SeanMonroe's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

["Last Man on the Moon"]

Not bad! :)

I really did like this, actually. I'm always surprised when I see something so well done by clicking a random portal entry. Got a little disappointing once the Clocks showed up, cause I was really digging the video...but that might have been your whole point ;)

AsthmaticHamster responds:

Actually...no, it wasn't the point...
At first, this was the story of a little boy dying of cancer...
But then I got lazy 'n stuff...

Wow, I've never seen an MK movie!

I respect your ability to make Flash movies in a manner vastly superior to my nearly computer illiterate ass, and the fact that you did a hand-drawn clip at the end of the video does add to your credibility as a Flash artist. The thing is, for me, though, that I'm kinda getting tired of seeing this brainless FanFic animation. All the MK characters have a battle royale? That's not really original. While I appreciate that you made is all flow so well, and it was sorta funny that some characters came in and died like it was nothing, it's just so exhausting going to newgrounds every day and seeing at least 20 new submissions for SMB, MK, and other miscelaneous video games or anime. Originality is always one of my number one concerns. Everyone has it in them to create their own ideas, so give it a shot! Don't stick with the comfort of well-known characters and plots--demonstrate your own ability!

Again, props for the hand-drawn bit.

First off I never claimed that an all out MK battle royale was original. If you read my comments at all, its hommage to something I love and bringing something different to the Mario-takeover-Newgrounds phase we're seeing here. Basically it was an experiment. Secondly, I'm not getting paid to make flash, I do it on my own time for fun. It's enjoyable to me and all the others who like MK, and that's all that matters. You're not forced at gun point to sift through Newgrounds watching all the sprite animations. That's another reason I added a preview of my hand drawn flash to appeal to those who dont appreciate Sprite flash as much. All Im saying is it's hommage. Seen Kill Bill? Why don't you tell Quentin Tarantino to stop ripping off all my kung-fu movies and anime that probably 99% of Newgrounds has never even heard of. I've seen "Matrix" effects way before the Matrix even came out in many hong kong flicks. Take your time to contribute to Newgrounds with something original and then we'll talk some more. P.S. Workin on something orignal as I type this.

Interesting.

I normally don't go for this Japanamation stuff, but this movie had a style I've not seen in other anime movies, or really anything in Newgrounds. Very interesting. Good job.

Very nice

Strangely touching when Strawberry clock is in heaven with candy and the puppy. Also very strange to start seeing Strawberry as some kind of heroic figure...like in Kindgom Hearts when Mickey Mouse shows up and you're like "Holy shit! It's MICKEY MOUSE! W00t!!!" :)

[Alice]

My new favorite :)

It's funny...when I first watched this one I thought it was kinda stupid. But I've watched it like 20 times since then and I love it now. It's my new favorite. It's a subject that's been done over and over, but for some reason this one was much more touching. Good job =)

[Foamy's Rant : Foamy The Squirrel]

Sorta funny I guess

Though it sounds like someone is reflecting on their own problems rather than the problems of "people he hates" ;)

[Rise of the MK: Part 1]

:***(

OMFG! Did anyone else think Mario's funeral was like the saddest thing ever seen on NG?!

Can't wait for the rest :)

[Independence]

Very nice

People tend to forget that content matters, not just appearance. I enjoyed this one quite a bit, despite the subpar graphics. The camera shots and such show that you know your way around the program, so I don't doubt you can do better graphics...sometimes scintilating graphics are not the best for the movie.

[MK: Outtakes]

Peanut butter jelly time!

That was great, with Cyrax. I really didn't see that coming. It was cool when the banana guy danced on Jax's head. Awesome tribute to both MK and PBJ hehe :)

[Super Console Wars Part 2]

10 is not high enough

Seriously, I wish I could give this game like a 500. I am in awe that some of the things you did were possible in Flash, and just amazed by the style and entertainment value of the whole thing. Brilliant.
