Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Expendables 7]

Some point in time they have to realize they're just getting to old for this! Though I do hope that'll take at least a sequel or two. Nicely animated, with plenty of stereotypical character traits and violence mixed in... though the latter usually effecting the wrong range of characters lmao. How did Li turn into a bag of bones though, he's barely older than Statham is? And Statham's not that old...

[The Politician.]

The vicious cycle of politics! Maybe slightly exagerated background violence, but it gets the point across! Animation was great, cartoony and fluid, the cries of violence like white noise in the background (also suitable since the character didn't seem to hear them) and that patch of blood what seems to be the beginning and end and new beginning of this vicious worldly cycle. Nice work!

Ex-Poser responds:

Thanks for the constructive feedback cd. You did figure out the theme revolving around the cycle of politics. That blood splat at the end however, revolves around the concept of past rulers and the "death" of their career. Also, when I have the politician fade away, it means that people forget him in the pool of other members of politics (the blood).

[Freddy's Lament]

Well, so far all those theories don't seem to reveal themselves... hoping that'll be in the continuation! Looks good, and all those twisted angles seem to make it all the eerier, with suitable sound/music to enforce it... though I do wonder if that eeriness will hold between episodes. Anyway, looking forward to that next part!

[Please Hold]

lmao, the eternal queues of consumer calling, something anyone should be able to relate to! :D Nicely acted and animated too, and a pretty unique character style. Keep it going!

[TidBits 2 Photosynthesis]

A nice tidbit of educational fun!

[Midori's Let It Snow]

Short, simple and efficient, and even with the snowflakes but flakes of paper it really gets the holiday spirit across. The subtle motions of all individual flakes is probably the most impressive part, the character doesn't do much, but does appear with appreciation and presence, an element of life in what would probably otherwise be a somewhat somber paper landscape. Nice work!

Heidi-Eillott responds:

Thank you glad you enjoyed it.

[Sreaching the stars]

Beautiful. Feels like just the dance would've been enough, but all the effects, the elements; incredibly fluency of each motion add so much to the animation! The beginning was perfect, but towards the end I started noticing how she raises just the same leg all the time, wheras the beginning moved between the two, just one point of detail that started to grow pretty repetitive during the last minute or so when there really is a lot of leg-raising going on. But overall, it was amagical, masterful motion of animation!
