Reviews for One Ring to Rule ThemAll3

[dogmatron666]

I didn't want to blam this BUT

I think in the past your work has been somewhat hit and miss with me, but this is undoubtedly your worst movie since the Matrix Still Has You. Bad graphics, bad sound, and the animation was just tween after tween.

I usually wouldn't care about the presentation if the jokes were good, but the jokes were so bland, I didn't laugh once. On top of that, a ton of jokes were ripped off! I cringed when that monster said "it's glandular". Blatant Simpsons rip! Come up with your own material man.

Finally, this movie dragged on way too long aimlessly. Did your previous LOTR movies even need a followup? It just seems like you made an LOTR themed movie just to ensure you get a high score no matter how shitty your movie is... just like how you use the Matrix and Final Fantasy to get fanboys to fiven.

So in conclusion, I can see why more and more people are starting to say you are overrated. This shit sucks! Bad presentation, stolen jokes, and feeding off the popularity of LOTR = BLAM.

Meh.

I know writing this review does nothing, as you never see them, but here goes.

Graphics: They were okay, but it's all tweens and gradients. I know that this is "Your style" and "My opinion" but gradients are annoying. You know how to use a tween; good job. You've mastered the most basic element of flash. The hands, like always, are particularily horrible. Even when you are using tweens, body parts are disjointed, and ugly. Not to mention the bad spelling errors. Eye lazers = No. Never again. The only thing about your art is the eyes. They're done well, and that's about it. I realize Chris Boe animated this, but it's under your name, for the most part. Shouldn't have let him touch your series.

Sound: You ruined a ZZ Top song. My favorite ZZ Top song. Bad Joseph. Bad bad bad. The voices hurt my ears with microphone feedback. Just overall bad.

Interactivity: Not bad at all. This is something you're good at, and it was a pretty good preloader.

Style: Horrible. Horrible jokes, horrible references, just horrible. I laughed once, during the college scene.

Violence: Your lazered someone to death. With a horribly animated laser. An excruciating death indeed.

Humor: Stale. Ripped off jokes and bad references? No. Cracks at Gays? Not funny, not cool. Be careful where you're walking, Joseph.

Overall, I hate how Newgrounds is turning into Hollywood. This is a perfect example. You have this person animating this, that person voicing that, what happened to the good old days where the animator did everything? Productions this, collaborations that. It was fine, for awhile. Now it's out of control.

Mediocre movie.

Here is the best example I can think of to explain my score. You know how Eminem came out with another CD? Yeah, well, this flash reminds me of that.

I remember, back in the day, when Eminem used to put forth a quality effort into his work. Then, after the 2nd CD he just kinda gave up on trying hard. He knew he was famous, he knew he had enough of a following, so he just tossed out a couple more albums to milk whatever little respect he still had.

If he were a smart man, he would've kept putting out more than just abismal efforts. If he were a humble man, he would've quit rapping all together. But he didn't.

This is a perfect example of what we are seeing here.

First of all, we have the audio:
Personally, I'm surprised that LF has not yet listened to his recordings and said to himself, "Hmm...that sounds like shit. For the fact that I am the most well known author on NewGrounds, it's funny how I haven't really learned to go out and buy a mic worth more than 5 dollars."

Second, there's the story:
Wow, how original. "One Ring to Rule Them All" hey? Haven't heard that one yet. Oh my god, an Orc goes on a date with an Elf?!? This HAS to be good...right guys?

...right?

Then, there's the writing...if you want to call it that:
Oh wow, "The one laundry detergent, TO RULE THEM ALL (Mic Crackle)." Witty. The humor in this thing is about as predictable as it gets. You can see the "punchline" before the setup is even delivered. We all knew the Elf would want a salad. SHE'S A FUCKING DOUCHEBAG ELF for Gods sake! Of course she wants a fucking salad.

Ok, finally, we have the animation...which, by the way, is the highlight of this movie (which isn't really saying much, because it would still be the highlight even if it were drawn by a 2 year old retarded monkey):
Oh, and in case you didn't know, Legendary Frog doesn't even animate in this one. How much lazier can a person get? A guy by the name of Chris Boe did the animation for it. Apparently, LF thinks too highly of himself to do anything for his fans anymore.

I feel bad for the hangers-on who still love LF, even though he has completely abandoned them all. Hasn't anyone noticed how he never, ever writes responses to your reviews. You take the time to write them, the least he can do is say "thanks for the review" or "glad you liked it" or even "lick my balls, asswipe", because anything would be more sufficiant than nothing. He doesn't care about the fans anymore. People used to be inspired by his talent, and now he just spits in your faces and you just stand there and accept it. I mean, Tom And Wade and the guys from Newgrounds get it. Did anyone else notice how the score is about 4.25, yet it still isn't number one on the front page?

I've jumped off the Legendary Train.

When will everyone else?

LegendaryFrog responds:

How One Ring 3 came to be:
Chris: Hey Joey, what'cha doing
Joey: Nothng , just chatting with fans.
C: Cool.. hye, are you going to make a One Ring 3?
J: Well, I have a script, but I'm to busy with other things right now.
C: Thats to bad... hey maybe I can animate it for you?
J: Really?! Cool!

Normaly I wouldn't respond ot this but meh. All your points arn't good ones anyway.
Don't respond to reviews? To many of them.
Don't talk to fans? I chat with them all the time on AIM.
Not #1 on the front page? There's no ranking on the front page anyway, it's just a list.
Didn't animate it? So what? I was to busy, and I was animating things myself.
Not a orginal title? Thats because I already made 2 of them.
Overused the "RULE THEM ALL" joke? I said it twice, and one wasn't serious anyway.

And lastly, this review isn't going to change the way I do things at all.

[SwellProductions]

Hahahahaha.

NOT FUNNY >:(

My god, the jokes were sooo lame! You used to be good, but now you suck.

Good day sir!

[NewgroundSage]

It was Stupendous, imaculent, and very Hillarious.

I thought this movie was much more better than any of your prequals I ended up laughing myself to the ground it was that funny I hope you make more flash movies within hte future.
