IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Carl Spacedew]

OH yeah!

Comedy is made of jokes and timing- this has both. The sound was excellant and the twists just MAKE this. I am exploring your work, having enjoyed Camel Spider.
This is excellant work- I wouldn't change it.

[Office Jokes in the World]

good but dissapointing

I was expecting more from the intro etc- a whole raft of office jokes. Were you intending a series?

[The Camel Spider]

Very Good,funny

Please include a button/page of info on the subject/background. You have front page etc. so telling us to go look it up is a bit of a cop out.

I will look them though!

Falconer02 responds:

Excellent. I was contemplating doing that, but I didn't want to spoil the research process for people. I'll probably throw a link or two in the description soon. Thank you!

[Spawnmaster Ep 1]

Its very good.

but it need quite a bit of improvement to make it great.

You have clearly put in a lot of effort and it certainly has length. there are some nice touches including some little bits of huour and some bits and pieces of thought and story and some nice sounds.

However, its nearly all one long fight scen without any explanation or introduction. Who is this Spawnmaster? why is he running and jumping down the hole? You have to make this kind of story happen in order to make people CARE what happens to him. It is the quiet moments and the thoughts and the bright times which make the adventure seem exciting and important in contrast.

Also, having spent, I am sure, SO much time putting this good show together you really should have got someone who is good at English to read it through- someone who was NOT involved in the project who can see it objectively.

As for the credits, you need to put some into the notes right NOW, then edit the some of the boring, repetative action scenes a bit. All you need is one button on the end frame directing you to one single frame of static credits, for now at least. You may as well improve your interactivity by making a little menu at the end and including Scene Select, a one frame story background and a simple, one frame glimpse of the future in text- just a summary of how many episodes you plan, when you plan to have an alpha out of the next one etc.
For someone of your abilities, this is all very easy, surely?

Don't zoom in to a closeup of a pixelated sprite, it looks awful. Only zoom in if you are prepared to put in some detail to zoom into.
This story has SO much potential, take whatever time you need and ask for whatever help you need- its already so good you should get it.
Best Wishes,
IceDragon64 of the Dragons and Spirits

well very thanks for the time taken to write this review, yeah in ep 2 i will put the history of spawnmaster and you will see, and I'm not english.....lol

[Burnt Toast Man: Hot Date]

Yay! Do more!

Nice stuff. He is, of course NOT burnt toast man UNTIL he goes on the date, but never mind us pedants!

No, seriously. It has a light touch to the humour although its really very black watching poor Clarence and his parten burn to death.

I like the Herb Alpert revival!

[Revenge of the Kongs]

Very interesting

Its like the stories they put at the begiining of games, only expressed as they would LIKE to express them.
It definately had some story to it unlike so much here.

I don't know much about sprites and nearly didnt watch it cos its a sprite movie. I was very surpried that you have made them all yourself.

I think you told us it whose studios it came from too many times, but apart from that it was good stuff.

[Valentine's Day Dreamer]

Looked good

Niceatmosphere. I assume the strange black face is some kind of anime convention? Surely it was a bit dark, just the same?

i think it needs to end and replay buttonrahter than loop.

Best of luck- you may need it cos you told everyone its your first flash and the statwhores may blam it without looking at it.
No, really its good work.

[Freefall boarding]

stickmen skateboard is common on NG...

... but this one is OK. It sounds good and its neat enough. Nothing wrong with it.

ZeroJ responds:

its OK yay thank you dude !
