jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crazy Dots]

What's the point in that?

I just didn't understand the point of that. I got bored after about a minute, it's just a load of dots being tweened about. Either I'm missing something or this is hugely overrated.

[I Like Chinese]

Alright song

It's not bad - the song's alright and there's a few funny points. Graphics aren't brilliant. Given the age of the submission, it's very good. Not one of my favourites but it made me smile and it's worth a look at.

[Slim Santa]

Very funny Eminem parody

It's not quite seasonal yet, but that doesn't take away from the fact that this is a hilarious parody. I don't know where you got that sound clip from but it's great, and the cartoony graphics and animation just suit the track perfectly. Great job, hope this wins a daily award.

[Stabby's Revenge]

Good cartoon

I hope you do make a series out of this - it was very funny, in a sort of deadpan way. None of the individual elements of the flash were fantastic - the graphics, sounds and story were all good but as a whole it's excellent. Definitely needed some violence, but the ending still worked well.

[On the Computer]

What was that?

I have no idea what that was supposed to be - just looked like a couple of photos and some pointless soundclip. Not interesting, not funny, not worth watching.

[Retro Preview]

Hmm...

Don't know what to make of that - a poor trailer for a movie that was never made (or was made and got blammed). Dull Transformers style stuff, nothing worth watching, OK short sound loop but that's about it.

[Kung-fu 8-bit fight]

Gotta love kung fu

I love it when people take 8-bit classics and remake them in completely mental ways. Like Kung Fu on acid, this is ultra violent, with a couple of random influences keeping you on your toes. Another fine video game parody for NG viewers to enjoy.

DarkDisguise responds:

Thanks maaaaaan!!!
Another to enjoy?????? naaaaa your kidding me right :D
well saionara Jonthomson

[Newgrounds Jam #1]

Christ that's good

Wow. When I thought it wasn't possible to come up with an original idea on NG, you've all gone and proven me wrong. Each of the five segments are hugely individual in style and content, and are all very good, yet they all stemmed from the same cool piece of music. This is a fantastic piece of flash work. The only small gripe I'd have is that due to the nature of the project, each of the movies seemed a little short, probably because the music wasn't that long in the first place. But that's a very minor quibble. The best thing I've seen on NG for a long time, nice job all of you.

T0MMY responds:

Well, I wanted us to each do a stickman movie featuring Matrix and Dragonball Z parodies, but it's a good thing we came up with something a little more original ;)

The segments do run a little short. The file size is large despite that, but luckily we got in all 5 megs worth.

Thank you for the review!

[smoke kills]

Great stuff

I thought this was going to be one of those annoying anti-smoking propaganda flashes, but it's actually a pretty cool chaos theory type of movie. It's funny stuff, love the way it all gels together and plays out nicely, great musical choices and nice graphics. Brilliant!

[nash feeds on tampons]

Nice short cartoon

Heh, I thought that was pretty funny. Liked the graphic style, reminds me of something good I can't put my finger on. This is one of those movies that is simple in design but works perfectly. Could possibly have used some dialogue but that may have spoiled the simplicity of the cartoon. Good job.
