SelfProclaimedGod's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Picos Popcorn at the Park]

Meh.

I guess the animation was ok, but it's not funny, it has no voice acting, and it was just not very entertaining. So don't quit your day job yet!

I've already quit :/

This is stupid.

It was just a bunch of dumb videos. It has nothing to do with the fact that it's pot related although 4-20 is the Stupidest thing people recognize as a significant day. Besides that the animation wasn't terrible on all of them, yes some were bad but just the fact that there was no point to it. There was no story. No purpose. Just a bunch of short clips of people smoking. One of them was just a green eye. What does that even mean? I've never seen someone stoned have a green shot eye. Your attempt to look cool to all these 4-20 people was a success i suppose but it's still lacks depth and meaning.

I leave you with a quote from Winston Churchill....

"The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."

Winston Churchill - June 4, 1940

Meh...

People must be high. Seriously? BEST SERIES EVER!? I mean don't get me wrong you are very talented but it is lacking in several areas. So to all you people put down the bong, get some rest, and then watch it again.

Allow me to explain myself by saying that I do find it a personal distaste when I see an extremely talented author pour so much time and effort into stick figures. I mean, I get it, you're not lazy, you are trying to make a minimalist statement, but you could have just as easily made silhouette figures and added another layer of depth to your artwork.

The biggest flaw however is in the storytelling. I don't care how much you try, the whole "lone soldier silently making his way through some over defended fortress" concept is tired, put it to rest. There was almost nothing in here that helped me to identify with the character other than an arbitrary sense that he is supposed to be the "good guy," for all I really know he was robbing the place. As the flash went on I started to struggle with a greater question, that of course being "Do I really care?" You never gave me any reason to care about anything that was happening, don't get me wrong, your skill in animation made me WANT to care, I just failed to connect with anything in the story.

Again, This piece is amazingly well animated, however an advance in storytelling technique and overall character development will bump your work up from "kitchy internet fad" to something that is truly professionally marketable.

I leave you now with a quote from John F. Kennedy...

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

John F. Kennedy - September 12, 1962

Hi.

So if I made silhouettes, what would be the difference? I must disagree and say that if I would add anything other stickfigures to the series, it would loose all it's feeling and turn out just bad.

And ofcourse, you can't make something completely original today, all ideas are based on others.
