jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tip #1-Loafing]

Dear god, why is this rated so high?

This was massively unfunny, with poorly put together sounds and no point to it at all. Only good point was the graphics which were above par. I've seen many, many better shorts than this.

[Stick Schtick - Gun]

Average, overrated

Sure it makes a point. But the flash itself wasn't great. It was way too short, and unspectacular. Could have done with more humour and being longer. This is something you'd watch once, think it's OK then not watch again.

[Chicken Runs]

Nice short

It was ok in most respects, but it was too short. A good movie really needs to rely on more than one joke or pun, unless it's absolutely hilarious. This was somewhat predictable, so it only gets half marks.

[Funday gets Killed]

Simple but effective

Cheers for the pointer in WI/HT - it's OK, nothing great, deserving of what it's got at the moment. Could have been a bit longer.

[Bus Stop]

Real short, real funny

I've not laughed so much in ages. The people are just standing there at the bus stop, then random violence and carnage ensues. It's so simple but it's very effective, and one of the best movies of its ilk on NG. Nice job!

[running man]

OK for a first movie...

It's a bit short and unoriginal, but it's done fairly well, and for your only movie it's alright. Some OK graphical effects in use, and simple sounds. It's nothing you haven't seen before, but you won't be disappointed unless you're expecting the spectacular.

[Online Assasin(teaser)]

Teaser looked OK

Shame I can't seem to find the finished version, so I'll guess you didn't do one. Which is a pity, as this looked like it had promise. If you did do a full version, please point it out to me.

[Top VII]

Original stick deaths

Was curious to see this in the most recent 50, then remembered the portal changes... anyway, there were some funny, original stick deaths in there. A couple were predictable, and the pencil one was crap, but on the whole it was enjoyable. Nicely done, and a pleasure to watch.
