jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Welcome To my Channel And Videos]

What on earth is this? A video telling us your username and nothing else? Make an actual movie.

[If Rappers Had Ordinary Jobs]

Animation is pretty good. Trouble is, like all "_____ animated" videos, they're not your own ideas - it's just using the entire audio and concept of someone else's Youtube video. If this was original I'd like this a lot more.

Enpax responds:

I think one thing you have to understand is that inspiration can come from anywhere. While I didn't come up with the concept, my interpretation of the source material maybe slightly different from the original author's. The same idea can also be found in fan animated music videos that often fill in the blanks as to what images to put on screen while the music is playing. While I'm not claiming to be original with this, I think a well animated fan video is much more appealing than a cartoon with shitty animation and shitty writing that the animator came up with. Not that this is well animated...

[Riverside Mudafucka!]

Hard to rate a stick movie much higher than this, given the actual action doesn't last more than a few seconds, preceded by far too much irritating flashing nonsense. Attacking to the music works well but really needed to be longer.

[Madness Anvil Killer]

Incredibly poor Krinkels ripoff. Animation is limited, it's so slow, sound usage is weak, premise is incoherent. If this was your own idea then it might just be worth a protect, but it isn't, so it isn't.

[First Attempt]

It's not bad, and it surprised me enough not to vote to blam it - there's quite a lot more detail there than most things of this ilk, but I can't give it more than 2 because it's still very limited. No sound, no backgrounds, it doesn't tell any sort of story, and it's not even ten seconds long. A lot of potential here, but try to make into a coherent decent length animation.

[CaptainCarbonara Loop]

Decent enough short loop, I like the music and graphical style, quite cleverly done as a loop.

SuperPhil64 responds:

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[Fatsack: BWDS ep 1]

OK little short with some very nice graphics and animation, and I like the style, it just doesn't do enough for me - there's no story and having a quarter of the movie be credits seems excessive.

chluaid responds:

They're very short because my rule for this series is that each script fits on a collector card. Those cards are Patreon rewards.

[tryhard combo]

Senseless two second Madness loop - no background, no sound, no story obviously, even if you had come up with your own ideas (please do), it still would be nowhere near worth watching.

[I Am The Sand Guardian]

Generally if you're basing something off a vine, you probably shouldn't upload it as there's nowhere near enough content seeing how they're six seconds long. That's exactly what happens here, the drawing/animations are OK but it's over before it starts.

[BSE V6 Round 1]

It's just about passable. It's not an original idea at all, doesn't have a preloader, loops endlessly, and is far too short, but it looks OK and has a bit more detail to it than most stick movies.
