IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ricks Shorts 1]

Not too bad, keep trying

You've got the basics. A bit of sound; a bit of action; some randomness. You need a little bit more story in each episode. I think the animation needs to slow down a little or something.
Some sound effects would be good.

rz-stick responds:

k ty for the advice, bit more sound effects in and some sort of storyline in the next one, thanks for watching

[The Hammerthrow 4]

Good

Thank God for Flash. This amazing program allows you to scribble an idea down, throw in a few sounds and people around the world can LOL!

Obviously, your other reviewers have told you how you could improve the sounds and pictures/background, but perhaps you shouldn't actually change the scribbly people. It is more comfortable to laugh at a scribbly stick- thing than something that looks too real- it is part of the unique style of your hammer-thrower series.

Surely you should have put the same old yellow-shirted sweeper in the curling sketch?!- please try popping him in, sweeping the ice and see what it looks like.

Also, to go back to the Hammerthrower (with all the original stuff, no 'improvements') you could try a sketch where the hammer flies straight at the 'camera' and smashes into the 'screen'.

Muskelchock responds:

Thanks for the great review. I will do thet in the fifth one whit many other sports. The fifth one is gonna have over six different sports. ^^ Thanks again.

[The Hammerthrow 3]

OK stuff

My friend told me about this crappy Flash about a hammerthrow round the world that was so bad he zeroed it- thanks Sam, you introduced me to the excellant Hammerthrow series!

The first three aren't that good in themselves, but instead of groaning about poor this, that and the other, by the time you get to 3 you look forward to the same starting picture and the same crowd sound. The fact that the same sweeper comes to sweep up the blood as was in H1 is part of the humour by now!

Technically, they aren't brilliant Flashes, but H4 is on my favourites list and I look forward to 5

Muskelchock responds:

Thanks for great review (again). To the fifth i will have new sound. Only the same starting picture.

[Revenge Of Abe Lincoln]

Cool, dude

The jukebox bit did it for me- a rare lol.

The whole idea is impressively weird and random (random is good, we like randomness)

I hope the third part will explore a bit more funny semi-history, not just be a bloodfest. I did as you told me and looked back at part 1.

boinky33 responds:

Thanks alot.

[JNMC morrowind ep 1]

OK stuff

OK, so you appologised for not having a preload.

Animation OK but a bit limited. The whole no hands and feet thing does limit the action a bit, but I gather it is part of Clock to do that.

Since I don't know Morrowind I will just judge this technically.

I think you should find a different sound for the swords clashing. the sound you use is a good one for drawing the sword.

The words are not all visible properly on the End/Replay screen- I really couldn't make out the ones on the bottom.

the series has potential. Keep at it. Make a preloader next time, especially if it is longer.

incative-account responds:

thats a fuck load of text for 1 review :S

[Make up an excuse machine]

I agree with Banta

I liked the voices- especially the contrast between the 'people' and the machine. the animation is basic, but what it is supposed to be. Although I quite like short shorts some people are biased against anything very short, so you may have to make them a bit longer to get through. Best of luck

DEWHER responds:

I thank you. Its just shorts for everyday. Maybe ill compile them into episodes..I could have made this longer and even made the PEOPLE look realistic. But that isnt what im going for. later

[\Halloween eCard/]

Excellent

The best short short I have ever seen on Newgrounds.
Despite doing something short and simple you have a good preloader with appropriate spooky colouring on the NG tank; You have not only a PLAY button but a helpful Recommended PLAY button; Sounds excellently appropriate; Animation/Art is basic, but appropriate for the style; and, of course a replay button, which I used over and over again. The only short on my favourites list! Thank you for showing us what can be done without tons of memory, which goes down well with non- broadbanders like me!
DO MORE!

Jemooky responds:

:D best review yet!
I'm glad you liked the way I presented the movie. Oh, and thanks for noticing the halloween themed Newgrounds logo. I spent quite a while trying to get that to look right.

And don't worry, I fully intend to continue animating.

[Sadness And Sorrow]

Interesting and memorable

Love the animated Newgrounds tank loading thing- you beat me to it! the style is impressive and the music is atmospheric. Some of the images were not very clear, but you can work on that. Good stuff. Keep it up

7-Twisted-7 responds:

Thx for giving me advice and telling me it suks in a non harsh way i appreciate it man.
