Reviews for Explode Harder

[Coop]

Oh, the parodies

Ah, to see that you called it "Explosion Force 5 2: Explode Harder" means that you've taken that part from Die Hard, possibly added some detail from bits and pieces such as Grand Theft Auto, not to mention Explosion force, which doesn't even make sense :P

The idea that you've made a cast list and have thrown in some great bits and pieces, to make it sound and look like a proper film trailer shows that you're still thinking and the writing skills are well exhibited here.

The use of the audio from Newgrounds itself is a testament to the fact that you can find the pieces of work that you are looking for and the fact that they are available, if you're willing to look hard enough. I love that it also adds a new layer of depth to the piece.

"____ Harder" is my favorite way to subtitle a film. It's just so ridiculous sounding, and it's such an easy cliche. I also threw in that "in through the eye, out through the gun" kind of shot from Ultraviolet, which is a hilariously bad movie.

I like using the same identifiable cast, as you know. I'm even using Greg the Llama in my new SRM cartoon about Guitar Hero type games. Thanks for the props on writing.

I like using audio from Newgrounds, since it's royalty free and noncommercial. It also means I don't end up using music that absolutely everybody else uses. Glad you liked the toon, and know my work well enough to remember it's origins!

Nice, but as a parody it does not own enough excessive expressions to bold out the false, plus its abit too slow.
But i'll admit, it gave me a giggle.

Battosai810 responds:

I didn't think it was too slow, but that's just me. Anyway, happy you liked it :)

Hmmmm....

Though decent in animation...I'm just not understanding where the 'funny' is coming from.

Sure it is making fun of those cheesy action thrillers. But it wasn't enough parodying.

It all seemed too...predictable.

Battosai810 responds:

Yeah, I'll agree it's a bit predictable. It's lampooning a predictable genre, after all. Thanks for watching!

Been there done that

I'll give you a 7 for the skills you have in flash but every second of that reminded me of Dangeresque from hoestarrunner. The jokes are stale and there's nothing about the cop drama genre of films that hasn't already been parodied. These movies are getting as blah and predictable as the movies they lampoon.

Battosai810 responds:

I was going more for the 80s action movie than the cop movie, but I get where you're coming from. Dangeresque does it better, I'll agree. Thanks for watching.
