HydraliskElite's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness desultory 2]

Someone set up us the bomb.

It was okay, I mean- a lot of the parts could have been improved, one majority is of the protagonist's walking, as it's super slow, then faster, but- I know how hard animating feet can be. The violence was there, but there was nothing excessive, since there was no blood flying out of the wounds when the enemies got shot (I saw a few drops of some of the enemies). The music was nice, and the ending was really unexpected, with the guy trying to run away, but then falls (or takes cover from the bomb blast). The fan 'Mag-Agent' wasn't expected, and how he easily died was also unexpected.

I noticed some of the backgrounds to be from Inundation (which is okay), but it kind of brings down the originality score down a little. I read SteeLRaTnl's review, but then I saw his work, so I almost bursted out laughing (comparing to his madness submissions). My favorite part was during the Grenade Launcher part, where the 133t Agent came with a sword, and then just got blown away, xD. Good job smotez!

Cheers dude. This I feel now seems rather half hearted and not done to my complete best ability, But still better than any of my animations on Ng so far.
As for the Backgrounds I forgot to give them a make over, and plus back then I sucked at drawing Bg's.
The ending was really quite bad, i was going to voice Jeg myself but since time was running out i just slammed the "wtf" thing in.
Thanks for the great review.

[The Invisible Man]

I love the series.

They go way back, yet it's fun to watch these over and over again. It's pretty cool how you made music videos in flash of Scatman John (with Scatmonkey). Did you like anime when you made this, 'cause a lot of the drawings look anime related, while in your newer works, there's hardly even anime related stuff in there. Who would have though a jewish monkey (hex, the fez on the top of his hat, unless it's there for show) would of lip-synced that good?

The art in it, though, is really simple and drawn in a very beginner way, were you still new to flash when you made this (I'm thinking yes a bit)? If so, you've really improved over the years, now when either I compare your newer flash works to your older stuff, you were destined to be with flash! I mean, I can't believe Blueshift was made in flash (the backgrounds look as if they were drawn in real life, even though it was in flash). Keep up the great work on your future flash productions, Diseased Productions rocks my socks.

[With My Mind's Madness]

I'll take your thoughts away!

MindChamber, you my friend, are a really good Flash artist, and animator. I love it when people take a simple animation with simple sprites, then make it to a full-throttle-video.

What was pretty different about it was, the music. It fit so well with the animation, and the animation was greatly beated with the audio too. The animation got me to loving that song, and made me get a copy of it.

What was pretty weird about it was when Jesus was spilling out all that blood near the end, where he crashed the city right into the auditor. But- the metal halo with spikes idea was great, the part where he was screaming in pain was sweet.

Great addition to the Madness Day 2008 series. Like Krinkels said, "MindChamber made the best fuckin' Madness movie ever."
