IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wishmaster Misheard Lyric]

Very good!

A lot of these don't really sound too much like the text people give it. This is good. Obviously it helps if one chooses a song where we really can't hear the lyrics and what you can hear doesn't make much sense- Yeah I can see why they choose this song a lot!
I was really laughing at this. I don't care if You tube has a pile of these I haven't seen them and I am laughing at this!

Kaldron responds:

Sorry to sound arrogant and cocky but the ones on YouTube are crap compared to this. Here's the original if you wanna check it out: http://youtube.com/watch?v=gg5_mlQOsU Q

Thanks a lot for you comment though, I really appreciate it!

[KFK's Adventures #11]

OK, its good

It might even be very good, its funny and the voice is good, the pics are good and the timing is fine, but really its got no other sound and NO Actual Animation, so its not great.
Since it is a series, it should have buttons taking you to earlier episodes within the movie. A menu to do this at the beginning which would give us the option of finding out who these characters are from within the movie.

[Super Hero Clock]

Yaaay!

Do more! All excellant, I wouldn't change a thing!

[rusting dreamscape]

Hmm.

has some atmosphere, but I didn't like it that much. I prefer your more cheerful and active stuff. It was OK on DA, but I don't think there is enough to it yet for NG.
I didn't vote on it cos I cant vote 2.5 and I wouldn't drop your score by voting 2.
One of the reasons why I like you/your work so much is that you always work on it. It is nice to be a part of it.
Maybe its time you animated further than the repetative MC's. Its all right for a short thing, but this loop of vid to go with the music was getting boring.
the music is OK, but not my thing much. your beautiful voice carries it just so far, plus dragons, of course. They are always welcome!
Keep working on it. PM me when its developed a bit more and I will come back and vote!
Best Wishes,
Ice

[Principled Depravity]

very interesting

Very good.
Good art- tho limited with white backgrounds and no colour etc.
Very good animation
Very good sound
*Excellant voices

Good, if not very original, story line.
You have created a certain amount of personality, which is very important and so oftenb missed in other major subs. It is vital to give the charaacters personality, in order for the viewer to CARE what happens.
A glimpse of home life inserted in this, even if it were just a phone call from wife showing normal home life, would make it all seem a lot more personal.
If you don't want to stretch to that, then at least give her a name in his dialogue.

I am not sure what the episode subtitle is supposed to mean assention is not a word. I assume you either meant ascention or assertion. Also tiny sp. in the credits: offical/official.
high quality work. Could become something exceptional.

LogFish responds:

Thanks a lot - man I should get you to check my work before I post it!! You down with that? If you are PM me and I'll write you down somewhere :) Thanks a lot for the useful review!

[Overlord preview]

OK, not bad

Good art, OK animation, if rather simple. Voices were hard to hear; I replayed and still could make out what was being said. That wa sthe thing which spoilt it for me. I guess it was probably funny.

[It's Clam Dance Time!!!]

OK, a bit funny

Is a bit of fun I suppose. Nice little bits of animated sea creatures. Not much to it though. The divide between something like this, which is mildly entertaining, and something which is just music loop spam is quite subtle. Any how, congratulations on getting through, it has some skill in it.
Suggestions:
-Add a seahorse in orange to the background, or even going up in front of the clam.
-If thats supposed to be a pearl, loose the grey edge.
-Sort credits "Concept, coding and drawing by ...?"

Best Wishes,
Ice

IceDragonkin responds:

I like the sea horse. ill have to add that.

No gray edge ill see how that looks it is a pearl.

And the credits is a resolution problem. i have a huge resolution screen so my alias shows up there but i went to a friends to show them it and there monitor was more average size and the text was cut out like you mentioned. so im going to have to stretch the Dynamic Textbox so even small rez's can see it.

Thanx for the feed back.

[The Infamous Don]

Hmm. got potential

Not much as its is, tho, its too fast and no story detail. You should not have to explain everything in text, but you do here. If this is to begin a series then it doesn't bode well that the thing has no character.

May6 I suggst that you insert a small scene before all this, of the Boss on the phone or something. All you need is about 20 seconds of talk on the phone or something to establish personality and introduce the scene.
You only need the back of a chair and the side of his head, phone noises, maybe a view out of the window.

I don't see why he kills the guard (spelt thus, by the way) if he is coming as if with money. If he has just killed the guard, then why is everyone just standing around letting him in. It looks like you had two different ideas here and maybe got a little mixed up or carried away.

Take your time and sort this out now, cos if you want it to be a series, then you will want people to go back and see the beginning. In fact, make them go back when you submit the next one by starting with a big link button and a firm statement, with only a small play button, otherewise most people will not bother and not appretiate it to the full.

The art and animation are OK, the music is apropriate and I am sure you can make something of this. I know this is a picky review of OK work, but I wouldn't bother if I didn't think it was worth it.
Best Wishes,
Ice
