IceDragon64's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[LunaRose 1-6]

Like it

Very good art, story & sound. OK music

Animation so-so- There is nothing actually wrong with what is there, but the avoidance of animation gets a bit tiresome in a movie of this level.

The dialogue is mildly amusing and different. I am glad to have the detailed explanation that is in the notes, but really the movie should stand alone, without needing notes to explain itself.
I have to say that even after a replay, I had difficulty figuring out who the characters are, exactly, though I suppose that doesn't really matter- I will assume that becomes clearer in future episodes.
The voices are good quality - Though the pirate, although it is clear, has an inconsistant, weird accent- I decided to think of it as part of the humour.

Always good to have subtitles, despite clear speech, thank you. Glad they were well-written.

Lots of potential- I look forward to more.

Always put a replay button at the end.
Don't forget to encourage people to watch early episodes before viewing later ones by putting links in at the beginning. As you create new episodes, put links in the earlier ones so they go direct to the later ones.

Crintleod responds:

Thanks for your extensive feedback, it is very much appreciated.

If it will help, I can sum up the characters in one word.

Naylu - the conspirator
Stradiff - the beatnik
Klyzed - the preacher
Pharris - the gangsta
Ghenter - the snitch
Yori - the goth

And also thanks for giving me the idea of linking this video to earlier episodes. I will get to work on that right away!

[StrawberryQuest]

Fun

I would prefer something with a little more actual animation, but yeah, SBC stridding roudn the whole world, into SG, into NG; turning everyone into clocks- its quite good

Couldn't make out what Tom was saying, which might have helped, otherwise OK.

XenonMonkey responds:

"Adrien Brody, Adrien Brody."

[Death Star: The Nick Name]

Its all good

There's nothing really wrong with this- The sounds, art, animation voices etc are everything they need to be and it is funny, especially if you are familiar with SW.

Its a one-scene gag, so it doesn't need much, but it does have some length- a little character creation.

The voices are not always easy to hear, but then they would be hard to hear with all that gear on!

I like it- do more!

Dosensuppen responds:

You're always too kind, Ice.

[Soup of the Day #4]

Interesting mix

Yeah, I like you guys! A nice variety of styles etc.

The whole thing works quite well, with quite good images and sounds. Obviously some show much more effort than others, but that's OK.
Is there any truth in Canned's story that the Soups existed before?

Don't worry that you share a lot of things with the Ocks- you are called the Soup Squad, people expect that. If you keep going you will create your own identity. Just use camera angles, closups and patience and you will get there!
Check out the Dock Division- they are small, but quality.
Go Soups!

SoupSquad responds:

Thank you very much Ice D. And some of us do love the Dock Division.

As far as Canned's thing. As much as he wishes it was the truth, no. The Soups are a very new crew, but for the sake of fantasy, propaganda, and entertainment, he designed it into a Soup religion. Which, as many people know, can be a huge fantastic but skeptical sounding story. Fact of fiction.

The soups will continue to try to design their own style.

[[Soup] Taco Gets High]

Not much to it

its messy, its too short and simple, it has no credits and its generally dissappointing.

If you are sorry, why are you submitting it?

It does look like bananas are coming out of its rear.

However, as I was writing this review, with the music playing and the movie out of sight, the silly song kinda grew on me!

so I upped the score from 3 stars to 4 !!

I suppose it is cheerful and I've seen a lot worse here. What does Nyan Soup mean?

SoupSquad responds:

Memes. It was for fun.

[1FPS Collab]

boring

I ve seen much worse here, but still, nobody managed to do anything with 1 fps that was really worth watching. Each to their own, I'm glad you had fun anyway.

Funny song in Canned's

I will go and have some soup, though!

Little-Rena responds:

You do something with 1FPS, please.

[[Soup] Pico Soup]

Good

Continue to develop the Soup theme. Its interesting.
Its got good art, animation and OK sound.

I was dissappointed with the very end. I realise that you were going for a noir film, but still...
I would hope to see a more powerful and exciting transformation as the soup becomes a living Soup character. Why does he look so miserable, when being a Soup is surely so wonderful?

Please consider changing this as it could be so much better.

Go Soups!

Dosensuppen responds:

I admit, the ending is rather disappointing. Rushing is helpful to no one. Think this flash as the founding style for the current soup style. If you check the first two Soup flashes, they lacked in design.

I like to believe the Soups evolved from this near emotionless avatars to something of emotion and character now. Taco is an open homosexual and Can is his friend. Though, the others are a bit more untouched.

I will not change this animation, but if time goes on, I will add on to a story. What I done now is what built things up and should be archived as a final product.

[Soup: Throwback to Future]

woah!

The highest score I have given to a crew movie in a long time.

Its got story, lore, art, animation, SFX, Endless Handbag- what more could one want. If I wasn't loyal to my own crew, I would be tempted to join you.

I like the idea of the old crews world being b/w and yours being colourful. It reminds me of the Wizard of Oz. Loved seeing those crew images again, like the AA. The timing was great making things happen to certain sounds in the EH music.
Liked the images you gave your soups, with good animation and lip sync

Shame the effect of the uzi(?) shooting the luger(?) was so lame.
The speech is hard to hear. I replayed and still couldn't make it all out- subtitles needed.

Go soup squad!

Dosensuppen responds:

Actually, there was no shooting involved there. The former Uzi Union member was speaking to the former Glock Group member. You must keep in mind, many "ock" types have items for faces. Glad you enjoyed it, mister IceDragon. And I respect that you are very loyal to your own group, but if you ever want to partake in a collab, group to group, I would love to do so.

Also, the endless handbag has always been difficult to make out for some people. :p

[[Soup] Truth of Osama]

Gosh wow!

Its got effort, its got camera angles, animating skill, voices, personality.
Is this really the product of something called the Soup Squad?

No, seriously, its good. Its like a cross between an Ock movie and Tankmen. I hope your crew continues to create new and original movies, with their own destinctive style.

Best Wishes to the Soups from the Dragons & Spirits

Dosensuppen responds:

I've always seen this particular flash to be a watered down version of Tankmen, or I have during the development. But hey, I enjoy gay jokes. I think you hit the nail on the head. Probably would have been better if it wasn't made in a single day.

And best wishes from Soup Squad to Dragons & Spirits.
