IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Krin Assasin]

I am the Saviour!

I don't get this very often and I always review when I do- so its a bit embarrassing, since I only voted 2/5.
However, let me tell you my thoughts.
I have seen an awful lot of these Madness type things and I think we are all fed up with them. You now have the chance to make the sequel and get it protected- most sequels do. PLEASE make it original. Somehow give the characters some personality.
Zoom in and show a close-up, show thoughts or something.
Take your time on backgrounds and maybe even put in some subtle humour.
Its OK, but now is your chance to make something GOOD. Remember, if you make a series everyone will look back on this one so take the reviews and make this one better as well.
Look at the timing of the action in this one. I understand that the final fight scene was slo-mo but this think about having people just stand and be shot is so crap. at least show a little movement in them- raising thier guns- taking aim maybe shooting and missing.
Best wishes,
Ice

[The Limit Collab]

Like most collabs...

the few scraps of talent were lost in the dross.

the duck thing was almost up to keeping.

I do have a sense of humour and I think it was a fun idea, but please don't keep doing this. 5 frames @ 120 lol.

[X/ Battle Alpha]

Please do finish this

At least bring it to a neat end at 90 seconds or something

It sgood stuff. I saw a lot of characters I know in there!

I don't suppose it was meant to have any kind of story, was it?

The quality button in the corner spoilt the movie rather- please tone it down or something.

[Dailytoon #252]

Messy, unfinished.

Why do the SS want to submit something which actually SAYS it isn't finished?
The creature at the end just stands still while the voice carries on talking incomprehensible crap.

This does not deserve to get through judgement-
-backgrounds
-sound quality
-graphics
but thanks to the SS it might.
As I have said before, I admire your effort, but I don't see the point.
Having said all that, it wasn't the same without a Dailytoon to ignore!
Best wishes anyway!

[Captain Suctions Ep. 1]

Fantastic Art, but not much of a Flash

Its OK but not yet great.

Its got great visual characters- you could make so much of this. It could be a NewGrounds hit.

These guys could be so funny with a bit of character developed in them.

I can hardly put my finger on when to go with this, but please do work on it. Brainstom woth your frineds, get as much feedback as you can.
As it is it doesn't have real story and timing of the movement is dull, but go for it.

Chizem responds:

I promise you that i will make more and they will be better than this, because i will have more time, thanks.

[Homage To Catalonia]

Quite good, got potential

+good animation
+OK graphics
+Good story
+funny

-needs explanation- intro or info button afterwards eg. why wee these people in this position- not supposed to kill each other- who were they supposed to kill. Also , what does the titile mean? If this is quoted from a book or somehting you need to say so.
-sound levels need tweeking, esp the commi coming up the hill.

-Replay button and full credits, with music would make it into a full movie.

A scene zooming in for a close-up on one of the groups would be very good. It seems ambitious, but its the next level of animation and story telling and would guarentee a higher score.

this is good material, please work on it- then do more!

[The Holy Defender [1]]

good stuff.

Please make the other two longer. this one is OK for a start but we didn't really have time to get into it.

Looking forward a good bit of story. Please make sure it has some originality.
Put in some background sounds-
As you write the story it should have quite moments to contrast the action and drama. If you think about it all the good stories from Lord of the Rings through Star Wars -everything- all have a break in them. The hero rests somewhere with a bit of tranquil music, scenery and birdsong or something.
Also, if you have the patience to aim for a top class story, try to develop a couple of characters. Maybe see the court back home discussing what is happening- what if the warrior never returns- this makes the audience care more about the consequence and feel involved.
Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with this intro part as it is. I just want to encourage you to make it the best that you can.

CrimsonGenesis responds:

thank you for the review. the reason this one was short was because the deadline slaped us in the face lol. then next two will have more detail and scenery and stuff.

[Calamity's Adventure P.1]

Quite good, then you annoyed me.

speakonia stuff and characters that bounce without flexing, just to save real animation don't impress me all that much, but it had potential. The glimmer of a good story etc.
Then I got sutck in this loop with a lilac coloured corner going up the hill.

If you had just run up the hill a while, then faded to CREDITS I might have protected it.
The song should be properly credited, both in the Flash and with the proper BUY button before it.

Pawesome responds:

I seem to care so much that my movie is getting a better rating than both "movies" you've ever made. HAHAHAHHAHAHABHAHBHAHAHADHABS HJABHS

[Steve Irwin Tribute-PP]

One of the better ones.

Same old pictures we have been seeing for days, mostly, but a better choice of music than most, in my oppinion. Nice choice of font and I like the smoothly expanding letters at the end.

Its all in the detail.

Popesture responds:

Thank you

[eg]

enjoyable

i was thinking I would just about protect this crappy stick thing with no background cos it was quite well animated, then It carried on into some detail (5/10). Then you did that thing throwing through the layers and that was it- 6/10!

does that say mama bird at the end? Whatever it is it flashes by too quick.
Personally, i would prefer it with sounds- just a few sounds at key moments.
smash, smash, smash through the layers would be veyr good and add more emphasis.
A selection of different tweets etc for ther bird would be funny.
The final deep, powerful noise for the big bird would add to it all.
I know you can't please everyone and some people would prefer it as it is- just a thought.
Random, pale backgrounds might look good. something simple that doesn't intrude into the action too much.
It was interesting and showed ability
