jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Proto-Deu$]

Intriguing trailer

The start looked promising as thought this could be quite interesting, then it started with a load of irrelevant clock crap. The music playing at the end was good. It's hard to comment as the scenes are very disjointed. You need to improve the computer voices as well, they were unclear and hard to understand. Continue with the series, just make sure there's a clear plotline and it's funny and interesting.

Johnny-Cancer responds:

Gracias.

[Banana's Switch]

Good for a quick laugh

It's short and funny, no more than you can ask from this sort of movie. I liked the music, and the ending was cool. Graphics were good. Don't know what else to say, I've covered most things. Nice job with this.

Da-Dinictus responds:

Thanks. Yeah, that was the general idea.
Should've uploaded earlier, if it wasn't for the fact I couldn't even enter NG for almost a day and a half. >=(

[freedmen's last smoke]

Random violence, not much else

The guy's a drug dealer. His head explodes. Not much else happens. When I say not much else, I mean nothing. Drawing is OK, but this movie is really pointless, has no plot and lasts three seconds. And I couldn't find the easter egg. If there was one.

noneforall responds:

that was kinda the point... random violence... and if you have dial up you already got the easter egg...look in the window tho

[Wario: In Space]

Funny stuff

It's a below par concept, but funnily enough it works well and is quite funny. The Wario animation is good, and the sounds aren't too bad either. A nice short, does what it says it will.

DurianClock responds:

Haha Violence: 2.

[Skate...]

Good music, short film

Second scene was definitely better than the first, which to be honest stank, but it was too short generally. A lot of skate movies have more stunts, which are easier to see and animated better. At least this had a couple of bails in it, and had some fine music.

MikE7 responds:

well i thought so to but i dont care.
i'll put better music (i have kazaa back!!!) and adding on to it is getting less and less "fun"

[A Lesson For Life]

Good job! Nice death!

Liked this - nice idea, simple and effective. Good drawing, sound quality wasn't fantastic though. A little bit predictable in that you can work out that someone is going to die, it's just a question of how. I didn't guess right though - I was going for some sort of bus-related violence. The moral of the story is one we should all follow. Keep up the good work!

BAFA responds:

Thanks :D That was a most cheerfull review ^_^

[Death-Duel No.2]

Nice sword fight

I didn't see the first one so I can't compare, but this looked OK. The background music worked well and the animation was good. Some nice ideas with the different attacks and effects. The problem I had was the movie wasn't going anywhere, it had no sense of direction. If some people were fighting with the swords or something it would have been better. It's alright at the moment, but I'm sure you can make it better!

Cypher responds:

Thankyou. Characters will be coming soon.

[Format and J3nnica say hi]

It's alright I suppose

I didn't think this was anything better than average - it was too short, and the graphics and sounds weren't great. But hey, it's OK for a quick laugh and it's not doing much harm, so I'll give it 5.

MetaphorcE responds:

what do you mean the graphics weren't great? and how could the sounds not be great? awww man...
All I'm saying is... if you are going to say stuff like that, tell me how I could improve on each aspect.

And shortness should not be an issue. Read wade's comments on this weeks turd of the week.

Oh well, thanx for your review :D

[FBF Deaths]

Nice stick deaths

Unoriginal, but well done. The animation was slick, and the deaths looked good. This is a nice flash! Five deaths to choose from, for the price of one!

Satoshiji responds:

Thanks =)

[Simple Simple Ep.1]

Just about passable

There's a couple of funny moments here, but it's just too short to be anything special. The sounds, instead of being cool like in MK, were just poor and inaudible, but the graphics were OK. Next time, try making it a bit longer, as you've clearly got some good ideas.

Sargasm responds:

The sounds were poor just because I couldn't find a good rip-off-MK-sound-archive! *laugh*
Thus home-made crappy sounds. (I had to match the quality with the movie... simple)
