IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Junior High Shorts]

Needs work

+ Well animated sitting down
+OK voices
+OK art

-I don't understand it at all. If you want us all to vote well you need to explain things a bit to the millions of us that don't have a Wii and who don't know what a facewich is.
-speed up the sitting down bit.
-make the one guy look more different to the other.
-put in credits eg sound source, voice
I'll pass it but please sort it out.

bananas-for-sk8er responds:

thanks, yea one of my friends is random and he loves to say facewhich, so I decided to put it in. I'll try and improve it on the next one or maybe make this one better and update it in edit mode.

[1 Flash To Rule Them All]

difficult to review-score

there is a lot in here, including some good elements, but most of it is not great and could do with a fair bit of work. Its certainly worth a pass, but I dont think you are doing yourself justice at present:

The quiz is fine, except that most of the stuff is pretty familiar on the web, including here in NG. Of course, the choice of music is liekly to be popular, but uploading a popular theme tuen is not a great acheivement- lol.

The fireworks were nice, I don't know it is an original idea, but I certainly havent seen it before. However, it could be made better with a buildup to a finale- a set of two or three big rockets, followed by the traditional burning 'Good Night' like they usually have at firework display- also where was the Catherine Wheel? Not only is that my favourtie but lighting the fuse and then wathcing it happen would be great. How about fountains- the ladies favourite!
Yeah, finale - ie come to an end- which leads on to my next thing...
The final stickman thing. its notm by any means the worst stick man fight on NG, but why put htis in and spoil a flash, when we are SO fed up with stickmen fighting and surely you know this cannot compete with any of the strings of very good ones. If you didn't know it was a loop I cant imagine how you though it was going to end?
generally, I notice a few strips of white edge, which you cant see when you make it- you need to use a different coloured background background, so this shows up when you publish it and check all flash thouroughly befoee uploading.

I would say this flash is OK and its worth working on

[TetriS Craziness]

OK short

I don't think its too short, its a Short, thats all. You could make it longer, with more things happening inside and it would be worth more if you did, but its OK as a short.

Its a familiar theme on NG- there are lots of Tetris experiences and a few 'interaction with the computer' stories, but this one is OK.
It would have been better with backgrounds in the closeups- the boy is against a black background inside the computer but a white bgd in closeup- so its a little confusing.
Obviously it could have sounds in addition to the Tetris music, but its all OK.

[fetus wars: episode 1]

Good

+Good art
+OK animation
+It has a message
+Ok sound
+a good random element

Needs credits in movie- sounds etc.
Discipline is spelt thus.

everyone should press the 'random submission button' now and again!

[Newgrounds "Critic"]

This sucks!

No, it doesn't- I just had to write that!

Jesus, this is good, it expresses the U Suk! brigade SO well!

I see this from both angles- I write ship loads of reviews trying to say something useful, but I see stat whores who ignore Toms guidlines. I also submit movies and get the U Suk!ers occasionally.

I like the way you have captured the images associated with web nerds- Star Wars, cartoons, broken glasses etc. the voiceover is great and it has a bit of length without going on forever.
I wouldn't change it!

["Pulpit Friction"]

Very good

Your work is coming on sub by sub. Some nice details in there, the style is little like Simpsons. Its the clouds, the voices, and some of the humour style,I suppose. Subtitles would be nice, although the sound is good enough. The lip sinc has improved a lot since LST (it needed to!) I look forward to the Show when it comes out- no doubt there will be all sorts of backgorund info! Put out an alpha for it some time. More people should use the alphas.

[I get Angry Faic T-shirt]

its funny...

...and its very quick off the mark, so I passed it!

I think it would be much better if Wade talked in human rather than speakonia, but hey- its still funny.

art- basic but OK
animation- basic but OK
sound- basic- could be improved
humour- simple but funny
length- appropriate for sketch
could have credits- eg explosion, sound, speakonia etc.

[SANTA CLAUSE]

Quite good

Desperately needs a preloader- it played in little bits til it loaded- I will give you 20 minutes to put one in before I vote! Also needs a stop at the end, preferably with a replay button. If you cant do replay button yet then put in a stop and put in text telling us to right click and Rewind.
To put in a stop just click on the last frame in any layer; go into Actions, click the empty space and type Esc, S, T.
It needs proper credits- music and stuff.

Some nice art, decent story, OK animation- baisc but OK. I was amusied by the Christ mas Tree expanding out of the sack.
Funny message at the end.
make your profile available so people can pm you now you are an author!
