IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nocturne in G Minor]

Ok stuff

Weird- of course!

Some interesting images. It had a bit of class to it.
Nice music, some atmosphere.

I liked the (rare) use of hands in the first scene it added something to the bottles moment of character.

limited animation, sort of story, but didn't make much sense.

Please put in credits.

The Dragon/Spirit Alliance is Ock neutral, we vote/review only on merit.

Silvercherryclock responds:

Proud of it.

Thanks.

It seemed like it would add to the movie if he placed a hand on the altar.

There is a plot to each separate story, but many people just can't decipher movies like this.

There wasn't really a need to. I made everything except the gun and music.

That's better than hating the clock crew, I respect that.

[Another Wario (old)]

weird

It scores points mainly for Randomness. We like Random. However, making whole movies of Randomness was pushing your luck!

Back in those days your work really was messy compared to what we do now, perhaps you feel a bit differently toward the early reviews?
- The pro-Clock message on the preloader and the end were crawling and you know it.
-nobody cares how long you had Flash.
-Tidy up the spelling on the Authors notes that ramble and don't make much sense.
-get your submissions checked for details before submitting them. they are very complex, so you need it.
Remember that the longer a Flash takes to download the more people expect from it.
This Flash would mainly appeal to Mario/Wario people, for the rest of us it rather lacks story, however there is a lot in it.

[Bin Laden's Christmas]

Good stuff!

Well put together and funny. Some choice, well worked out images. Good music etc. well timed.

the animation, such as it is, is well done, but not too ambitious.

Perhaps a few more sound effects may have added to it.

the fianl explosion was not up to much. You could have made it look like the actual house was blowing up, which it didn't.
small details, I know- it was well done and its hard to believe this is your first Flash.

Keep at it.

[The Hammerthrow 5]

Yaaaaaay!

You did it! You did it! You made the smash camera scene like I asked you to! You didn't 'improve' the style either-

You go on my favourite list for that, along with this movie and I will tell the other Dragons and Spirits to see it.

Lots of sports still to do-
-backstroke swimmer hits the end (I'm always afraid of that)
-snooker player (give him a bow tie!) pokes or gets poked.
-fencing (proper mask etc on top of usual scribble!)
-table tennis player- maybe opponants bat in his mouth?
-sailing/rowing/canoeing
-horseriding
Don't take away what you have- the style is cult status now, but try to add whatever you can to build on it and keep new originality- the best sounds you can find (maybe faint 'announcer'/ commentator sounds. Maybe an ambulance scene outside a stadium (where the curler goes by!).
Put credit scene in (with button gets more interact. point), please?

Muskelchock responds:

Yaaaay, i was going to put down hammerthrow 6, but when i saw your review i am gonna finish it. Its gonna be much longer this time i hope. At least smoother frame by frame animation and better loops, Mayby the characters is going to have eyes, what do you think. Im an on to to basketball. If you have any ideas mail me at [e-mail] . Thanks for the good review

[Shorts: The Cell]

Good stuff!

I liked the whole idea of looking into the cell and moving around the layer.

What the guy said was good, the way it was said was good, the idea of it being a mouse was very good. As I have been thinking, my overall score has just gone up form 7 to 8!
I think I will put this in my favourites.
Thank you.
A little more sound might be good - maybe mouse/rat sounds or cell doors clanking in the background or distant voices.

[no smoking]

OK

It looked good until the dance, which was a bit of a cop-out, just moving Nosmo without moving his limbs at all, then getting into a loop when I was hoping for something more to happen. I personally don't like these subs that end in a loop rather than a proper end with credits after and a replay button

I liked the image of the match burning, but it would have looked much more impressive if you had the flame sucked to one side and the edge of the cigarette light, before the being put out etc.

Its got potential, please explore it.

[Be Like Us]

Quite good

Good enough video of the song, with a few nice details, like the caption that changes at the end- Its legal.

It looks like you were hasty finishing it in time for CD. Timing of some images and text is too fast.

Please tidy it up.

The Dragon/Spirit Alliance are Ock neutral- we vote only on merit.

[Winter Moon]

OK stuff

Calm and pleasant. Be prepared for some hostile stuff from them lot out there, it has no blood, guts, swear words or humour, but as far as I am concerned it is a nice little video made to go with a nice piece of music.

[A FLASH ABOUT TREES!!111!]

OK stuff

Despite being very messy, to the point that it was very hard to make out what was going on, it had story, humour, scenes, background, ideas, intro, ending, message etc. so I liked it.

I liked the sounds and some of the detail- Bond theme, scope sight etc.

Try getting your friends to look at stuff before you submit it. If it doesn't make sense to them, it won't to us. You sensibly gave us authors notes to read, but to be frank without them I'm not sure I would have known what was going on.

You definately have ability, may I suggest you collaborate a bit to make the most of it

Ying-yong responds:

OK. Thank you for your helpful review. It'll be helpful next time I make a film.

[Summer Passed Out]

Yes, it was funny!

This is it. I decided to review/vote on all your work. It appears I left the best until last!

The graphics are so much better that the rest. I suspect that is because, like me, you are working with others and it improves the result.

This kind of skill, extended into a longer movie, could hit really high marks. The actual animation is mostly fairly simple, but the pictures look so good you hardly notice.
Morten Harket has a good voice, doesn't he? Are Aha still around? I haven't heard anything of them for years.

Now I have reviewed it all and I am very tired. It is now some stupid time in the morning and I must get to bed. I hope you can see that I am not a moron. Your work is interesting, please do more. Goodnight.
