jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dulusion 2]

Poor random animation

I have no idea what the hell that was supposed to be - it was just a load of random disjointed effects which weren't interesting in the slightest. I guess if you're stoned or something it might look not as bad. Still bad, but not as bad as this actually is. No humour, plot, nothing. Poor.

[Quadradic Formula = Fun!]

Crazy stuff, but very funny

This is the sort of random insanity that works well and is perfect for NG. Crazy music track, mental animation and all round madness. Makes no sense, but that's what's good about it! The quadratic formula is indeed fun!

[Mario Brothers - Part III]

Disappointing stuff

Like someone else said, this was just boring. There's some plot development, but I just found that the movie wasn't going anywhere or telling me anything new in the series, and given the lack of action, this is somewhat of a step backwards. I'm sure it will be rectified in the next episode, but this one isn't too good in my eyes.

[Saria's Song(Evolution)]

Good music, poor everything else

Needs a lot of work - the music choices were good but every other aspect was pretty poor - there can only have been about 20 frames of animation in the whole movie, it lasted far too long and wasn't funny. Add to that the pointless background and the messed up credits and there's not many reasons to watch this.

[Couldnt Think]

Another good violent short

It's rather crude and basic, but I liked it. Graphics weren't spectacular but worked well, sound was good, and there's comedy violence that I found funny. A lot of people will think this sucks but I'd say it's above average.

[Suicidal Men]

Nice selection of four shorts

I've seen stuff like this before, but that doesn't make this any less good. Four suicidal shorts, didn't like the third one but the rest were OK. Individually they were on the short side but cumulatively it's OK. Liked the graphical style, simple but effective.

[Scarce Reality]

For a trailer it's OK

Not a bad trailer - it would make me want to watch the following movies. The stills you use are well drawn, and the background music is good. It doesn't tell you much, but for once that's not a problem in a weird way.

[The Dojo]

OK short

It's fairly short and plotless, but I found it funny which is good enough. The graphics looked good and the sounds were clear enough. It's not bad considering its age at all, worth looking at.

[Plane Crash]

Way too short

It's over far too quickly, and that plane looks like something you'd make whilst watching Blue Peter when you're six - it's not very interesting at all. Too short and no plot.

[The Zombie Takeover]

Very good seasonal movie

You've done a good job with this, although I suspect if you'd have released this a month later rather than right near Halloween it wouldn't be scoring quite so highly... the graphical style is great. Lots of attention to detail, it looks very nice and somewhat spooky. Sounds weren't bad at all. It's not one of my favourites but it's a very good effort which has paid off with the results it's got.
