IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Duncan & Jones]

Do more !!!!

Full of nice touches and good weird stuff . Art- v good animation- fairly simple, but appropriate for the style. sound v good Music v good. Voices v good. Funny.

[Tora Lifting Rock]

I blam most scraps and tests, but this one was OK; it was actually mildly entertaining and has some quality to it.

[Marios New Secret Weapon3]

Congratulations on Front Page and some genuinely high scores through Judgement for your movies at last. You put in the work and gained the credit for it.

Its not my personal taste; I find the whole thing longwinded- IMO it needs trimming about 15%, but hey you have a lot in it and it is well enough put together in other respects, with FULL credits, so, yeah, cool. :)

[Glimpse of Me]

Its quite good, with some good art/animation/sounds etc. Its cliche, predictable and the final hand looks scribbled, which lets it all down a bit, but it ticks some boxes and works OK.

[The Banshee]

Very good quality voice and sound, though one should not really have to turn up one's speakers. Very good art and good animation, let down by the stupid square borders round the otherwise excellant white light, plus the sharp circular border round the red light of the moon at the end.

Very good story.

Please put in credits for the voice.

[Every Printer Ever]

ABSOLUTELY ! You see - that is why we need the FRONT PAGE - because without it, I would not have experienced this YES YES YESSERY I am having right now.

Daily 5th FIFTH? What happened to you Portal Guardians- can't you SEE this is a masterpiece? You thought, between you, there were four entries better than this? What, was there a Disney convention on NG yesterday?
This is TRUTH, this is LIFE this in PRINTERS !

Trust me, Cheeto, it is NOT just you !

Very good sound, very good talking, good animation, good comic timing etc. made me smile.

Proper walking might have got you a rare 5 from me.

[Kare 1 Home]

Too little in it to really judge the quality of the story, or to get into it much, but what there is is intriguing and different. I trust you have a plan for something worthwhile and a bit longer for future episodes. Reminds me of Tiny Planets :)

bDwS responds:

I really appreciate that , the project was a bit too ambitious and I'd finished a good chunk of it , so pt 2 will be more of kare wondring around.
But I'm starting over for pt 3 to start fixing the problems and start expanding the story!

[GET UGLY]

Its very good. Its got the impact of a basically simple idea, with a nice twist. It has those little spots of detail, like the picture on the wall. The sounds, music and voices are GREAT.
There was something not 100% about the creature I couldn't put my finger on, but I read The X's review and he nailed it, a bit of shading/texture would have pushed it up a notch.

[The Past]

This is why, after all these years, I still guard the Portal. Whatever else I do while I am on Newgrounds, I check in at the Portal and VOTE. Often it is a slog and sometimes I wonder why I bother, then I see something like this...
Striking, interesting and perhaps thought-provoking, with quality music, sound and voices, it was enjoyable. I am not sure if I fully understand it, or even if it is meant to be fully understood, but I am confident it will do well here.
I enjoyed the different images you gave the people and recognised the plague masks. Its a grim world you have created.
I interpret the coloured images at the end as a metaphor for some kind of story-telling that brightens and gives something to their lives.

[Diacrisis Trailer]

Top trailer! I'm not into games much, but if I was at all interested in something new, this would certainly attract me.

I am usually very grumpy about anything which is a trailer because on Newgrounds it is so often a trailer for something that is never made/finished, but since you have something to play out there and this is reasonably entertaining in itself, I am more than happy with it.

The animation is limited by the gameplay, the voice is hard to hear at first, though it is fine thereafter, and hordes of zombies to fight is not exactly an original idea, but still...

4/5 is as high as I ever give for something which is actually an advert for something else, elsewhere but the sound, art etc is all fine.

Alucard responds:

Hey buddy, how you doing?
I'm more than grateful for your review, shows your upmost respect for my projects.
At the moment I just finished my ambitious tittle called ''Lost in Hell''!
It's a shooting side-scroller game, I'd be really glad you to check it out:

The game is in need of wishlists on Steam if you could do it or share to someone that can...
Would help a whole lot my career! Thanks man, take care!
