jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[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 :)

[-TheTrio-]

Very good, if a bit dull

Nice work on this pox - it looks very nice, and the music fits in well with the piece. Clearly a lot of work went in to this and a daily award seems about right. I just found the whole flash a bit boring to be honest - the pace was fairly slow and not a lot happened. Well made and worth watching, but it never really grabbed my attention.

poxpower responds:

actually, you're better to just download the song and listen to that all the time. When I first got it from the web, I listened to only that for like 2-3 days straight.

song title - the trio

[BEEBO part 9]

A welcome return of a classic series

Wasn't expecting another Beebo episode at all, so this comes as somewhat of a surprise, and it's great like the rest of them. Keeps the classic formula of random violence and smoking cats, with another crazy storyline. I thought it ended quite abruptly, and would have been better if it had gone on for another couple of minutes, but it's still high quality stuff. Nice!

fabulous999 responds:

Next episode will pick up where this left off.

[lll_AH Tribute_lll]

Decent tribute

Not bad - a little short I thought. Music was OK but the Close Encounters loop rapidly became annoying. Graphics were good in some areas but average in others. Story is OK, but as I said earlier, there's not enough of it. Fans of AH should like this, it's better than average.

alexsmolik responds:

First of all, thanks, I'm glad you rather liked it. I thought the Close Encouters loop was a thing I HAD to add. If I make it longer, first of all, I ran out of ideas and of patience, wich isn't my virtue lol. Too bad I guess ... Anyways, I admit the drawings were rushed a bit in some scenes ! :)
Thanks for the review !

[Crazy Train]

Passable but dull

Good choice of track but the movie did nothing for me really. Best towards the end when the guitar solo gets going properly, but it never gets better than average at any part. The drawings were poor and the animation was basic, the movie is lacking in many respects.

papaKLATZ responds:

Like I said I made it four months ago. Don't not watch my next movie because this one wasn't good. I know it wasn't great, I only submitted it for the hell of it. Thanks for your honesty though...

[_gRet sWaMi eDDiE bALiN!]

Fairly funny short

Not bad, the punchline at the end with the "too short" button is pretty cool. Lipsynching was a bit out, but the sound was OK apart from that. Looked nice, liked the effect with the mousetrails. Worth a look.

eddiebalin responds:

my penis is worth a look too.

[A Protection Movie]

Nice protection movie

Pretty good - shame Da_Dinictus' movie was already about, if only just. The music was great and fitted perfectly. Excellent work, it would be cool if both movies could be used and it's random which one you get if you're the saviour.

altr responds:

Would be nice...thanks...

/me holds breath, dies 42 times =D

[War!]

Poor, unoriginal

Next time you do something, think carefully about the structure of the fight - this was all over the place, I couldn't work out whether it was supposed to be done in a DBZ style, ninja-esque or what. Coupled with the sloppy drawings and bland backgrounds, there's not many redeeming features to this flash. The preloader gives you a good idea of what to expect. If you don't like it, don't watch the flash.

wallpaperman responds:

the preloader? it has a load bar and percentage thingy! you don't even know how hard it is to make flash

[Oh Saviour!]

Great!

Haven't seen it yet from voting, but this is a sweet flash. Short and simple, but looks cool and the music is superb. A fine addition to Newgrounds.

Da-Dinictus responds:

Thanks ^_^

[The Toon With No Name!]

Poor. Very poor.

What the hell was that? It makes little to no sense for the most part, there's no sound, and it's too short. Some of the graphics look OK but there's not enough animation and in places it looks poor. With more time and effort, this could have been alright. Sadly, it isn't. And learn how to spell.

underscore responds:

ok i'm sick of saying this now I'M DESLETSIC (or however u spell it) it means i find it REALY hard to spell and read! I'm sorry that my spelling isnt right but its the best i can do!
