RYKEO's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sonic vs Rainbow Dash]

= Hahahaha!! No but seriously who won..

When i saw the title i rolled my eyes and then face palm myself HARD!.........................

After 3 hours later of awakening from my face palm knockout, i looked at the title and then..............................

7 hours later after awakening from my SECOND face palm knockout i then began to watch the show, and Jesus....Talk about Fast food fatality, the brutality of this race makes Mortal Kombat look like a Disney production for sesame street prom officials, Directed by Barney.. so like when you have what i guess are the fastest furies on the cartoon planet, than you can bet your sonic rings both are on the need for speed to win the race, and i mean that literally, I didn't know rainbow dash was such a Jerk, but i get off on that, its a serious turn on......what?...... NO I DON'T HAVE A CRUSH ON THOSE PONIES! ....NO YOU SHUDDAP! NO YOU!.... oookay you win i do ..

But seriously talk about a race which has everyone killed, like sonic you just killed Amy......I think...i dunno you figure it out......not to mentioned Tails his freaking Sidekick, CAN WE HAVE A GOD DAM MEDIC OVER HERE?! ALONG WITH SOME SONIC EYE-BALL TRANSPLANTS!? THANK YOU!!

......No but seriously who won? =3

The Verdict:
The presentation was sexy, along with the style of how the worlds were merged capturing the characters at a decent level, the animation at times was ok, the sound quality was very good and the voice acting wasn't too bad either,the direction was Black comedy and dam straight, if sonic can play "around the world in 2 minutes" and leave all his friends dead, then he has issues....... Sorry DR Robotnik pools closed.

No but seriously who won?.... =3

MegaJamesStudios responds:

Glad you liked it, and very glad it took you 10 hours to even give it a chance.

[Digimon: extreme soccer?]

= Now in the industry we call that "Gotta Soccem'all"

Ever wanted to see, digimons play soccer? OF COURSE NOT! but you can here in this, what i can only describe is soccer without the goal post..... I guess they were improvising...
And i mean they take the whole soccer thing very seriously as if they're life depended on it....oh wait...

The Verdict
The presentation is decent, but also cheap using the same sprite to clone the opposition, also i question if these are even your sprites..
I enjoyed the pace the animation was driven at, giving out true potential and accurate coordination, Sound quality was decent, and the direction was action based, giving out a remarkable tool of good effects of background and foreground styles, for an enjoyable experience.

UMM... THANKS??

[Happy InDOOMpendence Day]

= You do know England doesn't have a kidney bank, but it does have a Liverpool....pfft makes sence to me i guess..

So after finding out that holding the X button playstation controller dosen't skip the cut scene of this animation, we find ourselfs in a room, to what i can only describe is the batchelers room of a half baked nostalgic nerd, i only say that because i think someone forgot to upgrade their games console like about 11 years ago, i mean seriously who keeps 2 balls on the floor? do i really have to go there with the heath ledgers dark knight quote, no i mean seriously what happened? did your tennis balls drop off hmmm?

But i digress, the feature starts off showing a guy with a Michael J fox mullet, styled for some hard core action, in what i could only describe are the tactics taken from some Green army guy from toy story, yeah! The scale fits!
His intentions are remarkably simple, Kill anything that's not American! oh that sweet american dream, it never dares to disappoint me.........Seriously this guy needs to get laid.
And i mean exactly that!!! he pretty much kills the British and even the freaking Natives!
Jeese this guys a douch.. oh and eh he aslo kills the camera guy, ......i guess he just learnt that the camera guy was on a expiring Visa? i dunno..

The Verdict:
I have no idea what i just saw, nor could i describe the visuals apart from it being photographed and merged with animation, this kind of style is not only underrated but is also incredibly clever if you know how to do it, The Animation is interesting with motion and set perception with the camera the presentation was more involved with camera work, in my opinion the characters were just icing on the cake to make a quick driven feature, the direction was well done and obviously is black comedy driven, the sound quality was top notch, and i laughed hard when i heard one of the familiar death screams which i remember from playing Command and conquer, the voice acting is hardcore and is well synched with the character too, if this is only just the beginning of something big, then watch out! because it's time to kick ass.

teaandcheese responds:

Wow. That's the most amount of words written in reponse to anything we've ever made... ever! Thanks for taking the time :D Glad you liked it! (Sorry for all the balls)

[Drop the Bass]

= Wow i think someone just relized that he wasn't getting anything better than a desk job in the place he just destroyed.

I guess i've always said it, Violence speaks louder than Action...I mean Action Speaks louder than Steaming off your anger at those evil guys, that said i'm calling them evil its mainly because i don't like the colour green, Leprechauns included dammit!
I mean jesus, this guy comes out from no where and starts killing everyone, i guess this is for world peace.... *Nods*
Either way despite not making any sence, my impression of this was as if i had just tuned into a movie 50 minutes in and ends with no epilogue.

The Verdict:
The animation is sprite based, however i have to question weather these sprites are even yours to begin with, you haven't even wrote it in the description.
The quality at times, is notably rushed and not rechecked since i could see certain sprites had bad Jpeg quality printed all over them.
The direction was WICKED SICK! K.O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With anything that is battle based i am a big fan of it period, so yes this caught my attention!
The sound was wasn't too bad either!
I look forward to seeing more of this fabulous work.

LoneVeritas responds:

1. They said that he was fired. In response, he set fire to the entire building.
2. The owner of the materials used in this animation is listed in the credits.
3. Yes, it was rushed. I hate to pull the noob card, but upon importing the png sprites into Flash, some of them morphed into jpegs. I'll be sure to be more aware of that if it ever occurs again the moment I start animating.
4. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the review.

[Shao Kahn Party 2]

= It's official the 3 stooges have just been given Kung-Fu BALLS of fury!! * Applause *

Right off the bat you know something is going to be a blast when you just had the entire cast including justin Bieber in what i could only say is the most EXPENSIVE blockbuster of retired Mortal Kombat sprites you'll ever get to see in this day of 3D age.
The Episode starts off with a BOOGIE NIGHTS blast out! the whole scene made me want to grow an Afro thrust my pelvis and do the night fever dance!
The show was so awesome, HELL even Cyrax managed to grow a mouth out of his Breathing mask,
Pfft! come on if Micheal bay had to give Optimus prime a mouth out of his mask, THEN SO THE HELL CAN THIS GUY! ANYWAY MORE MUSIC FROM CYRAX!!

After some Sprite dope awesomeness, we get what i can only assume are the main protagonist of the story, Sub Zero, Liu Kang and the so called trolling Kung Lao, (You know i think he's actually like that in the game too),Explain about the adventure they just had, and how fun it is working together. The scene that did it for me was the matrix scene beautiful , just beautiful, Not to mention of how impressive the length of this movie was.

The Verdict:
The presentation is how i would do it, it was excellent! always start off with a bang.
The animation, well... it's obvious that these aren't your sprites, these belong to Midway, with the exception of Michael Jackson from the Segas moonwalker, and the sprite sheet can only give you so much in choices, having said that, there was alot of involvement in harnessing certain environments and objects to Re-emulated the scenes,however such additions like Justin and Barney, are nothing more than images. The voice acting was well chosen from many people who i am familiar with Such as Rina.

This was without the best Animated feature i've seen this week.

Alucard responds:

Dude, your review was great! Thanks!

[ECA: Stop Vagita]

= Omg my testicles just exploded from the awesomenes of that movie *Pop* Pop*

Jesus....Where do i begin? first of all this is exactly how to make entertainment!
This had everything in it, like holy cow, you had everyone in this movie, pretty much.
It's very rare to see a marathon of allstars, on here but the one thing that killed me laughing was pretty much everything!

The animation isn't great, the direction is a roller-coaster of insanity! The plot? lol
the Dora scene was VERY AWKWARD, other than that it was pretty well done, with the allstars of everyone we pretty much know.

The easter egg i'm going to assume is BraveHeart doing the Barrel roll.

NewRandom responds:

The easter egg is not the Barrel roll.
I will give a hint, for those that are interested in it.

It's a kinda hidden episode, content locked up which can be activated by clicking on an certain event.

[DnB Sheep]

= I hate you because i didn't like the video but i Digged the WICKED SICK tune!

That's all i got, but the stuff on your website looks sweet.
As for what was done on this video, it was simply a collaboration of synchronized timing with cut out animals, not really much on the animation, just a fun treat to hear.

BadBoyMcCoy responds:

You can download the track for free, use the link in the author comments.

[DIABLO IS BACK B_TCHES!]

= If i had to name what kind of a creature he was in "Furry Land" i think i would be giving big bird too much credit.

A Triumph of what is to be narrated by the fellow story teller, shows it's true colours with a glorious back story, of a warrior who had become a name for his village, until 12 years later his test for recapturing the victor would be tested once again..

The animation was pretty decent, with some very good transition effects from different perspectives, such as the big beast being defeated and the scene of the village.
Although having said that, the animation can also seem to be quirky at times too, the direction was well thought out and planned to an extent, until near to the end it looked like that the animator ran out of ideas and started adding random jumping sharks like the pokemon battle interface, although the impression it first gave me was a serious drama that soon was shunned away when i saw that these characters where not human, if this is comedy then more has to be harnessed around the humour factor..

Zatchell responds:

It's pretty much what we were aiming at, some humor with a slice of drama. The end may seem a bit confusing, but that's because a part 2 is planned for this video. We decided to go with cartoon animal characters for our animation, but we'd like to hear your opinion on whether you would have liked it better if it were humans instead of animals. Nevertheless, we appreciate your honesty, thanks for reviewing!
