AfroUnderscoreStud's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Want to commit suicide?]

An alright idea, but a poor movie

It was an alright idea but it just didn't seem to work, it could have been better, maybe you should have had the people in various situations and then they should have killed themselves as the text followed by short death clip wasn't really entertaining and got a really boring after a while, also there should have been more sound effecst instead of it just being the occasional one, and I didn't like the scream it was just really annoying, you should have ahd some funnier suicides as well, as what was on offer here jsut wasn't that funny at all to be honest.

[Ryo the ninja KID ep 2]

Same old, same old

There wasn't much here I haven't seen a million times before and it just didn't keep me interested at all. I did like a few parts of it such as the part where Ryo threw all the chopsticks, but the rest of it was just way overdone stuff, even the girl where the guy picks her up looks into her eyes then she gets hit, it would have been nice to have seen something different rather than just more ninjas and Matrix style stuff as stuff like that gets submitted all the time and Newgrounds is full of it. I was expecting this one to continue on from where the first left off, which would have been nice, but it didn't it was just another story involving Ryo. Again nice sound quality, but voices or human sound effects would have improved it.

[Ryo the ninja KID]

Just yet another ninja movie

This was nothing I haven't seen already a million times, it was just like the rest of the thousands of ninja movies. Some story would have been nice, rather than it just being a pointless violence movie and there wasn't much in it to keep me entertained, sure you had a few interesting fight scene moments, but they weren't enough to make this a good movie, it just completely lacked in originality and story, hopefully I'll see some story in the second one. The sound in this was of a nice quality, maybe some voices or human sounds would have made it better though.

[Final Fantasy Day Care 5]

Good at times, but had it's letdowns

Again I like how you used the end of the last episode at the start instead of having a previously on... playing.

Straight off I liked this one as it went straight into a Final Fantasy style battle complete with the ATB system and the damage as numbers.

Another nice idea with the guy coming back and I liked the gumchewing joke, then another nice idea where the Black Mage, Fighter and the Blue Mage team up to take him on, I didn't like the name though, I mean, Gay Demon, come on. Another nice idea where non of their attacks hurt him. Then the fire reflects off of the demon and hits the chinese kid, who takes some damage in numbers, hmm a so-so joke. Then a nice funny joke about the ATB system.

Nice idea for the Blue Mage to leave the battle and come back although then it got a bit stupid with the kid screaming, it really wasn't neccesary and it was a bit over the top, it was even more annoying and unneccesary when you made the kid scream for a second time.

Nice idea for the Blue Mage to be reading the book therefore not paying attention while casting Big Guard. ALthough sorry to be a Final Fantasy geek here(oh look I have played Final Fantasy each one from I to X-2 with XI being the only one I haven't played) but Big Guard is cast on all party members, not just one of them.

Nice idea for his weakness to be the Chocobo song, I hated the way this remix sounded but still, I nice joke nonetheless. Then you went and used that terrible piss-joke where the chinese kid got pissed on, piss jokes aren't funny they never were and they never will be. Was nice to see a Master Tonberry though(Oh look more proof that I've played Final Fantasy for those doubters who are saying because I don't like this flash series I've obviously never played it).

Another nice idea for the Fighter to fuck it up, then once again you repeated that piss joke, it really wasn't funny at all, I ahted it the first time, repeating it really wasn't neccesary.

What happened after the demon pulled out the Proton Cannon was too obvious, the Black Mage and the Blue Mage ran away while the fighter was too stupid and stayed. A nice idea to have the Black Mage pull him away with his staff, an overdone joke, but good nonetheless.

When you used the did not, did too joke the first time where it went on for ages it was okay, but then you went back to it and it was just too long and it got really irritating, it really wasn't neccesary to have that joke going on for so long.

I didn't like how you had the Fighter being pulled along by his toe, by a piece of string which was connected to the motorbike, some jokes from earlier in the series are nice to see repeated but this wasn't one of them, it's one of those jokes that are only funny once and have to be within a certain context, which you didn't have here.

A nice, funny idea for the Black Mage to use Fire on the police cars and for you to show the damage as a number. It was also funny when the Black Mage said he was running low on MP.

I didn't like how the chase ended, them flying off the end of a road and into a net was a bit too stupid.

Then you ended it with them in prison which was nice and I liked the end where the Black Mage came up with another plan.

Overall it was an alright movie, it did have its funny moments and at times it was good, however there were also moments in this that were just too stupid and over the top and it really let it down. The acting was still terrible and needed to be improved dramatically. This was probably my favourite in the series joint with the first, as there wasn't as many terrible jokes in it as there were with 2, 3 and 4. I'd like to see you go on and make Final Fantasy Day Care 6, as despite not liking this series it did have its moments and you do have a funny sense of humour, it's just that you also make jokes that just really aren't funny, it would be nice if you made a consistently funny movie, I'd also like you to continue this as you just left it in a place where I'd be interested to see what happened next.

[Final Fantasy Day Care 4]

Unoriginal and completely stupid

First off once again I liked how you had a little thingy in the preloader that followed the cursor around, it seemed like a nice idea.

Straight off the scream was irritating and then the kid diving into the screaming one, then the car going across the screen and then the car crash, and then a kid punches another kid who goes flying across the room, then his face smashes into a bookcase, then the kid on the skateboard shot a kid with a shotgun none of it was funny at all and it had me tutting and shaking my head, it was jsut way too much over the top.

I liked it when the blue mage, went up to the baby and learnt an enemy skill, but when I saw what that skill was I hated it, come on man, shit jokes aren't funny they never were and they never will be.

Then I saw that you'd repeated the baby bashing its head against a bookcase which I still didn't find funny at all, it was just completely stupid.

Then finally you had something funny happen, it was nice when the Black Mage went up to the unconscious guy and he asked him if they were doing alright and the guy responded with "I'm too unconcious to respond" a simple yet funny idea.

The kid having the seizures was a bit over the top, but you made a funny joke to it, so it was alright.

Then came the unoriginal stuff.

First you completely ripped off the Decline of Video Gaming adverts I know you did that deliberately and you meant it to be funny, but it just wasn't, apart from the "squaresoft, I mean Enix" part, again a simple yet funny idea.

Then came the flashbacks to when they were kids, I didn't like the first one when the fighter shopped the kid in half, again it was just too over the top. I did like the second one though when the black mage performed fire, ice and bolt on the guy who was about to change his diaper, that part was pretty funny and was probably this episodes best moment.

Then you decided to steal an entire Family Guy sketch for this movie, I read your author's comments and yeah devil thoughts and angel thoughts were around well before Family Guy but you did more than that, you ripped off the whole thing, you even had the angel delayed in heaven, come on, don't make up excuses so you can get away with it, you took a whole sketch and put it in your movie, no two-ways about it.

I liked the idea of when the guy ran off he slipped on a brick and set of a chain of mouse-trap like events but the end result should have been something more than just a car blowing up, it should have been something that was much funnier and that would've made a much louder noise. It was nice though when the fighter and the black mage didn't notice anything had happened though, that was pretty funny and was even better when it was a bottle smashing that made them notice instead.

It was nice when the angel finally turned up at the end and it was nice how he managed to upset both the angel and devil. But the moogle eating the devil was once again something else that was way over the top.

Overall it was very poor, yes you did have a few nice jokes in it, but the majority of them were over the top stupid jokes that just weren't funny at all, especially the guy shitting his pants, that on just took the piss. It was nice to see an improvement again in the sound quality and finally in the acting, so well done for achieving that.

I think that this could have been so much better, clearly you know how to make funny jokes, as there have been some in all of the episodes so far, but you mix them in with stupid ones that aren't funny and it just lets the whole movie down. My favourite episode so far would have to be the first, that one was alright and I expected the rest to be better, but they've been worse, I really hope that episode 5 is good and I'm assuming it will be considering it's currently first in the portal at the time of writing, so I'm looking forward to it.

[Final Fantasy Day Care 3]

Apart from the end it was terrible

I'll start off with the new addition, the timer, yeah well done, nice touch, the font doesn't look that well with the movie though perhaps you should use a different one.

Again I like how you used the end of the last episode at the start instead of having a previously on... playing.

Also a nice idea to pretend the guy had a cold before and that’s why the sounds of a slightly better quality.

I didn't like the fighter hiding in the bin, it just seemed a bit too much and I hated the whole dress joke thing, it just wasn't funny at all. I didn't like the whole thing with the Chinese kid either you created him as a stereotypical Chinese person and the whole thing just seemed a bit racist, I did like it however when you used the number to show the damage he took, was a funny idea and it worked.

Then got a bit over the top, what with the whole cloud thing and the fighter rolling in the bin, then you used the dress joke again, which I still didn't find funny. It was a nice idea though to have them go to the wrong kid the first time, but it wasn't really funny and you should have done it in a funnier way. Then it all got stupid, first it was "ooh he told you" then the black mage set the fighter's foot on fire and there was a way over the top scream, then he stabbed his foot with a sword, and then later on he slid across the screen leaving a blood trail for no reason whatsoever, the whole thing was just way over the top and was just completely stupid and not funny at all.

I liked the joke with the cards of them in 8-bit form, that was pretty funny.

Then they broke in, in a once again over the top way that's been done too many times before, I did like the addition to it however with the fact that the mission impossible music was on a cassette tape and the black mage turned it off, while that's also an overdone thing it was still funny within the context of this movie.

I didn't like how there was a baby bashing it's head against a bookcase, that was another part of this movie that was way over the top and wasn't at all necessary. And why were there so many bookcases in a day care centre anyway? It just didn't make sense, you should have set it up so it looked more like a day care centre rather than a library, unless of course that's some upcoming joke.

From the next part on it got good.

It was nice to see the bottle tops and paperclips in the till, it's always nice when a flash author re-cycles an old joke from earlier in the series into their movie. I also liked the whole joke with the guy who owned the place and the Black Mage, where the Black Mage pretended he worked there and then the guy let him be in charge of the place while he went off even though he knew he didn't actually work for him. I didn't like it when you had the fighter give their names away and then said they were in code when they weren't as it's just a way overdone joke, you should have come up with something more original. I also didn't like it when the guy's voice completely changed, that bit was also just over the top.

I liked it how you still had the voices going at the end even when it was just a black screen, that was just a nice touch.

Overall, this movie was poor due to the terrible way over the top start which just wasn't funny at all, I did like the end of it but that wasn't that much of the movie, this movie just didn't have that many jokes in it that were actually funny. I'm disappointed with this series, this is one I've been looking forward to for a while now and I've finally gotten round to it and it just doesn't deliver, whets more of a shame is that Final Fantasy movies tend to be good, as do day care ones, this is a combination of the two so it should be great, but it isn't due to the lack of original jokes and the over the top sense of humour. It was nice to see that you'd improved the sound quality and the acting was perhaps a little bit better but still needed a lot of work.

[Final Fantasy Day Care 2]

Hmm not really funny for the most of it kinda poor

First off I liked how you continued this by including the final part from the first rather than having a previously on... to sit through, I saw that the sound still hadn't been sorted though and the quality and the acting were still both poor.

I didn't like the guy inside the shop, it was difficult to make out what he was saying, I know that that was the point, but I just didn't like the idea. When the black mage did the whole gangsta hansd thing, I just tutted, I didn't find it funny, it's just overdone and isn't really funny under most circumstances, such as this one.. I liked the joke with the password and the random guess being zebra and the guy thinking that they were cops that part was kinda funny.

In the back when the guy was going on about how legendary the sword was, he made it out to be a great item that was one of a kind, and it had a price tag on it for only 350 gil, that was funny. I didn't like the part where the sword cut the guy's arm off and pierced him through the head, i just found it completely uneccesary. I also didn't like the sue of the random sounds to make up the words, I just really didn't find it funny, perhaps it would have been funnier if you could have understood it but it was a really stupid name or something instead. I didn't like the joke about his wife either, that was also completely uneccesary.

I liked how you used the Final Fantasy VII style screen for purchasing the item, with the choice to either buy it, or not buy it with the hand, that was this episodes 3rd funny joke, as well as being nice to see. I didn't really like the whole joke with the paperclips and bottle tops as money, as its just overdone, I did like it however when the fighter went to put the paperclip in his pocket and then he realised he didn't have any.

It was also funny when the storekeeper was looking at the bottle tops through one of them jewel examiner things and you had the thief stealing a diamond from right in front of him, the fact that he even moved out of his way to let the guy get past so that he could steal it, was a nice funny touch.

I liked the part with the thunder staff as well and how the storekeeper made it sound not that good but it was priced at 2000 gil, which was more expensive then the fighters. I had to chuckle when you used the Salad Fingers reference, that was without a doubt this episodes best joke.

When they left the shop and made a few jokes I didn't like it as I just didn't find the jokes that were being made funny at all.

Overall it was a pretty poor movie, yeah there were some good parts to it, but there were far too many boring parts that just weren't funny at all and unfortunately those parts were the majority of it, also juat like with the last one you should have had a better sound quality for the voices and also better acting.

[Final Fantasy Day Care 1]

So-so

The intro was funny but just went on for too long and just got a bit boring to be honest. I like the fact that you had a play bar at the bottom, always a nice touch, perhaps you should have had it as an option at the start though, or had a button on it that hid it completely instead of just pushing it to three small circles on the side, as it still kinda got in the way.

The scene at the lamppost also went on for a bit too long and there wasn't exactly anything funny going on, and the scene just got annoying, also the voices throughout the whole thing ween't of a very good quality and the acting was pretty poor.

The entire Chocobo scene was funny and I like how you first thought they were going to be in a car but it tuned out to be a chocobo, I also liked the fact that you used that car door unlocking beep noise, despite the fact that it's an overdone joke, done in the right context for humor, like it was here, it's still kinda funny., It was also funny when the guy had to be dragged along by the chocobo by his toe on a piece of string, playing the chocobo music here further added to the enjoyment. I also liked the Tony Hawks joke, I found that pretty funny and the broken glass on the road thing again was also funny as was the "Is that my tooth over there? No it's my kidney" part.

I didn't like the piss-stain joke that came after though that just really let this movie down, piss jokes aren't funny, they never were and they never will be, there really is no humor in it.

It was an alright joke with the plans where the guy had drawn a childlike cartoon on both the wrong one and the right one, and the joke on the real one was pretty funny. I also like how th bblack mage decided to go ahead with the ridiculous plan.

Then came the weapon and item shop joke, which again was funny, I hated the "are we there yet? I'm thirsty. I gotta go to the bathroom part, especially when the guy repeated it again, I didn't find it funny the first time and repeating it just kinda pissed me off.

I liked the joke with the weapon shop looking like it was going to be really good and turning out to be just a crappy little caravan, a simple joke, but short and to the point and pretty funny. I thought the picture on the caravan with the guy pissing was a bit stupid though.

Overall this was a funny movie, but there were times when it was really let down, by having scenes that went on for longer than they should have and the use of a couple of pretty immature jokes that I didn't find funny, and also the sound quality of the voices and the voice acting which was abysmal throughout.

Correct these few mistakes and you've got a damn good movie.

[Cross the road]

An overdone joke

A guy crosses the road and gets run over, I've seen way too many movies about people and animals getting run over in the middle of the road, it wasn't anything orginal, it was pretty short as well, perhaps something else could ahve happened, maybe he could have got the keg and got run over on the way back or something.

[DBZ:Frieza's REBORN]

Is that it?

Some text, a drawing of some guy and a drawing of the earth. How could you have made this better erm a story? A point maybe?or Maybe even something happening? I really don't want to sit around looking at nothing, if you were going to make a movie you could have at least put something in it rather than just having text and a couple of pictures, that wasn't impressive at all, oh and you didn't even have sound.

This is the most pointless movie of all time.
