Blessing's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pico's Average Day]

This is more of a gadget than a movie really. I'm guessing you wanted to be entered for the larger prize pool, eh?

That said, "nothing too new or interesting" is really rather accurate I think, so I'll vote 2. The voice acting is nice and the art isn't too bad (though I think you should dial back the lines a little, Pico looks wrinkly at times). The animation is smooth enough but it's kind of overdone, as in the gestures are.... Well... There's a lot of unnecessary movement. It's like watching someone pick a coin up off the ground, but first they whip their hand high above their head and then whiplash their face down in front of it and wiggle their hips as they crouch and hop clockwise around the coin and wiggle their mouth like they're chewing and.... See what I mean? It should be one simple motion, but there's so much unnecessary extra tacked on. That's how all of these gestures you animated look to me.

IvanAlmighty responds:

I didn't do this for the prizes, but I do agree with you that this isn't a movie, I had more scenes that would have created a story but I didn't have time to finish them unfortunately, I wanted to exaggerate the poses, but some of the scenes have unnecessary motions, though others still feel warranted to me. I tried animating the words rather than the sentence and it's feel, but I agree with you, there really isn't much to this cartoon.

[Hey I'm Spider-Man: 2]

This was so stupid that I'm in physical pain right now.

RyanStorm responds:

Why are you wasting your time commenting then? CALL 911!!! You need to get to the hospital ASAP!

[The Man Who Won't Rhyme]

Everything before the introduction of Bro kind of confused me. Like... Why were the people telling him out of the blue not to be happy? And he became Eminem and went to a rap battle or something? Just the whole first bit of this flash before Bro confused me. My first impression was that you were going for a powerful statement about homophobia. I was ready to applaud what I thought was a message about the ugliness of blind hate. Then I took a closer look and realized I was overestimating the seriousness of this flash. I mean the characters are named Bro and Dude, and the tragedy of the story revolves around rhyming. Even the title is silly and then there's the main character gleefully leaping around with those few lines that repeat multiple times. And the fact that you used the word "chap" in the author's comments (come on, you can't say the word "chap" with a serious guy face). And there was that forced scene with the dildo that came out of nowhere. The more I thought about it it became clear that I was seeing something that wasn't there. In retrospect I can tell this was just meant to be another parody about how silly them wacky homosexuals are (and how they comically get what's coming to them in the end, right? herp derp).

Some of my friends growing up were gay and they were great people worthy of more than being the butt of jokes. Your belittling of them is mildly offensive, but I digress.

The music was very good, Tomamoto's voice acting was excellent, and I liked the art style. You have a lot of potential and I hope you make more flashes, though I'd like to request you don't tackle such controversial themes as if they were cheap punchlines in the future.

FrozenFire responds:

They were giving him problems for being super flamboyant. At that point he's not even sure what his sexuality is.

He just acted a lot like Freddie M from Queen and some parents got concerned

[Game Grumps: Toad's Voice]

This is easily the best Game Grumps flash I've ever seen, thus I will give it one star more than I would normally give any Game Grumps flash.

CarlDoonan responds:

Two stars are certainly better than one. Thanks for the rating!

[Superman V Goku]

Not bad.

Here's what I liked:
-The voice acting was good.
-The music was also good.
-The animation, again, good.
-The art was alright.

Here's what I didn't:
-All the extra anime characters you put in there would be dead just from standing so close to a clash between Goku and Superman. The idea that they could actually enter the battle without exploding is laughable.
-While the voice acting was pretty good, some of the audio quality of the lines was rough.
-The credits went on about 5 times as long as they needed to. I'm compelled to lower my score by one star for how agonizing that was alone.

Certainly a decent animation though and not bad for just being practice. Keep at it.

Kel-chan responds:

cmon really credits....usually I just move onto a new video once the credits roll unless im looking specifically for VAs or what they used to make it

[Drunk Batman and Robin 6]

I was pretty confused at first as to why Robin's voice kept changing. I read the author's comments though and that just raised other questions like why did the oldest Robin sound more childlike than the second Robin?

The art could use some work but at least it's consistent (I hate these flashes that try to be funny by using different art styles on every new camera angle). Some of the humor did make me laugh though, so kudos on that.

oldmanorange responds:

Thanks a bunch. And yah the Robin's looking practically identical is supposed to be kinda a joke to the older comics.

[Jurksons meet Floonstoons]

Eh...

Here's what I liked:
-The animation was pretty smooth.
-The audio was alright.

Here's what I didn't:
-It was really random. The writing didn't build toward a specific pun or anything it was just the casts of two cartoons spazzing out.
-The art was really inconsistent. The way people were drawn was changing so frequently it looked like 9 different people did the art for this flash. It was really distracting and bad.
-It was... This flash just sucked. I'm not even going to sugar coat it anymore. This was a really craptastic crap that prayed that a lot of loud, incoherent speech coupled with excessive blood would somehow make people laugh. No wit, no plot, no actual humor. This was just plain a turd. Don't bother replying, I don't read them. It would be the second biggest waste of time of your life. Guess what the first was.

YULFO83 responds:

The first one was the day you were conceived.
