Cauterised's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[DEIMOS]

Like I said numerous times before

I'm surrounded by idiots. I'll give you a two for the animation. You lose two for not having the sense to have someone more proficient in english translate, you lose 4 for not making it an actual game, and you lose the last two for pissing me off. The message is trite and boring, the "gameplay" is nonexistent, and the overall concept just seems like a ripoff of other horror creations, which is exactly what your game claims to be protesting. I'd say improve it, but that would involve just getting a new idea altogether.

Impkid responds:

you know what? its for guys like you that we, spanish speakers, dont like to try to speak english in the first place. dont take this INTERACTIVE MOVIE personally men, i didn't mean to insult you.
YOU KNOW WHAT? WHY DONT YOU MAKE SOMETHING? EH? i actually find out that the guys who never done anything in flash before make the worst reviews. could it be a coincidence?

also, why dont you show me your skills speaking spanish!!??
el español es mucho mas dificil que el ingles desde un punto de vista tecnico.

[Clock Space]

THIS IS FUCKING TRAGIC

I'll never understand why talented artists and writers waste their time doing clock animations. The story was awesome, although I'd like to have seen a full story before this situation. Also, the nirvana reference was kind of hokey, but I guess it worked. I loved the ending, when he just says "yeah." and murders and monster.

This would be a 10/10 5/5 if you used real characters, but unfortunately it's more clock bullshit, so you get 7/10 and 0/5.

FUClock responds:

Here's my question: Why does it make a difference? What is a real character? Normal looking people? What if I had made up a character that acted like a person, but didn't look like one, like the comic character Bone. Would that have been equally bad? I don't know, man, I think it's a bit twisted.

[THE.LIFT.]

What? No, no way.

Sorry, but this is a sign saying "LOOK AT ME BE REALLY ARTSY"

Seriously, you're trying WAY TOO HARD. Focus on being entertaining and maybe writing a script, not just on being different.

beccahyman responds:

Can't deny I like things arty, but I wasn't going for pretentious, i hate stuff like that. It was definitely overthought (now that i think about it...), so my next one i'll try not to try so hard. God, the irony.

[Asaroki 11- Departure]

Cheese!

Good. Before I say anything else. I'll say it was good.

But christ was the writing cheesy. The story line itself was workable, but poorly executed. I suggest you get together with a writer to do your scripts in the future. I felt the characters were completely two dimensional. Ketta was always just the little mysterious emo pretty boy, and Rain was a hysterical wreck and a hopeless romantic. It was just another stereotypical emo love story. The little girl turning evil was a decent addition, but the evil overlord was so evil he was boring, he lacked any cleverness to his mannerisms.

You're a great artist and animator, but collaberate with a writer to get the full potential out of your movies. I actually have a ton of writing samples if you'd like to see any, and I'm always willing to work on joint efforts.

Cheers, and let me know.

ArtistGamerGal responds:

It was some stinky cheese at times T_T
Blahh I agree- I need a good writer!

[How To Stop a Nightmare]

Unimpressed

Another submission that was good but not great. Animation was choppy, the art style was inconsistent, and the musical changes were irritating. The slow, childlike track was appropriate, but the whole epic-fantasy-metal track seemed gaudy and unwarranted. Sound effects would have suited the scary parts much better. Character design seemed lazy, especially in the case of the nightmare. You're mixing two forms of archetype with that monster; The unknown entity and the huge snarling beast, it was trite. The scenes changed too quickly with absolutely no transition between the music. The graveyard scene seemed thrown in. Finally, the message at the end was just plain stupid.

I think you're talented, but I do hope to see better work from you in the future.

Monopolyguy03 responds:

if it seemed choppy it shouldn't, Try watching it in a lower quality and it would be smoother, everything would be more fluid. Thanks for the review

[Welcome The Apocalypse P1]

im with viruz0222

yeah, this was lame. I hated DBZ, and this is the same thing without a plot. This wasn't even a full chapter I don't think, just a really confusing trailer.

extra point for coheed.

liable-to-explode responds:

see below. coheed is awesome, I agree. wtf? this isn't a book.

[Many Hopes of Good]

UGH

LEARN TO MIX SOUND

Smidly responds:

Ni hao!

[If you seek...]

i guess its just not for me?

I'll agree with most other people. The graphics were all amazing, you can obviously draw. The animation itself was slightly choppy, but thats whatever. My only beef is that the "message" is mundane.

"If you seek you will find."? Seriously? If I seek my left sock I don't always find it. The message is vague and uninteresting. All this movie portrayed was I guy trying to find his girl, and then he finds her. Thats like saying "I WROTE A STORY ABOUT A DOG WHO WANTS TO POO ON A TREE AND THEN HE FINDS A TREE AND HE IS HAPPY THE END."

It's 3rd grade reading material, man. It's like if Disney tried to dumb down even further.

Otherwise, rad animation.

Zandoid responds:

Sounds like a good story. I'll be looking forward to your next flash submission!

As for your left sock. Look out for my next one about "persistence" ...you will find...eventually. :P

[ABunchofNESsedUpCrap 2]

am I alone in this opinion?

It was all really well made, good sprite animations and all that, but the jokes just weren't funny. I didn't chuckle, even once.

Gunstar-X responds:

Well, I can't make everyone laugh.
At least everyone else liked it. That's good enough for me.
