Phantosanucca's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Grizzly Bear]

Aweful

Truly aweful in all categories.

-Phantos

[Mario's Fall]

Alright.

A little better than I thought it would be. Somewhat interesting take on an age-old question, with a humurous little twist. The endings could have made a little more sense, but I'm not complaining.

Good work.

heheh. I guess I did make the endings a little weird.

[DBC Review Comments :P]

From now on, I will be Phantos: The Death Maker!

Ah, it's nice to be in the spotlight. And about those spelling errors, it should be noted that I'm an insomniac, so sometimes I don't think straight.

Not much in the visuals department, besides the interesting, uh, pictures below, and the small pics of each review, but I was delivered what you promised. Your comments for each of your favourite reviews. Some of them are quite humurous. Others are just... Alright.

Although one thing that bothered me was that there were no sound effects or music of any kind, I still enjoyed the wit in here.

1 suggestion: Don't use that pic of the fat ho again. Please. I think we've suffered enough already. Or at least put one of those censored boxes in there.

As for originality, this has been done before, but it's a trend I enjoy. It gives author's a chance to express their opinions on some of the more half-assed reviews out there(including mine featured in this flash. Yeah I admit it).

Well, I don't know what else to say but... Thanks for the new nickname. :)

[Foamy's Rant : Foamy The Squirrel]

Didn't hold any punches did ya there IllWill?

Man, some of the things Foamy says in this one are actually quite... horrific. Although it was still loaded with humour, so I must commend you for that.

And for all of you claiming that IllWill is a little girl without any drawing or writing talent, and made this in 10 minutes, to them I say, LET'S SEE YOU DO BETTER. I am positive you can't, because you are obviously too pathetic to have any reasonable understanding for someone's hard work.

All you care about are your precious blam points. This guy works day and night to animate and write this, just for you, and you all badmouth it just because it's not a completely different cartoon each time. Just because Foamy is a squirrell in this one, doesn't mean the next one will suck if he's not a radioactive elephant in the next.

This takes hard work. God forbid he let us take a glance at his hard work without being flamed in the most abscent-minded form possible. You "people" make me sick.

[Rise of the MK: Part 1]

This is the work of a true genius

Randy, once again you've proven that you are the KING of Sprite Flash Movies. I haven't seen sprite animations, or choreography this well done since Megaman The Final Battle 6. The backgrounds just ooze with clever sprite placements, and ingenius design. Although there was HEAVY HEAVY slowdown in the scene where all the mushroom people are about to raid Bowser's castle, that is only a small gripe in an otherwise great flash.

The music fits each scene perfectly, and adds to the overall mood which it tries to convey. The cinematic scope may feel a tad cheesy at times, like in the funeral scene, but I think in the end it works.

And even though this is a bit of a more serious flash, you still had time to add 2 farts jokes. Kudos to you on that.

One last thing I like about this flash(besides the amazing amount of effort in the little things like the leaves falling and the differently faced clouds depending on the mood of the scene), is the fact that this isn't one of those stupid, overused Luigi vs. Mario pieces of crap. The collection is filled with things about how Luigi is jealous of Mario, and, like in Mario Brothers Part 1, it's nice to see a flash once in a while where Luigi is actually proud enough of his brother to avenge his death to such a big scale.

This is truly something extroardinary. Definitely Top 5 material. Thank you for proving that not every flash movie is 3k crap involving stick dbz matrix jackass stunts.

Encore! Encore!

[Nuts Wars: Episode 2]

0_o

I don't know about any of you, but that scared the CRAP outta me!

-Phantos

[Ultima Jackass #1]

Was that really neccessary?

The answer? No. Like we haven't seen this thousands of times before. A somewhat clever, but spoiled joke isn't gonna save this. Idiots who vote 5 on any flash as long as it has the word "Jackass" in the title, WILL.

-Phantos

[Sonic's Boner Quest 2]

Nothing too new or interesting...

The problem is that you need to have more pacing when it comes to the next joke here or there. You should try and make things a bit more dramatic, so that when oddball hilarity occurs, the joke will have a bigger affect.

And let's face it, that went by a little too fast. Although some of the graphical work was done well, it's nothing mindblowing. And I don't think anyone wants to hear a story about Sonic getting a boner... WTF?

Good luck on your future projects...

[The Portal]

Phanto's Bicentennial Review!!

Alrighty, I'm very honoured to allow "The Portal" to be put under my critical eye, for my 200th Official Review(official meaning not counting reviews for blammed movies). Let me start off with commenting on the terrific 3-D AND 2-D graphics. Some of the best Newgrounds has ever seen. Although early on, and in the scene with Darnell and Strawberry clock, there was a LOT of lag. The framerate slowed down to a crawl.

However, it takes little away from the overall style, which perfectly merges the stylings of not only 3 well known NG character series, but also nearly perfectly recreates famous Matrix scenes in Newgrounds form.

The sounds are alright, and the music is of a wise choice(except the credits music) although even with subtitles, it is sometimes hard to hear what Darnellius or Strawberry are saying. That, however does not detract from the humour, be it implied, ironic, or just plain built for laugh-out-loud humour.

I didnt' really care about the Easter Eggs. I just watched the movie, so forgive me for giving 0 on the interactivity part.

All in all, it's one of the best flash movies Newgrounds has. And with a name as simple but as monumental as "The Portal", it's sure to become a Newgrounds Legend as the series continues.

3 fantastic flash movies in one day. I don't think NG has EVER been this good to me. Well that does it for Review 200. A TON of effort was put into this flash, and the next episodes can't seem to come soon enough.

Excelsior!

[Sonic's Glitch Part 3]

There's only one word for this: ROFLMAO

Absolutely hilarious! I hated the last one, but honestly this one has become one of my faves. The humour in this flash is in such a large quantity you could feed it to Rosie O' Donell for 2 days. Granted that doesn't seem like much, but keep in mind how many farm animals die each day just to make her breakfast, let alone the meal she discovered between breakfast and brunch.

......Anyway, my point is, this is a Newgrounds classic for sure. Clever use of music, sprites, animations, and it even pokes at how flash movies are made. Sensational!
