ChrisMckiernan's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Its Very Easy to Convince Anakin Skywalker]

"Dewwww itttt.........ok"

This was great.
Voice acting and animation was superb as always.

[Spoople Knows: Presentation Day]

I always look forward to these.
They always cheer me up.

FraserMcNiven responds:

Hello, Chris. Spoople here.

Sorry to hear you need cheering up, but if there is one thing I do know (and I know a lot, Chris) it's that I am very entertaining.

You are very kind leaving this comment.

Happy Presentation Day.

Okay then.

[TD-Manga-ka]

I feel like I just watched your entire life story...it was informative and I could relate.

[Samurai Brak]

I remember the brak show, when i was really young.
That and "space ghost, coast to coast"
Ah...the nostalgia.

The design of brak seems kind of wobbly and rough compared to what I remembered.
But its a good effort and I though the voice acting was spot on:)

artistunknown responds:

Yeah, I didn't really practice drawing Brak before jumping into this so it wasn't always (if ever) on model, though I think it turned out fine despite that. Also wasn't sure if I should animate Brak in the Samurai Jack style, the Brak Show style, or my own style, but ultimately I decided it'd work better if it was just completely different from Samurai Jack, to really sell the immersion breaking.

Shit now that I've typed that out it sounds kinda pretentious lol

Either way, Brak for President

[Mobus Cuck]

Short, sweet, perfect, and hilarious

[40 IN 30- A PAPA JOHNS TALE]

Excellent animation on his face.
The dialogue was so "out there", but it worked.

"It just works" -Todd Howard

[ITS TIME TO D-D-D-DUEL]

I liked this version of the show better than the original.
Those character designs were amazing:)

[PINK LOVEABLE DOG]

Nice:)

The lipsync animation on Courage was excellent and the animation in general was great all-around.

But what's with Courages eyes though....?
I'd prefer the normal ones from the tv show, not the two black dots that are too close apart on the bridge of his nose.

The hands and feet on Courage were kind of over the top, I think it would have been better if you stuck with the simple stick leg and arms from the actual show.

The things i do for love"...my favorite moment in this animation:)
The voice acting on that was spot on, and the the timing was perfect for the scene.

I liked the ending though, and the "stupid dog" was a nice touch:)

The voice acting was spot-on at some parts compared to the tv show, but the change in voice (primarily on courage) kind of disappointed me a little.

I always enjoy your videos, and look forward to them on newgrounds.
Keep it Up, they make me laugh and you got a sick sense of humor:)

[Seizure Machine "Boss Battle" [Official Video]]

A crazy song with some crazy animation.
I enjoyed this for what it was.

[The SpongeBob SquarePants Anime - Ending]

This video has nothing much except for what was in the previous videos...
video transitions every 3 or 5 seconds, gritty facial expressions, someone crying, someone giving a serious face or looking stoic, and some blood and dirt mixed in.

I know this is an ending sequence, and its suppose to look like the way that it does.
Its just that...this is nothing new.
your last two animations looked exactly alike.

The animation and drawings are definitely great, but they feel watered-down, because we've seen this style so many times before.

The song....
Did you make that yourself?
Otherwise you should give credit somewhere.
(unless you already did, its written in japanese, and I missed it.)

I don't know,
but a bunch of dramatic close ups and serious faces is kind of getting old and feeling over played.

Narmak responds:

That's fair, the main reason I made this was to emulate anime endings and how they are pretty basic (running and walking because of anime studios reusing practice walk cycles and such). Also, while making the anime short, I realized I didn't have an ending so I whipped this up in the meantime! Thanks for the feedback.
