IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[ZAMN (PFM)]

Ok sprite thing

You could explain some of it for those of us who have not seen ZAMN. A little intro would not be that hard. It would make a lot more sense, I think.

[S vs N full]

borderline protect

It was like watching someone else play a game, not like watching a movie. I didnt know who the characcters were and I still dont. It didnt make me feel that I wanted to either.
I see this as a moive made by and for only those people already in the know.
I don't know much about sprites, but it would appear that there was not all that much original work in this.
However, as it did work and it looked OK and I suppose that people who like this kind of thing might want to see this on NG I reluctant ly protected it.
Really it should have some kind of intro, explanation, story end etc.
go into the last frame of any layer and type Esc with S and T and you get a stop.

Its my first flash, i dont knowe make too much ^^U
Thx for your opinion

[Halloween short]

Shorts don't need preloaders

although personally I would use one these days because
a people expect one these days
b its easy to down load the NG one
c admin likes us to use the NG one, especially their special day one. like the Halloween one- it identifies it as an NG sub.

Replay not reply, thats a different word.

put in a rectangular hit area in your buttons otherwise people click on the button area and miss the text and it doesnt work. PM me if you have any difficulty.
Best wishes,
Ice

[-Lone- (Part 1)]

Good

+Some excellant graphics, including the reflection o f the blood and the eyes. I got the feeling you were trying out techniques. it worked!
+this gives me alot more confidence in your ability to do Brackenwood, it has some of your best work yet in it.
+Music OK but I would prefer sounds as well
+Interact good but scene select pretentious on something so small
- As for the story, it isn't the greatest- its so familiar on NG to have a hero fighting guys who mostly just stand there waiting to be sliced up.
+ However, it has potential. if you are serious about this project do tell me what you had in mind and I will give you my thoughts.
Best Wishes,
Ice

Jimtopia responds:

Cool, thx for your review, I do intend on deepening the story, don't worry about that. Anyway, thx again.

[halloween 06 short]

Intro thing very good

The rest was not so great and I didn't really understand it- if there was anything to understand. Yeah, its cool. has a bit of atmosphere.

[A Cure In Death]

OK poem

Not bad, good warning message. English a little dodgy, but OK. suitable music and image, credits, replay, yeah its OK

[The alternate lockmension]

Good

Nice little idea. I think he could do more- he could go again or try pressing other buttons. Yes, this could be a little series.

spell: staring/starring

an Ock with HANDS! Nice one!

EraserLock responds:

That´s a good idea. I night do that... who know what will happen...
Thanks for the review :)

[Drunken: Kebob Parts]

borderline

Collabs or always difficult to vote/review and this was a real challenge. Most of it is just scribly stuff but it was a bit funny. I would say no 5 was the best and just carried it into protect.
It was generally better than most multi-movie collabs, not relying on things like scribbled blood and pathetic sex scenes to try and carry it through. It generally had a reasonably sound.
Best wishes for your NoobDay from the Dragons & Spirits

DrunkAlien responds:

Hehe. Happy n00bday. Even though it's over. :P

[Clay Animation V Animator]

It was OK

I don't like most claymation cos they are usually too dark, to short, to much like each other and too crappy. This is I reasonable attempt at expressing A v A in claymation form.
You captured the idea of the animator trying repeated attempts to destroy the animation and the sight was a good idea.
I didn't understand the dark character at the end and I think that spoilt it.
I dont know why claymators don't use sounds- if you did this would be SO much better. Please seriously consider doing that to this, preferably removing the music, to be more like the original.
Please DO work on this, dont just leave it whether it gets through or not- its a good idea and its worth working on. Study the original over and over again and write notes on how you can make a detailed, funny parody of it. Make it more like a flash movie instead of a claymation with a white background instead of whatever happens to be in the room extend it a bit- AvA is quite long- put in scene select- ask the author if there is anything he would like you to try, then do proper credits.
