[Madness (preview) Remake]

Continue if you like

Just remember what makes the Madness movies so good. You might want to work on that speech, it was very unclear. The preview is OK and the final movie shouldn't be too bad.

[Madness Avenger]

Christ! Best Madness ever!

You've really pulled the stops out with this one - this is the best Madness movie you've done, easily. No different to the previous two, this takes excessive violence to the limits and then pushes it over. I can't believe you killed the jesus guy though! What's with that? Anyway, this is absolutely fantastic in every respect, and it could only have been better if you'd have got in more deaths. But 90 is a nice number anyway!

[Death-Duel No.2]

Nice sword fight

I didn't see the first one so I can't compare, but this looked OK. The background music worked well and the animation was good. Some nice ideas with the different attacks and effects. The problem I had was the movie wasn't going anywhere, it had no sense of direction. If some people were fighting with the swords or something it would have been better. It's alright at the moment, but I'm sure you can make it better!

Cypher responds:

Thankyou. Characters will be coming soon.

[StickFight v 1.1]

Stick fight... again...

I've seen many, many, many stick fights, and this wasn't a very good one. It's longer than many, but it's been done better so many times. When the best thing about it is the background music, it's a bit worrying. And finishing the stick off by shooting it isn't a good idea.

[Bruce Lee 2 : C64]

Nice sequel

I enjoyed the first one, this one is as good if not better. Funny C64 style fights, well animated with good sounds. I really liked the one bit where Bruce takes down the last ninja at the end, the kick was very Johnny Cage-esque. Outtakes were good but they were similar to each other. Make a third!

[Kill the family]

Nice short

Works well - good sound loop in the background, simple but effective graphics and some excessive and slightly unexpected violence. Could have done with being slightly longer but the simplicity of this is the best feature.

[Format and J3nnica say hi]

It's alright I suppose

I didn't think this was anything better than average - it was too short, and the graphics and sounds weren't great. But hey, it's OK for a quick laugh and it's not doing much harm, so I'll give it 5.

MetaphorcE responds:

what do you mean the graphics weren't great? and how could the sounds not be great? awww man...
All I'm saying is... if you are going to say stuff like that, tell me how I could improve on each aspect.

And shortness should not be an issue. Read wade's comments on this weeks turd of the week.

Oh well, thanx for your review :D

[Titaniuman - Preview]

Hard to comment

It's only a preview, and it's always difficult to comment fairly on previews, but you say it won't be finished. Seems a bit random - individual scenes put together which look alright but there's no apparent link between them. I'm sure the finished movie would have made sense, but this preview isn't that great.

[Meth Man]

Confusing

I didn't get it really - it was too short, didn't really have any substance to it, and while the individual elements of the flash were alright, I didn't enjoy it. Other people's mileage may vary. Music could have been louder.
