, keep the good stuff, out with the bad! What no bad? Keep goin'! :)

[Mario Brothers - Part IV]

A good change

I've watched all 4, as thousands of others probably have. Great stuff... too many mario flashes are all about happy mario-kill-sonic, sonic-kill-mario, bash bash funny funny, whathaveyou. Tragedy is something that is not often played up, because it takes a little more setup than slapstick. Which is why I commend you, Keep up the good work!
