Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

['Save the Sock']

A happy; creative short! I recognize (and like) the style, that jittery thickly out-lined critter kingdom where all is possible and even the background is a living breathing world of its own.

Feels like that eye reaching out, grabbing the sock, and morphing into a sock ball kinda went over the top a bit. The portal; mystery of the missing sock seemed to follow some kind of strange logic after all, as did the creatures, but the main character morphing however he likes (a magic eye? super powered socks?) was just strange, man! Would've liked a more 'natural' ending better, I think... either way it was a fun watch. Keep it going!

Butzbo responds:

I have to agree In a way with that last bit, I was halfway through the short, and I had to make a plan to "solve" the plot with the smallest amount of animation possible, which led to some overly-absurd circumstances. I'm still happy with the results and how it certainly doesn't take itself too seriously, but hopefully next time the story won't be as erratic (unless there's a proper reason, of course).
Thanks a lot for the review!

This was plenty creative! It's definately not a mission in the traditional sense, but it was innovatively abstract. Had to watch it a few times to let the message really seep in, and I'm still not sure I'm getting it, seems like... the wrong person is getting the message? The broken mirror, the transformation, the bottle... subtle symbols that build up a much bigger picture around what seems to be just a simple message, and though I see the effect, I wouldn't have linked it to 'abusive relationship' if you hadn't written it. A heartfelt; important mission indeed. Nice work!

[TooF Ness Monster]

Haha, a monstrous episode. Can't think of much to comment on here, somehow the green makes the Toof Ness Monster look like a dinasour, but wth, still entertaining!

MACception responds:

Haha, well, reptiles are related to dinosaurs... So... Glad ya liked it!

[Getting Drunk]

YOLOing to the fullest! At the start I was thinking the narration could use some more empathy, some more intensity, but at the end it's just perfect, hilarity ensuing from the slight monotony of dialog - and there are those random comments that break the pattern every once in a while too, good variation. Script's good fun; the animation backs it up, even if it's a topic I don't really relate to. Keep it going!

[WOT: Lemming Train!]

Hmm, animation was good, but as for plot or puns - I'm lost. Least the lemming train's described in the description, but the joke... I'm not getting it. Probably because I don't play the game. Would be cool with jokes that don't depend on a select audience to get across. Keep it going though!

[Ultimate showdown]

A pretty awesome fight! Nice how it fetches inspiration in techniques from both Naruto, One Piece, DBZ and... well probably plenty of series I don't recognize as well. It's long, smooth and intense. Nice work!

-cd-

[Urine trouble now]

Haha, so that's how it all ends... nice to know the fate of humanity rests upon competent shoulders! :P Sketchy style works well, and the green/orange style of color is pretty interesting too. Nice work!

-cd-

[The Crystal of Zanthar]

Really nice work on the scenery! Both the effects and visual details. The plot kicks in right away, our hero nears whatever place he's nearing, a nemesis appears, and the king fares his fears just before the hero appears and gets that sphere. Looking forward to the continuation!

CroMagg responds:

Thanks! I hope I get to finish it!

Cheers!

[Mission to Mars]

Hah, genius. My first thought was they'd be delivering pizza, considering the form of that box. Nice one though! ANimation's slick and colorful too; voicing clear and easy to hear. Keep it going!

-cd-

brynimation responds:

Thanks Cyber devil! You know, my mum actually mentioned that the box was to thin before I uploaded it. Thanks for the kind review!

["A Virtual League of Thei]

That is one loooong list of credits! Twas an entertaining game too, though surprisingly little happens. With that intense view of the spectators at the start I was expecting more, for them all to be involved somehow... and we don't even get to see the fight scenes. :/ Dialog is good, but apart from the final shot, there is little more than dialog! Keep it going.
