jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Introducing: The Telephone and InPerson]

Heh, pretty interesting concept and art style, not normally the sort of thing I'd watch here but it's worth a quick look.

[Falling Leaf Animation]

Animation's OK, it's a bit minimalistic though and it's not really the sort of thing I come to Newgrounds to see, seven seconds of a leaf falling isn't that interesting.

Artbyazpen responds:

Okay! I appreciate your candor! I posted it mainly as an introduction to the basics I've been learning. I'll try and post more interesting stuff in the future! Thank you!

[SPACE COCKS]

Decent enough acid trip style Mario Kart with chickens type of video, looks gorgeous and is animated real nicely with a great bit of soundtrack on it, only real drawbacks are it's a bit on the short side for a movie with this rating and if anything it becomes a bit too non-sensical midway through. Still worth the watch

[Sonic vs Knuckles Fight]

Pretty mediocre, it at least has a little bit of length to it, backgrounds, sounds (although the end effects are awful), there's a fair bit of animation - the only thing is that nothing much of anything happens - it's a sprite movie, we've all seen these dozens of times, it needs more than just Knuckles hitting Sonic once

[madness combat in real life]

It's a little bit different, so I'll give you a protect as it's at least a little bit quirky, still the same old thing though

[Madness day 2018:killer]

Madness Day was last month. Upload it on time and this low quality Krinkels ripoff which is just the same old Madness guys killing each other might do better.

[The Incident is comming]

Wait, what? This seems to be a preview of a Krinkels ripoff, which you would expect to be a minute long given that the movie is a minute long, but 75% of the movie is blank? Stop wasting everybody's time, we do not need to see any more Krinkels ripoffs, we do not need so see trailers which are padded with nothing to make them seem more substantial than they actually are, just complete this, post it, then come up with your own characters and move on to new things that people might be interested in seeing.

[Madness Test Animation 3 RE]

Madness Day or no Madness Day, if it's a test it's incomplete and shouldn't be uploaded.

[Madness Incident]

Meh. It's a bunch of Madness guys shooting each other. It has some length, has some backgrounds and is generally well animated with backgrounds, sounds and everything, but it's not anything that Krinkels didn't do better a decade ago. Make your own characters and ideas with the skills you have and you'll do far better rather than swimming in a sea of shit ripoffs.

StHeromax responds:

Yeah, I know that the animtion has no plot at all, but I already have some ideas to realize, characters and a lot of things that I want to do, but I can't because of low skill. Of coarse, I won't stop only on idea that some mad guys are shooting each other without any reason. Next time I will try to make some plot before to make fights look at least less pointless.

[#Flip challenge]

So after we cut through the intro, which takes up half the length of the movie, we just have some Madness guys doing uninteresting things. Boring and unoriginal. At least it has OK sound and isn't just a plain background, but if you'd have used your own characters and made the movie actually 25-30 seconds rather than 10 you'd score a lot higher.
