Egoraptor's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Animation Reel1]

Wait.

Why was there a clip of that gun gif in this movie? You didn't make that.

[Socklops]

Waaahhh.

I think it goes without saying that I didn't "get" this piece, but I was enthralled through the whole thing and there's something to be said for that. It takes some kind of skill to be completely random and still maintain some kind of sanity so as to captivate an audience for an extended period of time.

I really don't know what else to say other than you have quite an imagination. And that's awesome.

[Future]

Sweet.

This movie is pretty slick. This is something I've been trying to achieve for a while.. a feeling of that nighttime city twilight. So for me this video was really surreal.

The only thing that made me feel a little attached again was the overclichéd situations. The movie was riddled with "well, why didn't he just do that in the first place?" moments. It's something a lot of animes and video games have been doing lately and it really kills any sort of suspense when the character just busts out some attack he could've done at any moment, he just didn't feel like it, or something.

The style and effort put into this piece more than makes up for any plot-related maladies, though, but it sure would've been awesome for the whole kit and kaboodle to shine through and through.

[Awesome Video Games - Ep1]

lmao

This is pretty damn funny. I like the concept and it's executed pretty well.

[Shamoozal: Black Friday..]

Fucking hilarious.

trraAAAFFIIIICCCC!!!

[Voitman]

Sweet.

This was pretty sweet. One man can go a long way in animation these days.

Nice use of KoF music, too.

[MK vs. SF 2]

Geez.

That was pretty badass. The plot didn't make any sense, the whole Akuma and Ryu being friends thing, Sakura being Ryu's lover, and Akuma entering a tournament, but I'm assuming you took some liberties for the sake of making this movie own. Completely dominates.

[Animator vs. Animation]

Perfection.

Wow. This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

["Megaman" (1/3) -Short-]

Huargh.

I was a little disappointed by the lack of... knowledge of Mega Man in a movie that was made by someone who supposedly loves Mega Man so much. Mega Man looked like a cross between X and the regular Mega Man and it came out looking like one of those Hong Kong dollar store toy designs or something that oldskateboard company.... Hook Ups or something... made in order to market off of Mega Man's success. If that was intended, then... awesome I guess. But if the aim was to appeal to the Mega Man fanbase then I don't think you did a good job by making Mega Man... not look like Mega Man.

I suppose by the constant references to people who helped make the movie that this was done for shits and giggles, but I didn't giggle once through the movie. The jokes were a little stale and cliché and didn't have anything to do with Mega Man whatsoever, so I don't know why you opted to use them as characters since situationally these characters can't even do half the stuff you made them do. And it wasn't in a "oh that's ironically hilarious" way, it was just in a "oh, fart jokes" way. It wasn't like, say, Spark Man trying to open a door; he doesn't really open doors in the game, it's just funny because it RELATES to his character. Mega Man doesn't eat tacos or shit or anything close to that, so it didn't do anything for me really since it didn't apply to the characters at all.

The farting went on way too long especially since they were the same three fart clips over and over. Maybe if they were varied, kind of building up to a hilarious sounding fart, it would've been worth sitting through all of it, but essentially the novelty that he was farting the Nutcracker wore off really quickly, sorta like how that same joke wore off quickly in Family Guy.

Again, I don't see why you didn't just create your own world and your own characters because it probably would've been funnier and you probably would've felt less limited in the writing because you're developing the characters on your own. But to each his own, I guess?

Hello,

1-For the 1100th time, I used X's armor on Megaman, because I think Megaman looks way too wimpy. (just in case, check episode 2, where I corrected his name to X)

2-Hey, I'm not awesome artist, and I tried drawing megaman without tracing him off a google image! I emphazise on Tried! I've never had a good hold of drawing on a computed with nothing but a line tool and a pencil tool (don't like brush), ad rather than tracing, i try to make the models myself.

3-I pulled this movie out of my ass, what did you expect?! I didn't use a script, (never do), And I just did what nobody had done before.

With my own models, style, and crappy jokes. And hey, apparently I'm improving.

Check out part 2, Even if the models are slowly looking better, they're not going to look JUST like the ones published on the TV shows or games. And believe me I Love megaman, I've played the X series throught my whole childhood.

But, and here's where the logic kicks in, When did I say this was a megaman <Parody>? I never did, even if someone voted for it to be there on the parody section.

I just used the models on an enviroment that just didn't have a thing to do with the real story.

Honestly, I don't like my own movie, the animation/graphics/sound/humor sucked.

But hey, I made it 3 months after I started using flash, what did you expect?, it was something unscripted, made by someone as inmature as I.

I aprecciate you sharp critisism, and that's the only kind of critisism that helps.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me Egos.

Classic.

When I first saw this years ago, I fucking cried. This is one of the funniest movies ever.
