KupaMan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Latest Model]

I love it

Even though the artwork wasn't as in-depth as some of your other stuff, its simplicity made it good. The way they treated the bombs like any other piece of technology was great. You're a strange one, Mr. Firth.

[iwp makes ANOTHER movie]

I'm getting a little pissed off.

We've all had our fair share of Foamy rammed in our faces and even the older fans are beginning to creep away, but it doesn't help to have 3 parodies to every 1 Neurotically Yours cartoon. I'll give it to you that you made some pretty nice graphics and some okay jokes, but you all need to stop with the Foamy parodies. There's probably just as many parodies as there are actual Neurotically Yours episodes. These people need to quit bitching and just make an original cartoon or something, rather than exerting this much energy just to bash an animator that everyone's already stopped liking. You obviously have the talent, so stop wasting it on stuff like this.

RupeeClock responds:

This was a one off, aight?
I usually don't waste my talent like this on other people. ;)

[5 Shots]

Nice job

Very funny joke, done well. Not bad. It could have used some better movement, but it worked well. So, great going.

CowPuncherProduction responds:

Thanks for the advice and the 9! :)

[Toothpaste]

I have many problems with this...

For one, you snatched the name of one of them funniest Web Comics out there and then made this thing with its name. Don't take other people's names. I won't believe you if you say you've never heard of it, so don't bother. Another problem, it was way too much (comedy style) like a ripoff of Knox, and (visually) like a ripoff of Over There. However, there was nice animation aside from the mouths, which I liked seeing. The audio was a problem too. It was super quiet. The humor was bland and seemed like a ripoff of many other more successful comedies at first, but then had some good stuff at the end. Overall, it was okay. I'd give you a 6, but for some reason a six is a bad review these days. So a 7 is average.

Freemont responds:

Just to clear some things up:

- The title is a kind of a tribute to the website, which I obviously have heard of, and am a big fan of.

- This was animated in July (before Over There was even submitted) and this has been my animation syle since 2004 anyway! That's the first time I have ever been accused of stealing someone else's animation!

- The humor like Knox's? I don't think so... and I don't think anyone else thinks so either. I work very hard to stay away from Knox's style, and usually pay more attention to not being like Knox, than on the story itself.

- And I don't know why the sound is so low, but hey! That's what volume control is for.

[Red Riding Hood]

Impressive

From you, I've noticed, with your other stuff, that it looks a little choppy and broken up, the art, and doesn't look refined enough. This time, however, it all looked very nice and not too overdone. The art wasn't as much of an anime rip-off this time either, which made me happy. Red Riding Hood's end wasn't what I'd have wanted, but the hunter's was a cleaver one, which made up for it. Very fine job here. One problem, however, was the audio sometimes was drowned by the music. That's all.

[EgoCity Chap V disk2]

Interesting...

Nothing made sense to me, but I didn't grade down because of it. I didn't like the artwork. It was too much like Code Lyoko in that it's all flat and stuff, but I loved the visual effects. They were very cool looking. The audio was poor, but the music choice was good. Though, I'd like to see more of these series' make their own music instead. Oh well. The lip syncing looked nice. I gave you an eight because of the nice effects and the respect I have for making a flash this long.

[Shamoozal: Guitar Zero]

Pretty good

You're quite underrated. Your stuff is pretty smooth, sounds good, gets to the point, and isn't over-the-top, and yet you aren't getting a bunch of awards and babes and money thrown at you. I'm not going to say "you got potential" because I think you've shown that you're past just "potential" and that you've proven yourself to be good, it's just that Newgrounds is a bunch of assholes who aren't watching your stuff like they should. I hope to see more shorts soon and I hope this gets an award and front page and stuff. Nice job.

Shamoozal responds:

Thanks for the very kind words.

[Blockhead: Episode 6]

Pretty good

The weird spastic things Blockhead has are getting animated better. Everything else is still pretty chunky looking and not so smooth. Overall, a very funny episode. I think you should make a new opening, though. The text with the poor outline and bad jpegs tweened behind them should be replaced with flash vector graphics. Other than that, nice job.

The-Swain responds:

I'm sure you've seen the flash comedy on Newgrounds about new marketing for the old Warner Brothers characters? You know, catering to a young and attention-defeated audience? Well, I was afraid of changing the title routine just because Blockhead is "popular" now. It seems too deliberate and motivated by popularity. Believe me, I have considered it. But if I do change the title stuff, it will be after this summer, when I can consider it a "new season". Then I can change the entire format if needed.

No Blockhead In Space though. Not yet. None of us are ready.

[Ruth's Valentine Tips]

Pretty funny

Some silly "jokes" here. Mostly just an enjoyable flash to watch. It's not one I'd run around and tell my friends about, but I definately don't regret watching it. I think the lip syncing could use some work, though. Still, pretty good flash overall.

Wonchop responds:

Heh, well I started it like 4 days before Val's Day (cos I'm a lazy sod) and my PC's been kinda silly, so I chose to be a lil lazy with the lip sync.

[CU-Valentine's Special]

I love the CU shorts

However, I think I like the random characters from the other CU shorts better than these guys; the series' main characters. This had some funny stuff in it, though. I hope the next episode comes out soon.Or at least another short. Anyway, nice job.
