IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Drano]

Good

Art 5/10
animation 5/10
Idea good
voices OK

I wd give it 5/10 but I liked the talking bottle so its 6/10 and 3/5!

[Brain Hanging Upside Down]

Ok, kinda fun

A mixed bunch, of course. A lot of it seemed pretty meaningless, but some of it was fun/funny/interesting. You might just pop the name and writer of the credits music in. I pretty sure its "In the Mood" which was an old ragtime tune from the big bands of the thirties- I can almost remember the name of the band...but not quite!

[Disaster Warning]

looks good but...

far too fast movement. Is this intended as funny, or a fantasy moment or a statement of believed facts?
Whatever it is the movie largley fails because this is not clear.
If it is intended to be factual, you need to quiote your source, preferably with some detail about how these conclusions were reached.
As an amateur astronomer, I know something about this submjext and I personaly don't beleive it at all.
My instinc was to bl@m it, but I thought the graphics looked good and despite its lack of style and, to my mind, good content it would be OK for it to stay. I hope, though, whether it gets through this time or not, you will work on it- it has potential

djstaz0ne responds:

If you know anything about the laws of gravity, you should know what happens when the outer planets align with earth. this is based not only on astronomical cycles, but also on geological evidence. It happened before, and it will happen again. I am not here to prove anything to you... Do your own research. You may be an amateur astronomer, but i am a novice.

I agree with you that it's too short and too fast, but when you get hit by the flood, i will have the last laugh.

[Tribute to Cdn. Soldiers]

What to say?

I am writing a review cos you asked for one at the Review Club.
This is primarily a Flash site and Tom specifically asks us NOT to submit slideshows without animation in the submission notes.

Try to put yourself in the shoes of the outside world here. Mostly no-one wants to be mean to someone making a respectable, heart felt tribute, but you wanted a review and the RC contains mostly honest reviewers:
After the first six or so photo's, realising they are mostly all the same it was totally boring.
One flag drapped coffin looks much like another to me.
For this to have any real interest it would have to have some info with it. to do well in my books it would have to do something more than show photos anyone could collect together.

Having said all that, theres nothing wrong with it as a tribute slideshow- nice pics; nice, apt music; nice timing, but too long.
Am I making any sense here? I really don't want to come across as mean.
We get slideshow tributes all the time, after every major incident in the world.
I don't much like the photo with the prisoner in it. Even with his back to us I don't think its very cool on an international site.
Try to imagine this was made by someone about the Iranian army or something and you were asked to review it. Then you might get me better.
Best Wishes,
Ice

[You are a F*cking Moron1]

actually...

This episode hardly shows Jessica to be a moron at all. compared to other episodes and other submissions here, this is rather limited. Only the style and voice are really that great.

[YAAFM 13: Pres. Bush 2]

I must not be biassed...

I wont give this 10 for everything... as my heart tells me to. After all, its not that interactive!
Its great. In all the criticism of Bush, I don't believe I've ever heard it spelt out that clearly. Well done!
Maybe some direct reference to guantanamo bay would be good.

[Misheard lyrics of song..]

Not the greatest misheard, but...

Funny!

Most of the misheards didn't sound like what you said, but the collection of pictures you chose made up for it with humour.
the final picture is just incredible. they look like two children caught fighting and looking guilty! the action shot of the spit flying out of the dogs mouth as the cat kicks out is stunning.
A lot of good work went into collecting pictures for your interpretation.
Ironically, the sound quality is not bad, its good, so we can hear too clearly what is really being said. maybe what it needs it POORER sound quality, which, by compression, would improve the file size?!?!?!

Flashmovieboy responds:

Thanks for criticsism! :D
Yes that last pic was funny, i found it and i tought maybe i can use it somehow!
Sound quality was actually better before, but i needed to get rid of filesize and i streamed it. Poorer sound quality? But then u can't hear da song! :D

[Druglord X (Part 1)]

Very good

Generally I don't watch claymation cos its poorly lit crap and this is a Flash site anyway. there are just a few that are worth it and this is one of them.
Its got everything a claymation film could have-the story is good the effects are superb, the high speed action, the guys that get sliced up and fall apart, the wierd random humour and actually, although the sound quality of the voices isn't great, the voices themselves are fine.
Tidy up the typing in your notes, everything else is fine.
I do believe this is the highest score I've ever given a claymation and l look forward to seeing more of this.

[Puppets In The Park I]

Random story demolition!

Funny. Looked good. do more.

Should have proper end and replay.

[Pube Grover Chronicles]

Has potential to be OK

However, personally I don't think there was enough of it to stand alone as an episode.
they've just met, theres no explanation, no real humour and nothing has actually happened yet.
the graphics were nothign to write home about, but if something humourous actually happened, that wouldn't matter. So far, the idea that these two characters take on the two bodies behind them is all it really has. That looked OK, but I would say it wasn't ready to submit yet.
Sorry

Rabid-Tux responds:

That's a rather harsh overall for something that from what it sounds like, mediocre.
