VelvetDarkRocks's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Primal War 09]

Breathtaking.

Your animation skills have come so incredibly far. Your battle scenes become more epic, more detailed, more intense, more creative and more cynical. I'm still not sure whether this series has a happy ending or not- it seems that so often, there is loss. I suppose that's a part of war that you conveyed wonderfully.

Although I didn't think the dialogue was at its greatest, it was chilling nonetheless. It's interesting to note how much you can say without words- use of non-verbal language was particularly astoundingly well done. Simple details like her hair flicking made this movie one of the greatest pieces of flash animation on the web. It's too far undervalued (less than 60 reviews, heavens!), but I enjoy the series very, very much.

One question though. Wasn't the Gorilla's sword taken from the mage? Wouldn't it then have some sort of magical ability?

Interesting antagonist, even more powerful than her brother and slightly more acrimonious. Well done on all of the animations, sketches and drawings alike. Very fluent, and the sound effects were very well selected. All in all, what's not to love?

It's interesting to note that I'm currently playing another game (ie. right this moment) where I've sailed to an island of Gatta (cat anthropes) and I'm battling their archers and warriors alike. Coincidence or fate, I wonder? Update soon! Your rescue plans are both brilliant and awe inspiring. Let's see how our protagonist gets out of this one!

[Madness Antipathy]

Masterfully done!

"Holy crap, frontpage'd so soon"
Did you *not* expect the front page?!

Lol I read the messages and posters stuck on the wall. You're very witty, you know that?

What I love about this series is that so much is happening on screen at once. You have to watch it a few times to appreciate the level of detail that's going on. Whilst I think the plot's taken a steep drop as far as this goes (it's no longer about revenge, it's just about killing people- unless it's about revenge on the clown) there's definitely some well favoured aspects of the Madness Combat series. Excellent choice of music, as always, with a very large variety of weapon. Smooth transitions from doors and angles, and meticulous detail. The way they slump against walls, the empty bullet shells, everything. Bravo.

Again, nice variety of weapons and their use. I liked how the axe was slower than the sword etc. I'm continually dumbfounded how our protagonist can continue to dodge bullets like he does.

What's left to say? A masterpiece of flash, although the plot sort of declined a little after Madness Apotheosis.

[Phoenix Wrong 3]

Lol what the?

I can genuinely say that I did not recognise a single one of those characters. I recognised half the sound tracks though! Um, maybe it was from the lack of understanding, but I don't really know how this could make front page! I liked it though.

[TANKMEN 1.5]

Heh...

I guess I don't share your sense of humour, but I didn't find this insanely hilarious.
