Emma's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Xiao Xiao No. 1]

Massive nostalgia

[2 Guys & a Jigsaw Puzzle]

Good, however ...

The animation was great, voice acting was amazing, and the theme was satisfactory. However, I did not appreciate the obvious metaphor so much seeing as it is a clear slam towards religion (Christianity specifically). The same effect could have been accomplished without anti-religious undertones - and it still would have made for a very comical and entertaining flash. I understand the wit aspect of it, but I don't see a purpose for slamming / making fun of a single religion other than offending or scapegoating its followers.

Perhaps if the shape of the piece was obviously incorrect, but not in the shape of a cross, star of david, crescent, or any other symbol of a widely followed religion, it would not seem as targeting - but, it would still maintain metaphoric in nature. I understand that not all (hardly any) NG users align themselves with a religion, but it seems rude to single-out, and parody just one of them.

I really liked the flash itself, but I found the metaphor mildly offensive. I understand that this review will probably get voted useless, but I hope that my insight will be helpful to you in the future.

Turn the Volume Down

The sound effects are way too loud and actually distort in most of the scenes. It really takes away from an otherwise good animation.

Ok,I'm going to organize the sounds

[The Obnoxious Orange]

That was pretty funny

I get that you're parodying Annoying Orange, and I definitely laughed at the end. But, I can't bring myself to give a parody more than an 8 since it's not really your idea.

Thanks for the review sistah.

[Cristo's Halloween]

I thought this was pretty funny

I mean, I didn't ROFL; but, I definitely found it amusing enough to watch it all the way through. The animation and voice action was good enough to earn a 7/10 by me!

"I'm going as a cheese" was hilarious.

Cristo responds:

thanks man!

[Jack's Halloween Treats]

Excellent!

This was a truly original halloween story! Animation was great, sound was great, music was fitting, and the acting was phenomenal!

(Plus, a half-decent storyline is an easy way to win me over.)

Great job!
