IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[LL- Locktopia Geographic]

Good. Funny

Its all good. Liked the video camera effects.

I also liked the 'your ticking again' bit- I remember being anxious about submissions, myself, and getting distracrted when I'm supposed to be animating. In my case I do research for my quizzes and get lost exploring Wikipedia!

Its got some nice touches. I was actually hoping it really was a movie describing the Lock Legion- is there one you would reccomend?

Best Wishes to the LL from the Dragons & Spirits

ClockLock responds:

Ah, sorry for the late response... but hopefully I can explain things about the Lock Legion with an upcoming flash. Lock Day is May 26th, and it'll be out then. Thank you for such positive comments and feedback!

[Pootytang: Saddam's Story]

Sorry I can't protect this...

I guess Im throwing away BP points but for what its worth...

+a little humour
+ quite quick off the mark (but not the first, nor as good)
+ some interesting choices of pictures, hinting at a moments thought and understanding

messy, misspelt and basically just a slideshow. Ive seen much worse.

for the record, although I have little doubt that he was responsible for atrocities and should have been punished severely for genocide, like many dictators, he did many good things for his country at first, especially education, and will (unfortunately) be idolised and martyred by those in his country who wanted a strong leader to stand up for thier cause.

Spy responds:

thanks for the long and helpful review.

[Starwars Outakes]

Ok

Farily basis spritey parody thing, pretty familiar and not exceptional, but OK. brought a small smile.

needs a little tidying up: Edit title; slow down credits.

otherwise OK

fathom5 responds:

Ty for pointing that out.

[ts_Xmess_part_4]

Very good

+you made it! in the end it all makes a good story. Depsite various hiccups and queries on the way, which can all be sorted its good stuff. Nice collection of voices, well edited and well put together. this is within the realms of professional stuff you see on TV- tho its still not what i personally would watch!

-timing is spelt thus.

Best Wishes,
Ice

Lol! Well, this type of anime humor is basically preferable taste. Some will crave it and others will not. Just don't let this lead you into thinking that is what is to be expected as far as the future of this series because it was more like a holiday spoof to make good humor and light of my characters. I think its time to introduce these characters to newgrounds and stop farting around with these have baked ideas lol!

[ts_Xmess_part_3]

Pretty good.

+ very good art
+ good animation
+ OK story, some good touches

sound good, music good, voice acting better than some of your earlier stuff.

Isn't that girl rather well stacked for a squeeky little kid? lol!

I don't really understnad the storyline- maybe one has to understand anime formulas and rules to get the hang of this kind of thing. The story seems to be written as if we should already know the characters from somewhere. I suppose your going to tell me 'it will all become clear in the end' like so many flash authors say on NG!

If you really want us to see all the parts you should do as I said yesterday and say so neatly in the notes and again in the movies-
hyperlink to earlier parts in an intro and hyperlink to later parts at the end of each movie. This is important. Do it now.

Personally I don't like this whole genre all that much. the whole 'people stand there and wait for someone to throw a magic spell at them' thing drives me nuts, but hey that's not important.
-its good of its type, I suppose and i am sure it will get better.

Personally I think the titles would look better with the ts in capitals.
you could have notes at the end for people who get interested- see our DS movies and games, they all have 'more info buttons' In them you could, for example, tell us what the name techo- whatever it is means and perhaps where you get your inspiration. Remember, people who really like this stuff are the ones who will keep a check on you and vote high on all your stuff, so serve them well- you need to make your movies understandable and OK for everyone, cos everyone votes here, but aimed mainly for the real people who love this sort of thing- a balance.
Best Wishes,
Ice

merit44 responds:

Thanks for the advise all the way throuh. A lot will follow later after I get a broad band connection to update but it will be done in time.

[Angry Faic Christmas]

Good, funny

+ good art
+good graphics
+funny

All cool but you might improve the spelling in the credits!

ToonCastleTV responds:

Uhh, as far as I'm concered the spelling is fine. I made note I spelled it all right.

[Christmas Carol parody]

difficult to review-score

My head says its not very good, but my heart says you put quite a bit into it.

+you have indeed told the whole story, more or less.

-the images are scrappy
-The sound really is pretty rough. The worst aspect is that the music is too loud in relation to the speaking. Seeing as its in Speakonia, which is not the easiest to hear I cna hardly make out the workdsYou explained why you used Speakonia, but I am afraid it hasn't come out at all well.
-The animation is very limited.
-there are no real backgrounds. It would help a lot to explain the story if we could see where people are and a bit of snow on things.
See what you can do to improve this.
Best wishes,
Ice

Knuckles-gay responds:

I'll try

[WM - Misheard Lyrics]

technically limited, but funny enough

It doesnt seem to sync all that well in the later stages, but we got the idea. I have to say I have no idea what the real lyrics are!

For all I know yours WERE the real lyrics.

Do more like this and see if you can incorporate a bit more Flash into them for the serious types like SCM, who is reviewing just before me tonight! People love misheard lyrics, there are websites just for them!
Best wishes & merry Christmas
Ice

Stigmatas responds:

Sorry It didnt Sync, You Really Need a Good Internet Connection, Ill Tinker With It And See What I Can Do, Merry Christmas Matey. =D
