iX's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[abscess]

Don't let it go to your head.

You'll see a lot of reviews that will have a score of 10 and say the work is flawless. Those same reviews will bash the people actually leaving good critique (like Maud-dib's review, which is sadly being voted down).

Do not listen to those reviews.

If someone raises the red flag, then it's time to step back and take a look at why that person said something bad about what you've created. Good artists have gone bad because of a mindless, brown-nosing fanbase.

Don't let the good reviews go to your head. Take them with a grain of salt.

Now, what did I think of this? It was weird. It was well-animated. It didn't cater to my personal tastes. Next time, make something that actually makes sense. Don't just show off.

6/10, 3 in the Portal.

why did you feel the need to write this review

why did you assume that i would suddenly become a bloated piece of shit because i got front-page on some shitty movie that has no point

are you honestly that gay

[Awesome Crossing Redux]

OH. MY. GOD.

Egoraptor turns into Jesus in 7 years? IT ALL MAKES SENSE TO ME NOW!!

I would go on about accepting you as my lord and saviour but that'd make me sound weird. No hard feelin's.

10/10, 5 in the Portal.

[Public Aura-noucement]

... xD

WAT.

No, seriously, that was chuckle-worthy. Short, but lol-inducing. Brief, but funny. There's a few more synonyms that I can't think of right now.

8/10, 4 in the Portal.

[MusicBot: Harder, Faster]

Plenty of words...

...to describe it. Clever, unique, original, instant-classic, the list goes on.

Now all we need is for someone to build a real, working version of MusicBot. :D

10/10, 5 in the Portal.

[Tankmen Infinity]

Wonderfully emulated.

Easily the best Tankmen submission to date. You had dick jokes, and you had all the original characters plus some new ones. The only thing that could've made it better would've been to have JohnnyUtah himself in the voice casting.

I must confess I thought Tank Girl was actually one of the guys with a rack, rather than an actual girl. Mostly because of the chin. <_<;

10/10, 5 in the Portal. Make a sequel!

[The Hardware Store]

I was like ":D", then I was like "D:"

You cut it out right at the best part. What was there fit the song perfectly, to be honest. You really should've animated the next part of the song though, with all the tools and stuff.

Maybe animate it separately and submit it later?

6/10, 5 in the Portal.

Lythero responds:

Maybe *nod nod*

Thanks for the review. And yes, I know. I hate not having the last verse in so I might get it edited soon

[Katar II]

...Urgh.

The only thing I have to ask is why that freak of nature hasn't been bombed or starved to death yet.

8/10, 4 in the Portal.

[Fatal Overdose]

Reminds me of SHOCK.

...And that's about all I have to say. It's not quite up to par with Terkoiz1's SHOCK series. Could've used a wider variety of sound effects, but whatever.

8/10, 3 in the Portal.

[Ragnarok Online D.P. Ep.2]

Hard to say if it's good or bad...

Your animation is great, your style is unique...but your voice acting is rubbish. That's not to say the voices themselves are bad, but they're all different volumes and degrees of sharpness. Not only that, but the tone the actors use doesn't sound dynamic; it sounds too much like a rehearsed act being read off a script instead of a true, captivating presentation. It doesn't sound "in-character."

If you use an audio editing program like Audacity, you can alter the levels of volume so that all the voices sound the same; that way people don't have to crank up their volume to hear one person talk, only to have to hastily wind it back down because the next person's voice is 20 decibels louder. That by itself would be a big improvement. As for sharpness, that depends on the microphone being used; find people with better mics or just ditch voice-acting. Also, a word to the voice actors themselves: practice tones to match the setting and the mood.

tl;dr: Work on voice acting and you'll have a decent movie.

7/10, 3 in the Portal.

Xionico responds:

Thanks for the review XD
and yeah, some of the VA's are going to be replaced for the next episode.
And by your review I take it that the flash's animation work was good so thanks XD

[TANKMEN .5]

Nice backstory.

A good Tankman once said "What's the point of all the action if we don't get any character development?" Just now, you rectified that very same problem, but good.

After Tankmen 2, it was easy enough to find the bonus scene. Be a little more creative on where you hide it. Put it on someone's dick or something. NOBODY will find it there.

9/10, 5 in the Portal.
