IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[[SS] r0msturn of the sith]

Hi!

Glad to see you guys are still going.

The movie is very limited, of course, with poor art and animation. I didn't think it was really worth watching, but hey, I've seen much worse here and since it has nice music is not so bad.

Best Wishes to the Socom Squad from the Dragons & Spirits (who will also Rise Again!)

Its OK

The sound quality is not great and you should have got rid of the voice before uploading this- promises don't count for much here - we vote on what we see.

Take your time and don't upload until it is the best you can make it.
It looks good enough, so best of luck.

Thank you your comment is very constructive

difficult to rate!

The mechanics, animation and art of the Flash are very good. The music is appropriate and the voice is standard CC speakonia. Everything works OK and the art portrayed is a nice collection of parodies. Each looks good and it all works as a collection. I liked the ability to compare with the original too.
Putting together succesful collaborations of quality work is really hard work and this is one of them.

So is it GREAT?

Well, I found myself clicking quickly through, smiling a little and being ready to move on. Only looking a second time to review it did I see all the art skill. Some of them caught my eye , but many seemed like a so-so pic with clock on it.
The Thinker, for example- there is nothing wrong with it a piece of Flash art, but nothing inspiring. Those with a bit of a twist- the clockface being 'carved' into the Moai face instead of slapped on; the Clocks looking out in Banksies art; the melting clocks- were more interesting.
The whole flash, whilst being better art and animation than I could do, was not inspiring or lively. I know its an art gallery not a bank robbery, but we come to the Flash Portal for animation so a bit more action/animation/interactivity would help.

Suggestions:
*Divide the art into sections, as they do in art galleries- could be historical based on the art or Clock-based or something else.
*Choice of music or different music for different sections
*Allow the user to go through the doors
*Have something resembling a shop in the shop area- is there Clock merchandise?- one should be able to buy a Strawberry Clock- Posters of the art?

Could be better

OK, story, but you should have shown some of the ending part, even if just simplified.

I would like you to do one really good Redneck Clock animation. One really complete story to develop this character. Something that lives up to your abilities (and gives me something to write about on Wikigrounds!)

Its quite good, but...

It could easily be so much better. Its a funny gag and it all looks OK etc. but if you had shown us a real thing that SBC did, instead of going off into a Pokemon boring thing, it would have been so much better.

Oh damn!

It took me at least twice through before I realised it was a loop! There was I wating for something to happen.
Its actually quite nice. pleasant sound and OK animation. Made me smile a little.

You seem to have combined your two personas in this one?!

How interesting!

No, seriously. Thank you for bringing this speech to my attention. As far as I know, he was a man of good intent and it is interesting that he came to those conclusions. I am sure he had his reasons, though it is hard from our perspective in the 21st century, to see it as he did.
I have no doubt that all races should be treated equally and that whatever he saw was a product of the circumstances at the time.

The flash is set out in a boring way- with no real animation or pictures. A little info on who Albert Sweitzer is and a pic would make all the difference.
If it were longer, I would give it a lower score; as it is the words are clear and interesting enough to tolerate.

Hard to hear- needs subtitles

Pretty boring, especially without the subtitles to enable me to hear it properly. could have had images to back the text up.

[S P I D E R]

Good

Good sound, OK animation and art. Nice collection of cameos, quite funny.

I wouldn't change it.

[Miracle on 34th Street]

Ah!

I found a Raspy movie that is more than just spam. Good.
Its not great, but its OK. Clocks may talk with Speako, but the Fulps shouldn't. Having them talk with a pointer is lame too.
apart from that its OK.
