squidly's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sempai Jr.]

You're right.

There isn't much lighthearted stuff around, thanks for this, then.

[:Exile Vilify (Portal 2):]

Infinetly Amazing

I don't even know where to start.
How about I begin with the fact that as my time on NG has progressed, it has become increasingly rare that I write a review, let alone a very positive one.

This is the exception.

With this single movie, you've managed to combine amazing animation, using techniques that no one man should be able to master all at once, an amazing song, for obvious reasons, and an amazing story, and you've managed to make all of them shine brighter then they ever have before.

This is the best claymation I've seen on the net, this is also one of the most well animated cross-animation style blends, and this is finally one of the best music videos I've ever seen, professional or not.

At the same time, you've also managed to exemplify Ratman's plight in a way that the original comic still couldn't, especially the final moments. It brings new concepts to the Portal universe, how one sacrifice can be completely ignored. It's not as if Chell and him will ever meet each other, but his hope for a better future compels him, and I've never seen that better portrayed then here.

I will do my part, however small it is, to make sure Gabe Newell sees this. He has to. This is just too good to be ignored, too good to be a hidden gem, too good to fall off the portal listings without some kind of special recognition. This is NOT a normal flash, this is far beyond that, it's something your Daily 5th place medal and 1,400 views will never be able to justify.

This is Sundance Film Festival material, and I'm not even remotely joking.

This is perhaps one of the nicest reviews I have ever read in my years of submitting my contents online.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review that makes me feel warmer and fuzzier on the inside than a Wookie in the Caribbeans.

You say the Daily 5th and the 1400 view don't do it justice but I think you just did so with this single review. It's words like these that makes me want to continue to do what I love to do and do it better. :)

So once again, I am very grateful for your words of kindness and support.
And stay awesome. Though I'm pretty sure you will continue to do so.

Lolwut

In the event of the Rapture, I'm probably going to hell for writing this review.

Anyways, those earthquakes are pretty bad, but I thought we'd have Old Faithful erupt before anyone comes for any rapture.

Also, nice animation, it's clear it was done on short notice, but it's pretty good for that.

It's funny, I was thinking of that exact song playing during the "apocolypse" before I watched this yesterday, but could not come up with the name or where I heard it from, what is it?

captainTAICHOU responds:

the song is from mario rpg for super nintendo. It plays during the introduction.

[Facebook Girl]

Nice

Hopefully that girl that you're mocking won't take this too personally, assuming you're mocking a specific girl as well as everyone like this.

Anyways, I agree with that collab idea, but make it about Facebook in general, I would enter that.

Dosensuppen responds:

The girl I mock does not exist. If you read some past comments, I stated it. :P

Thanks for your review.

[Abysmal Adventures #1]

Notes for the Next Episode

Assuming there will be one:

1. Abrupt endings are BAD.

2. Speed up what goes on, I mean, it feels like this movie took a lot more time then it should've taken to get a point across.

3. The Audio Portal is a nice place for music, you know.

Anyways, alright start, could be better.

[Realm of the Mad God]

Hi I'm an Orange Baby

OH MY GOD!

This is an amazing representation of the degenerated mess RoTMG is becoming, and also a nice fine parody.

Anyways, you sir, get a 9.

Guys you got a 9, you should go to the nexus and show everyone!

[Good Bye Newgrounds...]

Leaving...

Can be a bit less dramatic, you know, I just phased out, and only occasionally come back every so often.

Good flash, and the Bear in the Big Blue House song was a nice touch.

[Tron: Lolgacy]

You Win

Congratulations, sir, you've just won everything that ever was.
I'm serious, amazingly lolworthy parody, the authors comments gotta get changed a bit, though, just so it's more of a 'shock'

Really well done, and right on time!
Good work.

[Gamer Tonight Indie Dev]

Eh, could've done more

The joke was a bit off, and just didn't seem that clever.
I really did enjoy the past Gamer Tonight's because they actually had some genre related jokes that fit, there's just so much untapped potential when you talk about parodying indie games, especially on a site that's dedicated to them, that it's a shame to not hit that.

I did enjoy the Super Meat Boy picture, though.

Tisk, tisk, tisk, saying bad words on newgrounds?
That's not ok.

Either way, good animation, shame you had to get our great lord Fulp displeased.
