IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[[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.

[Titanic: The Untold Story]

Random!

Its good, its fun, its got lots of cameos and stuff!

The very beginning seems to have a fault, with a couple of seconds of start, then restart with the ship- got to fix that.

I tried the game, but was crap, only got one veg. Had difficulty hearing what the veg said to the tomato, but I got the idea.

There is just SO much going on. I will send this to my gf, who likes pirates!

Its great and deserves to do well.

Merol responds:

You can turn the subtitles on by pressing "S".
THANKS YOU VERY MUCH!

[Ring System]

Its good

I don't entirely get it, but it is interesting and well executed.

I like the art, animation and music and the story is intriguing. It reminds me of the old children's book "The Little Prince"by Antoine St Exupery- search it if you don't know it, you would probably like it a lot.

LordBojangles responds:

I never read The Little Prince but I know what the premise was and can see what you mean about the similarity; thanks for watching.

[Explore the asylum]

Yes

Its a proper flash

the music and images are quite insane, so it is somewhat wierd to visit, but each room has overall much the same feel to it, so although you have a number of rooms, they don't present themselves as a great variety.

Its OK.

[Metal Slug shorty]

Hmmm

The Sound, music, animation etc. is fine and it is what it says it is, so I give the minimum four stars pass, but..

but its not really at all interesting, original or entertaining. Its just a little clip of something, with no story, explanation, character or emotion.

OsatoUchiha responds:

Well, like I told you, I had nothing to do, I was bored.... if you want something with more story check out Metal Slug SPJ, that one took me quite some time.

[Poet Ink. Cartoon]

Its OK

Its a bit slow-paced and the sound is very echo-y,

Otherwise , the sound, music, art, animation etc are OK and the credits are fine

dave198 responds:

Thanks IceDragon64.
Unfortunately the reason the voices are so echo-y (and tinny), is the free sound editor I'm using causes the echo for some reason when I raise the pitch on the voices.
I've tried the noise reduction filters in the program, but none of them get rid of the echo-y (and tinny) sound. If you know of another (better) sound editor (free if at all possible), please point me to it, cause I haven't been able to find one yet. And thank you sincerely for the constructive criticism. I agree that it is a maybe too slowly paced, I was worried about that specifically, but was afraid of it coming off too fast paced if I did it faster.
