OptimisticOctopus's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Super Mario 3D Land in 2D]

OH MY GOD I CAN SEE FOREVER

...Is probably what Mario was thinking. Decent joke, and some impressive 3D animation. Other than that, nothing quite as mindblowing as his personal experience.

[Pussy Game]

Huh

Tneconni, I had that same feeling. Maybe it's just my warped mind, but I think it's because I know too much. Definitely something sinister just below the surface. Also, I know the big eyes are supposed to be cute, but I just find them disturbing. Something about lacking pupils. Anyway, the art is good, the song is catchy and the plot is interesting and well set up. I can't complain too much.

[I Like Trains]

I like this flash

It's really good. The song sounds great, it's funny, and I love how the simple (yet still well-drawn) black and white drawings go with the vibrant color in the sky and elsewhere. I guess I don't really get the joke, because I haven't seen any asdfmovies, but I don't think that hindered my enjoyment at all.

[Team Fortress School]

Lotta potential

This isn't bad. I've definitely seen worse flashes. Obviously everyone's commented on the art, so I won't go there. My suggestion would be either to hire some voice actors or just use in game sounds. I mean, usually one guy doing 90% of the voices doesn't work unless you're a HIGHLY talented voice actor with lots of experience, or you're the creators of South Park.

And for the record, the writing is pretty good. Some of the visual jokes were funny (like the sudden shot of the demoman passed out on his desk), but some characters I think were a little OOC. I mean, when in doubt just remember that the vast majority of them are insane. The Soldier especially. He just seemed too functional.

Also, in regards to what someone said below, when in doubt: Just because something is MEANT to be annoying, doesn't mean it's any less pleasant to watch.

Now THIS is the review that I've been looking for. It pretty much sums up everything perfectly, and even what I think of it, as well. I notice what I kinda did wrong, so hopefully I can use all of this for my next movie I'm making so I don't bore all of you.

[Villainy - The Tape]

Awesome

I have some sort of machine that has DVD and VHS capability. I know my family had one for a while before they ever tried DVDs. Love how much of a badass Chronomonator is.

[The Life of Gregory Brown]

Good

Despite that it felt like it was trying a bit too hard to be disturbing (shock value on the Internet means nothing anymore), there was some really nice creepy imagery, and some great and...interesting animation. The last part whispered into the listener's ear was a really nice touch. Kudos.

[Nyan Caxx]

Damn

I haven't seen such clean, unique, EYE-BLEEDINGLY GOOD LOOKING art in a long time. Plus it's really damn funny. The rainbow barf was classic. Keep it up.

[Madness Heist]

Wow

This was really impressive. I wasn't crazy about the art, but the voice acting, style, music and everything else MORE than made up for it. A great flash film.

[Sonic Generations Plot]

This was great

This was clearly a one person job, and for the effort that most likely went into doing that, I'll give you a ten. The writing was really good, (actually the way the dialogue flowed was kinda like a 90's cartoon). Near perfect comedic timing and great jokes, but it's easy to tell that you're doing all the voices yourself. The animation isn't half bad.
