IceSage's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rockman!! Next Attack]

Good animation, poor choice in music.

This animation was pretty good. I liked the styles and the choreography. However, it would've been absolutely perfect if you didn't use the Threads of Fate / Dewprism music for it.

Not only is it too familiar to me to recognize it and know it doesn't fit properly... but I personally believe it still wouldn't fit, even if I hadn't know where it came from. A more "rock" or a different style of lighthearted music would've been a better choice for this.

Although, my advice comes two years late... but I just find it disappointing when something great has something JUST a bit off, like out of place music.

Never the less, it's a great animation. Good work!

[TTB Vol. 1 "Time Bears"]

Hilarious concept.

This is a hilarious concept. Bears that time travel... And fight crime...

...and solve mysteries!

The only problem I had with this preview, or "episode" or whatever you want to call it... Is that a couple of music tracks were either cut off, or missing.

I notice you told a previous reviewer that there aren't any sound bugs like this. I'm sorry to say, there are, cause I noticed it too. You might want to check it out. When the bears come flying from the sky, something gets cut off before he says something. Also, the introduction theme gets cut off halfway through.

I voted 5, anyway... Just because the concept alone is pretty awesome.
My review is a 7, though... because it just seemed rather short, rushed... and was missing sound. Also, it's presented in a "WE'RE BACK" type of way... repeated over and over again. But um, I don't even remember the "Time Traveling Bears" well... at all... Ever. Was uh, that the joke? Or what?

altffour responds:

The audio problem was just fixed, it happened when I tweaked something slightly for re-upload.

Sorry about the mistake, glad you voted five.

[: Door Holding :]

Excellent and very true.

I always get the same thing. I hold open the door for people, yet people never hold open doors for me. I mean, I can understand if I'm too far away, but if I'm right behind a person and they obviously know I'm there, that's rather rude to just let it slam in my face.

I too get the obnoxious women who are like, "No no, go ahead. I don't need you to hold open a door for me."

Also, I get the same, but opposite reaction from guys. Like... As a guy, you can't hold the door open for another guy apparently. Even when you do, they HAVE to touch the door themselves to be like, "Oh yeah, hey... by the way, I know how to hold open a fucking door!" They don't say it, but the way it is, it implies that.

Also, I work in retail, and know full well about what you're talking about with the parents who have children in strollers and in the way of stuff, but yet have no regard for their child.

I question the parenting skills of most of the parents I see daily. If I was a parent, my children would come first and foremost. I've seen children trying to talk to their parents, trying to learn and observe about the world around them, asking their parents for some sort of confirmation or acknowledgment about the most trivial things. It takes literally like, 10 times for a parent to respond. What if the kid was being kidnapped?

"Mom... Hey mom."
*silence*
"Uh, mom"
*silence*
...Oh, were you saying something? *child is no longer there*

Way to pay attention to your kids. >_>

[Awesome Video Games Ep32]

AWESOME!

Whoa, at first I was like, "Whoa, what's AVG doing here?" I'm glad you were able to pull off a player in flash format, guys.

Nothing else to say except that AVG is... Awesome.

I'm taking it that other reviewers are disturbed that a video format is here on Newgrounds. Newgrounds can host anything, not just crappy stick figures drawn by 5 year olds.

I'm sure if this video was some 10 year old doing a crappy claymation project, you would've voted higher.

Another thing, I read somewhere that it said it was a ripoff of "Angry Video Game Nerd." ... "Awesome Video Games" is FAR from it... and if I remember correctly, AVG has been around for a LONG time. There's a difference in style... it's a completely different show. It just has to do with video games, which is the only similarity.

These videos already are on YouTube and other sites. However, posting it here is great so it can get more publicity... And I honestly think they pulled it off in a fashion that's great for flash. It had a border around the smaller player, and the quality wasn't damaged too much by it.

Too much crap gets vomited onto newgrounds people don't even realize the difference between something horrible and something good anymore.

Everyone who didn't vote constructively... go back to jerking it to your Pokemon Hentai and Kitty Krew animations...

...or, wait... I think they're the same thing...

FarFromSubtle responds:

Thanks bro. ;)

[Awesomefield]

So very true.

This was awesome.

The graphics were of that of "awesome." But the best part about this was that it was true. The fact that you altered certain scenes made it a lot more fun and hilarious to watch for those of us who already saw the movie. (Like the hobos, haha.)

Awesome work!

[Gerudo Trouble]

Need Voice Acting / Better Music

It could've used some better background music and some voice acting. I suggest you improve upon it. Also, if you do decide to add voices, get rid of the text, it's way too slow. (At least try to mimic the Ocarina of Time style of a textbox if you're going to do an OoT bit.)

Otherwise, not bad.

LinkXRetro responds:

thanks for the review

[Hey Joe]

Aww! Cliffhanger!

Awww. Although it's not much of a mystery of what happens next... I expected more after that. But, it was pretty good, well animated!

Anyway, what did you want? I mean, Newgrounds has a Private Message system you know!

(If you didn't get the joke, my name happens to be Joe.)

Overall, it was worth watching! Good job!

Slackman responds:

Very funny, and the commentary is well appreciated. Thanks for watching.

[Badly Drawn Dawg Series 1]

Cute

I thought it was a cute series. Entertaining music as far as well, the music for something like this would go. That little champ sure doesn't give up!

However, one thing that bothered me about this. It's "Badly Drawn Dog" not "Badly Recorded Ear-Piercing Audio." You, might want to tone down the barks next time. >_>

Either way though, I thought it was amusing. =D

[WarpZone does ClockDay!]

Awesome!

Oh wow. That was actually pretty awesome! Like, that's way up there in my book! Awesome job! Happy Clockday 07!

[Talking Hat]

Amusing

Now, honestly, I thought it was amusing. However, the audio was rather poor and I couldn't really hear things too clearly.

The pencil sketches are good however I would suggest putting some more work into the animation, by adding color to it in some sort of fashion, and even the crappiest background would suffice to add some extra flavor.

With some extra effort, this could be WAY up there. But for now, it looks to me just like a work in progress, a small idea that could one-day enter a new era on newgrounds.

...OR something.

Mandalorian-Jedi responds:

COLOR IS EEEEVVVIIIILLLL!!!! I'd rather stick to black and white... and I don't wanna be a new era on newgrounds... remember that kid who did numanuma? I don't wanna become that...
