IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Happy Halloween 2006]

Yes, skill

+good art. Liked the 3d details
+OK animation
+good sound
+liked the doorbell

-Too early. I can see that this is a pre H intro thing, but its still too early. If you are not happy with the score and get enough good ideas, you might even consider a full overhaul and resub closer to the date- However it IS good as it is.

Art-by-Andy responds:

Too early!!! Halloween starts October 1st around here. Actually, before that. Our Halloween decor (interior & exterior) is already on display by the 1st. Thanks for the comments on the art. I work the hardest on that. The animation is just my style. I like keeping it simple. Simple can be attractive if done right. Thanks again!

[Yoshi's Island Gone Wrong]

Not bad for sprite stuff

It had a sort of purpose and story and some fun random.

I don't understand most of it because I don't know the characters and situations very well, but I recognise effort and some ability in this.
I look forward to future, non sprite stuff from you.

[Frihken 3: Persistance]

Very good

+ got some story- ive just been back to watch the other two for the first time!
+ some good images and closups. I like the eyes and expressions
+ I like dthe moment he looks and his damaged hands and feels anger.
+I prefer your style to Krinkels' Madness
+Glad you gave him the credit he deserves
-Please put in Hit areas behind your buttons, its naff and lazy having buttons that only click on the actual letters of the word
-as you improve you need to make sure that you keep working us much as you can on your older work as new people will keep going back and seeing them. At present I don't think the older ones are quite up to the standard of the newer one's
-The storyline needs some quiet time, to contrast with the action. That one piece before he entered the building in 2 was so good.
-try not to have guards just stand there stupidly.

I look forward to the rest of the story.
Best wishes, Ice Dragon of the Dragons & Spirits

[Square Head]

No it wasn't pointless!

short and funny- it was exactly as you described it and in a very sick way it made me laugh.
The animation was everything it needed to be and the art was OK.
The voice acting was fine and the sound was clear.
I would make the music slightly quieter, personallym although there was nothing wrong with it.

It would be nice if you put in a background- a park, a playground, whatever.

I thought there was a couple of levels of humour there- I mean, the opening question - are you...? as if there was any doubt!
and Dodgeball...as if!
then the legs waggling in the air!

Rybry responds:

thanks for the feedback

[Oh Noes!1!]

I know effort & talent when I see it

Personally, I don't think this is quite my thing. I think I would have to know more about the bits and pieces it presumably parodies to fully appreciate it.
However, it has length, detail, story, random, good voice acting, buttons, good extras and detailed credits.
You do love that 3D bus turning scene, don't you?
was Arthur doing his voice acting down the phone?
The standard of animation and art is very variable, which is kinda funny, to a point, but lets down the overall score.

[Bad Guys In Space]

Good, funny

Language a bit strong for my personal taste, but its all good.

I note that you did it all yourself, which is very good.

I will check out more of this series.

Ice

[mythos medly]

Nice stuff.

I look forward to v2.

I don't like the music, but thats just a personal taste thing. I liked all the images. Naturally, as a Dragon/Spirit I am biased. sorry I was a bit harsh on the other thing, I do look forward to v2.
Do, please take your time and make it the best you can.
If you care to pm me ( I will forget) when v2 is out I will give them both a detailed review and let the other Dragons & Spirits know.
Best wishes,
Ice

heather-lanham responds:

v.2 will have classical or misc. music, and thanks for the reveiw,

(I'm partial to electricity myself)

I'll PM you when v.2 comes out.

[dream-dragons v2.2!]

It has potential but...

please use the alpha for test submissions.

heather-lanham responds:

alpha? I thought this is a decent flash, so I thought I would post it, and then update the file to v.2 when v.2 is done. v.2's release date has been bumped up, and hopefully I'll be able to post it today.

[heavy metal poety [sic]]

Very good

+entertaining
+beautiful naration, its very hard work to get it just right.
+loved the humorous observation of the spelling etc.

-I thought the penises (peni?) were unneccsary and spoilt it. The actions meant that it is NOT what I consider suitable for all audiences. If I had seen some of it, then shown it to my mum I would be a very unhappy bunny- take my point?
-The buttons were pointless, there were no stops, so I went the first one and it played all through.

[Adolf Hitler: ATWI80D 56]

I apologise for insulting you guys yesterday.

You were right to pull me up on it. I am an experienced reviewer with a reputation- fair enough.
To those out there who insult or use foul language in reviews- DON'T.
People who want to review should read the rules for submission so they know what Tom considers acceptable first.
This series has animation, it has a little thought and design and a simple form of humour. Its not my taste and I throw away my protect points occasionally, by voting it down- but thats MY TASTE This site started with images of clubbing seals to death so we must keep things in perspective.
If it is true that people are really offended by these images, they need to blame the stat whores for protecting it every day. It only gets though because people believe it will-
It is a very simple and limited movie, but, as I have said before, I've seen much worse.
I have seen no evidence that the authors seek to glorify Hitler, they have clearly lampooned him.
nuf said- Ice

AfroUnderscoreStud responds:

The deal with people being offended by this series is this.

At first a bunch of people decided they wouldn't watch it, but would review anyway. They just looked at the title and assumed it was Hitler going around gassing people in the country he's visiting. I then informed them that, that was nothing like the content at all, but they kept saying it was for some unknown reason. A few of them eventually caught on that Hitler was holding items, due to them reading others reviews, so they mentioned that in their reviews so that it would appear that they had watched the Flash. The fact that they mentioned Hitler holding items gave them a new idea. So from then one they started claiming it glorified Hitler.

Eventually I managed to persuade a few of these people to actually watch the Flashes. A few apologized, but most decided to continue to pretend it was what they falsely claimed it was, due to the fact that they were too stubborn to admit that they were wrong.

Then someone decided to make a Flash which was nothing but pictures of dead Jews, it was deleted due to it being offensive without reason, and the fact that it stole this series' title.

This guy then put his Flash up on his deviantart, and showed it to all the haters of this series.

When this series returned, the haters realised they had lost, and would need more to stand a chance of stopping this series. So they showed friends and random people the Flash containing loads of pictures of dead Jews, but they told these people that I made that Flash, and that each episode in this series was nothing but that, with a few minor changes.

Some of the people shown that video were so disgusted by it, that they just took the word of the person that showed them it, and didn't bother watching this series to see if they were being told the truth or not.

I think that's the whole story of why people say this glorifys Hitler and is racist, when it does/is neither.
