TharosTheDragon's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gamer - Shaping Staff]

Not even daily 5th? That's a shame.

[Green Acres]

Why would he have a welcome sign if people aren't welcome?

[Crash Does A Thing]

Great ending. Everyone's expecting him to just lose his last life at the end after finally smashing the box, so that would be too obvious. Good job playing with the audience's expectations.

I have very little experience with Crash Bandicoot so I don't understand, but it sounded like at the end he was being hit with all the boxes he missed in the level.

Also it was pretty clear that he was able to jump far enough to get to the box, so it was annoying that he wasn't just trying to make the jump again. It would've made more sense if you established that he just couldn't jump far enough.

[The Open Bundle]

You said Bullet Hell. The game is called Bullet Heaven.

[Douche of Steel]

That was the director, Zack Snyder, at the end. He directed Man of Steel and also Watchmen, which he's wearing a shirt from. He's a total punk and a complete Hollywood hack. The joke is that he was known to say that he made directing decisions for Watchmen because they "looked cool." Whatever quality that can be gleaned from his movies (like 300) is surely in spite of him rather than because of him. But he's shown that he can make money when he's put in charge of big-budget blockbusters, so we're sure to see more from him, unfortunately.

[Journey!]

The funniest part was the beginning with the grandmother. As soon as the main Tron gag starts, it gets boring. Well, maybe not boring since there is a lot of content crammed into a small space, so it's not like it wastes your time or anything. But the writing seems amateurish and uninspired. It seems like you just started animating without any real solid ideas to base an animation around. I'm not sure what the point of any of this was.

[Sparkle Pom-Pom Squad]

I've never heard of a high school that let its cheerleaders wear midriff-baring outfits.

[Bondbreak Bay]

Pretty decent animation. I predicted that they would end up having to put their two halves together. I know you were on a tight schedule but it could have used sound effects and more voices. I don't understand how the father was selfish or why his ghost was trying to stop them or why he started cowering away at the end, so it could have been a lot clearer.

Brewster responds:

I thought about sound effects and voices but i decided it wouldve sounded too cluttered when paired with the song. You answered your first question with your second question. He didn't want them to get his treasure but he needed his half of the key to be activated, which is what brings him back as a ghost. That's why when the girl breaks the keys apart, the dad disappears. He lured them there so that he could come back and get rid of them. Yes, this could have been a lot more clear, and I planned on making it clear, but like you said it was a tight schedule and I had to cut some stuff out. Thanks for the review.

[Dragons Are Assholes]

B-but... what about me?
