JoeWicked's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Snakes on a Plane]

This group is WAY overrated at this point

So Ultimate Showdown cartoon has been practically HOGGING a front page spot for nearly half frekkin' a year (which pretty much meant that chances are -1 for a decent cartoon to get on NG front page by default) - and it's only down now because the same guys who made US made another cartoon with the same graphics. Now, this cartoon is mediocre at best - it's seriously ameture. About 1/3 the effort that was put in UltimateS was put into this cartoon - With that said, this group could pretty much submit any piece of shit onto newgrounds and it'll get front page regardless - it apparently has 'special privalages' and a permanent seat on newgrounds.

I'm seriously disappointed in whoever BIASLY chooses the front page material. There are other cartoons that have been submited that deserve to have the opportunities that this attention hog deprives them of.

altffour responds:

It's not like we control the frontpage. Not to mention the fact we specifically said in the comments that it was a small sideproject we did for fun.

[Who Killed Ken Kutaragi]

A dull attempt at comedy...

I couldn't bring myself to finish this. I got pretty far before I realized that this cartoon was just not going to entertain me. The characters were too generic to stick out to me at all. It was just "Okay, there's the sarcastic one and the stupid one. That chemistry hasn't been explored yet" - That combination is more generic than (dare I say it) anime in the online comic community, and I ouldn't mind it too much if the jokes weren't generally weightless and..well...just really lame.

"I know what you're thinking! I Valentine special on New Years?! That's Crazy! But you know what else is crazy?!? A HOLLOWEEN SPECIAL!! HARHARHARHAR"

Oh yeah. That REALLY got me falling on the floor laughing after that one. Honestly, the humor in this cartoon was weak...

AceRaynor responds:

You didn’t laugh at something that wasn't a joke in the first place? Oh, the horror! The three second intro was designed to test the new way of lip synching, to provide an explanation why the events that follow it do so, and to hint at the ending. You lose. Hit the road, Joe.

However, I do agree with you about combination of sarcastic and stupid people. They are overused because they are true to life. Perhaps, sometime I'll figure out how to bypass the originality problem of their interaction.
