IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[LL- The Unlocked Collab]

very good but...

Its a great idea, and quite well executed. It has some good art, ideas, sound etc. It is quite a significant collab. I liked some of the details, such as tNowak getting the Key retracting to fit in the lock and the Barbies' seeing the POV through the keyhole.

However, I was a little disappointed that the ideas were rather samey. Lots of people came up with the same idea that it caused an explosion, which is very NG predictable.

I was also rather disappointed that nobody actually turned the key in the lock, which, as well as looking good and making sense, could have sounded good too.

I think there is plenty of scope for Unlocked 2, provided y'all agree not to repeat the basic ideas in 1.

If anyone wants to talk ideas with me, then PM me.

Best Wishes to the Locks from the DS, as always.

[Soup of the Day #4]

Interesting mix

Yeah, I like you guys! A nice variety of styles etc.

The whole thing works quite well, with quite good images and sounds. Obviously some show much more effort than others, but that's OK.
Is there any truth in Canned's story that the Soups existed before?

Don't worry that you share a lot of things with the Ocks- you are called the Soup Squad, people expect that. If you keep going you will create your own identity. Just use camera angles, closups and patience and you will get there!
Check out the Dock Division- they are small, but quality.
Go Soups!

SoupSquad responds:

Thank you very much Ice D. And some of us do love the Dock Division.

As far as Canned's thing. As much as he wishes it was the truth, no. The Soups are a very new crew, but for the sake of fantasy, propaganda, and entertainment, he designed it into a Soup religion. Which, as many people know, can be a huge fantastic but skeptical sounding story. Fact of fiction.

The soups will continue to try to design their own style.

[[Soup] Taco Gets High]

Not much to it

its messy, its too short and simple, it has no credits and its generally dissappointing.

If you are sorry, why are you submitting it?

It does look like bananas are coming out of its rear.

However, as I was writing this review, with the music playing and the movie out of sight, the silly song kinda grew on me!

so I upped the score from 3 stars to 4 !!

I suppose it is cheerful and I've seen a lot worse here. What does Nyan Soup mean?

SoupSquad responds:

Memes. It was for fun.

[Date Night]

O.k.

Quite good art, but animation rather basic. Shame not to animate the car a bit better. Sound good, story good. Made me smile a little

[1FPS Collab]

boring

I ve seen much worse here, but still, nobody managed to do anything with 1 fps that was really worth watching. Each to their own, I'm glad you had fun anyway.

Funny song in Canned's

I will go and have some soup, though!

Little-Rena responds:

You do something with 1FPS, please.

[[Soup] Pico Soup]

Good

Continue to develop the Soup theme. Its interesting.
Its got good art, animation and OK sound.

I was dissappointed with the very end. I realise that you were going for a noir film, but still...
I would hope to see a more powerful and exciting transformation as the soup becomes a living Soup character. Why does he look so miserable, when being a Soup is surely so wonderful?

Please consider changing this as it could be so much better.

Go Soups!

Dosensuppen responds:

I admit, the ending is rather disappointing. Rushing is helpful to no one. Think this flash as the founding style for the current soup style. If you check the first two Soup flashes, they lacked in design.

I like to believe the Soups evolved from this near emotionless avatars to something of emotion and character now. Taco is an open homosexual and Can is his friend. Though, the others are a bit more untouched.

I will not change this animation, but if time goes on, I will add on to a story. What I done now is what built things up and should be archived as a final product.

[Soup: Throwback to Future]

woah!

The highest score I have given to a crew movie in a long time.

Its got story, lore, art, animation, SFX, Endless Handbag- what more could one want. If I wasn't loyal to my own crew, I would be tempted to join you.

I like the idea of the old crews world being b/w and yours being colourful. It reminds me of the Wizard of Oz. Loved seeing those crew images again, like the AA. The timing was great making things happen to certain sounds in the EH music.
Liked the images you gave your soups, with good animation and lip sync

Shame the effect of the uzi(?) shooting the luger(?) was so lame.
The speech is hard to hear. I replayed and still couldn't make it all out- subtitles needed.

Go soup squad!

Dosensuppen responds:

Actually, there was no shooting involved there. The former Uzi Union member was speaking to the former Glock Group member. You must keep in mind, many "ock" types have items for faces. Glad you enjoyed it, mister IceDragon. And I respect that you are very loyal to your own group, but if you ever want to partake in a collab, group to group, I would love to do so.

Also, the endless handbag has always been difficult to make out for some people. :p

[[Soup] Truth of Osama]

Gosh wow!

Its got effort, its got camera angles, animating skill, voices, personality.
Is this really the product of something called the Soup Squad?

No, seriously, its good. Its like a cross between an Ock movie and Tankmen. I hope your crew continues to create new and original movies, with their own destinctive style.

Best Wishes to the Soups from the Dragons & Spirits

Dosensuppen responds:

I've always seen this particular flash to be a watered down version of Tankmen, or I have during the development. But hey, I enjoy gay jokes. I think you hit the nail on the head. Probably would have been better if it wasn't made in a single day.

And best wishes from Soup Squad to Dragons & Spirits.
