ornery's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pen Sexucation]

Genius

Excellent clever way to show a variety of different terms with a simple single medium. Amazing what a small grouping of objects strategically positioned can portray.

[Kevin Bacon Odyseey]

Quality

I'm laughing my ass off and don't really know why.

[the Last of the Dashkin]

The weakest one of the series.

The animation wasnt nearly as pretty as the other installments, or perhaps it was run of the mill and expected.
As for the story, you tell to much instead of showing it, a good visual story teller can convey as much through images as they can through words. Telling the audience every tiny little thing that a character is thinking is fine for books, but not for animations. Instead of saying "he was sad" show it or imply it visually or metaphorically. It's much more satisfying to know whats going on without having to be told. Figuring out what the authors intentions were rather than being told what they are lets the viewer feel more like an active participant who has just been rewarded with knowledge rather than a child being led by the hand.

While i can understand the need to make sure that certain concepts get across, simply stating them in a narration is a bit of a cop out and a sign of poor writing.

[3rd Grade Transformers]

Good idea, poor execution

The concept and writing were strong, and the animation was good for its purpose. But the voice acting became incomprehensible yelling and stupid sound effects with each trying to out voice the other. And the actual dialogue and story could have progressed even more awkwardly and cornily to match a real terribly done 3rd grade performance.

[At Conception]

Great Soundtrack Choice

Good pacing on the animation. Nice interpretation of the songs. Been waiting for someone to use some cursive in a flash, and you didn't disappoint.

[Nietzsche kills God]

Great style

The animation and style is smooth and well assembled. Decent story as well. Only complaint would be the pacing is a little slow in some parts.

[Jack & Jill Exodus]

Great interpretation

I feel like it could have been a bit more.... extreme though. I like the switch from the happy ridiculous tone to that of the darker more sinister one. But then it suddenly switches back with little addressing to the potential that could have been. Good job anyway.

[Super Fun Time Adventure]

Hilarious

I found myself laughing the whole way through. I wish it were longer though.
definitely cant wait for the next installment.

[Oh, SH*T!]

I just witnessed the pinnacle of human acheivement

An the light from its awesomeness was blinding.
