IonBlaster's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kanzeni Marin Nitsuite]

WOW!!! Pure genious!

Talk about overkill! This is anime as F***!!

Subbed diolauge, great use of backgrounds, greatly animated chibi-style characters, cute, humourous (to me, atleast), and pretty action packed.

This is a pretty solid anime cartoon you got here! In fact, it's just a solid flash, period!

I hope you can make more cartoons like this soon. Great work.

[A Breen Christmas]

A greatly animated HL2 christmas cartoon.

Wow. Those were some nicely animated characters you had. How did you do that? I wish I could make gifs of the charcters like that.

Even though it lacked diolauge, it did have a simple, yet good, plot. I liked how you animated Breen getting on the strider, the Gman in his breif appearance, Cubbage throwing a snowball at that Combine Elite, The Strider, the chicken, and Breen singing on a Combine Gunship.

you should do a non-holiday cartoon in the same style if you can get around to it. GJ.

[Zelda: Tales of Legend]

Nice one.

Reminds me of the Super Mario series Crow made, only not as dark and surreal.

The music was nicely done, but there were some looping problems. Nice fades, too. The other reviews were right: the diolauge is a bit slow. Maybe in your next cartoon of the series you can have a "next" button to speed things up a bit.

The graphics stayed very true to the series. They look just like the levels from the Link to the Past game itself. Either you're really skilled with sprites or you ripped them out of them game's rom itself and turned it into image form. Needless to say, it's beautifal. However, what surprised me was the blood and the stock images from RPG maker making it's way into the movie. Not like it's a bad thing, but I just didn't expect it. I was thinking you might were going to do a thing where the gaurds turn into those blue skull-cloud-things, like in the game when you kill someone, and perhaps leave a ruppee behind for comic releif.

I hope to see more episodes soon. Keep up the good work.

[Man Gets Broadband]

Short and disturbing...

Wow. The things people do when they get broadband... I'm going to lay off the internet for a qhile.

Nice cartoon, but it made me cringe in a few parts. Especially how he uses the restroom after so many days and feeds his dead bird.

[One Ring to Rule ThemAll3]

Great 3rd part of the sequal.

This was the most random thing I have seen as far as LF cartoons go. All I can comprehend from this cartoon is that Wayne the goblin goes on a date, Sauran meets his old college buddy, chaos ensues, and a twist ending ensues. Nicely animated potroast. I have the same potroast drawing technique.

I am too lost for words to really give this a good review, but my favorite scenes (aside from the scenes that are too good to give away without spoilers) are the twist ending and every scene when Wayne is watching that movie, and the surprise actors/explotations of actors in it.

GJ Blanchette and Boe. 'Hope to see more cartoon from ya' soon.

[The Matrix Still Has You]

The Matrix still has me

Ho-lee CRAP!!!

Legendary Frog and co have done it again!

The ultimate matrix parody makes an incredable comeback.

Overall, it was a bit of a change from the last one. Instead of going for the most famous scenes, they went for the other scenes that were still good but not as famous. Also, it's a change in animation style. Most of the artists had sort of an anime look to their creations.

Once again, I will rate all of these individually on a scale from 1 to 10.

Cycon - Agent Training 9/10
Although a bit slow paced in some areas, this was one of the funniest of the animations. You can also see Cycon walking in the background in a few scenes. My favorite part was where they said the matrix was ran on a 56k modem (plus the aol broadband advert) and the unfreezing the agent scene.

Serge - Subway 7/10
The animation was a bit jerky and the subtitles were also a bit too fast, but the action scenes were great AND there was a "Matrix ME" parody. Flawed, but good.

Legendary Frog - Twins 10/10
Can I expect less from one of Newground's top artist? NO! First off, they made fun of the guy's arm getting stuck in the door, the joke about the car they used (the Caddlical XLR, with a "tada" sound effect), and an extremely funny ad about car safety by Neo where he potrays Agent Smith like Hitler. The whole thing was great.

JoAnime - Mobil Ave. 11/10. Thats right. 11. ELEVEN!!
WOW!! Just... WOW!!! Smooth animation, extremely satrical potrayals of the characters, good jokes, very good use of sound effects/music, and a VERY good ending that I would like to not ruin. One of my favorite scenes was the one that poked fun at Trinity, The Trainman, AND the oracle at the same time, followed by the "You got motivation! Maybe now you can get your lazy butt outta this damn place >_>", followed by a dramatic running scene followed by the Spiderman 1 theme song... which begins slowing to a halt with the subtitle "pwned" above Neo and Neo collapsing while waving a white surrender flag. This scene was SUPERB!!!

Gerkinman - The Seige 7.5/10
In the actual Matrix Revolutions, this is what made the movie. In this parody, it makes fun of movies other than the matrix. From what I can see, it makes fun of, in order, Independence Day, Knox's Matrix Parody, Mech Warrior, Star Wars, South Park, Old Fasioned Anglo Saxon war movies, The Iraqi war protests, an 80s music video, the classic scenerio of the medics picking up an enemy body on the battlefeild instead of an ally, The Jonny 5 robot thing, sattalite tv, The reloading scene in the battle, and finally satrical potrayals of the characters Kid, Neo, Mifune, Morphues, Niobe, and Roland, with a "hammer time" sound effect at the end. The animation looks like something drawn in MS Paint set into motion. Not that it's a bad thing, but it is pretty cool/just plain wierd.

Congratulations guys! And Legendary frog, I hope you come out with another movie parody compilation soon (Maybe Lord of the Rings could be possible if you didn't already have a series, but you could still try.)

[(2004) LookWhosLookingNow]

Wow. Good use of science.

So the reason he got eyes was because he went back in time and the guy with the time hat put the eyes on him. Also, the reason the one guy got ran over by the truck is because the other guy stole it to prevent him from getting ran over.

Wow, talk about a good use of logic. I never seen a time-machine movie yet where nothing is changed in the future, yet gives the reason why the future came to be...

That's some quantum shit right there. Good job, Knox.

[Rise of the MK:Part 3]

You won't beleive how long I waited for this.

Subcon is about to get it's ass kicked.

Wow. So 1 and 2 was only a dream by Luigi, but it came true. This was a great episode. My favorite part was when Mario did that "Shake it like a saltshaker" dance to mess with mouser, and then he throws him into that pot with those key-gaurding mask thingies. Anybody who played Super Mario 2 knows those things will try to kick your ass when you pick up a key, and mouser was holding onto it, so he got skelotonized.

I could only imagine what twists and turns are coming up.

Randy Solem, because of Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom 1, 2, and now 3 and possibly a 4, I would like to say YOU ROCK!!!

[Star Wars Gangsta Rap: SE]

A MAJOR improvement

A while ago, I watched the original Star Wars Gangsta rap on Atom Films. What it lacked in graphics it made up in comedy and music. Then I watched the Redneck Gangsta rap, which was good in graphics and lyrics, but not as good as the Star Wars Gangsta rap. Now, there's this: The special edition. Improved graphics, redone scenes, a tad funnier with better interpetations.

GJ. When George Lucas remakes a Star Wars movie, it's not a good thing, but when you remake the Star Wars Gangsta rap, IT ROCKS!!!

DARK SIIIIIIDE!!!

[NG Deathmatch 2]

The asskicking of a lifetime!

Whoa! That was intense! I couldn't stop laughing. It was incredable how you integrated Harry and Beebo into this claymation. It was also good how you shown Foamy in this as the annoying, ranting squirrel that he is (and how Harry reacts to him). The ending was just too wierd, but I like wierd.

Also, the sound jumped and lagged behind in a few places, but that's not that big of a problem.

GJ. You rock.
