IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pandora's Book]

Point?- who cares! it was great

Yay!

what happens next?

Please.

Thank you

[Quest for a Flash]

Good

+As an writer as well as a Flash author I understand this. I liked some of the humourous ideas and details, like the sprite talking only in text and the first time the ball hit him.

The animation wasn't great, but it was OK.

The text was poor. It needs checking through for spelling, grammar etc.
If you want I could go through the whole lot in detail for a tiny mention in the credits!
The sound quality of the voice acting was poor except the girl, who sounded fine. cc's sound quality was the worst. I think the voices were ok, just the quality.
Best wishes,
Ice Dragon64 of the Dragons & Spirits

[Thinking of You]

OK/Good

I thought the song and singing were good, but I didn't like the instrumentation much. It sounded like plonking about with a keyboard to me.

The visuals were OK, not great, but the somehow the fun moment when the stream of guitars crossed space just tipped it from 5/10 2/5 in 6/10 3/51

If its really all your own work then you have good all-round talent. Not many people produce a video for their own songs, and the music too!
However, the singing and writing are better than the rest, so to do just to the singing, take your success today (I assume it will pass judgement) and collaborate. Its good.

[The Kingdom Falls]

Good

I dont like this genre much and I don't like the lack of sounds, but there is a proper story and some good 3D style images in it.
English not too bad but heres a list of small points in the order I found them through the story:
mushroom kingdom/Mushroom Kingdom; heavensa ; pease/please
saftey/safety; bowser/Bowser (often) realy/really; toad/toad
stopto.
You might get better scores if you tell us more in your notes. Then those that don't like sprite type movies etc will be more inclined to avoid it, leaving you with more of the people who like this kind of thing. Personally, I view anything anyway and judge as I see. 6/10 is a good score from me for the genre.

[Men's Wearhouse Volume 1]

Rtils work dragged down by the rest

Rtil produced a destintive, atmospheric story. the grphic style isn't specially my taste, but I recognise talent when I see it and it had a 'film noir' style I admired.
Talyor Bortners started OK but the pointless foul text ruined it for me.
The rest were just a mish-mash of friends getting in on the act or something.
Perhaps if this company was at all familiar to us, it might help the rest of the world to appreciate this.

Starberry responds:

i guess the british dont know anything about looking sharp in suits????

[That's My Fulp 2]

OK, but too slow.

Long pauses make it boring. Just maybe tweek the whole thing by 10% or so.

It would be better if we got a look at WadeGrounds. It would definately make it funnier. Take a look at Wade's flash. A whole row of girlie undresses would get pretty lame after a bit! anything else which might go on in his office to suggest humourously why Wadegrounds would be lame could look good. Maybe autocratic banning and sacking of good people would be Wades traditional humourous image on NG.

MaddFlash2 responds:

Yes I know, I had originally made a wadegrounds.com, but the dude who looks like a terrorist wouldn't let me look at the monitor. sry. Your comments will be used to improve the next one.

[Matrice Angelique]

OK

I disaggree. This is NewGrounds. Provided you give proper credit to people, you can do pretty well what you like. This movie has great potential, with good voice acting. Without it people won't follow things very well and you will geto some repsonses like the last reviewer.
+the graphics are very good
+the music is nice and appropriate.
Best Wishes,
Ice

[HSH intro/preview]

OK

I don't like sprite movies much- unless they show a bit of skill, originality and/or storyline I blam them.
This one has something like that with its song and rough lip sync.

Tom says don't submit tests/previews- use the alpha section. This probably means a lot of people go into this ready to blam it, including me! Although you may not consider it finished, if it has a start/middle/end, which this does, don't call it a preview, just say you are looking to inprove it!
Although as a sort of music video, you don't have to have sound as well as the music, I seriously recommend you get a good thud sound for the bit when the sprite hits the 'camera'
Best Wishes,
Ice

[Navy Recruiting Ad]
