Kharn's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Time Squad [Part 1]]

Horrible storyline

That's one weakly written storyline, man, and the dialogue is just horrible, really horrible.

Other than that, the style is good and the animations are fantastic.

[Brokeback Mountian II]

Hah, good fun!

Nice concept, man, bit weak on the follow-through. The joke doesn't run well and the animations aren't all that, though they're nice enough.

Overall well done.

[Foamy: Hurricane Special]

Ok, this is pushing the limits a little bit...

Foamy is very popular, ok, but don't you think cashing in on that by making an inanimate "flash movie" which is, in effect, an mp3 audio speech with an image tacked to it and getting it shoved on the front page because it's foamy is pushing your luck a leeetle bit far?

I'm not a big fan of foamy overal. Good jokes every now and again non-withstanding I fail to see what is so funny about a high-pitched voice with an animate squirrel ranting on several subjects. Usually I just conclude this is because high-pitched voices swearing a lot is not in my humour-category, but when you make a basic non-cartoon of it you're pushing it a bit far for me.

Failure in my book, with apologies

[Poverty Epidemic]

What is this, world poverty day?

Newgrounds isn't exactly the place for this kind of thing, man.

[We Hate It When...]

I don't get it

That was really good, overal, though variable. The animations were great and the music was fun, but I really don't get the connection here. Is the music suppose to fit the video? If not, why use that music? Was it about secondary game characters? Huh?

[Vengeance DVD]

Really not that good

Ok, let's start on the graphics. They're really not that good. Smooth, yes, but they're little more than one-frame static ships that look like they were drawn in paint moving across the screen. Not only is that not really that well-animated, it's also extremely boring to look at.

I was most agitated by the bad plot, though. Not only does it make little sense and does it develop at a boring pace, your story seems to indicate that you were shooting for realism. Well you got exactly the opposite, this was pure bullshit.

The start was an immediate annoyance. China has a bunch of ICBMs capable of striking US soil. Yes, they wouldn't reach New York, but why in God's name would they send a lone bomberplane to bomb one city when they could level a significant portion of the West Coast? And do you seriously think one bomber plane, no matter with what kind of fighter support, could penetrate into US skies during times of war? That isn't a 9/11 scenario, buddy, that's a foreign fighter-plane going up during times of war, they get shot down pretty quick

And why in God's name did they invade North Korea? North Korea has the 5th-strongest standing army in the world! If they're already fighting Taiwan and the US, do you really think they'd actually invade this powerful neighbour, pissing off an enormous nearby military power that would strike back immediately, not to mention that it has a nuclear arsenal damn close to their own soil. Hell no, China would strike a deal with North Korea for South Korea if anything.

Beijing under seige? What is up with that? Do you really think the US could muster enough land forces to actually land on Chinese soil and lay seige to Beijing? Hell no! All the countries in the world combined could probably not muster enough numbers to do that, let alone the US alone. Speaking of allies, where's Russia in this? China's long-time neighbour and opponent would surely have a say in this, especially as China has hundreds of nuclear weapons capable of hitting Russia, as opposed to the few it could hit the US with. Russia would either side with the US or China and this choice would be rather significant, Russia being one of the biggest militaries in the world, so why's it not mentioned? Same goes for India?

And just a smaller note; military tripled in size in China? Heh, another bonuscard for cluelesness, huh? If only you had spared yourself the trouble to do two seconds of fact-finding you would've find that in case of war China has 206 million men they can draw on to fight, while their standing army is 2.2 million men. That's right, pretty much a hundred-fold, not three-fold.

[Lemmings: Deus Ex Machina]

Oh great

Another Madness clone

Fantastic.

[Breaking Point Part II]

Excellent work!!

A great piece of work, man, the animations are really great! The story might need some work and you might want to pick some other music and sound effects, but those little negative points really don't drag this movie down. Excellent piece of work.

[X Chainsaw Chaos X]

Pretty damn good, but...

The intros are seriously way too long and boring, this is going to detract on your score bigtime, since a lot of people won't even bother to get past it. Make a skip-directly-to-movie button or scrape the whole credits, because we're not talking about a major motion picture here

Other than that, great work. Awesome animations

X-AnarChisT-X responds:

Yeah, i was thinking that too. Thanks for the input!

[the end of the fall]

Very good

Bul ochen khorosho, no mozhet buyt sleduyushchi na Angliskum? Ya duma schto Angliski ludi ne panemaete etot. Ya magu pomogat, yesli ti khoches.

Not bad at all. The fact that it is in Russian makes it incomprehensible to most people and it could use a translation.

Some people are not paying attention, though, the menu says "music: Anathema - J'ai fait une promesse". Not Jap, not Goth, not Hebrew/English; French, people, French.

Da ladna.
