Ivaron's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mutants 3]

Shit, I didn't know episode 3 was out yet

Nice work, both of you :D

Logo sure is a great voice actor, btw.

[Down At Juice Bar]

lmao

Cool, I like intellectual humor. The non-existing house thing was great ... I loved it when he said that because more houses are being built, there are less non-existant ones .. That was really unexpected, and after some thought, really brilliant.

I think, because of that alone, that this was better than the regular BG episodes. Keep it up!

[Make My Boobs 1 More Size]

The only reason this hasn't been blammed..

Is that people actually think you made the song. But you didn't. All you did was make a flash with some images moving around on a funny parody song.
The song is kinda funny, although annoying, but the movie is really really bad.

[Eehhhhhh!]

ehhhhhh! (all i can say is..)

Ehhhhhh!! (very funny)
Ehh (and) Ehhhhh! (I love happy days) Eh! ( :D )

[(2006) Klay Valentines]

Yep, this one is pretty funny..

But it isn't anywhere near as funny as most of your other movies :(

It feels a bit more like "oh hey, let's make a valentines day flash" than genuinly being inspired to make something funny. Shame..

It's still a cool flash, though :)

Graphics: 8. It may not be drawn, but it's optimized very well.
Style: 9.
Sound: 7. Would have been an 8, but the crying was really hurting my ears lol.
Violence: 3. Two arrows and half a body!
Interactivity: 0. It's not a game :D
Humor: 8. Pretty good, but not as great as most of your other movies.
Overall: 8. Yeh, only the humor really matters when it comes to claymation.

[I miss you Daddy]

nice :)

The song is by a Dutch person, with the actress name "DO". It's not about 9/11. It's not even about a dead person, I think. It's about love.. the use of "heaven" is just to describe love.. Then again, I'm not sure, but that's how I picture it.

Regardless, the Flash is very beautiful. It was a little too long, perhaps, but that shouldn't matter.

[Lost Rhapsody]

YES!!!

Lost rules! Weird Al rules! Bohemian Rapsody rules! Polka bullshit rules! This flash ........ it rules :-D

Well done, dude! I couldn't stop laughing after the "little high, little low" part :P

[Pico Collaboration]

Great,

but I don't get it .. isn't Pico supposed to be a kid or something, after all, the original game was about him in school or summa? Is this like an adolescent Pico version?

Anyway, the first movie was surprisingly great! The second movie was good too, just a little too much on the tweens, though. I think alot of it would have turned out better with FBF animating. The graphics themselves were pretty good, it just looked as if he was a little lazy in animating them.

I didn't like the song, but it fitted the animation in both cases, so I'm giving that an 8. The graphics for the first animation get a 9, the second gets a 7, which makes it an 8.
Violence: 9, 'cuz there was some sweet action in there. Interactivity gets a 10; there was a menu and selection 'n shit, and even a code for the secrets. What more could one ask out of a movie?
Humor; well I didn't really see any humor in it, so 0 for that, but np it was more a 'cool' type animation than a funny one.

Overall: 9! Well done guys!

BTW: The bonus was pretty unexpected, since I wasn't looking at the names of the clips. Oh well, doesn't do it for me lol.

Anyway, keep up the great work, both of you! :)

[KALO8's landscape tips.]

Great!

There are so many tutorials on actionscripting, using tools and stuff, but yours is probably the first one I came across with tips on how to improve drawing landscapes. The explosion part was a little bit cheesy, you could have added tips on how to make the next part of the explosion without drawing it all over, which sometimes creates a weird effect (skewing and such), but overall great tutorial, it's sure to help alot of people, including me ;)

[Over The Hills]

I'm amazed!! *clap clap clap*

This is an awesome video to "Over the hills and far away"! I love it, dude :)

I just got a few things to mention:

1) it's "back in her arms is where he'll be", not "back in her arms he swears he'll be".

2) There was alot of repetition in the animation. Maybe you could think of using different ways to show the same thing instead of the same everytime at the chorus.

3) Some of the things are too litterally shown. These are:

a) "tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom". It was kinda out-of-place to see a crying sun and cloud :/. You coulda just shown a kind of depressing, dark purple light sunrise or something and leave to rest to the imagination since the lyric is not to be taken litterally.
b) "he knew that it would cost him dear" is not about money but about the 10 years of imprisonment.
c) "he spent his final night of freedom" could have been portrayed by a beautiful star-lit sky.
d) "one day he'll know the taste of freedom". First, you show a moon and this time it's about a day ;). Second, it could have been shown with a pretty image of cheerfulness, or kids playing in the sunlight or something.
e) "she prays he will return one day" could have been shown by the woman with tear-drops in her eyes or something.

4) the characters land cars ook kind of out of place with the backgrounds. Almost as if you put more effort into the background than into the characters. The animation is perfect, it's just the character art that looks a bit out of place.

5) Everytime there's a something like "they said" in the lyrics, you've drawn the character saying these things. Not too bad, but the lip-synching going on after Tarja's stopped singing. I suggest doing something else with the beat until the next lyric comes along :)

6) You went a little off from the song by introducing a new story to it; him being forced to rob the shop. However, that doesn't fit in, because the original intention is that he had an alibi but didn't use it because he "spent his final night of freedom" (i.e. at the time of the robbery, since he got caught the day after) "with the wife of his best friend". Although, I do love that part where it strays off from the song, just a shame it doesn't *completely* fit. But I think it's the best part, though.

Anyway, great video, magnificantly done! And my comments, they're really just nitpicking, I love this. But hey, that's what reviews are for, eh? ;)

And last but CERTAINLY not least: POWER METAL RULES!!!!!!!
