Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Vessel]

Until I read the description I didn't really follow... it was morbid and eerie, but I wondered if the different 'chapters' were related or separate, if they told tales from the same persons life, or different ones... if it was about a meeting or a parting, about the trauma caused by the dog, a bad dream, something else... the description explains a lot, yet after imagining so many other things I feel like a 'mysterious predator and lonely witch' feels a too fictional route. Like it could have had more depth. Thought I was onto something big, but in the end it was more based on the visuals than I expected...

Voice acting might have been good indeed, to push the story, though on the other hand I feel the silent way really builds the mood. The atmosphere here is pretty special. Brooding. Gloomy. Lonely. Voices might break that impression... and I did like the visuals! Nicely done overall, all that's really missing is the red thread, for better or not.

I'm really happy read this. The description I gave is more simplistic and literal than I'd like, but I thought I might give at least a few details just to get people going on the plot if needed. There were all sorts of themes of trauma, loneliness, and guilt I wanted to touch on, though I'm still learning as a storyteller. I really appreciate your feedback.

Haha, what an entertaining way of practicing Spanish this is! :D Dental hygiene huh. I got the strangulation jokes, but as for the others it's a good thing the visuals help out a bit. Well presented!

[Elvis & Dimmi]

Bailey's that little goblin I hope! :) So amazingly animated, with such crisp pixel graphics and creative, unexpected, comical but violent turns of events... yet how can you like a a protagonist duo that just aren't likable in any way? :/ Was hoping Bailey (if he is the goblin) would get the best of them in the end... but oh well, can't bash the masterful craft, just hope it takes a turn for the more sympathetic... and still manages to be unconventional while it's at it. :P Do realize the anti-hero hero thing is the big thing here, but yeah, it seems the hero thing is a thing for some reason... at least they didn't get all that loot!

[Emoji Magic Fight]

Pretty nice fight! The camera movement in particular is so smooth it feels like it's taken straight from a game in the beginning... the way it ends shows it is an animation though, I shouldn't have doubted. :) Creative background, characters, fight variation and all! Good stuff.

[Pmation: "All Ears"]

Hmm that ending, can't say I really like that ending! He gets bigger eyes, he looks up at the sky aaand that's it? It feels more like a loose end than a cliffhanger/ending-left-mysterious-for-effect, like the script writer ran out if ideas and... well, why not end it there. You were on something up until that point though, but it runs out into the sand a bit.

[The Wish - Awakening]

Starts with a promising premise! Wonder if this will be the big story, or if it's a sort of collective tale of all the different mythological beasts and creatures within the game? Interesting idea! I've barely scratched the surface of MAGIC so far, but do have a deck waiting for scratches... smooth animation, and pretty effectual narration too.

[Deadpool's Biggest Fan]

Finally one of these that actually ends well! :D Nicely done, and am I just imagining things or is this by far the longest one of these yet? Love the fourth wall thing, and the character who actually stays in character even when he gets out of it entirely... refreshingly different from the pervious and still a big batch of bad-ass! :D Nice work.

[REVENGE ON YOUTUBE #ADPOCALYPSE]

Hmm... the way it ends, didn't get to see him pointing the gun at all, almost makes it seem like some YT Corps might have stormed the apartment there and put an end to his rant entirely... didn't know such serious stuff was going on with YT lately btw! Sounds like bad news for YT but, maybe, a good chance for NG... nicely animated. Hope you get things sorted out too! Find new platforms; stuff. Keep the creativity strong!

[escape]

Hmm so many ways you could interpret this... like just a random bout of creativity, or like a new take on the world, or like a message that all will succumb to age eventually, that we're trying to hard, that we should go back to our roots and enjoy the world rather than exploit and raise scrapers that touch the sky yet... don't really reach far enough out of this world for us to escape, anyway. In the end it all goes full cycle. I enjoyed the animation, and music... gets you in a good mood! :)

Glad you got something from it!
