VelvetDarkRocks's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Black Belt VS Black Mage]

Lol, this was... Not quite what I expected. I was hoping it to be a serious thing, the intro was my favourite part unfortunately. All the same, quite reasonably well done for a sprite comedy. Suprise endings, love 'em. Actually, I guess they both kinda lost in both of the endings. Anyone realise that? Not bad though, not bad at all, I'd give it a 4. "And damn me for falling for them!" made me laugh lol. Mm... I wonder if anyone'll make a serious one of these, but I liked it all the same. Nice job.

["Per Aspera" trailer]

He didn't move very much, did he? Certainly the graphics were 3D, but because of the lack of movement, they did seem less than average. The plot is amazing, and as like Fairy Sorrow, I would have given it a 20 out of 10. I do give the graphics a 10, though they didn't move very much at all. The music could have been alot better, but overall it was a pleasant movie. As a trailer, it's amazing. The moment you continue this it'll be on my Favourite Movies list. Until then, I have no further comments. Excellent job, I'd very much like to see it continued soon.

PS: Just a note, the arrow wouldn't have actually hit him, so I don't see why he bothered catching it =P

[Fairy Sorrow]

This... This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen... Please, read those words carefully. It's so moving... The music was beautiful. The graphics were beautiful, as were the animation. The story was beautiful, the fairy was beautiful, everything about her mission was beautiful. This makes humans see what they're doing to the world, the teardrop had her spirit, everything she believed in, and to fall defeated... All of this. Beauty.

I've translated the runes to those who care.

On the top left corner, “Mystery”
On the top right corner, “Death”
On the left hand side, “You cannot take your hope there”
On the right hand side, “The worlad of Earth lies here”
On the base, “Come in and you shall never return”

May all who see this weep at its beauty.

[Xombie: Chapter 4]

Aww... Come on man. That is such a cruel cliff-hanger. Okay, now that plot's developing again. It doesn't seem so much about Zoe though. Now the series is about who Nephthys is and her past, though the character bio certainly did help with that. What I'm confused about it how the Chimaera was kept from wrecking the museum or attacking Nephthys. Those shadows and the machine also add alot of mystery. What is this all leading to?? Really, you must relieve me soon. I'm nearly positive the password has something to do with what happened to Zoe, because at the start of the last two her teddy dominated the opening shot. I really can't wait to see what's going to happen. You have the most amazing plot developing right now, it's just going to take a long time before it's revealed. I guess we'll all just have to wait, but please, don't let it be too long!

As usual, graphics in this were as astounding as anything of not better. Your style is amazing, and the smoothness of the animation is incredible. Fantastic voices, especially Nephthys' Egyptian accent. I love all of the voices and music, it's just fantastic. I love the series, it's just phenomenal. My strongest compliments to everything, truly, brilliant work.

[Xombie: Chapter 3]

Wow, this one was amazing! Though less in plot development more in action, it didn't cease to be outstanding in all the aspects of a good flash. Fantastic voices, music, graphics were no exception, truly, brilliance again. You made everything so very, very well! The only thing I found annoying was Dirge's lame jokes, but hey. That's not a scratch on the other things that brought up the score. Another 10 for you! I really, really can't wait to see what happens. This series is amazing, and really, it's too long to say exactly how good everything was. Please just read this slowly and fully; I loved it entirely, and it is so far the most professional and favoured series I have ever seen in my life. Please make another one soon if you can, you're keeping us all in suspense! To chapter 4!

[Xombie: Chapter 2]

Lol! I'm pretty sure there were lots of symbols in this one, but I've had enough of film studies for a while. It was very, very professionally done though. Everything a good movie needs, and incorporated into the cartoon. As with every good production, more is wanted, and of course, this is no exception. It took me a while to realise you hadn't published the first chapter on Newgrounds, but now after watching it from your site, it's making a lot more sense.

The plot is developing exceptionally well for a series, as well as being funny and action-packed. This really has no flaws as far as design is concerned. The graphics are also very unique, quite astounding how amazing they are. This series really could turn out to be the best seen yet, more popular than Retarded Animal Babies if you could just make more of them! I haven't complaints though, they're amazing, and really. Fantastic work in all aspects, you've earned a 10!

["Chickens"]

What the crap? I mean... Nah, what the crap? Lol, great music, but very little plot. It was pretty cool, just pointless. Mm... I give you a 3. Funky. Nah, cool. Yeah this was cool, nice job.

[H(a)unters - Trailer]

Hey, wow that was actually cool! I wouldn't load last night, so I came back to find it today, and I agree with all the positive feedback you've been getting. This really was like a movie trailer.

Just a few suggestions. The tyre was hardly distinguishable other from the noise. Just give it a hub cap thing. Lol, I don't know anything about cars, but one of those covering the wheels would have made all the difference, and less emphasis on the spikes.

Also, after the guy was killed, the scene after was very nicely drawn! Just 2D. Another tip for the eyes, is go easy on the colour blending thing. Lol I sound like I don't have a clue what I'm talking about. Ah well, I hope you know what I mean anyway. You do overdo it a bit much though, like with the toothpaste. It's the opposite for the scene that says;
"A small town in northern Germany..."
And sorry to sound picky, but this is practically the one thing that would make it front-page worthy. The scene with the flashlight was really good! Just don't make the guy's skin so dark. A lighter shade would have made all the difference.

Other than that, I think it was very well animated with fantastic music, and very decent graphics. Excellent job on this, it really did seem like a movie trailer. I could praise you further, but I'll sum it up now. This was very, very well done, and I hope you decide to make the movies one day.

[Determination]

Oh my gosh! That was beautiful! Lol, okay it's a turtle. But this was so artistically and perfectly done. You made it seem so bad with the dodgy preloader, but this really was very very sad, and beautiful. The music was... Oh I really can't go on. Truly, this was beautiful, if a little comical, but beautiful all the same. Very well done, I loved it. You know what? Favourites list. It's a rare occassion, but beautiful... The very last moment, you could hear her crying. "I did it." With those final words, she died. Aww, okay I won't go on, but really. I loved it.

["Stripped" - VHS]

Review on the Chapters:

The first one was a bit like something lame they'd do in Jackass, but I didn't particuarly like it. The last sentence got a sorta smile out of me though.
The second one I barely made anything out as far as voices were concerned. The crappy animation wasn't funny, it was terrible.
The third one wasn't funny in my eyes either. Just random.
Lol, the fourth one was good, it made me laugh. That brought your score up a bit.
And lol again, the fifth one made me laugh. A bit disappointing honestly for these. And of course, I'll be voted not helpful any second now.

Review on "Stripped":

Hey, that was amazing! The graphics at least, and the lip sync. They so easily get a 10, I'd vote more if I could! Ignoring of course, the girl without a nose =p.
I don't think you actually drew half of them though. They didn't move, except their mouths, so you might have gotten them from something else. Sorry if it was otherwise, but really, the graphics are indeed amazing, the best part of the movie. The girl in the kimono with huge eyes made me laugh!
There wasn't actually much of a point to the movie though, it just had alot of anime chicks looking hot with singing with a man's voice. More of a movie to get rated high from perverts, so sorry but it wasn't that appealing to me.

As a general movie, in whole, it was really quite basic and random. The chapters let it down a bit, but really it had no point. For what it's worth, (now practically nothing), it had the best graphics I've ever seen, and was purely fantastic in that sense. I didn't particuarly like it, but I'm sure hundreds of other people do, so yeah great work then.
