Ardhamon's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jackie]

More interesting than Jerry

This one is much better than Jerry as it isn't as repetitive as that movie was. It shows different situations that what Jerry did and it gave us plenty of things to know about this character. You seem to develop her alot throughout this film and you don't waste any time at all. It was all shown what she did though out the course of Jerry. Although we don't see much of her in the first movie, were shown what her personality is like and why she acts that way towards Jerry. I also liked how you played out Jerry's Dad here.

I also liked the sound effect used whenever Jackie gets high. Nice work. :)

[Jerry and The Closet]

Well Gee, you had me there.

I like this one a lot. You gave me plenty of suspense without the use of any music and just startled me. But you also managed to make it humorous at the same time.

I used to think that Jerry's dad was another Mickey the Dick before Mickey, but he has a lot more of a personality that how I felt Mickey did. He's more clueless, not smart at times and he has this feeling within him that whatever he's doing is the right way. That was all shown here. I think you did great with the character development a bit.

Another job well done, Max.

[Jerry]

Not bad

Okay, I'm not a huge fan of this, but you did a great job showing some drama to this. I personally think you have more of a stronger grasp on my attention when you work on more serious movies and animations. I mean, you give me the feeling that the character is feeling and such.

For this movie, it's slightly repetitive (hence why I gave you a 6). But it's a good way to show how disappointing and upsetting life can be to you. I think you did great showing all that with Jerry's experiences. I also liked how you went for a more action and less dialogue sort of film. But It could have been expanded a bit more by showing more of why Jerry's life is more depressing. Thankfully you show more of that in the later movies in the series.

Nice work, Max.

[-The Guardian-]

That was beautiful

That was beautifully written and well animated. I liked the premise as it reminded me a tiny bit of what Miyazaki would do, as well as the writers of shows like digimon and other shows and movies with the "chosen children" premise. The character designs were very appealing, especially the villain as he didn't have an over-the-top design to make him look edgy and he didn't act all silent. He was more mysterious and more outgoing with his plans and truly showed that he was a villain. The main character looks like how most standard teens look now a days and the guardian looked simple yet interesting at the same time.

The music was well-chosen and was pretty catchy, however I wish it were music that changed tone within the animation itself. Atleast to fit what the characters are experiencing.

The Animation wasn't that bad at all. In fact, it was well done but could use a little work. It seemed a bit stiff, like that one scene where the kid was running from the villain. But the fight scenes were pretty good and the falling and trickery scenes were pulled off well.

Overall, it was pretty good. Keep up the work and I wish you luck man.

['Arrow to the Knee']

I took a boot to the head

Man this was funny. Hearing GuitarMasterX7's voice acting and your animation has improved alot. You did a tremendous job in the writing and the art, too. Nice job overall.

[Santa Travel]

Santa's a sick fucker

Wow, the animation has improved from before. I like the art style here as it looks a lot better than some older stuff.

I also liked the music, it suited the twisted premise of this cartoon.

Ya know, Hulalaoo, you should work on the anatomy a bit and some aspects of the animation, and your style will be alot better, than now. Just suggesting.

[Parasitemas]

Fucking Christmas Worms, bro.

My god, this showed me that two animators in this collab have improved.

Felix and Cory did a tremendous job. As for James and Hulalaoo, I felt as if the animation could have been improved from their sides.

As for the premise, it's interesting and sorta sick. Then again, it's from you guys so it's bound to be sick. But it does have some positive quality like great music and good animators. Hope you guys do more collabs.

[An Arrow in the Knee]

Not my kind of humor

While the voice acting isn't bad, it's the humor that kills everything for me.

I mean, the fact that your basing this entire film on a joke that's been repeated constantly is kinda sad. Especially when the dialogue itself has nothing to do with it. I also find rambling jokes to be really annoying. I mean, when a character rambles on about something it's annoying. Unless it's someone like Johnny Utah, then I'll accept it.

Nothing wrong with the art, it's fine and I don't mind it, and the acting was decent. But it needs a better focus on its premise.

[Dragonzball P]

An epic parody of a an epic battle!!

Man, 3 different DBZ parodies already.

Gonzossm's parody had a point, while this was so freaking random.

Just ripped on the show's pacing while just dishing out some hilarious expressions and styles.

I also loved the voice acting, too. Very well done.

Now if you excuse me, I must defeat a sandwich. Mmmmmm.

[Sheriff McGyro]

Man your ideas just get better and better.

This felt a bit different from your older works. The animation and style were the same, but the ideas and story felt different. I felt as if I were watching a morale turned into humor. I don't mean to say you were approaching that, but it felt like a good indirect inspiration to get people to focus more yet it still had room for humor.

I'm sorry for the strange observation. lol

I did like the joke with the chick at the end and the voice acting was superb. Especially with the Sheriff. :)
