IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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Yes I know, I had originally made a wadegrounds.com, but the dude who looks like a terrorist wouldn't let me look at the monitor.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]

Very funny!

+Good graphics
+very good voice acting

[Kingdumb hearts 2 part 1]

Very good

+Funny. Excellant parody. Usualy I know nothing about the games and stuff that get parodied on NG but KH I know!
+Good art
+reasonable animation, basic but funny
+excellant voice acting from all the cast!

-something went wrong with a lot of the text, there are a lot of incomplete words, which spoils the overall quality.
-spelling/grammar etc could use a bit of attention. If you want me to go through it let me know.
Best wishes,

PS We love Kyrie!

RogerregoRRoger responds:

glad you liked it in general.
i never pay attention to subtitles, they're to support the movie, not part of the art. Grammar freaks are scary.

Who's kyrie? Kairie?

[Zelda: Gorons Need Liquor]

one of these 'you have to know it' things

Its OK. I did find it a bit funny, but I've never heard of the characters/game. If you want to improve your score you need to reach out to us a bit. Maybe give us a little intro or something.
Obviously, I understand the basic idea and I liked the deleted scene explanation. As a flash author myself I appreciate a bit of background.
Best wishes,

TX2 responds:

I have taken for granted how well known nintendo games are among the most of the newgrounds populous. I'll try to keep that in mind.
Any way thanks for the review.

[LL - Hotel California]

Good

I enjoyed it
+good animation
+good art
+good interpretation
+generally good, smooth colaboration
-some of the authors towards the end were not tothe same standard, but Im sure they did their best.
-Didn't understand what Banana lock as a tramp had to do with the rest.
-Didn't like Strawberry clock being knifed, it seemed unnecesary and cheap in this otherwise mystical and atmospheric piece.

Best wishes,
IceDragon of the Dragons & Spirits

[LL- Lemon Tree Collab]

Very good

+Art good
+animation good
+music fine, but no other sound
+interpretation good, entertaining
+collaboration good- nobody let you down and seemlessly put together.
I asked Dark Boo Lock to recommend me some good LL movies to show the D & S what you guys can do- he said this one.
-you might make the earth look a little fuzzy- it has an atomsphere you would see from space.
-you might make the sky blue get slightly lighter downwards toward the horizon, it looks more real and matches the quality of your other shadings.
-tiny errors in the credits:
infact/in fact
sexuall/sexual

Best wishes,

JujubeLock responds:

I'll pass that along.
