VelvetDarkRocks's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sheik's a woman?]

Whoa... What the. I think this was more surprising than anything.

Lol Link, that's a uh... a little wrong. Heh heh, cute little comic I'd imagine, nice voice acting and decent graphics, not too bad at all. There seems to be a Zelda craze going on...

[XIN Session 14]

Okay, this is... interesting. I admit, this is a very good movie compared to its predecessors. Voice acting, at last. That's all you really needed. The graphics went from scrappy to cool back and forth, but it's often better to do too much detail than too little. Keep that in mind for those quick scenes.

This alters the plot a little, but it's way better than the ending you left it at last time. I wonder why Legend wasn't with Ms Jix though, but nevertheless everything seems to be working out now, riiiiiiiight before everything crashes again. Don't make it so deep you forget what you're talking about though, that's what happened in the past few sessions, but otherwise it's got a really cool plot that makes you think for a while, as well (of course) as being action packed with kick-ass animation.

Just one other point. The music to start with really, really didn't match the tone of the conversation. You need to change that asap, because it kind of wrecks the mood.

Xin is pronounced "Shin". Ahh it's a Chinese name, fair enough then. What do you know, you *didn't* steal my alias afterall.

[The Matrix Downloaded]

Lol, I actually found this quite hilarious. A lot of the people who are reviewing this are comparing it to movies like The Matrix Has You, but I think you've got some good ideas, but the majority of it isn't really laugh out loud funny. The voices were really good, especially the outake with Tom Quinn. He's got a cool voice by the way. Very cool voice. They were probably the greatest part of the movie sadly. All you need is to pack a lot more humour into it so viewers don't get bored and end up declaring it's crap like so many of those before me, but I think you did well. Graphics weren't too terrible for front page material, nice going, and don't give up!

[The Real Legend 2]

Holy crap sir, this is brilliant! It made my day, it really did. A wonderful way to finish off the evening, it kept me laughing for so long after.

I have to say, I was incredibly impressed by the difference in graphics from the original. They were superb, truly. All their expressions were absolutely perfect, and in all honesty, I've never seen such talent. Particularly the dream, I'm amazed by the quality. The only thing that could possibly be as cool as that was Moonlight, but the fact it was *Zelda-based* easily, *easily* gave you a 10 out of 10 for the whole movie. Perfect, seriously.

You also had an excellent choice of music, and impeccable voices! Saria's voice did seem a little masculine, but Navi's was so perfect! Your illustrations of her were incredibly impressive, I think she's a beautiful fairy! Your sound effects were also absolutely perfect. Gosh everything about this movie is perfect isn't it?

The humour, the quality of the jokes... Gold. Absolute 24-carot gold. I could not stop laughing for the most of it, just burst out loud, fantastic quality. Ohhhhhh boy, any single component of this movie would have brought the final score to a 10. I'm seriously considering this to be the greatest flash movie ever made. You have my eternal praise and thanks, do let me know if there's anything I could do for you, and take your time with the next one.

Despite the incredibly large file size, it was easily worth every single byte. I'd download 50 Megabytes for this. Anyways, I'm very impressed, and ignore critics without senses of humour or who are otherwise retarded, they're not worth the time. Brilliant sir, brilliant. Animations was just that little bit slow, but everything else compensated easily. A very firm place on my Favourites list.

[Halo: Funny Situations]

In my never-ending quest to prove the previous (negative) reviewer wrong, it is I, VelvetDarkRocks!

Lol this made me laugh! Oh good humour, stuff the rest of them, absolute class. Kind of. You had good graphics even better ideas and generally kick-ass sound, can't think of too much to improve on. Maybe a little more blend in the colours when you're shading, but hey, it's cool. The Blue Halo clock was the funniest in my opinion lol, but perhaps instead of the blue guy saying "No problem" you could have said "He had it coming." or something of the sort lol, but it's all good. I was expecting a bunch of starwar dudes when Vader was unmasked, but fair enough that was a good twist.

All in all, really good ideas for all of these, it was easily an 8. Your voice is fine, this is some nice animation. Good job!

[American Idle]

Hn, I'm still deciding whether or not you spelt "Idol" as "Idle" on purpose...

Aaaaaaanyways, hilarious! Lol absolutely hilarious, you pretty much got it all. Graphics were surprisingly well done, the music was perfect, the animation was very smooth in most places. The only complaint I have is when it was the close-up of his face, the "Salut" looked a little strange, and when he stroked his beard that was rather akward.

The judges were unmistakable too by the way, you did great on them. Gary (if that's his name) looked a little strange, but the sheer brilliance of the idea more than made up for that. I congratulate you for coming up with it, and yeah he'd so totally cream them. Rock on Numa Numa!

~VelvetDarkRocks~

PS: Interesting how the actual Numa Numa Dance is right underneath this.

[Madness Depredation]

Wow, first off this one was easily the most action packed, it was the coolest in regards to that. Change of costume, that seems a little radical and different, but fair enough. Jesus really doesn't like Krinkles (that's what I've named the main character) does he? The Clown's return, well that took me by surprise, but fair enough.

I really liked the bad-ass music in this too, it's a little subliminal but the type you could rock to for hours. A pause button would be appreciated, as it's a long movie, but nonetheless it turned out really well. Very clever fight scenes, the bullet time effect was really cool and you did amazingly well with the sweeping camera angles.

My girlfriend think it's a little too graphic, and has the potential to give nightmares lol. The Clown is particularly scary, I have to admit. Super fast, strong and relentless enemy who ripped the head off someone you've tried to kill for the past 3 movies, I'd be scared lol. Just that touch of randomness too, but great stuff.

Just one last thing to say. In general I have to say this was the coolest of the series so far, but it was a little too different. You kind of lost the plot after number 3. I'm really sorry to be one of the people to say this, and I know I'll get voted not helpful, but your series is degrading in terms of quality. It's just becoming a little mindless, you should either end it or make that the focus of your next movies. It's kind of like what happened to Retarded Animal Babies- they slowly lost the cuteness and went for porn jokes. Don't let your series deteriorate from its amazing quality of simple humour but wicked-ass moves. Thanks =)

[Josh goes to Hell]

Well, er... You know, this reminded me a fair bit of the Stick Slayer Slayer. Same general plot anyway. Yeah sticks do suck, but there was enough humour in this to make it survive the portal, so kudos lol. Made me laugh, amazing how you squeezed all that into 48.1k. Meep!

~VelvetDarkRocks~

[Peanut]

Well uh... I watched it because it was 11.1kb and actually seemed to have some meaning behind it. Aaaaaaand it did, though I don't think a peanut is the best way to tell people to stop submitting crap into the portal. It's overrun, sure, but that slowly gets blammed, and we have a happy contributing force lurking around the new entries known as the Blam Club. Nevertheless, nifty little movie, though I don't think it should have cost an hour of your time unless you were sincerely bored.

[The Samurai's Choice]

Hey cool, the last guy reviewed just yesterday, but I have to disagree with him. I give you credit for the name, I can't resist choices, and I give you further credit for choosing a samurai. Excellent idea, but a rather akward choice of words. The graphics were fine, as few as they were (just the one picture lol), but the music could have been a little different. Less techno, more battle-style. Cute quote at the end though lol, that got a chuckle out of me.

Overall, I don't think you did too badly. Nice work!
