iX's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

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.

[TANKMEN 2]

Always good for a laugh.

I wonder...has anyone else found the easter egg? Yeah, you gotta do things in flash you don't wanna do. I should know; I've searched for easter eggs.

EDIT 6/20/2020: I have it on good authority that he finally did get that pretty pink birthday cake with his face on it. Proof is in the art portal. Sadly, the conversion got rid of the easter egg; turns out the sniper wasn't really dead, and he tried to drink the Captain's abandoned beer. It apparently tasted like piss, and the sniper should know, because he's drank his own piss.

[The Fall of Sigma Ep. 3]

Well, what a surprise.

There are still traces of....there's no other word for it, "noobishness"...but anyone can tell you definitely put a lot of effort into this. You deserve every star you get.

9/10, 4 in the Portal.

[Blockhead: Episode 9]

What a leap!

The level and depth of animation from Episodes 8 to 9 is one helluva jump. I confess myself thoroughly impressed. O-o

Keh, good to see Blockhead's up to his good ol' shenanigans. ^^

[Super Mario bros Z ep 6 (old series)]

I'm at a loss.

My expression was something akin to Luigi's as that great ball of burning death energy came down upon the island. Just...wow. Now I have to fix the hole in the floor where my jaw dropped through.

I'm sure you've heard it a dozen times already, but as far as sprite animation goes...you are a god.

Bonus points for actually using the 9000 meme. That just took the cake.
