Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cr1TiKaL Animated: Classroom Aquatic]

So... random! And yet it seems there's supposed to be a red line here. I'm not sure I see it. Is there a message here? Satire on the educational system of today? The irrelevance of topics of study? A sketch fetched from real educational experiences? Parody with references which I do nae know? It was entertaining in an abstract sort of way, but not directly comical... if it was meant to be... and not very sensical... if it was supposed to.

Ah, and after I've written all this, I realize I missed that most critikal part of the intro, the one that mentions it's all based on a game! Haven't played the game so... the references don't tell me much. If I had I suppose the insight might be a prerequisite for entertainment, but as it stands I'm lost. The dialog intrigues, entertains a little, but overall I feel it all ties too closely to knowledge I do not have for the 'script' to stand on its own. I do assume it's a script, right? Not animated gameplay footage with narration?? In which case... it'd be weird, but make more sense. Anyhow, going to check out some of your other stuff with characters I know and see how that fares. This... was interesting! Real shame about that lost project btw. Keep it going!

Thanks for your condolences towards the lost project XD

And thanks for the tips! I still have a long way to go when it comes to my story and script skills

[Toons These Days: Ep 60]

Heh, I'm sure the critique's merited this time, never watched more than a few stray clips from the show, but I do love the franchise!! Nice rant; refreshing sketches amidst the bathtub speech too. Keep it going!

[FBF Madness]

Woah, those explosions! The smoke and fire, the dust and destruction... though the scenery is basic, it's the interaction with the scenery; how it emphasis all damage done that really sets this on a level of its own. The title feels a bit generic (I'm sure it's been used on much lesser works; hopefully wasn't the reason this mysteriously evaded Daily Award of the day), but it does sum everything up perfectly. I was positively surprised at the glimpse of 'reality' amidst it all, though at the same time that part left me a bit confused... she (?) loses an arm and then... comes back to life? Not sure if it's more of a metaphorical glimpse, or a journey to a next life or... whatever it may be, but either way the change there was awesome; overall it just blew my mind. Such a lengthy; masterful display of Madness, and in FBF no less!! Amazing work.

[Shape Bros: Episode 01]

What if...? Yupp, so far so good! Hope the if's are resumed in a future segment of this serial show! It's shaping up nicely, though lip sync feels a bit off sync some times (slow transitions). Keep it going!

[Do We Got Beef?]

lmao, much less brutal ending than I was expecting. XD Genius sketch; an entertaining ending skit to top it off!

JunkYardAnimations responds:

I appreciate it boss!! Much love from the Junkyard :D

[Shapes - Episode 17 - The Nerf Guns]

Now this is getting a biiiit too disturbing to be fun IMO. O_o Reminds me of that stabbing session in the first Scream movie, where the bad guys are trying to get away with murder by making it look like they get stabbed themselves, but take it one step too far... feels like: this is one step too far. I'm thinking with harm on a more superficial level (blunt objects that seriously injure but don't cause massive bloodshed and death), or without dialog; more 'intent to kill' it'd work better. Good buddies brutally killing each other maybe-not-intentionally-but-with-known-probability is just eh... not my cup of comedy.

Sorry you feel that way my friend!

[Happy Birthday VicariousE!]

This was a longer tribute than I expected, lotsa random, lotsa fun... and that crazy guitar solo. XD The simplest sprites have the biggest effect! Happy Birthday VicariousE! :D

[Social Anxiety]

Haha man, such a flawless rendition of the modern world! Every time I'm on the subjway this is the life I see. :/ Albeit without that awesomely eerie yellow glow radiating from all those screens... good to see you're still making creative stuff; life's getting better! Congrats on the job!

MisterHerbal responds:

Thanks cd! Always a pleasure to read your feedback. The eerie yellow glow signifies the hypnotic states when one zones out in his smartphone. It's only visible in my cartoons :P
