Reviews for Scrotum 4

[bomb]

This is a portal God!

Let's face it. This Portal submition is definately one of the greatest Flash cartoons ever. Its soundtrack is killer, the animation is amazing, the fight scenes are cool, and Brian Beaton gave us a stellar animation here. The only critism I dare mention is that when we see Scrotum from the side, we lose Scrotum's blue eyes. Aside from that, this totally kicks ass, and yet, it isn't the best one by far. Scrotum 5 annihaltes #4. But this still deserves a place in the top 5. All hail Scrote!

Scrotum Grows Up

Does anybody remember Scrotum 1? (Of course you do!)

Sure it was funny (If you think violence is funny) but it was little more than a dog getting killed. From there on, the plot thickened, until finally, Brian Beaton made it more of a plotted movie.

This is hands-down, his best peice of work. (Excluding Scrotum 5) Tons of cool effects are used in creating this movie, and the animation is amazingly crisp and sharp! There is no talking whatsoever in this movie, something pretty rare to find this high in the portal... but it's justifiable.

The plot is rather simple, however. Scrotum gets revenge, on everyone who has killed him in the past. And ends up shooting their brains out.. (well, not really..)

This is a great movie, but it would make much more sense, if you were to view Scrotum 1,2, and 3, before this one. Otherwise, view it now! Damnit!!!

The movie all Portal entries wish to be.

The Scrotum series is by far the most stylistic and visually stunning of all of the entries in the Portal. Brian Beaton deserves massive credit for his work. And he needs to finish Scrotum 5- I really want to see how that one turns out.

Style, Action, Music!

What can be said about Scrotum the puppy that hasn't been said already? A long time top five movie that has knocked STREET LIFE out of the number one spot on a few occasions, this movie has been cheered by NG fans as the quintessential Portal movie, and that is a plausible statement.

Of course, I've always felt that the music made this one. The opening song, heard over the quotation from Revelations, instantly grabs our viewers attention, letting us know we're in for a ride. The rest of the music carries the weight of the action and really adds to the excitement of seeing this shaggy pup give his persecutors their just desserts. Bravo, Brian Beaton. Bravo.

THE Portal Flick

Who hasn't heard of this owner-killing, gang-slaughter, pimp-decapitating, named-after-a-nutsack dog of ours? Brian Beaton combines explosive action with that hilarious looking dog (I hear that "classic Scrotum" had a head shaped like a testicle) and forms an instant Portal fan favourite. This one is classic, and it definitely deserves its seat in the top 5. If you haven't seen Part 5 at slitfinger.com, well dammit man, go see it!
