cantflyman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Organ Donor]

I liked it...

But you could've use something to differentiate the characters. I myself had to watch it twice to get rid of the confusion. Otherwise, you did another good job with the cartoon.

Kyaztro responds:

yeah, my bad, I was planning on coloring them in, but the pencil tool, which I'm not entirely used to, makes it harder

[These Pancakes Are Tiny]

A Masterpiece... About Small Pancakes?

You honestly were able to type up more funny things by free writing than most people do when they spend an insane amount of time on it. In a way, this reminded me a lot like Seinfeld, and at the end, it seemed to switch to the intelligent equivalent to Beavis and Butthead.

I also have to comment on the warm, bold artstyle you took. It added a funny personality to the overall product.

In the end, I got a lot more enjoyment from this than I previously thought. Hopefully I won't have to wait another year or so for your next flash. :D

sexysexybicycle responds:

From Seinfeld to B and B! Ha! Good call. Glad you liked the art style, and don't worry. I'll be quicker next time.

[Link and Navi]

Unoriginal and Boring

I don't like to give out bad reviews, mainly because I feel guilty of offending the creator of said flash, but there were too many things that I needed to address.

First off, this entire video was mostly just a bunch of jokes taken from funnier and more successful Zelda parodies (The Real Legend, A Heart For the Hero, etc.). When I say this, I don't just mean that they are just barely similar. I mean that they're basically the same joke thrown in there again with one or two words switched around.

Secondly, the overall audio quality was simply mediocre. I'd notice frequently throughout the movie that the background music would overlap the sound effects, thus taking away from the experience. Not to mention that the sound clips obtained for Link's voice and others were overused and lacked originality. To top it off, the subtitles would frequently speed up and slow down during the movie so they wouldn't match with the vocals, which was extremely annoying.

I won't comment on the animation much, but try to give it a little more pizzazz so the characters stand out from the background.

Also, I'll applaud you for taking the time to make a longer movie, but longer is not always better. During the movie, there were times where I felt like scene was dragging out longer than it should be, and in other cases, I felt like the movie just should've stopped right there.

All in all, this definitely wasn't one of the top Zelda parodies. If you continue this series later on, make sure to improve on some of these areas I mentioned earlier in order to help make this parody stick out of the already thousands of parodies on the internet. I wish you the best of luck in the future.

LinkXRetro responds:

well thank you for reviewing
i appreciate it

[Hummer Commercial]

True Dat!

The punchline was quick and affective. I could honestly see Hummer getting desperate enough to use that ad campaign! XD

What was impressive was that you made this while you were sick. How long did it take?

Kyaztro responds:

about 3 hours, it's just a bunch of tweens and filters

[CD-i Phillips is awesome]

Thank God...

We need more CD-i parodies on Newgrounds that are actually funny. Did you voice this? If so, you're pretty good.

Kyaztro responds:

Thanks dude, and yeah I voiced it, but I still think I have that sort of adolescent tone in my voice

[A Rhino's Stomach]

I very much enjoyed this.

I felt myself start to feel for the rhino, and usually, that means I like the flash. This one's no different. I also got a good kick out of the stomach sub plot. Here's to hoping that you get front page and make more animation in your future.

grabbelfant responds:

Thanks, I hope that I get frontpage also, but I'm not counting on it. Good news for you, I will make more animations in the future (part of my studie)

[Professor Layton pt. 3]

The best part yet

The sound quality and animation were definitely better than the last two. Good job.

Although I'm surprised that no one seems to know that this is a parody of the Professor Layton video game series. You might want to credit Nintendo for the characters in future cartoons.

Skaijo responds:

I'll keep that in mind. I'll cred Level-5 in the future. :3

[Tywo At Large Ep. #3]

Quality Animation

This reminds me of those Saturday morning school-based cartoons. The concept of Tywo is also hysterically funny. Are you planning on a fourth?

Pixmintro responds:

Yes I am planning on a 4th episode, I'm not even going to predict when it'll be done, but sometime next year probably. This movie KILLED me...

[A ComiX Halloween!]

Loved the Robotnik head!

Also, you're probably the first person to ever poke fun at the look of the newer Crash games. I've definitely had a thought like that before, but I'm surprised no one else made a reference to that earlier.

DAGamesOfficial responds:

lol well I love robotnik, so I thought I'd parody it :D and yeah I thought I'd try out with parodying crash. never thought I'd do it in my life though seen as though I've always thought it was awesome, but the new games made me :D

Anyway, thanx man :P

[Cup o Democracy]

I don't know why the score isn't higher.

You'd expect to see this type of quality of animation on TV. I'm also glad that this movie managed to be funny without having to make cock jokes like other overrated movies. How I know that I actually like a video is by feeling compelled to watch it rather than forced, and this movie happened to pull it off. Hopefully this won't be the last of Captain Capitalism. :D

captcapitalism responds:

thank you very much, sir. very kind words.
