Coop's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness #4565210]

Was it really that long ago...

...that the Chicago Bears won something? Damn, that's gotta blow :P

The animation style reminds me of a 'childish' version of Madness. You've made it from the kick-arse concept that it was to a light hearted version, which for me detracts from the true meaning of madness.

Was it really that long ago that the NES was popular? How many game systems have we seen since then? *Counts SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii* anyway, back to the review...

I like the idea that the madness guy was being filmed for his everyday life, but I couldn't understand a few key pieces - 1) why he dissapeared out of shot in front of the TV, so all we could see were his legs. 2) Why he never batted an eyelid (metaphorically, as Madness characters don't have eyes, much less eyelids) when the guy on the other side of the street was gunned down (Not enough blood there either)

Good job, worthy of madness day though.

It wasn't the Chicago Bears it was The University of California bears.

Yep.

Along time ago.

1) He jumped for joy and got his head stuck in the ceiling.
2) What do you mean "batted an eyelid"?

Thanks for the review.

[Phoenix Maybe Not]

Alright

The same game, but another different set of soundbites. I can't give marks for originality, but I can give marks for style - the lip-sync was done to a tee and the sound was of the highest quality.

Seeing the Read a Book part, I'd suggest that you just went the full 9 yards and gave us a Phoenix Wrong Music video. That would be pretty damn impressive and it would be original, as I've never seen one of those before. So long as it's not a shite tune, you'll be on to a winner with me :)

WanderingOtaku responds:

Yeah, not expecting originality on this. Really not expecting any votes. Just wanted to share with everyone.

A full music video wouldn't work for me. The shorter skits are easy to do, and not so daunting. But as I said to another reviewer, I wont be making another Phoenix Wrong. I did it for fun, and hopefully more people enjoy it.

[Madness - Preloaded]

Awesome

This movie is something I never considered for a theme of a flash. Stealing part of the preloader is a neat idea (plus you made a half-decent pun out of a certain Matrix Sequel :P)

The graphics are the closest to Madness that I've seen through all of the Madness Day Festivities (To my knowledge, Krinkels didn't submit one himself :P) They flowed just the same as the real thing, but with the added bonus of camera angles, which you don't tend to get so much with the originals - more the panoramic side-scroller.

To be honest, I could see a sequel to this, where other people try to steal the button, or better preloaders are made etc. You know it makles sense, as you left the zombies out :P

[Madness: Newgrounds]

Wow.

That's a concept I've never envisaged before. It has certainly left me thinking of ways to take this further :)

How about something like Retarded Animal Babies? You'd be able to kill Bunny, but with the Madness flair - wouldn't that be awesome?

I think that not only has this accomplished the tribute to Madness, it's also done other great newgrounds items - Alien Hominid, Brackenwood and Weebl & Bob. Ok, so you didn't really animate Weebl in his own style, but the message was clear enough.

This has so much potential, see you on Madness day 2008, by which point, I'll be expecting part 2 of this!

[Madness Mutilation]

Needs concluding urgently!

Well, aside from the shortness of this flash, it's actually really good. I'd really like to see what happens with out Doctor Robotnik lookalike and Hank.

Although the movements weren't as fluid and your Hank seems to turn around to face all of his foes, it does work, but hopefully there are a couple of ideas to work to for the climactic ending :P
