FMlilgarfield's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness: Sniper's Rain]

Amazed as always...

with how your improving in animating in madness.

I liked your idea of using one of the xat chatroom smilie as the madness charecters face, an original piece of clip art for madness charecter design.
The Robotic Charecters were also nicly drawn by toxicdevil which will suit in his flash movies as well, Also the Sniper Rifles were nice and colourful, i give credit to toxicdevil for that to.

The Fighting Action was well animated and performed, with the concept of one charecter trying to shoot another, but is defensive with deflecting sword action, all the movements and frames per second are what made it display nicelly well done.

I also thought you put in a great amount of effort to animate an out framed background of cliffs where the sniper riflists are standing to strike, along synced with the camera action.

Overall your improving non stop with animating. Keep it up!

man, thanx for another fucking amazing review for you dude. You got some great fucking analyzing skills, but i guess that's why your good at art. ;)

[Santa's Stress]

A Taste of Improvements

This Madness Short is humorious and very seasonal, also another great mark of how much your improving in animation, i'll once again state.

The Facial featured emotions of the Madness Charecters were well motioned along too the reaction of the short flowing plot, and really dose express's Santa's anger, and the happy guy's face when he look treatended and scared, was nicely drawen. This shows your effortful animating techniques.

The Text Speech Fronts were nicelly presented, and animated, in some cases of this movie synced well with Santa's facial expressing. I also like the frosty Texts as shown at ending credits. Not to mention of course the nice camera movements motioned in the movie, with the facial close up, and background slide along.

Santa's Charecter, was nicelly drawen to express his stressful charecter, and the santa suit, you done a great job of drawing.

Also the Soundtrack matched the style of this madness short, and altogether is a bit of a krinkel's alike.

As i conclude, This is a Short but Sweet Flash and deserved to be in the Christmas 2008 collection, and earns my 10/10 rating

merry belated christmas on review by the way, lol
:)

nggangsterpimp responds:

oh shit. and yet another great review form you. thanks so much man. this fucking review gets my 10/10. :D yea, i was lucky enough to find that font on a free font website about 6 days before i made this movie. i knew it would come in handy some day. :D

[Random Insults 6]

A Grand Remake Of The classics

This very same movie sets a great mark from how you have been improving among animation since the very beginning of your history on newgrounds.

The Random Insults face guy's was in much better quality drawing, compared to the 1st random insults, back then the face's were blurry, and at a quite low quality appearence, but since you got so much experience in drawing, and mastered the laws of Flash, The new looks of the random insults face certainlly proves to be better.

I also liked the realistic carpark background, its was in a nice appearence and matchs the attitude atmosphere which is rage, antagenism. Another good quality of the background was its realistic photography makes the cartooned animated face's stand out well.

The Insults, and Jokes of the flash are just extremelly harllious, witty, and well rhyemed. The subtitled texts were well synced with the soundtrack, and was insuch good quality. The Genre of this movie just gives the best degree of your humorous side as an animator.

Another great feature of this movie, which everybody seems to notice is the slideshowed pictures matching almost each and every insult displays a much more funnier visuallisation. The Syncing between the pictures and the speed of Sam's voice was just superb.

The ending catchphrase was a brillent moment of the movie, with nice sound effects and great "Madness Combat" features, which was all put together well for motion.

In Conculsion. This Episode of "Random Insults" is just an epic cartoon, and explains in appeared details of how your becoming more of a legend on Newgrounds as you have rapidlly improved on animation. the quality work of this earns my 10/10 and voted 5/5:) before i go...

DUDE, REVIEWT YO MOVIE'S EPIC LOOKING ASS! >:3

nggangsterpimp responds:

HOLY SHIT! BEST REVIEW EVER WRITTEN MAN! THANK YOU! dude review yo movies. lol.

[Madness Hunt]

Overall, a good madness flash.

Firstlly i'll state that the featured appearences of the classic spirits by Krinkel's was well animated, as shown on Redeemmer, and Avenger, also many of the other originals.

The Charecters and Plot would have taken inspiration from Krinkel's Madness Combat Seris, Mini Madness, Maxinum Ninja, as I noticed while this Movie, brings a thin Plot, as a Man Chase's after Sheriff, and murdering his Conspericy of Guards, is Niclly introduted for this flash, but i'll point out that thicken out the plot of this flash and bringing it more life, would backup the interesting viewing for the upcoming sequal of this.

The Into Scene had Nice camera action, but after that, The Camera Viewing of the motion of the cartoon seemed to be forgotten, what will help improve it is by improvisng with the Camera Options (I.E. zoom in, zoom out) and visuallizing yourself, of how the camera animation, will bring a strong impact of Viewing Pleassure for the watcher. The sweet gig of camera animation is that it helps bolden out tension, suspence, and charecter viewing, and that should be a priority for the sequal aswell as the Action (madness) being animated.

Referrnces for inspiration for quality camera animation, that i would recommend are: LittleLuckyLink's Dawn of Madness Alpha Nuva's Redness 2, and Master Sumas's Killing Spree IV. just view those and focus closly on the featured camera animation and you'll notice thats one great quality of action for animation.

Thoughout The Cartoon i found the speech bubbles of the charecters humourising, which positivlly brings a comedy side to the flash.

I liked the idea of you including special guests Hank, and Jebus, lol.
But one negative thing for The three protagenist scenes were that During The Action The Hands were only on sight of shooting and killing the guards, and the bodys of the three protagenists were completelly off screen and that can be viewing pleasure ruining. as which i would advice you not to feature any more multi protagenist animations until you obtain more experience for the one protagenist character animating, and what i would recommend for you to search inspiration and ideas for multi charecter scenes are Madness Combat 9 (when it comes out), and Alpha Nuva's 1st Redness, then you should learn more of the standerds for animating multi protagenists.

The One Protagenist Action was very well animated and made The protagenist look a very skilled fighter, with both the well rotated movements and well active speed. i support you to keep up the good work and skills.

The Ending gave a nice finishing touch to the cartoon.

and I will state that you had a nice choice of soundtrack for this cartoon, very well synced.

In Conclusion i think you done a good job with this flash, and put some degree of effort as the movie was long last, and hope you'll find all i review helpful to you. and the very best of luck animating the sequal Madness Hunt 2.

:)

Crazymonkey154 responds:

Thanks, man. Wow, you sure had lots to say! More camera movement in MH2 than this? Already doing that, lol. Glad you liked it, pal.

[Dawn of the Madness]

Madness, and Zombie Horror at its best

I'd call this a top high light in the History of Madness Tributes, as Summerised...

The Intro of this movie was epic, The Gorillaz Soundtrack fitted just for the begaining, and it was nicelly synced with the viewing, of the camera action and the introdutionery animation as the zombie creatures appear.

I really liked the look of the zombies of this cartoon, as its at a more Horrific, Goreific, Mutated appearence, which suited the atmosphere of the movie, as displayed with the colours and bloody details,

The Human Charecters, appeared more Casual, and Mortal, which can relate to what realistic zombie apocalypse, survivior's appearence which gives much more original, and unique charecters compared to Krinkel's Madness Combat Seris, and many Tributes by other artists which are promoted on newgrounds.

The Urban Backgrounds of common Zombie Apocalypse Divistation, was nicly drawed in such Positive messy details, whcih the all the Carnage, Motionless street traffic, and i well change subject to comment that the cars, and motors was smoothenlly drawed, and the City Buildings looked great.

As for the Action Packed animation, i would state that what brought such an impact of quality viewing, was LittleLuckyLink's Camera Viewing skills which not only makes the action look ever so dramatic, but is well made as the plot flows along the Action and thats something to give the viewer's eyes great visuallisation which is brillentlly made for Zombie Horror/ Action Film.

Speaking of Camera Action, LittleLuckyLink's talent for that did not only motioned well with the Action, but also at some moments of the movie brought afew Frighting Surprise's which even made me jump off my seat, and gave goosebumps to my skin, and special quality, should always be a top priority for other artist's when there animating zombie, horror cartoons.
what i would referrence to LittleLuckyLink, and other artist's to view for the inspiration of ideas for this quality of Camera Action would be to watch:

SickDeathFiend's Animation's including his epic "Dead Rain", you can't go wroung with seeking inspiration and ideas from there, and i would also suggest for ideas of zombie animations, would be Oscar Johnson's "Castle" Seris, now thats Someone with Great Camera Action Skills which are relevent to the Zombie action environment.

Anyways as review continues, A Favorite Scene of mine of this cartoon, would be the Zombie Shark Scene, I was very impressed of how you gave original features for being included along with This Madness animation, and as i well state once again, The Camera Action and animated views of the charecters, ocean scenery, etc was all together well synced.

what i would have advised for that scene, would be to draw the at as much of a goreific appearence as the madness zombie creatures, like for example, more bleeding wonds, blood stains all over the sharks body, and draw ribs, and bones appearing out of the sharks flesh, that will make it more convincing that the sharks an undead mutation.

And also The Sea backgrounds, are lacking, slight realistic textures. Adding Radient Tones to the Sea will give much more better appearence to level the Quality of Sea Backgrounds to be as amazing as the backgrounds of the Urban Lands.

The Motioned Car and Boat Scenery was nicely animated which i will state is one of the best of Car Scenes among other Madeness Tributes, as appeared with the three dimensional Views of The Transport Motors, and The Camera Action gave just the well suit motion, of Animation, also not to mention the Backgrounds animation, really brings it to life.

In Conculsion This is one of the finest Animations i have seen from LittleLuckyLink and Earns my 10/10 rating.

:)

LittleLuckyLink responds:

This review made me open up the fla. for the second one and start working on it.
Thank you very much for the review.

[Madness Gossip 5]

Much improved from the very 1st

Firstly this is just a great remake to mark down your reconstructed skills in animating ever since your flashes from back the old days.

i Noticed the microsoft sam voice sounds in a better quality, Along with the background music. awesome soundtrack choice by the way:)

It was approve worthy, that you composed the madness spirits and backgrounds in layout which is like one of the most highlighted redevelopments made in this episode.

The Lip syncing fits on the madness charecters faces, well and has great timing with the voice activation, and the hand movements laced with body langueage makes this cartoon look more alive.

The amimated speacker was cool, vibrating towards the soundtrack of the movie. and made the back look more in action.

The Text on Subtitles made it more humourious and more worthy to watch along with the smiley faces. The more Strong language sounds humorising being said by microsoft sam. i also missed your own voice acting from the 2nd episode which i'll say once again.

In Conculsion i am proud of this continuation of the madness gossip seris being made with such improvements and i'll rate 10 :)

nggangsterpimp responds:

yes flash 8 sound compression is great. yes i kinda half lyp synced. yea i thought the speacker was a great addition. it took while to add the subs. thnx. my voice acting? bah i get shivers when i hear my own voice on the mic. but thnx for the well constructed ass review. :D

[Redness Precision]

One Of The Greatest Gangster Cartoons Ever

Alot of the making of this seris has changed since the 1st redness episode. in a much positive point of view

firstly the into scene was amazingly building up the suspence for all the action (madness if you will call), with fine syncing along the music. the new york subway trains were nicly drawen, which along with the back ground gives fine representation that the scenery is simply New York City, instead of the Nevarda scenery which is usually appeared in the original madness seris and most tributes, and that there gives the appropiate mafia atmosphere which this story would require. stating of which the backgrounds of Central Park, Metropolitan Muesuem and other New York city scapes where well originally drawen to create such theme matching scenery.

All Charecters were once again nicely drawen as they appear in smart, gangster suited wear, liced with nice italian fashsion, also combined with the fashsion sort of clothes you see Hank, Sanford, wearing in Krinkel's Series which all adds into unique impact for the looks of the charecters of the Redness Seris.

I also respect the fact that Alpha drew his own guns and weapons with nice mild colours, and realistic details, looked awesome. i was most impressed with the sniper rifles. That just gave quite the origenal touch of redness.

The Voice i will state is much more drama catching than the last episode. I mean Alpha Nuva sounded more of a Al Pachino in Scarface, Charecter, full of gangster personallised rage, anger, and just the right attitude for giovunni as the story flows into deeper tension. Alpha, in my was the greattest voice actor in the cartoon, had the right skills required for his starring charecter's roles, with the fine italian accent for Salvatorie, for great instants

The Animated Action for this episode was superb. The Sniper rifle battle scene was amazing with the facial drama on giovunni's face, the great three dimensional views of the sniper rifles, and awesomelly skilled camera action as the bullets fly, close ups of charecters facail emotions as they aim. it all adds up into one of the finest sniper action scenes ever.
The Madness based action was also epic, because of composed camera action with the tension of the madness, and how the background was at good use of the footage of the fighting, and a touch voice acting made it all very thrilling and dramatic.

The Soundtrack of this cartoon had great featured audio from Tom Fits, i notice how he has improvements of melodies, bass, and drumlines, and fine s.f.x. have made such nice fitting to sync with the motion of the cartoon

In Conculsion All of this positive impact makes this gangster cartoon an epic legend and has my well earned 10

:)

Alpha-Nuva responds:

I think you're exaggerating a bit. The toon didn't come out exactly as I had planned, but I will take credit for putting some degree of quality work into it. Thanks for the review.

[Madness Ownage]

The good work has been kept up

NGgangster. you been doing much more better than earlier madness parody's by yourself.

the movements of the spirits has been smoothed up more, and i am proud to notice the you took my advice of given rotational views towards the madness charecters. the only advice i can give to it is that you keep practicing like this in towards making the movemental action much gritty until you get it as right as the big names in madness tribute animating.

the gorefic animated material of this movie, was improved but for the elevator gag, what i suggest is that the blood spilling should been animated sliding and dripping down the background walls and make it look more gritty.

The Elevator scene was well animated with good action, and added humour which you always do a good job of giving such humourising touchs throughout your animations, and are all admired for(i.e madness gossip, madness 3 tests, etc). but advice i'd give for that part would be to animate the desert eagle gun in a 3 dimensional like manner aiming towards the background of the cartooned scene.

the ending made me lol when hank sighed and gives the impresion that he was like "fuck, killing them dudes was easy" lol.

conculsion your getting better at animating with every flash that you submit i hope you'll keep up with it more, and make much more long lasting action.

have your well earned 10/10 for your hard work:)

nggangsterpimp responds:

ever single one of your long well written reviews that pay attention to every detail of the movie mean so much to me. thank you for noticing the improvement on the blood. yeah the elevator scene blood was corny as hell. and yeah im gettin some smoother walking up around in my madness flashes. and yeah the voice. i did that voiceing myself. lawlz. and omg thank you so much for that ten. it means so much becuase i put hard work on this flash. it has exactly 40 layers. thank you garefield. :D
