Asophis's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Portal: Batteries.]

Love It!

I watched it. I loved it. I came.

[Awesome Compilation Vol 6]

Ah, Easter Eggs

I never really liked any of your Awesome videos after Awesome the Hedgehog, but that easter egg had to be one of the funniest things you've produced. I lost count of how many times Animal Fat died and came back to life.

[A Canvas And A Struggle]

Hysterical

The giggles started at "Artist's Shit", but by the time I Artsy put the pistol in his mouth and I knew what his intent was, I started puking laughter. It was especially hilarious when the dramatic music started playing. I did like the name, too. It added to the sarcastic humor of the movie. Good work :D

[You can not kill Hank]

This is not Sparta...

THIS IS MADNESS!

Amazing Tricky the Clown interlude, by the way. :D

[Fistful of Madness]

Spaghetteh Western!

Wonderful tribute, not only to Madness, but to Clint Eastwood and the amazing Spaghetti Westerns. What really got me was the Mexican poncho flip in the quick-draw scene. That's exactly what I was thinking to myself. I was like, Oh, my God, if he doesn't flip his poncho over his shoulder this isn't-- OH, MY GOD, HE DID IT!! HUZZAH!" This work is amazing!

[Madness: Deus Ex Machina]

Sigh... Crapola

I dunno, man. One of the great things about Madness was the fact that Hank would always be able to get one step ahead of the extremely unfavorable odds against him. This flash was just about the friggin' clown. Another reason Madness is so wonderful is that the animation is unique, and no two scenes are exactly the same. Just about every scene in your flash was EXACTLY (Notice the caps; this is serious business.) the same. Just a bunch of scenes of the clown ravaging the already dead corpses of the living. All of his moves were recycled, and none of it even made sense. While Madness makes no sense either, it makes sense to a point at the same time. And what was up with the clown anyway? He's not he main character of Madness, and he's not even the coolest. Hank is, by far, the best character in the series. The main thing that I absolutely HATED in this flash was the sound. Traditionally, Madness music is an amazing loop that reaches its peaks during main points of action. Your music, on the other hand, was several terrible techno songs, and a really terrible Japanimation-esque drama loop. Absolutely terrible. That brings me to my final point, being the OBVIOUS OVERTONE OF ANIME FANBOYISM!!1 One of the reasons I loved Madness so much is that it's original. That's right; original. It wasn't based off of another style at all. Krinkels' own doing in it's entirety. I'm not saying that your style was unoriginal in that it copied Krinkels' work, though. It's a tribute, after all, so it should come as close as possible. What annoyed me was the terribly obvious anime hair (I wasn't aware that any sub-characters even HAD hair, let alone a female gender), the HORRIBLY overused sound clip from a cookie-cutter fighting simulator game, the overused jumping sound effects, and the obviously anime-style backgrounds and background colors. In a Madness movie, there are only about four colors that are even used. You used the entire friggin' spectrum!

This movie is a terrible Madness tribute. It does absolutely no justice to the series, and does not deserve the top spot on the Madness Day Winners' list. This movie might've been good on it own... wait, no I take that back. This movie was terrible anyway. The sounds were terrible, the moves repetitive, the colors OBNOXIOUSLY plenty. And the worst of all was the absolute defacing of Hank. Hank doesn't use a complete spin-off of a sword that comes from the retarded anime tradition of using disproportionalized swords that would be impossible to carry in actuality. He uses state-of-the-art weaponry. This flash did COMPLETE injustice to Hank, not only in choice of killing implement, but also to his motives. He and the clown are ENEMIES. I highly doubt that if Hank witnessed the clown being facially raped that he'd do anything to stop it from occurring. This flash is hard on the eyes, ears, and dopamine levels. It sucks.

[TRACER episode 1]

Facial Expressions!

Alright, this flash was absolutely amazing. Nearly everything was flawless, and the traced animations were actually well placed in a realistic flash such as this. The one thing that seemed odd, even though it did add a bit of humor to the occasion, was when the main character ripped the arm off of the doorman. He didn't look as though he put much effort into that at all. XD
