Cyberdevil's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness - Preloaded]

It starts of creatively, with error, and then it jumps right into traditional Madness Mode. :) The slogan, or whatever you call it at the start of the movie, is a nice start. Nice how it skips back to the roots of the series with the 'Somewhere in', but the animation style is definately different from the regular Madness. Te angles are plentyful and the overall view much more closed up than the original. The blend of action and plot is a nice change too, and the speech bubbles with sybols instead of words makes it international as well. Nice slowmo effects, awesome blood effects, awesome transitions and angle changes, like viewing the room through a bullethole. Great animation!

[Portal : Still Alive]

A soft and harmonious song, along with a rather strange animation. The flat stick character (like the figure from a sign) is a change from the regular sticks or similar characters. It gets pretty entertaining towards the end, though it takes a while for it to start. Not sure if everything has a purpose, like those red bars? But it all fits in with the music. Nice work!

[ITLA Pirate Day Collab]

Haha, nice collection of pirate material! :D It's a bit short, but that doesn't keep it from being entertaining. The animation is smooth, graphics simple and the voice acting is in good pirate style too. Wish every scene was as detailed as the introduction though, but it was fun. :) Keep it up!

[The Portal Collab]

Awesome collaboration, so many different styles and concepts included, not to mention a list of great arts participating! I guess the idea of a portal is abstract enough to awake all kinds of creative ideas too, and this really showcases a lot of them. Great work!

[University of Arizona]

Nice. If this had been just that first skit, I wouldn't have understood much of this, but the ones that follow are actually understandable. The animation is a bit overly simple (maybe thin the lines a bit?), but it's good enough to convey the puns. I appreicate the navigation feature, too, a great way to move past the jokes you don't like/understand/etc. Nice work!

[A Newgrounds Commercial]

Haha, nice commercial! Don't really know what makes it funny, since there aren't really any puns or anything, just the flow of events I guess. The main characters rolling eyes are a bit weird at the beginning, how he seems to stare off into space more than he stares at the screen, but maybe that's supposed to hint at the callucinations? It's a nice commercial, and the classic track is a nice addition, with the 'Literature' block it might even be future-proof. :) Nice work!

[Skeff]

Skeff is.. Skeff. :D The story of stuff seems average and everyday at the beginning, which is precicely why it also seems entertaining. After a while, the average and everyday moves away and things actually start getting random and strange, which makes it all the more entertaining. The intermission with Skeff products is as entertaining as the animation itself, great filming. The animation style is a bit simple, but it's still livid enough to portray the events, it's smooth and squiggly too. I like how it all ends the way of regular shows back in the day, so much the explosion as the music. Nice work!

[Bon Appetit]

Entertaining! I must admit I wasn't expecting that much at the start, with the little girl just eating an ice cream, that couldn't be very interesting, could it? As soon as the friendly glutonous monster appears, though, things become interesting. The girls reaction is awesome, and the venture into his bowels was a creative trip, a sign pointing towards the ice cream, sitting upon a piedestal like the main jewel in a museum, haha. Nice work! Great plot, and great animation!

[Madness: Deus Ex Machina]

So damn awesome. The effects in this, combined with the regular madness style characters, is just amazing. All the lighting and glow, the bevel and special effects, and the simple blood effects in contrast to that. It's an awesome combination. When the characters move and get hit they look a bit like blobs the way they shake and expand, but otherwise it's all in style with the original, if not even more brutal the way the locations seem peaceful and serene yet that klown makes use of all regular items as weapons. I see a sonic pun too, hehe. The shaky cam works well too, enforces the action. Great animation!
