DumbassDude's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[TANKMEN 2]

Tankmen Hilarity, oh lovely.

Good Points:
As usual, it's hilarious because of the voice acting, the comedy styling of all the characters and the animation. The introduction to one off characters was a great idea, this will offer alot more possibilities to future episodes. The colour styling is really unique and you know even from a third party site that this is Newgrounds.

Bad Points:
I think it needed more dialect than action because really thats what your good at Johnny, funny scripts. The whole tank chase was good, but you should have compensated that with more dialect and a longer episode, perhaps added at the beginning between the captain and the sniper.

Overall:
Hilarious flash and great addition to the Tankmen series.

[Mastermind 4]

"I fucking love PAPER!"

Good Points:
Your art style is probably the best on the site, it just looks so DC comic styled and not many artists on NG use black to emphasise shadows so much. The flash is also perfect length, it's not too long or too short and you don't get bored and your not left wishing it was longer.

Bad Points:
Granted it was funny, it just wasn't as funny as your last mastermind and I feel flashes that don't excel the humour 4 episodes through the series aren't particularly great.

Overall:
Good flash, I just feel it wasn't as good as the previous 3 for humourous reasons.

Shit on your face, bonus.

Good Points:
The animation and art is incredibly good, big improvement since the street fighter collab, and great animation considering it probably didn't take long to make.
The voice acting is really good quality and the script is so casual, believable and that what makes it so hilarious.

Bad points:
Your animations always seem to have alot of good art but not much animation, general movement and etc. I suggest you start a project which involves a lot more movement, it seems a little stale most of the time and sometimes can get boring.

Overall:
Hilarious flash indeed, though please take the 'more movement' advice into consideration, I want to see what you can do.

[Racism Doesn't Pay]

Good message, disappointing presentation.

Good Points:
It was a good flash considering it was regarding racism and why it is bad and what we can do about it, I also liked the colours you used, just by using the one, you used a hypothetical situation with a non existant difference rather than calling out in life discriminations, so anyone can relate.

Bad Points:
It was very short and the drawings seemed pretty half arsed to tell you the truth, you could have put just a little bit more detail into it. The length was what the flash very below average, perhaps converting it into an actual 5 minute episode involving similar if not better messages.

Overall:
Decent flash, though the animation and length were very below average, it did put across a very meaningful message, not many NG flashes do that.
Perhaps a remake involving a plot and better animation will get you a better reputation.

[Nameless 6 Vol.3 Part 1/2]

Hilarious, great animation.

Good Points:
The best, most hilarious part was definitly when they were interviewing chocolate lady about cripple boy then making fun of her sex life with a quadruple amputee. Your animation style is very fluent yet basic, it suits very well and helps the main characters stand out.

Bad Points:
The only thing I can complain about is the length of the episode, it may be 7 minutes long but it feels like it's only on for 3.

Overall:
Fantastic flash, definitly suits the score, I recommend making your flashes longer, not too longer but long enough to make the viewer satisfied, perhaps 10 minutes? Great animation non the less.

LazyMuffin responds:

Your bad point is silly, sorry.
I cant bend time and space and make 7 minutes feel like 14, and since it went by quickly, you must have not looked at the clock and just enjoyed it.

Also, theres another volume that's 6 more minutes, so buh. ):
Thanks anyway.

[Madness Aggregation]

Fantastic addition to the Madness Series.

Good Points:
The animation was smooth and vibrant with colours, despite every character being naturally grey, you seemed to pull off your colours and gradients very well. It seems every single Madness flash you make, you can always add something fresh and original to the dish, which is amazing after 9 episodes of practically the same thing.

Bad Points:
The major bad points, it ended on a cliffhanger, I mean yes 5:10 is quite a while for madness flash and anymore will probably have bored people... But understand, it has been 7 months since your last madness flash and you can understand that ending such a great flash abruptly at the main part can disappoint you a little.

Improvements:
You need alot more movement in your background, whether the background have flashing lights or machines or you move the background entirely at points. Needs more carnage, more enemies and of course I take into the account of lag possibilities with so many symbols on screen, still it would be nice to have more killings. Maybe next time, you can have a kill counter?

Overall:
One of, if not the best Madness yet. Cannot wait until the next one.

[Tall 'n Short]

Simple but pretty funny

Good Points:
I like alot of flashes because of the simplicity, and this is a simple flash that he good voice acting, reasonable presentation (looks clean) and a funny plot, despite knowing it probably took you like, less than an hour, I still found it funny.

Bad Points:
Despite the funny script, voice acting and such, its still a pretty effortless bit of animation, a little bit motion tween here and there, and thats it. Because of this, it lowers my score down a little bit, of this is a flash in the style of your other flashes, it would have been way better. I know it was a spur of the moment thing because Stamper and Johnny did it, still, not a step forward now, is it?

Overall:
It was pretty funny, but quite the step back, not impressed.

[There She Is!! final step]

There she is, finally.

Good Points:
I the animation and colours were great, as always, I loved how smooth is was. I loved the new techniques you used, 3D sections and so on. The music also fitted very well, though it was not my cup of tea, I can't imagine any genre/type of music would have went so well.

Bad Points:
I would have to say the main bad point is that its more or less the same thing, it gets boring, don't get me wrong, its great animation, it just didn't seem so different from the others. The styling is also unoriginal, it doesn't seem like its yours, perhaps a different styling of japanese anime.

Overall:
Very good flash, but I felt it was the same thing. Perhaps later work will show me your own style.

[Frost'D]

Very Funny Flash :3

Good Points:
I loved the artwork of this flash, your have a unique style which I really like. The voice acting was pretty good as well, pretty believable if you catch my drift. I especially liked the music, it seemed to fit really well, and just MADE the ending :D

Bad Points:
Too short, I know you heard it a million times but at the end of the day, thats a bad point, perhaps if you started a few weeks earlier you could have added perhaps an extra minute, drew it up to a higher quality and so on.

Overall:
Great Christmas flash MindChamber, still amazed you did it in a week. Good job.

MindChamber responds:

I agree an extra week or two wouldve been nice to polish up the artwork, but the length of it is perfect for the joke

[New Year Collab]

Nice Collab

Good Points:
Nice Collabaration, too bad i couldnt be in it, when I get my new computer, ill be back in no time =D
MetaBugs collab piece was most likely the funniest, its graphics were good and so was its concept, well done!
Little rena, i didnt much get yours, new years wishes and all that, but there wasnt much animation going on.
Ishirm, weird, all I can say, great but weird, I liked it =D
DiverN00b, your piece had meaning, and was good and had feeling, but you could have added some of your normal animation in the progress. Good Job though.
The sound was more or less good, and I liked the menu. The humour was great and the style was mixed of course, good job everyone.

Bad points:
IShirm, good part but the voice lacked, kind of grotty and requires you turning up your speakers. Little rena, try add some more animation as I have already stated. Would have been great with more parts from other people such as Drunken or N00bKing.

Overall:
Nice collab, though the improvements are something you guys should take under consideration.
