RYKEO's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Strong Pokemon]

= Ash was fun to do <3
Pretty nostalgic too, it takes me back lol, it's always fun working with you dude, and i agree with SirUndead, you have great talent.

Skullworth

MangaFood responds:

Ahh, too bad you don't VA more. You have a cool voice. Still waiting on your animation.

[Antumbra]

= You know........This would make a very good Prozac commercial.

I can't help thanking that I've had days like this, but if anything coffee and nocturnal people don't combine very well, especially when you find yourself in a scene which seems to be the perfect audition for Indiana Jones The last crusade "Leap of faith the wrong way" but i think that's looking in too deep into the whole "am i i dreaming factor"
Well either way him and Tyler Durden has something in common... "He is Jacks Suspension of Despair.."

The Verdict:
The presentations was FILM AT 11! The kind of stuff that usually slots in on Adult swim without it being restricted for all ages. The Sound was 5.1? Seriously it was very well done in depth i could hear everything from the ambience feel.
The Animation was Suitable for the job and decent. The Directions was Experimental, Which is more than what i can say for Coffee..

Pyrowman responds:

Thank you for your colourful review! I didn't drink coffee at all during my time as a fellow night stalker. However, I had to think of a goal and coffee seemed a good option. The other option was a copy machine, which would correspond very well with the constant falling. Unfortunately, it didn't really feel like the best solution and would lead to a lot more time spent animating.
I am a complete amateur when it comes to sound, so I am glad to hear you like it! I recorded almost all sounds myself, a lot of it is Foley (for instance: the swoosh sounds were made with a tennis raquet and the deep drone was me blowing on the windscreen of my micropone) and was very fun to do!

Again, thank you for your nice feedback, I wish more people would write comments like you!

[Star of the North Fist]

= Based on a true story by Chuck Norris

It's like watching the replay edition of the Fist of the north star, and the fact why they made a a TV edition to fill in the gaps, either way both versions were awesome.
So as usual having the crap beaten out of him' ken dose what he dose best, beating the living crap out of the bad guys who are auditioning for Mad Max 3, but seriously no Atatatatatatatatat?!
Come on!!! with out Atatatatatatatata! it's not fist of the north star or star of the north fist....
Either way what really did it for me was the amount of effort put into the style of the animation capturing not only the style of art but the style of the 80s animation culture as well.

The Verdict:
The presentation, was Ahhhh-atatatatatatatatatatatatatata aaaaatoooooo!!!!!
The animation as mentioned before was excellent bringing in depth and recognition of the characters, the Voice acting could of been better, although i believe it was intentionally done that way to be funny..
The direction was black comedy with a tint of sarcasm, yeah! yeah! i know it wasn't a perfect plot but this movie still kicked ass, and your feature is proof of that.

MangaFood responds:

Was thinking about putting it in, but it felt almost too cliched...

[Stick Ayumu Dance]

= He Dances Better than me...I'm Serious. All i know is how to do the chicken dance...

So yeah? it's Japanese so that's not good because i don't understand it although that didn't matter considering the dancing explained all that, the stick man probably doesn't have a story either, but considering the descriptions emphasis of "Boredom", that seems to go a long way

The Verdict:
Ehm.........It's................a Stick man dancing?
The animation isn't bad if this was for a story board but even those characters need meat and eyes and mouth...The direction, i doubt there is one it's too short to say, however i tend to finish of that japanese school so i can establish if that guy wasn't from Banzai...

RebellionFA responds:

Oh thank you for your comment.
I'll probably upload a full length soon. :)

[Growth]

= Ehm.......Is the sequal going to be called Death becomes her by anychance?

You see kids?.....Never take candy from strangers, especially kids who are blond and don't have blue eyes... otherwise you'll die..............Seriously, MEDIC!!!!!!!
Talk about the unexpected, i really didn't expect it to end like the way it was going to, kinda harsh as well considering she gave me that warm feeling in my heart as if i just ate layer cake with chocolate syrup and have her tickle me, but something tells me she wasn't human to begin with, by the way is that Small person who lives in a tree around a polluted city of cars and vans ever going to be explained?

The Verdict:
The Presentation was pretty decent, however there was no involvement of voice acting of anykind, this is understandable because is one of those "Silent movies" so my guess was it was intentional.
The Animation at times was sometimes static or limited, but occasionally well done!
The Direction is a well done drama with it defining it's story through pictures rather than words..

Kayjun responds:

thanks for the review. I don't plan on making a sequel for this movie and yes the story has some flaws but it was the best I could do with my limited resources :( also that is exactly how I wanted the audience to feel :D the small person was just a "background" in a sense so she isn't really important.

[Bill Cosby's Zaggity Pops]

= LMFAO!!!! You know whats funny? Thats exactly how he sounds and talks!! XD

This is a guy who i haven't seen in like 20 years, man this whole thing just kills me laughing.
First of all that was probably the funniest thing i've seen on here to date, and second with FAT albert being Bills creator, it's quite cutting and ironic to see them both meet face to face..
But seriously when the hell did Albert turn into Gangster Biggy?!
I don't give a dam this was genius..

The Verdict:
The presentation was well captured from their aspects...
The sound and Voice was what gave it it's additional boost of humour and i obviously speak on the terms of Voice acting.
The animation was well done and well planned, The direction was a comedy short, this includes punching Albert's lights out!

Snazzymation responds:

Thanks for the awesome lengthy review. I am thankfull you enjoyed it!

[New Eden - Mating Call]

= Lmao now that's what you call good comedy

Although being my second time reviewing this, it seems that Hamilton the Short guy who needs a hair cut, and Murray who i swear is the rejected audition for the emperor in Disneys "the emperors new groove".
Both dudes are taking a stroll in "who gives a dam vile" when they come across an alien playing pretend pinball with the other alien, ( i hear you can get about 5 quarters if you tilt it 1/3 to the right)
ANYWAY!
So as typical Peeping toms they laugh at the rare yet random event, this obviously throws in an suggested invite call for the alien, as Murray is dragged and is used for a human pinball machine..
Well that's not too bad i don't see what the big de-

*Reads description*

*Clears Throat* In the words of Darth vader...............NO THE PINBALL MACHINE WAS ALIVE
I FELT IT!!!......................*BREAKS OUT OF BONDED SWIVEL CHAIR*
NAAAAAAUUUUOOOOOOO!!....

Empire: yes... *quick broad smile*

The Verdict:
Just like my last review this doesn't fail to deliver, and is still at a decent level of entertainment.
The sound along with voice acting is Top notch as always.
The direction is Comedy and is strongly recommended.

NewEdenseries responds:

Thanks!

We can already predict that your reviews are going to be a highlight for us each release day.

:)

["Seeing is Believing" rap]

= What a way to begin the weekend, complete badass give yourself a high Five!

Despite two guys who live in the house Rayman built, the video goes straight in for the kill as they start watching what i can only describe is the violent version of MTV's channel not in 3D not in 4D but in 5D which is like 3D but they are so real the guy can come out of the screen and go all homicidal all over their ass, which also includes transforming into crazy claw thing and then transforming into a human, and then looking at the audience wishing he could kill you but he can't because he needs the views and subscribers and likes on Facebook......Then goes back into the TV 1980s Captain N style...
This without a doubt made my weekend..

The Verdict:
The presentation was SUPREME VICTORY! YOU WIN! PERFECT! FLAWLESS VICTORY!
Hence the 5 stars, alot of effort was put into making this project and it shows..
The sound quality along with the vocal work was Essential for this feature to work,
you could say it's 1/3 of the short film without it.
The direction was Musical and i must admit this one had my most undivided attention..

MindChamber responds:

Haha and this review without a doubt made it all worth it......Capt N. Style!

[The Green Ranger Ep.1]

= I guess the moral here is don't join dangerous cults, Practice safe sects.

You see? i was right! JUNK food is the true source in unlocking my powers of awesomeness, and if anything blueberry,(Which is my favourite amongst chocolate chip) Must have the minimum of 50 blueberries in them, those are the things in life that makes me a happy bunny.
Guess the only problematic thing is when you have a black guy, named after the 1994 -1996 power rangers, makes you wonder where his suite is...Oh wait he must be the"Ghetto Ranger"...Meh close enough, The production value of Power Rangers was always shady and back-alley related..

So anyway, aside from the story being "What the hell...?" the first scene is with a guy sparing on THE LAND OF COOKIES...................I'm going to say that again....THE LAND OF COOKIES.......

What...did he warp into Super Mario world Cookie land?
Anyway there's this guy with what i can only be described as having weirdest dress sense known for villains....yeah you know a villains a Villain, when they are some getting defeated while wearing Tutu's, give them a C+ for having Bravery, takes alot of guts to loose that level of dignity........no seriously they have issues.

And there's the guy with the "Jin Kazama hooded outfit" ....I guess he took lessons from Tekken fashion? This known Vigor of a persons super power is, yep you've guessed it! BlueBerry Muffins.
This also gives him the ability to act like the Dwane Johnson for a moment while flying..

And last and not least, the old Guy in the Dojo... lol...do i really need to go there?...
Not to mention the "old mentor" has been always given the role of dying by rejected evil student,
Or the mentor is murdered by another clan, or just dies!.....The blah blah blah the Good guy has to avenge the old master......But really? Goukens theme?....not very original at all..

The Verdict:
The months of how long this took you had paid off, this wasn't too bad but wow for only 11 minutes this was an incredibly large file, you may need to fix that problem.
The presentation wasn't too bad but nothing special either, the sound was alright with a few noticeable sound effects, this obviously is someone that is into his beat'em up games, which is pretty evident.
The voice acting is limited, and just sounds like the same person, mainly because it is the same person...
The Direction is Action Comedy, with bad guys in Tutu's getting beat up by guys who eat Blueberry muffins for breakfast.

TheGreeNate responds:

Youi rated this four stars!? Wow...I didn't expect ity to get that. You caught me off guard with that *ahem* "Ghetto Ranger"comment but eh it's cool. The important thing here is, you looked at it and told me what you thought of it and for that I thank you. In the description (that is if you read the description) it says that a large majority of this animation was FREESTYLED. That means I didn't write a script to it. I just messed around with a microphone and recorded whatever came to mind. I'ts obvious that I need to improve, and trust me when I tell you I am going to do my best to. Thanx again for watching. Oh and the large file thing, read the response I told to the guy above.

[New Eden - Trailer]

= Those two stranded, would be me having asking them what's the definition of a will? (Oh come on....It's a dead giveaway).

So are these two"suckers" that didn't quite make it into the final cut of Star Treck acedemy in learning how to "Not to fly a ship crashing with everyone dead and keep you're annoying colleges alive"....Generally sound like they make a habbit in making people wish that they were on Shepard's Normandy...
Who the hell gave this guy the Keys to this spaceship? I'm not going to lie managing an enterprise knocks the wind out off you....

I mean there's :

(1) There's the Alien Tax..
(2) The Space Tax
(3) Alien Immigrant Control.
(4) Diplomacy over 1 galaxy...
(5) Jet Pack Fuel..
(6) Food for your neglected fishes..

With two guys fighting for their lives on a new planet...My dollar bet, is that i'll give them a week..
Unless Testicles burgers are for vegetarians, then they're pretty much screwed, now if you were in the word of Howard the duck! now your kicking some serious ass..

The Verdict:
The presentation was pretty well done, but Really?.. 40.3mb for a trailer? you might want to learn how to make your projects smaller in size..
The sound and Voice Acting was pretty fine and cute, Not to mention good coordination..
The Direction is Sci-Fi comedy, this mainly includes two guys who are stranded, I'm actually quite surprised Murray didn't take his gloves off and say "That's another fine mess you've gotten us into." .....What?.... Too "Fat man thin man" Cliché?

NewEdenseries responds:

Hehe, all good questions ... guess you'll have to wait to see the pilot to find out.

We're just new to New Grounds so working out the best format to output in etc. Any tips?

Glad you liked it and you're dead on, we're following in the footsteps of many a great comedy duo. If it ain't broke ...
