VelvetDarkRocks's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Real Legend 3]

I love it.

You could make a truly epic Zelda tribute if you wanted, but parodies seem to go well with you! This one certainly does. I love the music and sound effects- so nostalgic!

The jokes are so accurate! Navi, Link robbing houses, the flaredancer... Awesome. I love Navi when she's not a blue ball with wings- I think you did really well personifying fairies. I love how she doesn't swear so much in this one.

Not quite as brilliant as the other ones, but I'm really glad. I liked it a lot, and I'm glad it's progressing sequentially. Could have gone without the fart joke, but really good. Graphically of course your animation is flawless. Although I wonder how he got the Zora Tunic when he didn't have the Goron Tunic.

Always awesome, keep it up friend.

[Unforgotten Realms: Epi6]

Awesome.

Lol at the videogame sound effects and music. Always quality stuff. The jokes in the series are so numerous and of such hilarity all I can say is I love this series. Like seriously, eight monacles. Gold.

Jacque is my favourite character. If he were on a T-shirt, I would definitely buy him.
Sacre bleu I'm a real boy! Bahahaha.

You really do this all by yourself? I thought there were at least two of you (for voice acting if not for scripting as well). The closing theme song was my favourite part. Man, you're a genius.

[Final Fantasy A+]

This was fantastic!

The perfect Final Fantasy flash world. I learned a teeny weeny bit of Japanese from this. It's just awesome. Truly. Great to see the many references from the game and how the characters were given faces rather than pixels. An excellent adaptation. Yokotekita!

[Unforgotten Realms: Epi5]

Awesome stuff.

I love the Pokémon theme in this. This series is gold and will probably always remain as such. They're such legendary characters. Their relationship is actually extremely complex and I admire how consistent their personalities have been throughout the series. Hilarityga. Always.

[tWHYlight]

Ha, not bad!

For all the guys who were sucked into watching it with their girlfriends, this is painfully true. Oh it hurts, sometimes, to think about. Fansservice. Pah.

Bobert-Rob responds:

Hey, it's painful to think about... think of how painful it was to ANIMATE parts of that damn thing. Yeah, I'm glad I did it, but it was still lame animating it, heh. Animating the non-Twilight parts was the best part of doing it, heh. Thanks for checking this out!

[Valhalla Knights 2]

Nice!

It sure was a long time in the making, but I think it's safe to say it was well worth it. Graphics and animation were superb as always. Some tiffs with the voice acting (the accents sounded like the actors were trying just a little too hard), but the action scene was immensely wicked as always. And of course everyone likes a naked lady. I must say though that the story is pretty cool, but still a little improbable. I don't really understand how a thief (whose loot happened to involve a diamond necklace) released a necromancer of some description, who raised an army of apparent undead out of nowhere. Otherwise, I really like the movie and enjoy your signature style. Keep 'em coming.

[The Rock Lee Chronicles]

Sweet!

While not perfectly true to the anime, that's a pretty freaking epic tribute.

I feel his rage....

Well done sir. A work well made.

[One Big Morphing Orgasm]

It is indeed a work of art.

Beautiful, truly. Apparently random, but I have to wonder how you (and collaborative artists) came up with what each object would morph in to. Is there perhaps a story or symbolic meaning attached to them, or is it entirely aesthetic? I think if the morphs somehow represented something it would be a pretty epic way of telling a story. Very nicely one indeed, and beautiful music.

TheBoogley responds:

yeah, I've seen that sort of thing done in documentaries... there is a real potential in it to tell a story with rhythm, perfect for poetry. :)

[The Adventures of Steve 3]

A little disappointing.

I'm a massive fan of the first two Everyday Adventures of Steve, which I consider the peak of humour. Though Steve 3 is longer and filled with more intense action, the jokes and puns took a severe dive, though there were still a few good ones in there.

In terms of music, you made some excellent choices there, but as the voice acting (while your effort is noted) was just a little hard to buy. As for the animation, you've noticably stepped it up a notch which is great to see, but all this doesn't quite make up for the traditional Steve we (or at least I) know and love.

I was hoping the ending would redeem the previous nine minutes, but it was highly anti-climactic: I was expecting Steve to demand a promotion or free access to porn or something similar, but it just sort of cut off. That said, the Megaman credits were pretty cool.

All up... Though longer, the humour (what I feel is the winning characteristic of the Steve series) took a pretty serious dive leaving the whole movie a little subpar. Looking forward to Steve 4 and a renewed supply of humour.

Neo-Egyptian responds:

This review pretty much PERFECTLY sums up how I feel about the episode. I think after 20 months I'd lost the ability to see Steve 3 objectively, but now I've finished it it's pretty obvious that I was trying to make something that wasn't really a proper Steve episode. If I'm being totally honest, the previous episodes look like balls - especially the first one! - but they did so well because people seem to really enjoy the crazy humour and the completely random enemies and action. The Steve series it not meant to be heavily plot-driven or full of pseudo-dramatic dialogue, it's meant to be about Steve kicking ass and 'cracking wise'.

But anyway, I am still proud of this episode and I'm glad a lot of people enjoyed it to some degree, but don't worry - Steve 4 is gonna be old-school.

[Ohmygodimonfire!]

Nice.

An entertaining little music video. With a title like that, how could I not resist? The song was funny at times, but did seem a little repetitive and I got rather bored with it eventually. However, it was indeed an amusing flash animation, and credits an 8 from me.
