MurcurySword's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The death (parca 2nd ver)]

Wow, yet another trailer that's just like the rest

The song is so overused, and I'm loath these kinds of trailers. Unorfreakiniginal. Work harder, make the cartoon with a soundtrack that hasn't been used 500 times in the last week.

zetrazed responds:

Well thanx for the advise, so I changed the music and aded a thing afther the credits, so also changed the preloader.
Thanx for the advise

[Battle of Light:ep 1]

The Formula

It seems to me that a hoard of entries are coming out of the portal these days, that look just like this one. I've seen the Requiem music in tons or crappy flashes and trailers that usually have no point to them.
This movies no different. The graphics a better and it looks cool, but if you actually think for a moment, you'll notice this is a totally lame movie and follows a formula.
Formula:
(0<1 naked girls)+serious slow dark introX1 man running/some kind of satanic cult+the guy saving the one or more naked girls=a good movie.
Yeah, well after seeing 30 of these I get pretty sick of them. This is nothing new and is beyond lame. I mean if the guy needed to stop the guy from making the sacrific, why did he just stand there for 60 seconds while the cammera panned around him? Doesn't he have naked girls to save? And if the guy used the I-have-to-stop-this-blade-with-my-hands trick, why was there no blood? And the chick. She could get up at any time? What is this?!
Be more original, because you definitly have talent as an animator.

nbh responds:

shut the fuck up idiot. you should be banned. you suck. ass.

['The Death Of B']

.......

*silence*

Note on ground:
"Review: it was good, music really set the mood... I don't like RAafs;f....rasoreor... razoRRRSSSSS@!!@!@#${#$ADSf *illegible*"

MuDDviLLe responds:

Razors hurt...

[Crawling (Demo)]

Good Job.

Yes, this is a good piece of work, the sound is clear and the video is clear. The thing is though I'm sick of seeing these on Newgrounds. There's 5 or more sites dedicated to DBZ music videos. The idea is unoriginal, and therefore has no style. If you did infact make this video, and not just find a video and import it into Flash as an AVI, my compliments.

Ghwar responds:

I do respect and understand your opinion, and thanks for the compliments too.

[Evolution of the Squid]

That's... pretty freakin' creepy

First boats, then the world... scary consept, especially when they just discovered that ultra-big strand of squids that live down near antartica.
Great job if this is your first animation. Too bad I didn't have a camp to go to, because it seems it deffinitly paid off in your case.

DarkDays responds:

Well, I didn't learn that much from camp, but thanx anyway. :)

[The Jesunator *UPDATED*]

Jesus Christ!

Well I've... never seen him like that before.
Instead of trancing around the formalities I'm just going to say I really didn't find that amusing. Jesus being the terminator is a cool idea. Jesus with an AK is fucking weird and out of place (to me atleast). And he wasn't even the terminator, he was T-1000, you know... the terminator that technicaly can't time travel?. (Don't get me started) Go for the T-800 style, that'll work. I dislike trailers, but I do look worward to the actual movie. I'm assuming it will be longer and cooler than this trailer.

PS: Speaking what Jesus would use... I'd assume that he'd go around with what ever sharp object he could find and use all those detailed files on human anatomy to kill people.

Anti-Warhead responds:

Im not even going to try and understand this...

[Freddyvsjason Preview 2]

Remind me

why are they fighting again?

Peter-g responds:

Theyre fighting because freddy wanted jason to kill for him cause nobody in springwood was scared of freddy anymore , so freddy tricks jason by prerending that he's pamela voorhees and tells jason to go springwood and kill the springwood kids , although by now jason is well known and now people have forgotten freddy even more and freddy is pissed because jasons stealing his thunder , so he wants to kill jason . to bad jasons gonna KICK HIS ASS !!

[The old TN episode 4]

mixed bag

I was about to just exit the movie after the Jewish Panda stuff, but I'm glad I didn't. Other than that I find the jew stuff old, this movie rocked. Dun dundun DUN! That made my day. The whole desert crisis dream ruled, as did the punching of girls who turned Eric down.

Tomorrows-Nobody responds:

I find misspelling Mercury in people's Aliases pretty old.. but Im glad you liked Eric getting turned down.. I know I did

[Evil Dead II -- episode 1]

Whoa whoa whoa

Right, I was very sure I reviewed this some time ago... anyways.

Evil Dead II was by far the best Evil Dead, Army of Darkness was a different kind of movie, but still kicked ass.

This animation rocks, its like summing up everything you needed to know about Evil Dead and packaged it to you for free... wait, it was for free...

The graphics are fine, this animation WOULD suck IF there were voices, and that sound where they switch scenes, nice, very nice.

Keep up the good work and I hope you rest easy knowing a beyond-obsessed fan of Evil Dead enjoys your work.

cocklesby responds:

why thank you, I have rested a bit easier since reading your review.

[Newgrounds The Movie]

Can you say... Clerks?

Well, all most of those reviews were directly taken from Kevin Smith's never-air-cartoon, Clerks. I was waiting for:
"Shit, pure Shit." -Tom's Mother
...to show up because this got so predictable...
Then it got more original, hence, more funny...
But man, you so blew it when you used Tyler Durden's disclaimer from the "Fight Club" DVD...
"...If you are reading this, you are wasting your life..."?
I can't belive that this didn't get blammed. However, I give you mad props for making fun of trailers, NG merchandise, and yes, people who are at the movies instead of being at home watching the "Mothman Prophecies" should go to hell...

BTW: I gave it a 3, just because I love the scene "Night Jobs" in "Fight Club"

One more thing: You're funny, just don't make it so obvious where you get your insparation from...

mmark-oldflash responds:

I knew about Clerks, but the Fight Club thing??? I didn't realize. Thanks for pointing that out though.
