Icarus-Warrior's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[StarCraft: The Return]

Excellent!

Wow. This is just awesome. First of all I'd like to say excellent work on the first one, but this takes the cake - it was absolutely awesome. And it's not just because of the action, story, things like that - but in the climax of this episode, my heart was really pounding when one of the marines got close to death. It's a talented thing to be able to make people care about your characters - but you've really done it - Excellently. The script writing was fantastic - with all the squabling, and your ability to fit a detailed storyline in a short movie.

If there were any shortcomings, I'd have to say there could be some improvements in the graphics - not all the time of course - sometimes it looked incredible. Also, as much as I enjoyed the accents (I'm aussie), sometimes it seemed a bit odd that everyone had them compared to the real game where everyone had American. Apart from that, absolutely incredible. I'll be looking out for the sequel.

LogFish responds:

Cheers for all that! I'm going to stick with Kiwi Accents now, and blow to everyone who hates them. Not every character in SC has american accents either! (BC for example). I hope you'll enjoy the next one too, sounds like it's going to be difficult to match this one for you :)

Hahaha! They got own3d!

Great stuff! That was hilarious. I really shouldn't be laughing at people just getting totally hurt, but, whatever! Man that was great. The whole idea is just classic. I just can't write what I'm feeling here so I'll just say it was awesome. Great work. It would have been cooler if it was longer with some more ownag3, but as long as you keep making new ones, I'm happy. Once again great work man.

[Star wars madness request]

Wow! Superb! This is gonna rock my world!

I love Star Wars! I love Madness! This is the two combined! I'm shaking at how cool and how wonderous the full version of this is gonna be. Luckily for me, I don't have to worry about it making mistakes, or problems with sound, because I know this movie is in safe hands. Your obviously an expert on Madness and Star Wars!
Although I did notice that the lightsaber hilts were modeled off the movies, you can type in "lightsaber" in google images and the fourth one there leads you to access of most of the lightsabers in the entire saga.

Sorry if you've already got one of these sites!

MarkArandjus responds:

Dang!
I did not see that.
No I just typed something like Obi's saber and you get a pic of a model or something.
Nice pics though, this could help.
Aww look at Yoda's saber. It's so small and cute! HEHE
Nope no madness or star wars expert.
Infact this is ym first madness animation EVER.
Not even a small tiny thing before this. Not even practice stuff. I just like to do my homewrok when I go do something. It did however take me a while to develop my lightsaber animation. And it just got better, so even better saber guaranteed.

Thanks for the link and review!

[Revenge of the Jedi]

What a bloody awesome film!

Jesus! That was some cool dueling. Some funny lines, but next time I would just leave them out. The jokes were funny but I didn't think they mixed well with that action. The graphics showed the fights in detail and you can't ask for much better than that! The sound was nice and crisp and I loved the everynow and then lines from Darth Vader and Luke when they call out a "I'll never turn to the dark side." The music fit the fight very well, however it didn't sound much like John Williams! That isn't to say the music wasn't absolutely rockin' and fit perfectly with the action.
A great piece of art, I just suggest making a button at the start of the movie so it doesn't start straight away.
Good Job.

LeviFolds responds:

i put that fight scene together before i did the intro and outro so i had the music all set for that . but i wanted to recreate the intro to the movie with the john williams score . thanks for the fair score anyhow . but yeah, with the dialogue i was going for cheesy and as far as the spoken lines within the movie, i recorded them straight from the movie and put them in to sound like one of those remixes from a movie with dialogue mixed in . extra points?

[Random movie #2]

Pretty Cool

Hehe. Nice movie. Great Randomness. It was smooth and sleak. And that music is so catchy. Nice. It's a good song. Hail Linkin Park. So excellent work!

swizard responds:

:) tnx

[R_A_G_E]

Scary!

This was a pretty scary movie. I was freaked at the moment the words of "killed" and "attacked" and when the heart-beats came in my eyes were wide open and i had the mouse cursor on the x incase of any real scary things.
Frankly, i don't like scary movies, but this was ok. I liked your style of graphics(the sketchy ideas). I've also been reading others reviews and been looking at the way uve reacted to them. You keep your cool excelently and I especially like what you said about the_penis_empire.
You handled him well. Any way good job. Now all you need is a profile. You seem like and interseting guy/girl. Let the world know of you.

Xenosteel responds:

hah thanks! your words are really lovely, I fully respect everything you said here :D
.. I know the feeling you get when watching scary things, I used to be hell afraid of those things >.<

hmm maybe I do need to make an NG profile, I'm kinda new to NG.. thanks for saying that I'm 'interesting', lol.. btw I'm a guy :D and yeah I'm usually cool and its very very difficult to piss me off :P

[Ctrl + Z]

Not bad...

This was pretty good. In fact very stylish i thought. A very different style of movie. But just a tip. Use motion tweening. It'll save ur ass with the graphics part. And its ealy easy. By tha way. I checkd out ur profile, and it said u hadn't submited anything. Now thats weird since im here reveiwing ur flash now. Anyway. Good Job! Make a sequel. Make more movies. And keep makin jokes!

Instinkt responds:

Thank you very much, you can be sure there's more stuff on the way.

[The Magic Deathmatch 1]

This was pretty cool!

Well first off, the only way i got to this flash was from ur reveiw on turd of the week. Anyway, this was cool, with cool little guys fighting dragon-ball z style. And it was all cool and fast. The graphics sumwot remind me of The battlefield. But thats not a bad thing so good job! :)

Sluf responds:

From my post on turd of the week ^^ haha, well perhaps i was a bit too rough, but what the hell... Yes i know, guess me and Ringfinger is both a bunch of lazy bastards (exept from that his movies is 5 times my movies) Actually it weren't ment to be dragonball styles, but more like mages, but as long as it gives a illusion of mystic and energi filling the air with static power, thats cool.. i guess?
Thx for your nice review

[Psi-Training: Telekinesis]

Yeh it was pretty cool

Good job. I think it was well made with a nice frame rate. Unfortunately i didn't understand the story(if there was one of course). But, heck it was pretty cool. Hope to see more of ur animations in the future

Naetis responds:

Ay. Thanks. Well there really wasnt a story... It was just supposed to be clips from Psi-Training..
