MuteAstro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[RATBASTERDZ: JAY'S DAY]

The "Oh, WAIT, he's getting Burger Barn?!" read is so real. I think the dialog and acting lends such a sense of grounding to an otherwise bonkers execution. The sense of tone is perfect and the mixed media is really well incorporated. This rules.

[DREAMING]

Vibes for days. You're such a master of this aesthetic.

[This macaroni ad is different.]

The scan lines are awesomely subtle and the cheese regurgitation at the end is brilliant. Great work!

[Bridge Kids: Chair Jordans]

Big 90s MTV vibes. This is so damn good. Character designs are next level funny.

[Mean Girls Collab | Short Film | Dial-Up Studios]

Absolutely immaculate flow and stellar creative choices.

[Hockey Night in Canada]

Ah, yes, the classic hockey fight move of spitting your teeth at the other players. Saw Messier pull that one in 1995.

[ARTIST!]

Vibe.

[Marcus the Teenager's Never-Ending Quest for Popularity]

This is super ambitious for Newgrounds and I think it mostly comes together in the end! I love the school setting and slice of life vibe. You've created a fully fleshed out world and really filled it out with some fun characters. Not only that, but the amount of animation variety is really impressive. I only have two critiques.

1. The writing, while providing some hilarious gags, felt a bit repetitive. The intro sequence provides everything we need to know and I still kind of felt like we were being reminded of the main motivating factor of why Marcus is trying to stay popular here and there. I feel like editing some of the fat out early on would help a lot.
2. The voice acting is all great, but the mic quality varies a bunch. I'd just work on making sure the consistency is a bit more solid.

Hillasir responds:

Aw thanks! We hear your feedback. We've worked out the bugs with our mic problems and it'll be razor sharp next time we promise 😎

[ROBOT EXPRESS]

Your choreography and sense of scope and scale is there. Super cinematic and engaging for a simple story, but the physics could be a lot better. A lot of general floatiness and lack of impact. Definitely keep working at your craft, you've got most of the equation down, it's just those fine details that need a bit more work.
