BlueMonday1984's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[KNIGHT QUEST DRAGON III (epic)]

The visuals felt like I took a time machine back to my childhood. The 2D platformer style reminds me more of the Flash games I grew up with, rather than the PS1-era platformers of the time, but it does a good job inspiring nostalgia nonetheless.

The goblin's nonchalant oneshotting of the knight caught me off guard and cracked me up pretty hard. I'm also dying to know what the "secret third option" was.

FunkyPepe responds:

haha its a secret!

[The Hullabaloo 3!]

This felt like a circa '93 ketamine fever dream. Its like a a Net Yaroze had a nightmare.
I'm still pretty impressed with this low-poly experiment, though - you've got the 5th-gen 3D style down pat.

jthrash responds:

Thank you. When I imitate the 5th console generation (N64/PS1/Saturn), my specific influences include Rayman 2 and Tonic Trouble. I was a smidge worried that the 1K textures I used might break the illusion (PS1 textures were often 128x128 pixels while N64 textures were often even lower at 32x32 pixels), but I guess it still looks fine as sort of a pre-rendered cutscene from that era.

And yes, the nightmare vibes were 100% intentional, especially with the background music being a combination of inane singing, hysterical crying and my best impression of a turtle climaxing after intercourse.

EDIT: Oh, and the sirens at the end were off course inspired by the sirens that played at the end of major boss fights in the original Silent Hill for PS1. Definitely adds to the creep factor.

[Edd drinks a soda]

Pretty alright Eddsworld imitation from what I can tell - now just come up with a solid episode idea and you'll have yourself a pretty nice watch.
Welcome to Newgrounds, I can see plenty of potential in you.

(Quick sidenote: The BGM's coming exclusively out my right ear when I watch this - I think you might've made an error in the audio.)

FroggoCookies responds:

aw thank you!! im doing that rn currently <33

Also, Idk if i made a mistake or not.. it sounds pretty normal to me, I think it's just not meant to be heard thru earphones thats all

[[SNES]]

I don't remember the SNES (born in 2000), but this is still pretty cute.
Loop of the spinning SNES in the opening obviously doesn't do a full spin, but Pen's bouncy dance moves were pretty cool.

StarryPen responds:

Yeah I kinda got lazy with the spinning snes lol

[FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S COLLAB]

A top-notch collab, loaded with truly beautiful animation and pure comedy gold, with some cleverly timed jumpscares as the cherry on top.

JAM-POWER responds:

I appreciate u boss! Thanks
I’m glad u enjoyed it! :)

[It's Shredder!]

Dramatic-as-hell setup, pretty good punchline.
Welcome to Newgrounds, I can tell you're gonna do just fine.

SprinBla responds:

Oh thank you! :)

[Project Dynasty Aone]

A pretty solid and stylish ass-kicking, with plenty of creative attacks.
Animation was a pleasing sight, too.

bloodseer03 responds:

Hey there thanks for the comment! Sorry it took so long!

[JC Marquez Art's 2024 Post-Production Reel]

This is some reel-y good stuff - gives an otherworldly feeling, mainly.

jcmarquezart responds:

Thanks!

[Observación]

Short, but sweet animatic - seeing Jeny represented with a stock image you drew over was pretty funny. No clue where you got the audio from - I'd like to know.

Not sure who the OC coloured in red is, but she seems pretty crazy.

Meatyomonster29 responds:

Thanks! I colored them with their signature colors to save time lol.(⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠)

[Feathers On Crack]

Last I checked, crack doesn't cause hallucinations. Either Feathers' metabolism is pretty damn alien, or someone's fucked with his rocks.

Either way, it was pretty fun to see them get fucked up by drugs.

LavvieGuroKitsune responds:

LMAO! I am not sure how a dinosaur would react to crack... I wasn't keen on feeding crack to a bird for reference materials! XD
