Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Greener Grass]

This was great, both animation and story, and it's always nice when there's no need for words to convey the scenario. I thought there'd be a bigger message involved though, that he thinks the grass is greener on the other side, but gets there and realizes he had all he really needed on the first island (her). Maybe the fruits would be inedible too... didn't quite play out like that though, and though I think it's great I feel it could've had an even larger impact. Also, the character motions, when they turn around for example, doesn't seem quite natural. Keep it going!

SteveRoberts responds:

I sort of interpreted it as that he finally gets what he wants, but it's bittersweet if he hasn't got anyone to share it with... If you know what I mean. I didn't want it to be too intense though and not have them reunited, as it was aimed more for a younger audience, and I wanted a happy ending. :)
And yup, I'll definitely be working on improving my animation! Was aiming for exaggerated movements, but I'll learn when to tone them down a lil bit when they're not necessary. Thanks for the review! :)

[Limits of Green Lantern]

Haha, Lego's was probably the last thing on my mind in that scenerio! With all that grunting I was thinking something else would happen, something extreme, something otherwordly, at first I thought he'd think up a planet, or galaxy, or maybe an entire universe just bustling with life and design, then I started thinking it'd be something totally random and useless, and then... well, Lego's was a surprise! Nice work. ANimation/narration's just perfect.

[T vs. G : DAY 1]

Haha, crazy soldiers. That poop thing was a bit much, but all that other randomness entertained heavily. It's kinda like a live action version of Tank Men, but... different. Nice mixture of digital effects and stopmotion!

[Deadly Space Action Mini]

lol, suspenseful space adventures with lethal laser tag! Another fun episode!

[The Wish Keeper]

Woah, incredibly mastery of the animational matter for this simple short! The idea's creative and wishful, fun and inspiring, cheerful and atmospheric, dreamy and visionary, and the animation's just faultless, flawless, perfect from D to the D and D. I wouldn't have considered it's not all 3D unless you mentioned it, feels somehow like a revelation that the animation from the side is actually confined to a dimension less, through it all flows together so seamlessly. Great motions, colors, textures, effects, really everything about. Nice work!

BEEBOG responds:

Thank you for your lovely comment and the very kind words, I'm very pleased you liked it! Really makes the 4 months of work worth it! :)

[Luigimail- Episode 2]

lol, well if they weren't enemies earlier they're enemies now! Nice one.

[Planet Nutria]

During that initial sequence I thought you were pointing out that the Apple was an Apple, lmao, took all the way till Pear before I realized it was the character name. There's a real overload of character names in this, and scenarios for battle, but none of them really play out. I think it could do well as both series or game, it's got fruity heroes and sinister villains, and light (she stands out a bit - the only one not related to food - makes me wonder if there are other similar entities that aren't necessarily edible items). It's a creative collection of character design, not too dramatic but still pretty exiting. Good music, smooth animation, overall it's a good pilot, but if there was a consistent plot mixed in it'd be way better! This kinda jumps from one scene or fight to the next, but as it isn't an actual episode that's totally understandable. Hope there'll be something made out of this!

Hypergon702 responds:

Thanks for the critique, I really appreciate it. Yeah, it isn't meant to be a pilot, it's more of a proof of concept. I decided to overload it with characters as I believed they were the main selling point of this idea. I have developed a cohesive plot already, but I figured keeping it a mystery would make the concept more intriguing. Next time, I'll definitely consider showing more depth to the story. And yes, there are other entities that are not edible, some that are very pivotal to the story.

[Yotam & Fantasia 12]

Woo, another episode! That's an interesting interview they've got going here, an intriguing topic for a show, though it ends kinda, without any final punchline or pun. Animation; voicing's both great. Looking forward to the next one!

[TooF amily Reunion]

lmao, well at least these episodes never grow old! The part with the grandpas must've been a favorite. Though kinda weird in a way how the main tooth's either surrounded by two grandma's and two grandpa's, never one of each, though they look like a couple... or like twins. Anyway, script was great. Not as fast-paced as last time, but just faultless, completely creative and comedic all the way. Nice work!

MACception responds:

Thanks man :) Always good to see your reviews! The fast paced episodes are usually an exception. They tend to be slower :P
