Gianni's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Moritat]

One of my favorite songs I've heard Sinatra sing. I was just thinking the other day how it'd be great for an animation just like this one to go with Mack the Knife (minus Grim Fandango, didn't think of that, which was an awesome touch). Thanks!

[Addicktion]

Poetry spotted for the symbolism of consumerism shafting you...?

Ah who am I kidding. I love you so much. Never stop creating things.

Markface responds:

You're very sweet.

[Skate R Die]

It's a unique kind of horrifying that you can do 7+ content that's actually good. Think about it. YOU. Kids are doomed.

I'm still using "THANKS." as an inside joke with myself.

Speedo responds:

i think "thanks" is the funniest word ever for some reason i cannot stop saying it quickly and monotone (like paul demonstrated in the vid) please send help before i thanks out of control

[J Jonah Jameson Is Mean]

Awesome of course. I consistently forget what an awesome VA Generations1st actually is what with all the other cool stuff he's always up to. Really dig this.

[Romeo + Juliet (2014)]

Its brilliance is in its shortness. Solid little joke, thank you for not stretching it out.

[Guardian from strangers]

RIGHTEOUS. Touches on my favorite topic, which is of course moral ambiguity. The animation delightfully abuses the common habit of assuming details without knowing the full story. I'll be remembering this piece for a while. Also, you had Chongo and codeblackhayate, so the possibility of absolute and unredeemable fuck-uppery was approximately 0.0%.

[The Eyes of a Stranger]

HEEEADDDPHOOOAAAAAMMMMZZZ WHOOOOOOO!

You got creative as fuck with the theme. Really grabbed the ball and ran three miles out of the stadium with it. Book or series quality backstory, here. The narration was wordy but every word was functionally useful. The narration over spoken lines was far from disastrous so I wouldn't worry, and it's a concept that works pretty well but takes more time (which you didn't have) to get right. Visually the animation is a treat.

Use of SirUndead: 10/10
Use of theme: 10/10
Use of headphoamz: 20/10

Official NATA Total: 40/10 + a smiley face sticker and a pack of gum.

[the red snow]

Perfect use of the theme to demonstrate my favorite topic of all, moral ambiguity. Tastefully done, quite a looker of an animation too, really nice. Didn't drag on at all. Use of SirUndead gets 10/10, but your excellence in all of the other categories is what REALLY guarantees your victory in this competition.

dylan responds:

I'm gonna have to put you in my next toon to get double points!

[The Artist and the Canvas]

That ending was really well done. Slotting in the credits like that worked awesome. I'm also impressed with how good the animation actually looks. You did great as always, and I mean that you talented bastard.

[LOTOE Trailer]

Looks great. The fact that it started as a parody and worked its way into actual content shows, and I mean that in a pretty good way. I obviously love more dark and serious content, but a good action flick usually has a fair share of lighthearted moments and some sarcastic comedy in it. Marvel is an obvious but pretty good example. Some of their films lately especially. Best of luck with the project, I think it looks awesome and I really hope you go through with it.

YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE! IT WAS SAID THAT YOU WOULD DESTROY THE PARODIES, NOT JOIN THEM! BRING BALANCE TO THE PORTAL, NOT LEAVE IT IN DARKNESS!

Kel-chan responds:

Yeah I think that parody stuff has to break a bit. Too bad it would not be with an original series but baby steps are in order i guess.
