IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mario's Secret Weapon]

Quite good

The movie itself is hardly worth watching but the sub is about a collection of mock bloopers, which are quite well done.
I imagine one would need to be quite familiar with the characters to get the full humour of this- the voices, the action etc.
I had difficulty hearing what Mario said, but then I had plenty of chances to pick it up!
Apart from that the sound was OK.
I thought the credits were rather too fast.

Protected.

[LOTRP]

cant say I actually liked it much...

... but we have to at least protect it. It is kinda funny. I don't understand a lot of it- like why the One Ring looks like a baby's dummy, why Gollum's head kept exploding etc and why the plot was so mixed up, but hey, it made me smile. Its gotta socre a few point for Random...
...and its LOTR

fofizzle responds:

Im glad you sort of like it. Also this is my first flash that I actually recorded for.

[College University pt 11]

Very good

Its funny and its got detail. I imagine it would be funnier if I were more familiar with the USA references. I liked the moment the HCL washed the crap off MJ's face!

It has a rather Simpsons style to the humour, which is fine. Some time I must get round to doing the whole CU series. I wouldn't change anything on this one.

[Randiss Estroin]

OK

Stick fighting is not my taste much. they have to be exceptional to impress me so a protect is OK. You did put a glimmer of story/character into it and it has a bit of length amd variety of style/action.

Better with proper story, like- why is the Boss trying to kill him? Better with backgrounds.

Spell: length

Improve text in bed so you can read it easier
What does the name mean?

[The Great Space Robbery]

what a waste!

I DID protect it- just and I don't mean to be hostile but it was barely watchable. All those great backgrounds with such lame character art and limited animation. A reasonable story, not expressed at all while you are in it.
You seriously need to collaborate with this if you can't see yourself sorting it.
It has a lot of potential for a major sort out and resub. If all else fails you, PM me and I will see if any of the DS crew feel like taking it on.
Best Wishes,
Ice

Wiz-Kid responds:

Thank you. I was disappointed with the movie, too - and it's my own movie! I just wanted to start off with something simple, before I move out to more complicated projects. I'm a beginner on Flash, so consider this as a practice.

Thanks again for the critic, IceDragon64, and for all the bad comments - at least, you were sincere.

After all, "TGSR" may be "barely watchable", but it was better than seeing two stick figures in a "DragonBall Z" parody, right?

[Ruby - Misheard Lyrics]

Not too bad, but...

I don't think the lyrics sounded much like what you wrote.
It was a bit funny but not very.

spell guitar.

[The Square Ethics]

LOL

I literally laughed (quietly) out loud.

As you say the art and animation is not exactly sophisticated, but hell, its funny!

the style is kinda weird, but I wouldn't change anything!

[Haphazard Episode 1]

Very good

weird, of course, but quite funny and makes me want to see the next episode. reminds me of the story in The Silver Chair where the heroes are in the kitchen.
Needs tiny bits of text editing. eg "Backgroundgs"

[The Invader]

Good

Neat, funny.

Is Victoria really this cool & kick-ass? I want her on my side!

Shame it was so small, I could hardly make out some of the details, but otherwise it was good.

[The Abyssal Zone]

Good

I was impressed with the voices- All yours!? Its usually obvious and lame when an author tries to do all the voices. Some of the sound quality is poor and needs replacing as it is hard to hear. The sea spider is largly inaudiable and the clown fish sound when it is eaten is poor.

I liked the angler fish narator and the sound/music generally seemed well chosen and planned.

Some links to More Info at the end would help.

A diagram of where the Abyssal Zone is would look good. One satellite pic from above and one cutaway view from the side, maybe all in More Info buttons at the end.

True lip sync is hard work, but makes a lot of difference. To get the angler fish to truly talk to us would take a lot of time, but the results would be great.

Its doing OK already, but this could be reworked into a 3+ resubmission if you care to take the time on it and could even lead to a successful series, should you choose.
Best Wishes,
