Kwing's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Slippery Shower]

Reminds me a lot of Oney's skits. Short and to the point, with one of those absurdist twists. The animation is really great, though it's more silly than it is funny. Overall a pretty good animation, but also somewhat forgettable.

[Warspawn Hides]

This was mad amusing. Can't really speak on the length since this was animated around an existing audio clip, but the animation was a little weak and the guy you drew looks absolutely NOTHING like Spawn. This animation is a pretty good pot shot at him though.

[The Dojo Collab 2]

I just found this in my feed and I really don't know what to say. This is really incredible. You've put together a GIGANTIC assembly of artists - most of these people I don't know, but I was surprised to see animators like Domics making an appearance when the dojo started as a pretty niche FluidAnims thing. The proportions of this animation were on par with TopStick, what with all of the different animators involved, the difference here being that this is actually a collab.

For whatever reason, this made me really, really miss Luccas. For all of the fullbody animation and flawless particle effects here, I didn't see a lick of 3D animation and I get this gut feeling like he's the last missing piece in this collab, even moreso than Phil.

Not sure what to say other than that this is mad impressive. Though, I really didn't care for the music. Thumping techno beats have always annoyed me and they seem to have become more common in Stickpage/FluidAnims animations as of late. Call me old-fashioned but I miss the use of X-Ray Dog and nu metal from animations of the past.

[Chuck's New Tux!]

Gotta give credit for the presentation. The graphics could stand to be a little more colorful but it's really not bad. This progresses naturally too, and has great sound effects and music, though the voice acting was INCREDIBLY obnoxious. The ending was pretty damned funny. I think it built up to an 'expect the unexpected' moment, but seeing the gore at the end was a great contrast in comparison to the cheesy buildup.

[Waterlollies]

Quite interesting. I remember not thinking much of this when it came out, but this is damned impressive. The particle effects, frame by frame, everything are totally spot on and not only is this animated well but you really set the mood too. My only complaint is that the camera angles change very frequently which sometimes makes it hard to get a good feel for what's going on, or even to see more than a few smoothly animated movements at a time.

[Monster hunter Egg runs]

Yep, that just goes to prove it, I think. No one ever makes a Monster Hunter animation unless it's to bitch about how unfair the game is.

I felt like the whole thing about the eggs popping up repeatedly was a little deviant from the true Monster Hunter world, where you typically only get ~3 eggs per quest. However, I definitely did enjoy the animation and the wyvern chugging the egg made me laugh. Nice animation, really good work with the sounds. Seemed a little short on ideas but I really liked this.
