jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[pengin power]

Hmm, interesting

Doesn't make much sense but it's nicely made and looks decent. It's a bit short and loops jerkily though.

[The Ultimate Showdown]

Good, but hugely overrated

I liked it, but I can't see why this is rated so highly. It's a catchy song, but everything else around it is pretty average - the animation and art aren't brilliant by any means, it's not that funny or violent... the flash is just lacking something that you'd expect from something in the alltime top 50.

[Splash Attack]

Real funny stuff

A very nice way to take the magikarp meme and take it to the hoop in flash form. Basic but funny as hell.

[Madness Antipathy]

Flash animation doesn't get better than that

Pretty much summarising everything in the title - the Madness series has consistently been one of the great features of Newgrounds and this installment doesn't disappoint. Possibly the best selection of music and effects I've seen, ultra violent and stylish as ever. Probably one of my all-time favourites.

[Cat Stapler 2]

Actually quite funny

The clever mix of cats and staplers make for a surprisingly funny submission. The sound could have been looped better though.

[Snakes on a Plane in 30]

Disappointing

I was expecting one of those movies where you see about ten or fifteen different scenes from the film very quickly, rather than just two screens, namely a plane and a bloke sitting in said plane with a snake. The production's average but that's about it, it's really not worth watching.

[Snakes on a Plane-TRAILER]

Excellent comedy parody

This is funny stuff. One of the better parody flashes I've seen here, it looks and sounds good and is full of decent cliches. Well worth looking at whether you've seen the film or not.

[Mario Twins (official)]

Interesting parody

Very much a different style of parody to most Mario flash that's seen here, and that's probably a good thing. Comical soundtrack, basic but well-made animation that's stylish and funny enough to merit a decent mark. Perhaps showing age a bit but worth a look at.

[666...667??]

Decent short

Not a bad little short, funnier than most that get submitted. You might want to work on the sound levels a bit and look to add some more complex animation in future movies, but it's worth a look at.

[Just because...]

Terrible

Not even sure how this managed to pass judgment, it's awful in pretty much every respect - there's little to no animation, the graphics aren't great, there's no violence and it's not funny. The sound loop is OK but that's the only tolerable thing about it. Complete rubbish.
