Horsenwelles's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Derpasaurus Rex]

well boy that honestly wasn't funny... i'm not even sure i can comment with "it was well made", but if it was, i think i'd have to rate it even less for trying so hard to go in the wrong direction.

what i can say is that at its core, you have a character that inhabits the word "derp". one that nobody but little kids and my little pony fans use with any bit of sincerity. not to mention a character that is simply mistakenly doing things isn't exactly interesting or new in any way. the entire use of an escape convict was pretty empty and irrelevant, though i guess it was used as a "plot device" to clumsily introduce the clumsy character.

as for what it did ok: the animation was decent. there was a written joke. the delivery was decent, and not very contrived.

thats about it. you really need to work on writing a more interesting character in a more interesting situation. i mean, i think the animation is perfectly suited for a silly webshow (since its not aiming for avant garde or any sort of visual masterpiece status), and you could definitely work out some interesting jokes. i just do not find anything interesting about a character that is literally a re-skin of "derpy hooves" or whatever the horse is called.

in fact the more i write, the more its blatantly obvious to me that the one major problem is simply the character decision. why did you make it about this character at all? its simply an empty character with nothing going for him but the size and the clumsy nature, and even that isn't very interesting since we have seen this kind of character before.

Awww I'm sorry you feel that way bud.

Honestly though you only get a small taste of Rex. You can't really conclude you know everything about him just yet. We have over 12 episodes written already :)

Also you keep bringing up ponies but I have no idea what you're talking about.

another fun short from good ol elfy. great job man, and i love how simple and worked up the simple joke gets. yeah its a TAD overdone as far as jokes go, but i love the focus on the character and his obvious fufillment of himself. great work my friend

[BeyBlade Was F'n Dumb]

you used the same joke delivery i used back in 2009. thats such a pathetic statement i cant believe i just wrote it but it happenned i fucking saw it in front of my eyes. the delivery is dated, the jokes are dated, the content is barren, the irrelevance of this is just unmatched, and the subtlety took a vacation.

you need to work on making something that isn't 100% predictable, out of date, and not graspable to 90% of people.

again, better luck next time

i was pleasantly surprized. i seriously despise jontron, but i loved the written story as jarring as it was. great work with this thing you've made.

Thanks

[Dark Knight Rises [TS]]

didn't laugh. i'm not one for relevant obnoxiousness though. at least it was attempted accurately and was animated fine
