Kwing's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[VGCats: Number One]

Poor

The graphics and animation make this look as if it was made in 2007 or earlier, and the voice quality suggests likewise. Overall it can be overlooked, though. The crude humor, however, can not. Talking to yourself in an overly descriptive manner is not funny.

[Madness Abrogation]

Simply Incredible

Wow, such improvement! Alright, first off, let's start with the graphics... Same old stuff, but the mostly black and white thing is still damn stylish. Hank's claw seems to look somewhat more attractive now, as he's able to actually use it now.

The animation was the high point, though. The auditor had some seriously rad frame by frame work put into him, and his effects were simply incredible. I also like the way the two protagonists act like a two-man army, and their charades (especially the rock-paper-scissors bit) were cute little add-ons. I don't like how the enemies just HAPPEN to have melee weapons when the protagonists don't have guns, though. It's dumb and unrealistic. Other than that, though, this is just a wonder to behold. I found the ending quite amusing, too, and laughed pretty hard when "OH GOD NO" flashed across the screen as the clown was lifted up.

I really liked the music this time around, which seemed to be a medley of some previous installments' soundtracks.

As for the layout, I'm kind of flustered that there was no pause button, nor a scene selection.

Overall, incredible though. Nice and long, with extremely good animation and fresh moves.

[Pokemon But With Animals]

Funny I Guess

It's decent, but the graphics are poor, the voice acting could be better, and the jokes get old kind of quickly. The animation is decent, though, and I did chuckle a few times.

Even so, as good as the idea was, the execution was somewhat poor.

[30 Halfwit Hero]

Sorry, What?

This wasn't very funny at all, and yes, I've even played Half-Minute Hero. The voice acting is horrible and none of the characters show any emotion. The font is poorly chosen, and the dialogue is just awful. The humor seems forced, and while with better presentation it may have been funny, that presentation was not present.

[A 2010]

Decent

The placement and color are pretty good, but I think it'd have been really cool if you'd made all of the text a bit bigger and maybe had the 2 in 2010 touching the A itself, just a little. Also, I didn't like how the text all topped off at nearly the same Y. Somehow it would have been more stylistic to displace the A and 2010 more.

If you have a copy of Flash, why don't you sink some time into making more stuff? I'd love to see what you could come up with when you really apply yourself.

[Left 4 Speed 2]

Excuse Me... What?

I'm sure most of you are looking at the score and thinking I hate this... No, I don't. I just... Didn't like it. It didn't do it for me. I didn't get the humor and I didn't think it was very funny.

For one, the graphics are alright, but certain things such as shading and animation are really primitive, and I wouldn't have expected such poor quality movements for a Flash so highly hailed. I also didn't like how quiet the voices were compared to the sound effects. Although I liked both (the effects were particularly good), the discrepancy was odd and detracted from the experience. On top of that, I had to right-click the first frame to get it to play.

The biggest part is evidently the 'humor' but I didn't so much as crack a smile while watching the whole thing. Admittedly, I've never played Left 4 Dead, so I assume I'm missing out on a lot, but gross stuff, people acting spastic, and stereotypical art styles don't amuse me. It's not that I was offended or thought they were really distasteful... Just that they weren't entertaining at all.

[Warriors of the Portal]

Wow!!

Absolutely incredible. The 3D modeling is extremely sharp, and there's barely any pixelation, even though this obviously isn't Flash. It's also very low memory, 26MB being incredibly petite considering how much is in here... And the lack of lag is astonishing as well.

For 3D, it's amazing how realistic the characters look, as many have a tendency to be blocky. The lighting also looked expertly done, and the voice acting worked as well. The only things I didn't like were some parts of the animation, which seemed to lack realistic easing and physics, and the lack of involvement of all the characters included. If you weren't going to show Hank, why include him, aye?

I really didn't understand the medals, though. In fact, I can't tell if it's interactive or what.

Still, everything you have here is just MINDBLOWING.
