Alpha-Nuva's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Keyboard movement tut]

HUH?

What was that? Did you intend to show someone how to do something, because I got nothing. If you're going to make a tutorial, explain what you are doing. All you did was make a flash where a ball hit a block and you made a squiggly shape.

ecw-studios responds:

are you kidding? I showed you how to make movement with movieclips and collision with them. Then the collision brings you to another frame. I even paused at the scripts. Sorry that you just can't see that.

[Madness Testrun V2]

And once again...

... we have another failure tribute. Look, use a frame rate higher than 12, give credit to Madness interactive, because you ripped all of those graphics, make more lifelike movements, and have a plot.

And don't blame your failure on your age or attempt, because if you're going to submit something, it can't be crap like this. This isn't what we want to see.

hollowbullet responds:

rh I figured that I woundent really reply to this, because I know you are a good critizer, but this was another of my learning experiences and I had actually made this befroe I learned that you could actually increase the fram limit :P so ya thanks for the review though I plan to do much better in the future

[Cruelty]

Great for the first try!

Your first submission wasn't too bad. It was well-animated and had a good moral. (Quite a difference from Black Cock Down. LOL) Anyway, just checking this out. Good luck on ME5SE.

Splurgle responds:

Lol. SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! SE is a secret!

[Madness Mafia Massacere]

I wish to severe my eyes from my optic nerves

Wow, you really have no talent at all. You used a 12 fps frame rate apparently, it was extremely choppy, and it was pointless. And a Mafia clone army? First, this had nothing to do with the Mafia. Go read a book on the Brooklyn mob to learn about the Mafia. Second, Mafia and clone army don't mix. That's like putting Star Wars in the Godfather. It's awkward and just doesn't work. Third, you completely copied Madness Combat. This was pointless and horribly made. It's not too hard to make a decent Madness Movie. I'm making one and it's coming out way better than this. Just because you're eleven years old and you can't animate doesn't mean we should pity you. If you can't make a good animation, don't submit it to NewGrounds just so you can be idolized by your friends for a large piece of crap. We've already got enough horrible Madness movies on NewGrounds. Go watch Madness Elimination or Maximum Ninja and learn from them before you make another animation.

Wyattfilms responds:

I know Butload s about the mafia but I had nothing better to do and this my second animation so stfu im 14 and If you like complaining about me so mutch then go to the hatemail forum on my site and comenst to cussing me off

[madness last stand]

No. Just, no.

Graphics: Way too many gradients, you used Kai's sprites instead of your own (that's lazy), too many movie clips, very choppy, horrible backgrounds and perspective, that head, so misplaced, on the side of the intro screen... Need I go on?

Style: This didn't really make sense. It had no solid plot.

Sound: Music was used from Depredation. Good music, but it seemed better than the animation itself.

Violence: Killing was done horribly. Still, it's Madness violence.

Interactivity: Only a Play button?

Humor: I yawned.

Overall: You better have a etter second installment, because that will be two animation composed of fail you've made. Make a plot, don't use 12 fps, make smooth motions, make better graphics, and use less gradients, because it looked like there were two red lights outside, the happened to be placed, when viewed from the window, in the center of the window view.

Also, don't make fun of Chaos or NinjaPoo. They are way better animators than you. You apparently haven't seen their stuff. And Anti-Clock Day was way better than this, man.

matt2k7 responds:

ok

[Pissed Off and Armed]

A worthy Madness Tribute among many shitty ones!

VERY Good. Animation is hard and you pulled this off with flying colors. Though you lacked feet, sounds, and blood effects. You made up for it with pure professional animating, the kill count, originality, fluidity, and multiple occurences at once.

Kudos! I give you a 10!

Tome89 responds:

Thanks!

But don't call it a Madness Tribute, m'kay...

[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!

[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.

[Madness Elimination 4]

Setoma! Lay off this was a good flash!

Yo, Setoma. Whoever you are, you have no apparent experience in criticism. First of all, you obviously have a slow-ass computer, cuz this thing slid faster than your cock through your mother's throat, k? And don't say that he ripped off Krinkels with the Eliminator Costume and the character resembling Jebus (Jebus, no typos.). First of all, I'm planning on making a Madness animation spoof and the main character wears a trenchcoat, a ski cap and a bandana covering his mouth. It's not copying. It's simply inspiration through another's idea. Remember that old Rayman game? That looked a lot like the Madness characters, but I don't think krinkels copied Rayman. Even if he did, it is not EXACTLY the same character. Second, other spoofs use Jebus-like and Satanic (opposite of Jebus) characters. What about Tricky, the clown used in the Madness Series. That was copied from another animation on NG. Third, Hank was killed five times in the Madness series. Why should it be any different if the Eliminator died?

Anyway, Splurgle. I do not wish this post to be entirely about a retort. Your flash was really good. You've really improved since the third. I liked the end with the chainsaw. The Eliminator looked crazy enough to murder someone (which he then did... to many someones). Also, I paused the movie and zoomed in on the posters on the walls. All of those comments - were they real comments or were they mock comments you used. I saw that Krinkels said "You ripped me", but so did Eugene "Stooge" with his Maximum Ninja Series. Can't wait til Eliminator 5 comes out. Hope you do well on it!

Splurgle responds:

On the posters, they didn't actually write that. When I showed Krinkels on MSN, my old ones, he simply gives me criticism.

Thank you for the fabulous review!!
