IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Animation Transformation]

Nice idea...

... well executed.

Looks good, sounds good, music OK, the best bit is the shear variety of styles you put in their and the variety of actions to go with them.

May I suggest you do some Clocks etc., in fact that you cycle quickly through the whole series of different Ocks etc, in approximate order of Crew creation in a Special Newgrounds version. Clocks, Locks, Glocks, etc. Contact me if you want a list and pix/info.

[The fall of the mafia]

so so

I can't say I like MC very much anyway, though at its best some MC material has talent, including Krinkels own stuff.

This one has little new to offer and is not very well executed (excuse the pun!)

What is LMHB?

Like many of the poorer MC, people just stand there with guns in thier hands not using them.

The text is sometimes difficult to read, and poorly spelt. The white line/gap on the right is clumsy, exposing beyond the edge of the movie at points. Why not have the credits music running quietly through the film?

I did like the joke "doing another killing spree" ! and the touch of saluting the tape of his mission.

LMHB are the quality buttons

[Fire Flower Folly]

Good

I don't usualy watch much Sprite stuff and this kind of thing is generally overdone.

However, its all done to good quality, with good sound, good music, etc.

Most of all, though I noticed a decent quantity of ideas, not just three, which many people expect to get through judgment with.

Also proper credits get that one more star

Sunrie responds:

Hey, ,thanks for the review. Glad you enjoyed it, especially since you don't normally watch anything with sprites.

[Friendship is Magic Bitch]

Not a favourite

compared to the best of your work. It has a few details I like, though, such as the focus on the dark pony shaking, having some realisation of what is happening.

Although I don't know anything about MLP and presumably that doesn't help me to understand what is going on here, I got the idea as we went along.

The art is fine and the switch between images is interesting, if a tad confusing/distracting.

The VA is good, except that it sounds echo-y and studio-y

Unlike some people, I get the idea that you had to have three versions of ponies, to show that whatever answer they gave, they were shot to the moon.

[The Bad Dragon]

Ha!

Its OK. sound good, art OK, liked the lip sync. and the crestfallen dragon. It shows what can be done with simple techniques if we try.

None of us dragons eat people, though maybe some people deserve to be eaten!

Krutches responds:

I always love your reviews Ice.

[Last Bomb on Earth - Pt 2]

Nice

Looks good, nice effects, well narated with clear and appealing voice. Animation simple, but OK. Art quite good.

I didn't entirely understand the story, but I got the general idea. Peace will come.

Live long and prosper!

tuan69 responds:

PEACE WILL COME

YEah!!!!

Spread the word! Feel the word!!!

THanks buddy!

[LunaRose 1-6]

Like it

Very good art, story & sound. OK music

Animation so-so- There is nothing actually wrong with what is there, but the avoidance of animation gets a bit tiresome in a movie of this level.

The dialogue is mildly amusing and different. I am glad to have the detailed explanation that is in the notes, but really the movie should stand alone, without needing notes to explain itself.
I have to say that even after a replay, I had difficulty figuring out who the characters are, exactly, though I suppose that doesn't really matter- I will assume that becomes clearer in future episodes.
The voices are good quality - Though the pirate, although it is clear, has an inconsistant, weird accent- I decided to think of it as part of the humour.

Always good to have subtitles, despite clear speech, thank you. Glad they were well-written.

Lots of potential- I look forward to more.

Always put a replay button at the end.
Don't forget to encourage people to watch early episodes before viewing later ones by putting links in at the beginning. As you create new episodes, put links in the earlier ones so they go direct to the later ones.

Crintleod responds:

Thanks for your extensive feedback, it is very much appreciated.

If it will help, I can sum up the characters in one word.

Naylu - the conspirator
Stradiff - the beatnik
Klyzed - the preacher
Pharris - the gangsta
Ghenter - the snitch
Yori - the goth

And also thanks for giving me the idea of linking this video to earlier episodes. I will get to work on that right away!

[StrawberryQuest]

Fun

I would prefer something with a little more actual animation, but yeah, SBC stridding roudn the whole world, into SG, into NG; turning everyone into clocks- its quite good

Couldn't make out what Tom was saying, which might have helped, otherwise OK.

XenonMonkey responds:

"Adrien Brody, Adrien Brody."

[[SS] Angry's Awakening]

Although

...the text is irritatingly slow, at least I could hear it easier than Mushroom.

Not exactly typical Newgrounds. Refreshing, to a point.
