IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Car Insurance Costs]

Very good- IF

... you know the reference!

Best of luck with other countries that don't have the advert. I suppose they like violence enough here, so it should do OK.

The sounds, the animation, the music, the voices, the expression- its great.

Ash26 responds:

thanks alot for the kind words :)

and to be honest with you i actually had no idea that other countries didnt get the advert

[Sonic Gut Feeling]

Good

Good story, good art & animation. I liked the sound and voices.

Thought the hot dog thing was kinda funny.

Its not a great visual quality, as you know, especially for such a big file, but yeah, I might check out the sequel when you do it.

kalabor106 responds:

Yeah, I'm not happy with the compression as well as the size, but there isnt much I can do. Yeah be looking forwards to your review.

[Messy OrangeClock]

hmm

It works OK and it has all the elements of a standard Ock movie, but its just not very funny, so there's not much point to it. Sorry, it doesn't float my boat.

A-Films responds:

i'll get better

[LL - 99 Red Balloons]

very good!

Best Crew work I have seen in a while. Great visual effects, art, good animation. I liked the expressions you gave them and I am always happy to see the Key of Glorton in action. I also particularly liked the image of yourself blazing out of the ice, then the final memorial was quite touching.

Were we supposed to know who the evil dude is?

I personally feel that just running a music track through it is a bit of a cop out, it could have been SO much better with sounds, voices etc. It would express thoughts, actions and personality so much better.
Imagine how much better it could be with tranquil bird song etc, then burst of sound , combat sounds, defiant words, shouts and warnings, clashing of weapons awesome victory music, sombre remembrance music...

Having said all that, the music was good, and kinda had the right atmosphere, the action was timed well to the mood of the music too, from the buzz sound as the aliens' eye glows to the buzz fading as it closes.

The next step up into animation greatness could involve:

* Sparks flying when swords clash * Different 'camera' angles * zoom in to see expressions

If I wasn't in the DS I might be tempted to join, inspired by this. Maybe we should collaborate one day. Congrats on the awards.

Best Wishes to the LL from the Dragons & Spirits

[Fantastisquad]

V good

I liked it. All good art, animation music voices etc.

Nice characters, I like the sillyness of them.

Hope you might do more with these guys. Maybe include some female characters somehow.

[Rectangle Tetris Anim]

As you say

Its pretty good considering the restraints, but yeah, no sound is unfortunate.

Not a very original idea, but its OK

[Apathy Day]

yeah

I thought it was really... oh well...

[SBC - Taking the portal]

Unfinished?

Unfinished is an understatement. There is nothing to get into, so its barely started.

IMO it really doesn't matter how much potential a movie has if it doesn't get anywhere.

Yes, some of the art, such as the image of the NG office and server, is very good, but other parts were very poor such as the scribbled people , so I don't rate it and would not have kept it. The music is not exactly exciting or original and there should have been all sorts of sounds too.

[A Letter]

Its OK

Slightly funny and sweet. Not bad animation and a cute little tune.

I wish I could send my girlfriend a letter that did that, it was a nice little firework effect!

EATIncorporated responds:

Yeah, I really have to thank Maverlyn for the song, maybe someone else could put it to more justice, because it has such a great, quirky melody. And yeah, i wish i could do a firework like Terkoiz or Hyun, but, well, i thought it was nice!

[Soul of a killer]

Doesn't make sense

You shouldn't have to explain the story in the notes. It should all be in the movie.

serial killer is spelt thus. The credits don't make much sense either.

It doesn't have much to do with Madness so the title pic is misleading.
