Ellvis's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[NIUCLIUM: failed_exfiltration]

Man, every year you are overcoming your past works in term of absolute quality. This madnessday is filled with many movies that feel like real cinema.
Good job Jeremotas.

jeremotas responds:

Yooooo, really excited that you commented my stuff, i used to watch ur stuff when i was a lil kid, thank you brooo!

[Incident:064S]

Sometimes things don´t go as planned.

Zapchon responds:

Rare Ellvis sighting

[MADNESS:Project Nexus ANIMATED]

Great collab. A little bit long but it doesn´t get boring. Action is interesting to watch. Nice soundwork too. All of members did great job.

GabrielBarsch responds:

hey ellvis, long time no see

[MADNESS | THE POINT]

I am amazed how realistic this feels. I like how you made protagonist vulnerable. How every enemy can make serious damage. I like how he is not like trained supersoldier but he is smart. I like how you make combat minimalistic with every enemy. Not like one guy kill hundreds of enemies like it was nothing. Like in my movies tbh. More of movies like this.

Shadz64 responds:

its surprising hearing this from one of my fave animators ever dude! im glad you liked it and even enjoyed the fact it was more minimalist over hundreds being killed

[Operation: District 14]

I really like how stylish nad cinematic this animation is. It is really hard to make madness movie cinematic and action. I am able to feel the atmosphere of this movie. Good job.

jeremotas responds:

Hey!, ty very much brooo, rreally nice to see one of the animators i used to watch as a kid liking me stuff, ty !!!

[Madness Whitehank Zero: The Mulligan]

I am sorry but I must say this. This was big dissappointment for me. I like this series but....
Where to start. This is mess. Random mess. Dont take me wrong. All animators made amazing job. Animation is fluid. Action is nice. But It was way too long and way too random. Sometimes I was completely confused. "Wtf is goin on" these words I was saying whole time. So is this prequel or sequel. If it is prequel. Than why there is damaged Wank from Wank2 in 1/4 movie? Wtf is that Neo Wank. Wtf is that doctor doing. And how Wank died 3 times in this movie and than is alive again. How did he get those teleport and telekinesis power. How agents can teleport too in the begining of movie. It just looks like a random collab with no leading plot or story or sense. But with White Hank as protagonist. It looks like this collab has 4 completely different stories with Wank as protagonist. That is the first thing. Another one is lenght. Many times I was telling you Kryy. That sometimes "less" is "more". After 20 minute of this confusion I didnt want to watch more. I was frustrated and confused. But I watched. I watched this thing at one step. And I was frustrated more and more. I think 20 minutes is enough for something like this. Bigger lenght is dismotivating to watch. Mainly when this thing became way too random. I was really hyped to see this but. I wanted to see Sentry's parts, Thece's parts, Kryy's parts and many others. But they were completely lost in this random mess and lenght. I Just couldn't recognize them. And that makes me angry. And thats why I didnt want to be in this collab. Because I knew. I will be lost there too. Only recognizable parts were by Dudingdarn, Gabriel, Vassline, Castavia, Ghost-Kewell (because he has his big name on the wall, without that his parts will be lost too). I didnt want to critize too much or be rude. But you just dont know how mad you made me with this. I was mad at least 2 hours before I calmed down. This collab is professionally animated, frustrating, random a has wasted potential of amazing animators. Every member is amazing animator and I feel your hard work. But if everyone of you put your effort in your own solo with your own OC. It would be much better. Of course there was a few things I like. For example. Two Wanks battle between each other, that pixel part, Moon Journey of pink Hank although It doesnt make any sense, and his skills became overused in a while. And Car chase at ending. Really sorry guys but I cant give you higher Score. Im trying to be professional and objective. But this with Maxification 2 was the biggest dissapointment for me. At this Madness day. I really hope there will not be another White Hank. I really dont want you to poison your reputation.

Thats what MADNESS is

[Madness Powers: Devolution]

Solid movie.
When I was watching this. I was telling myself, that I dont see any connection to original Madness Powers. But it comes in the end. I was watching Madness Powers when I wasn´t animator yet. And it stayed in my memory.
About this movie. You should improve walkings and shaky movements of bodies. Train your fluidity. Enemies had so many chances to kill or hurt main character. You made them look dumb. Just staying, doing nothing. Not even shoot when they could. waiting for death. Let them do some actions. Another thing is that you are not doing melee kills. Only shooting. Make some melee. Otherwise shooting is great made. I see something like John Wick style of shooting. I like idle animations like reloading guns etc. Backgrounds looks nice too. I like that tie use.
It was solid movie but still there are things which you could improve. Work hard and I will look foward to another movie.

KorboDuo responds:

Thanks for advices, i'm glad that you liked it even with some problems. There is more connection between original madness powers in background and papers. About melee...that was a conscious decision cus protagonist like gun-fu kinda guy, im gona add more melee fights in future.

[Abnormis: DEPARTURE]

You amazed me with your skills. Fluid animation. Choreographed action is nice to watch. Good choice of sound effects. Bloody kills. (I like that minigun part and bossfight). Some movements were similar to me. :D I am impressed how much you improved during years. More of this please.

Zapchon responds:

Thanks Ellvis, it really means a lot to hear you say that since your animation style is probably my favourite out of the entire community (Except for Krinkels, obviously)
You can expect a lot more action like this in Madness Liberation when it's done
Your solo project was incredible too btw

[Madness Extradition]

It was actually not bad. I like that action and choreography, I like that usage of gibbs powers. I like backgrounds and effects. But I miss some originality in your animations. It looks like it is animated by Gibb himself. There is nothing to remember you as Burtjack than Gibb No.2. I miss your own style of animation. And second thing. He entered building ----> Killed everyone just for nothing----> Left building. I miss some kind of plot or sense of this. I know you made it as gift. But you have chosen to do a full movie, not short.
