Jasmerrin's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mohinder]

Eh.

First of all, let me say that I am a huge fan of the Swain in general, and the Blockhead series is one of my favorite webtoons of all time. Secondly, Heroes is my favorite T.V. show. I'm even a big fan of the X-Men comic books.

I really thought this movie was funny, but a little in bad taste. While I don't think that the purpose of this movie was to offend, I really thought that the exaggerated and unfavorable portrayal of the Indian people, while amusing, went a bit too far. For that reason I simply couldn't enjoy this satire to its full potential.

I did, on the other hand, love the X-Men joke, and the joke about the song at the end that took the internet by storm, and that I won't even attempt to spell. The animation was great, and the voice acting was pretty good, all things considered. The Swain is still one of my favorite animators and an inspiration for my own films. It was a funny movie... It just left me with a bad taste in my mouth, is all.

The-Swain responds:

I noticed you're from New York, which I suppose explains your exposure to anti-Indian racism? Rest assured, this wasn't an attack on Indians. I mentioned somewhere else that this is an attack on how Heroes is filled with Indian stereotypes, and yet Suresh is somehow immune to every single one of them. It makes me suspect that the writers were doing this deliberately and carefully. So, that's my reason for that part of the comedy element.

Besides, I'm The Swain. I don't make offensive cartoons. :) Shock value is not my bag.

Fairly funny...

I've seen an episode of the show, plus it is generic anime, so I appreciate the humor. The greatest comedy comes from truths.

The only n00bish movie I gave a 5 to...

Usually I stay away from movies that have their titles in different caps and have misspellings in their descriptions and all that, but I decided to try this out because it was Star Wars. It was insanely funny. The fast pace and randomness just made it the movie of the day for me, regardless of what the rest of the portal thinks.
