IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[TPS Episode 1]

OK

I've just come back from protecting episode 2. This one is OK as well.

It didn't suffer from the great variety of speech volumes, but the story etc was plainer, being all one scene.

Keep going guys.

what does TPS stand for?

I forgot to mention in Pt 2- thanks for putting in the intro bit to tell us where the story is at. Keep doing that.

[TPS Episode 2]

OK Kingdom Hearts stuff

You guys put in quite a bit of effort. I gave you 3/5 for that (plus I like Kingdom Hearts)
+OK story
+ OK sounds
-limited animation
-Voice acting had very different volumes
Spelling-
Magesty/Majesty Apocalypse dow/ down insodent/incident peasful/peaceful descovered/discovered hid/hide where-ever/wherever recive/receive.

Also, when the mickey mouse thing speaks one of the speech things comes in from the left to right, which is hard to read- your eyes try to read it from the end to the beginning!
Otherwise, good work, work on it!

Best wishes to your team from

[lll_Join NG_lll]

So sort the sound, then!

Its good and the voice is good, its just, as you say, the background is too loud.

It expresses NG very well.

alexsmolik responds:

Thanks man. Glad you rather liked it.

I wish I could sort the sound out, but I have NO idea on how to. It kinda ruins the feeling I wanted to make with the voices. Because if the background wasn't too loud, you could hear that I was taking a very deep voice, like in those comercials/trailers or something. I thought it would be funny, but it kinda jinxs it lol.
Thanks for the review!

[Who Shot StrawberryClock?]

Good work

Very high scoring for a Clock Movie. I don't like the usual round blobs and speakonia style much but of its type its very good with a lot of effort and detail.

I look forward to the sequel

[Lord of the Clocks pt. 1a]

Excellant, this is the best clock series!

NANG!

As a LOTR enthusiast I am very impressed. The parody is superb. the effort and detail is ALL there.

The naration is 100 %. No speakonia- YAY!

This is the ONLY clock material I have EVER seen that I thought was worth over 3/5.
I say 5/5! And that is RARE
speaking on behalf of the Dragons & Spirits, who I KNOW will be impressed-
Thank You!

[London Underground CC]

Nice video

The video adequately expresses an exceptionally entertaining song.

I noticed a few nice touches, such as a working clock.

The song is, sadly, so true.

Personally I would say that it has Excessive bad language, not mild, it has every word there is, some many times!

[Who is Hexjibber (part 2)]

Hi, its me again!

As soon as I saw Pt 2 i jumped to it.
Its funny, its original and its British!
It still sort of scribbly, but the art is improving.

As you ended Pt 1 abruptly, so you started Pt 2 abruptly. I think if you round off Pt 1 as we discussed, then you should introduce Pt 2 a little. Bearing in mind that not everyone will have seen Pt 1, or remember it clearly, it would help.
Otherwise, its fun and funny and a delightful parody of many cartoons. I can just picture Hasbro and McDonalds making the full set of Hexgibber toys!

[Cold as Ice Opening 1]

Weird, but Good

It looked good but you could probably improve some of the graphics.

I suppose it might make sense to me if either I knew about the series or if I knew the language (Japanese?)

I prefer a proper credits page, not just a mention in the notes.

Rule responds:

Thanks for your review. Yes, I have a series, but It isn't too good.

[The Great Dock Crusade]

OK stuff

Some of the graphics were very good. I liked the 3D style angles you put in there, such as the weapons turned toward 'camera'. This is better than most 'Ocks', who use only boring side views.
(Its also better than mine!)
I would have preferred a little more detail in the background- for example as the dock on horseback rides towards camera, you could have him ride past things, so it looks more like rushing movement.
I think I prefer this speech to Speakonia.
Do more.
We were writing a sketch for a future animation, in which we put Socks and Docks for a joke- now I see that reality has caught up with us before we made it!
Regarding your Authors Note- I assure you that Dragons & Spirits vote only on merit- this works both ways- we don't vote badly because someone is an 'Ock' or in any other group, but I threw away dozens of protect points by zeroing a lot of rubbish on clockday yesterday!
Best wishes from IceDragon64 of the Dragons & Spirits

MeMB responds:

Great review. I'll work on the points you mentioned. Best regards from all the Docks.

[Fight in the void]

borderline protect

If other voters are giving this four or five I can only think that they haven't seen much of this
'stickmen fighting with no backgrounds, plot or speech' before.

The fighting action is to quite a good standard although some of it seemed slow.

I will pass it because I like the fact that the figures are dropped in and show a kind of story/interaction other than just fighting; also the bizarre way they lift out from time to time is good.

If you want to persist with stickmen, try the occasional close-ups on faces and exploring glimmers of personality.

RockLou responds:

I am going to use flash from now, and I am going to make a story. This was much like training to me actually. I needed to experiment a little before I go flash.
