jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Banana Phone]

Ring ring ring and stuff

Pretty good entry. I wouldn't say it's great in any particular area, but it's funny and good to watch. Some nice violence touches. Not a favourite of mine but worth viewing.

[Foamy Fan Mail 5 (A.T.A.)]

Not one of the best

It's true, there's been other, better movies. There wasn't much in the way of comedy, and hence was nothing special.

[(HNT) Avoiding the Flames]

Good summary

Hits several nails on the head there. A useful flash to view for any new users, although you really ought to have added a scene with the "BBS rules - read that, that means you, new people!" link highlighted in lots of pretty colours. A good addition to the series.

JujubeLock responds:

Thanks jon, glad to have your support. Maybe today you won't have to lock as many threads as usual. ;)

[HNT: Abusive Reviews]

States the obvious

A pretty good idea of how not to review. It's not easy to review this as it's not a standard flash - technically it's not brilliant, but it puts over some good messages. Some funny images used. It could perhaps have been improved by having a bit of animation and some comic examples of reviewing n00bism, and maybe making it a little longer. A good view overall.

JujubeLock responds:

thanks for the kind words, retired General

[Platforms¹³]

Excellent stuff

Nice, I recall Gravity, and this is a fine follow-up. Breakout rocks. Good choice of music. Might have been better if there was more going on, the pace was a little slow for my liking, but it's nothing to complain about. Can't wait for another one, good job.

[Super Metroid]

Not long enough

What there was of this was pretty good - it was just too short in my eyes. Given the file size, I'd have wanted more than Samus killing a couple of space pirates. Looked and sounded good, the Ridley hideout music was decent (although your sound levels are off - some things are too quiet and others are way too loud). I just hope this becomes a series, it's got potential.

Quimera responds:

Thanks man, well, I didn't know how to use flash as well as i do now, this time i really compressed the filesize at ff but before I didnt know much, taking into consideration I've only got 5 months with flash :)

[Magical Trevor]

God-like genius

Saw this prior to Newgrounds submission through the b3ta newsletter and thought it was great, and just a matter of time before it translates here. Genius, funny loop and good music. Daily feature surely.

[NG Deathmatch 2]

Decent but a bit disappointing

Pretty funny stuff, although I thought the storyline was a bit cliched and could have been better, and the animation wasn't too great, particularly given the large filesize. Fun to watch, but somewhat disappointing.

[Madness Apotheosis]

More godlike genius

The Madness series is one of the highest quality sagas on Newgrounds, and number 4 doesn't fail to disappoint. Although perhaps not quite as good as Avenger, the blend of extreme violence and smooth animation works wonders as usual. Cool music, and a great ending sequence. Classic.

[***BRUCEWILLISISONFIRE***]

Strangely funny

This shouldn't be funny, but it is. Probably shouldn't be watched by those who get seizures, but everyone else should get a bit of a laugh from this. Benny Hill music rules.
