Vampeen's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Man Spaghetti]

This is a really clever and darlky funny idea which you executed perfectly; I love your animation style and it fits the theme perfectly! Even though it was a little short, the timing is excellent and I love how ridiculous you made the characters look. I look forward to more of your animations :)

[The Magic Pancakes]

Aside from the ending, this was not really funny. It just seems like another attempt at being random for the sake of being random, and this usually fails. The fact that there were no voices for any of the characters is a big detraction despite that you have made the text easy to read and made it so the reader can go at their own pace. Overall it was a nice try, but this would have been better if there was some more thought put into it.

[Bowser Phone Prank]

AS much as I like Mario parodies, I'm not quite sure I get the joke here. Maybe it's because I've never played "Mario party 3"? But I digress; while the idea for the joke is well thought out, the execution is very poor. The timing is just way too fast and the movie is too short. Considering this joke, you could have done a lot more with this such as making some dialogue between Yoshi and Bowser; depending on what you could have done with said dialogue it could have been hilarious. Overall, the idea for the joke is well thought out, but you really could have done much more with this premise.

[Nyan Caxx]

This is a really funny video; how did you record Caxx "nyanning"? Anyhow, the "Hell Raiser" references were spot on and were pretty ridiculous, which made this particular cartoon pretty funny.

[Saved]

Your animation is top-notch and the character designs are incredible along with the unsettling environment, which is visually spectacular. However, the visual appeal cannot make up for a message that is not only shallow, but has been done to death. I don't mind that you are questioning religion and its ethics, but the way you have presented this project seems to come off as another pretentious PSA about the wrongs of Christianity (yes, this was specifically towards this religion considering the preist, the wafer, and the many bibles the characters were holding). What especially irked me about this is the way you have presented science and religion as mortal enemies, with science being to voice of reason and religion being the voice of blind faith. While this is definitely true to a degree, this is yet another stereotype that has not only been done to death, it has been proven mostly wrong; even the pope believes in "The big bang" and science has been known to acknowledge an afterlife. Overall, great job with your choice of music and artistically creative visual presentation, but if you're going to say something about religion, try to say something new.
