3p0ch's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[BFSQ]

I was completely blindsided by an animation on NewGrounds about impossibly huge swords that didn't end up devolving into a cock joke, but this had me LMAO.

TomDoy responds:

I did consider it

[The Daring BlackBuck Raids - The Falklands War.]

While I normally like your battle descriptions, in this case the extra syllables in Argentina and Argentine threw me for a loop. Would that be how the Brits pronounce it?

ImperialScribe responds:

Thanks for the feedback.

I had to speak really fast to fit this into YouTubes shorts time limit, so it's just poor pronunciation on my part.

[Breathing Space]

Pretty awesomesauce. There are a few things I could nitpick about -- the music was too pop for my tastes and there were parts of the animation that seemed more like posing than action -- but overall the fluidity, pace, and quality of the animation with a well delivered story without words and interesting weaponry was exceptional enough that those nitpicks won't budge the score.

What were you thinking uploading it right before the frontpage is gonna be swarmed with Madness Day submissions tho?

ArtOfAlexH responds:

Thanks, sorry the music wasn't to your taste, and yeah, the animation is a bit old so hopefully I've improved since then, but I'm glad you enjoyed it overall.

And honestly, I'm relatively new to newgrounds so I was not aware of what Madness Day was, or that it was even coming up

[TD-Manga-ka]

Keenspot? OMG, blast from the past... now I wonder whatever happened to the dudes who wrote "Ozy and Millie" (David Simpson IIRC?) and "Sinfest" (IDFK who it was anymore TBH but the comic was coolio... Angel dudes trying to convert Satan: "What more could you want than an afterlife of eternal happiness?" (or smth like that), and Satan: "Orgies on speed. Good day.").

But that thing you said about being too much of a lazy ass to be bothered to Google it is totes 110% true :3 I guess that just comes with the territory -- they were part of an era that's come and gone, to be replaced by something else that too will come and go, but having been outstanding and touching a lot of people during their day.

Raziberry responds:

Sinfest is still going I believe, and the writer got weird.

[Singularity: Observation]

The faces on the protagonist seemed really odd to me, but this has still got to be my pick for the slickest combat animations of Madness day 2019.

Ellvis responds:

Everytime I upload a madness movie with human faced character. There are people who are saying That human doesnt belong to madness animation. But I was sayin. there are so many other animations with classic Madness character. So why couldnt I make something different. Just try to replace this character to the classic madness one (in your mind) And than what will you see? Just another Madness cartoon which will be forgotten in one day. I just want to make things memorable adn understandable.
Thanks for review anyway.

[Oneohtrix Point Never - ANIMALS (Fan Music Video)]

If you haven't already, double-check whether it's ok to upload or if you need to get the musician's permission first or anything.

That musical style isn't really my thing, but I can appreciate it and how well the video works with it. Maybe make this rated M instead of A so it can get more views.

waxpersons responds:

I definitely don't have the permission but I've made it clear that this is purely student work.
Thanks for the advice though!

[Sinking a Soviet Sub]

This is very well produced. Graphics, animation, and music all seem professionally done. There might be a tiny bit of room for improvement in making the voice acting sound a little less stiff and scripted and a little more fluid and natural, but that's a pretty minor critique considering how impressive the overall production value is.

lewisroscoe82 responds:

Thanks so much 3p0ch! 😄 really happy you enjoyed it, I’ll be putting a couple more promo scenes on here in the next few days too

[Black Hole: Viraemia by Adívolah]

I liked the determination of the boy and was strangely amused by his comment to go eat your cereal first before worrying about the black hole that's approaching the Earth. But... that's not how black holes work. I can suspend disbelief to some degree to allow for artistic license, but I think I would have liked it more if it were either more reflective of how a black hole would actually behave or if it were to simply ignore physics altogether and have some sort of demonic monster come to annihilate the planet instead. The physics just "pushed a button" for me so I couldn't help but shake my head by the end instead of just enjoying the artwork.

Adivolah13 responds:

It's not a Black Hole.
😉
That's just clickbait.

[31]

I think I have to agree with BeatVoid -- while the art is really well done, it somehow didn't "touch" me. The best way I can describe it is, I think of the pictures more of as a depiction of grotesquery more than as "OMG that was once a human just like anyone I know and now it's... it's just... Jeez the universe is fucking twisted". Part of it may have had to do with the pentagrams which, when you notice and start looking for them in all the pictures if they're presented back-to-back in a movie like this, sort of detracts from the overall vibe. Don't get me wrong I think the artwork is great, I just wanted to pitch in my two cents on what IMHO could be potential next steps.

OmegaBlack1631 responds:

wasn't meant to really touch anyone, its just a quick compilation of my goreober and the "pentagram" is my signature
