Manya's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Do More Think Less]

It's hard to do it when everybody on the bus looks like they are either about to pass out or any attempts at eye-contact would involve getting yelled at. Forget talking, we should all be able to just smile and nod at each other.

... oh yeah, this is supposed to be a "movie review". Good movie. Simple animation and graphic style, which appropriately deviates from what is observed to what is being heard, which is the keystone of the project. It poses a strong, relatable idea, has plenty of reason behind why the idea should be considered, and it ends off on a humorous note just for good measure.

We need more movies like this. Keep up the good work!

[Mr Cat]

Ah, so that's what my cat does when it goes outside and vanishes for 3 hours...

[Batman Hates Bronies]

For the record, I think Rorchach would've been a better choice for this one.

Nevertheless, that was sweet. Voice acting was awesome, animation was smooth, and punchline was totally worth it. Made me laugh. Any movie that makes me laugh is a good one.

[Bunnykill 5 Part 2]

That was brilliant.

"What happened to Snowball?", they ask.

Yes, Snowball's dead, and you wanted that to be the case in this movie. Krinkels is always reviving his characters in the Madness series for the sole purpose of keeping it one long continuation, while you just tell a bunch of short stories with a common, desirable theme.

Just no pleasing the fans, eh? Sometimes having a hero die makes a movie more effective. Sometimes a movie needs to be made more effective.

In your case, though, you didn't really need it more effective. It's smooth, hilarious, powerful, and a little over the top. Just the way I like it. It didn't need a heroes' death!

BRING BACK SNOWBALL!

But in all seriousness, that was a wicked movie. I'm not sure what you would've originally sent out 4 months ago, but I thank you for taking your time with this. The world needs more people with your sense of quality.

Mottis responds:

Thanks. I wanted to have a different main character for a while and killing off Snowball for Bk5 was the best, most logical thing to do so I could get a nice revenge storyline going on. And people seem upset, which is exactly what I wanted >:3

[PokeAwesome]

Hilarious even the third time I watched it!

So... what, did the trainers just up and leave in that last frame? They're nowhere in sight.

Maybe they went to get some lobster. Seems to be lobster in that world; I've seen it appear in some episodes. Don't know where it comes from, but they have it.

Maybe it's clay.

[Madness Combat 7.5]

Why are you so good at this?

The animation is smooth, you've balanced senseless violence brilliantly with fist-play, trigger-happy massacre, and a touch of humor. When Deimos grabbed that MG, I alongside several others was thinking "Oohhhh yes, here we GO!". Wouldn't have happened as well in any other kind of movie, because we have come to learn and accept that when you give your heroes a "better gun", it gonna be sweet.

Eagerly waiting 11. Or 8.5. Or even a 4.5. Or start making a Madness 5.666 (or something) showing what Jebus was doing this whole time. Heck, throw some aliens into the fray and toss in some green relish blood to go with the mix, and it would still be awesome! Not many movies can do that, you know.

Why are you so good at this? It's just not fair!

[Boomerang vs Mr.kickman]

It was adequate.

I dunno, I see too many of these movies with such fast, intense moves that it's tough for me to handle the slower, simpler ones.

And I'll agree with the guy below me. Despite being called Kickman, he threw more than twice as many punches than kicks, and of the kicks he did throw, only 2 of them actually made contact. Someone named "Kickman", I expect him to be a master of the aerial art.

Nevertheless, it was good. Keep striving for perfection!

[Bunnykill 5 Part 1]

You have a knack for getting me to laugh.

The reason I prefer your work to the Madness series is all the awesome sword-play. Sure, it looks gruesome having dudes mass-slaughter with high-arsenal weapons, but it takes real kill and show to utilize a sword in a way that it not only blocks bullets, but transforms itself into an array of other devices, like a shield (stab a guy in the neck and hold him in front), projectile-weapon (throw said stabbed dude into crowd), corner-checker (stick around corner - if there's blood when it comes back, there are enemies there), etc.

You put a lot of thought and effort into your animations; so much that it doesn't matter how simple the graphics are. In fact, I'm one of those guys who would, by far, rather have an epic battle rather than an epically-looking battle, and I know for a fact I'm not alone. Just wish other companies and animators realized that graphics do not have to be everything. Fluid movement, good music, and some radical ideas, and you have something others only wished they'd have dreamed up first.

Needless to say, I'm giving you a 10/10, and the support of a loyal fan. Keep up the awesome work!

Mottis responds:

Thanks! :D

[Awesome Reach]

I'm wondering where the room and TV went ...

All I can think of right now if their perfectly sane mother, standing in the doorway with that oh-so spooked look on her face.

Hilarious. Simply that.

[The Kirby Collab]

It was alright.

Some of the scenes did drag on a bit, and there were moments where more action was, if you understand, "promised" than delivered. Usually it's the music that does it. I'll be honest; some were funny, some were serious, and some were downright mind-screws.

Not the best of collabs, in my opinion. Again, the main reason being that it dragged on a bit. But nevertheless, it's not one of the worst. You guys have the right idea. Here's a tip. Watch your own movies for about 3 times in a row, take notes on what "could" be better in your own opinion, and try to apply about half of them.

Keep up the good work! You can only keep getting better!

Thanks. :D
