Matija27's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pumpkin Planet]

Brilliant...

...and surprisingly scary. It may look like a cute halloween cartoon because of the characters, but the atmosphere is scary. Don't know really why, but it makes me uncomfortable (in a good way).
For a halloween cartoon it is pretty...hm...I wouldn't say colorful, but it looked joyful. And that is a good thing.
The idea is not really original, but the way how it is done is excellent. I enjoyed it and I can safely say that it is one of the better cartoons on Newgrounds. Now that you have won a tablet I can't wait to see your next cartoon (before next halloween, I hope). Keep up the good work.

manuelberja responds:

yeah! thanks dude. with a tablet. i can do it more faster! and more detail,i guess. :)

[Turtle vs. Rabbit]

Interesting idea...

Interesting idea, looks good, but I can't stop thinking that it would get a higher score if it was submitted 5 years ago. It has that "newgrounds retro" vibe, you know, when every cartoon was done mostly with tweens. Naruto music ruins the feel of the cartoon (but again, if it was submitted 5 years ago, that would probably be a plus) and voices are pretty bad. Still it can be seen that a lot of effort has been put into this cartoon.

I would like too see a more grittier and darker version of this cartoon, with fluid animation, epic music, better voices, or maybe no voices at all, more action and so on.

nemosapien responds:

Thanks, I don't really care what score this gets. Any helpful criticism is better despite submitting this 5 years later than it should. I agree with you about the audio. Makes me cringe a little when I hear the Turtle talk.

[Ransom!]

Well worth of front page

Oh wow. This was very original and very funny. I honestly didn't know what to expect. It was a pleasant surprise. And this is your first time using flash? Wow. You surprised me on so many levels. Very, very good. I can't wait to see your next cartoon. You really have a great sense of humor. Well worth of front page :)

[Awesome Reach]

Hilarious

It was hilarious but inferior to others in awesome series. Still it made me go laugh while constantly saying: "WTF?"
Good job, and I'm glad to see a new awesome episode :)

[Madness: Ascend]

Great experience

This cartoon is everything what Madness really is. It has great fighting scenes, it is nicely drawn and well animated, most of madness characters were used, music is perfect, and the ending is definitely the best part.

It is one of those cartoons that made me think what happened before the events of this cartoon. What is Trickys benefit from the Jesuses and Sheriffs plan? Who the hell is the guy with the fish? Where did the Hank get that car?

When a cartoon makes me to ask myself those questions, and to develop some sort of a prequel in my hand, I can only give it a maximum score. It makes me feel that there is more to it than it meets the eye.

If not the best, then definitely this is one of the best cartoons for Madness Day 2010.

[Yoshi Galaxy Episode 1]

Disappointment

It took you 4 months to finish this? Why so long? Anyway, too short and unoriginal. It could have been much more than what it is. Hope you make it interesting in episode 2. Music and background are good. I hate to say this, but my score is 4/10 and 3/5. Sorry.

ToastyYoshi responds:

The shortage is because of drawing and sprite editing

[Doraleous and Associates]

Yes, Doraleous on Newgrounds :D

I've been watching this series on escapist site and I got to say that every episode always makes me laugh. Always.
I'm glad to see it on Newgrounds.
But, what about the first episode?

Keep up the good work and a good sense of humor :)

[Bees in love]

Good, but not great

Pretty good. I love your animation style but I think you can do better than that. Still, it is good, better than most of the Newgrounds flashes. The ending was, unfortunately, predictable. The music fits perfectly, although I would prefer something more than just a simple loop.

All in all, it is a good cartoon that could and should have been better.

6/10 4/5

Seankiely responds:

thanks for the review i love to get helpful comments :) and i'll take that all on board

[Pico & Friends]

Good

Animatio was great. Story was......meh, but still not bad. Cameos from other NG characters was a nice touch.

Not very funny but the quality animation makes up for it.

The fact that it doesn't have voices doesn't ruin the cartoon, because, honestly, I can't imagine a perfect voice for Pico.

Overall, great Pico cartoon and I hope this will become a series.

P.S. How about making Ghostbusters animation. With your animation style and Ghostbusters cast of characters, I think it would be great.

10/10 4/5

[Darnell Has a Crush]

Suprisingly good

You nailed two things that I like in cartoons: humor and quality animation.
I can't describe how good the the animation is in this cartoon. I really don't know why, but I like it a lot.

You have very good skills for making cartoons.

Hope I will see more cartoons from you :D
