Alpha-Nuva's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness: Pie 2]

Great cartoon violence!

Madness Pie was great. The sequel was better animated, the graphics were improved, the time span grew, and th plot became even better. Great job. Bill must've taken a real beating. The bruises looked bad. Good luck on MM5

[Madness Elimination 5]

Come on!

Splurgle I know you're better than that. Look, I know your comp is fucked up, but you cant end it like this. Read the rest of my comments on the MC forum.

[Madness Elimination 3]

Nice Splurgle

This was probably my favorite episode of the series, cause the Eliminator still had an original look, not the "Hank" appearance as in 4. The guy with the iPod was obviously having a good time, 'cause he must been a sped, otherwise, to dance like that. And, some parts are good, but some things were totally fucked up with this. No feet (I know you're not Krinkels, but he only had to do that once in antipathy), shifting wounds (the cut seemed to float in mid-air at points, and some things were just pointless (he just "happened" to have bandages with him? And though the car was well-made, in the end, where it spun around and rammed the Gangleader's car - the animating could've just been better. The car just suddenly appeared backwards.) I'm not trying to say you're a bad animator, just saying that I think you could've done better.

Also, you said after ME5, you're starting a new series. Is it going to be Madness-based. Hope it is. They're are just so classic.

Splurgle responds:

Hi! Thanks for your constructive review, but unfortunately after ME5, I will stop making madness. And I know, I know, the car chase was poorly animated. I was rushing near the end.

Thanks!

[The Real Mortal Kombat 3]

Challenging someone to Mortal Kombat is wrong

This wasn't as funny as the other two and the animation was a little sketchy, but it's still pretty good.

And to the previous reviewer, that was not from Halo. It was Nightmare from Soul Calibur

[Madness 1337]

Go wigger!

I remember when you only had the preview out for it. This came out pretty good. At the beginning, everything zoomed by a little too fast, but it slowly eased out of that. The flail and chainsaw were both nice touches and the posters were amusing (a teddy bear wanted?) The wheels on the house were a bit flat and you start to wonder, why did he waste his time getting into the house if he could've just jumped on the car anyway. There are several other things I'm wondering, but I'll wait for the next episode for that. Kudos!

[Agent Cliff Pt. 1]

Holy maricón!

Hm! I'm impressed. This was actually a good movie. Now, let's get to criticism.

Good: Well, until Tricky Madness 2 came out, this was the only Madness movie with articulate speaking. The mouths were a bit sketchy, but the speaking was not bad. Also, there was a good amount of humor in here. It was simply hilarious how Cliff tossed the guy into the tree with such ease. And when Cliff was confronted by that guy with the deep voice. First time I saw it I laughed my ass off. "I WILL KEEEEEEEEEEL YOU!" That whole smiling thing was even better. I mean, he was strangling that guy and he just smiled. Thatwas the only real emotion he showed because he was the only character that never spoke. That was a great device.

Bad: Well, the graphics were too bad, and even though the characters were badly drawn, they were very unique. Kudos to that, but the hands were tiny and unrealistic, the feet were too mishapen, and a new foot popped out every once in a while. The blood, too, was badly drawn. But, animation is hard, so I don't want to say you did a horrible job.

Hopefully Part 2 will hold more suprises. Keep up the good work.

[Madness Counter Terrorist]

Ehhhhh...

I'm gonna find out how good I am at animating when I start my series, but for now, that was kinda iffy. You copied the ambush from the air vent from Madness along with the vending machine kill. You also didn't add feet. Whenever I see that, I think "very amateur."

Anyway, there were some good parts to it. The characters had VERY high detail (you even added pants. I wonder if Hank or any other Madness character runs around half-naked.). You also added zombies. I loved the hanging-hang looks of them. And how those two guys didn't take action until they saw the poster? That was very good. However, even though this was a story with a plot, the zombies are unexplained. Hope you give an explanation in the next episode.

[Madness Christmas 2006]

Hmmmm...

This was actually a good parody among many other shitty ones. I liked the Tricky demon person. Kinda looked like Magician from House of the Dead 2, with the worms and all. It was funny how Tricky was hiding in that guy and an execute button to kill him with. A good story line, too. Those character looked like Kai's sprites. I'm glad you put them to good use.

The zombies were a little bland, though. The walked in formation, had no diversity, and no movement to their walk. I know animation's hard, but a good animation with as little glitches as possible, makes that viewers happy. However, that was a small fault compared to how not-totally-shitty-like-many-o thers this parody was.

export-gold responds:

Hey good to hear from u and man am i lovin that 9!!!!!!

[-:Destination:-]

Well...

That was alright. lemme tell you, you definitely improved from the last one and it's looking really good now, but still, there's the bad. Did you use movie clips for walking? I couldn't pause it to tell if you did. It looked very odd because there was now swagger or bounce to the walk. Also, the turning effects were bad. I saw Mike sort of "spin" as if he were a piece of cardboard. Also, there was that whole non-moving reserve enemies. I know it's hard to animate this, but it would look much better if they could react or attempt to fight. I mean, one guy had a clear shot at his nuts, but waited too long and was killed.

Aside from that, I liked the posters from Maximum Ninja and the ideas of combat from Madness.

scrimpy responds:

I know. Little eastereggs in form of posters are always awesome. I didn't use a walking, it was simply tweened, and I was too lazy making the body and stuff move to the feets. The enemies, meh... I can't do much 'bout them.

Thank you though.

[Tricky Madness 2]

Great job!

Great job, Krinkels. That was an awesome animation! I saw the first part of it on your website. Never knew that you were gonna finish it!
