MetalMario's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Life In A Nutshell]

The nickel represents procrastination.

FrostDrive responds:

It sure does! Along with sidetrack...ness.

[.CIRCLE.]

Very nice.

I love the art direction, the message, the sound and the story. Actually, it reminds me a lot of The Little Prince.

[The Northern Incident]

...I don't get it

Traditional horror build up, cool, then all of a sudden furries and... what just happened? I feel like I was trolled and I don't know how. If that was your intention, then 10/10.

[ZombieMurderExplosionDie]

Competent, but nothing new.

The humor seems good and the characters seem likable enough, but the novelty of zombies is running dry, and this just looks like Total Drama Island meets Left 4 Dead. If I see it on TV, I'll give it a chance to impress, as it does seem like something I could potentially like, but it doesn't look particularly memorable as it stands.

[Awesome Reach]

Strange, disturbing, over-the-top, but... old.

Ever since Awesome Center, your movies seem to quickly devolve into a frantic clusterfuck of yelling and exaggerated visuals. That may be part of the original appeal, but that wasn't ALL it was. I mean, this one is pretty much interchangable with any major game release; it doesn't say anything about nor parody anything about Halo Reach with the quick wit and comedic subversion of important game elements that I loved in Metal Gear Awesome and many of its shorter follow-ups. You want my advice? Stick to the games you know and love well. That'll give you some real material.

[Mario's Recital]

lol

Very funny, but your description ruined the surpirse.

[Legend of Miyamoto]

An excellent, creative flash.

Short, yes, but very cute and well executed. The only reason that I took off a point is that it doesn't really do him justice. Sure he made Mario, Zelda, and DK, but he could have gone through more of his games. IIRC, he created StarFox, F-Zero, Pikmin, among others.

And to Dimazor24, he did not create Metroid, so it wouldn't fit in here anyway.

Awkward-Squid responds:

I was planning to include Pikmin, Yoshi and F-zero, but did not have the time. From my research, I don't think Miyamoto created StarFox, but I could be wrong. I'm glad you're still able to enjoy it though, I hope to make a sequel paying proper homage one day.

[Sonic Shorts: Volume 2]

Ha! True hilarity!

Opening- The inclusion of the Rabbid dressed as a Chao is an auto Vote 5 from me! 10/10

Menu- Just awesome! Very well drawn and great transition between the characters. 10/10

Scene 1- Normally, I'm not very into the whole "Shipping" thing, especially with Sonic characters, even if this is a parody, but I found it to be very funny! 8/10

Scene 2- Lol! So true. DEVIANTART!!!!!! 7/10

Scene 3- The fluidity and abruptness is what makes it funny! 9/10

Scene 4- Personally, Silver is probably one of if not my favorite Sonic character. Nonetheless, his characterization here feels frighteningly fitting. And Sonic's reaction is just priceless. 10/10

Scene 5- Big is my least favorite character in the series, but since it's clear you were making fun of him, you get my favor. Also, what's that button in the bottom left corner that takes you to the next scene for? 7/10

Scene 6- A good punchline, but the coloring feels a bit weird and Knuckles voice feels odd here. 6/10

Scene 7- What's this song from? Oh, and thanks for the M. Bison cameo! 7/10

Scene 8- Probably my favorite scene. When Big looked under Amy's dress, I just couldn't stop laughing! 10/10

Scene 9- Yeah, I've wondered that too. Come to think of it, why is Sonic slower on foot in Sonic Riders? 8/10

Scene 10- I've seen the original scene on YouTube. A good parody of it. 7/10

Scene 11- Meh. 4/10

Scene 12- I can see it now: Sonic the Hedgehog: The Musical! Definitely a very original idea! 10/10

Scene 13- Funny art style, but I think Benny Hill would've been better suited than Tiny Tim. 6/10

Scene 14- Also quite hilarious! A great recreation of the Frogger setting no less! 10/10

Scene 15- Funny idea, but it's not really... Sonic-y enough to fit in with the rest of the collab. I mean, you could've put anyone in Sonic's place here and it would really have been the same thing. 5/10

Scene 16- I miss those guys. Bonus points for nostalgia. 9/10

Scene 17- Um... what? 4/10

Scene 18- Didn't see an LoZ reference coming! Seriously, these are hilarious, you should make some flash series following the antics of Big chasing Froggy everywhere! 10/10

Scene 19- A little drawn out, but really funny nonetheless. I lol'd at "The More The Merrier" and "Get a load of this!" 8/10

Scene 20- Ah, the classic Sonic Sez. I rofl'd when Sonic slapped Tails! And the GI Joe thing was funny too! 8/10

Credits- Pretty funny antics, that's all I can say. 7/10

Tails Doll- I fucking shat bricks. TO ALL YE WHO WISH TO FIND THIS SCENE, CEASE YOUR SEARCH AS YOUR MIND WILL BE WARPED FOR LIFE!!! %u221A-10/10 (FYI, that's an imaginary number. my mind is so warped from that I can't give you a score with an existant number.)

thewax70 responds:

Thanks for the review, we really appreciate it.

[Mastermind 3]

lol, another hilarious episode.

You never cease to amaze me, Swain. But, I ask, when is Blockhead coming back? I mean, it's starting to feel you are putting all your focus into Mastermind the last few months or so. Not that it's a bad thing, I'm just saying is all.

[Filtered Reality]

Hmm...

I'm no Freud, but I have an interest in psychology and analysis, so I'll give it a shot.

I can't really say much because I don't know much about you, but from what I imagine, the white figure that seems to represent you from a third person seems to symbolize that you don't know yourself enough. Your mind is distant from your body, so you don't think about yourself as much as the world around you.

I am aware that barren landscapes generally represent a feeling of emptiness, but I haven't heard of flat, colorless trees asscociated with that. Perhaps they're telling you that you are too shallow-minded- you don't see the depth of the world; what it really is.

The meaning nets asscociated with running do seem pretty clear to me though. Nets are generally used to catch something. I think you are trying to "run" from something you are afraid of being "caught" by. The pain in your sides seems to mean that you are desperate because you are trying to run from these nets by any means necessary; even through pain.

The barren building at the end of the road seems to represent shelter. You believe that there is a safe resting point away from whatever you are running from. However, the front wall missing probably means that you won't feel entirely safe in this shelter; still open to the dangers of the "net" trying to "catch" you.

The one thing that still puzzles me is the red, velvety sky. All I can say for sure is that red in color psychology is associated with strong emotions such as rage and passion. Perhaps you have heavy emotions in your subconscious that your dream wants you to realize you have.

Again, this just a mostly uneducated opinion. I wouldn't completely trust it, but if you see something in your own life your dream might be telling you about, you should probably do something about it. After all, dreams are unconscious messages.
