jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rail [SK8ING]]

Somewhat average

I've seen a lot better skate movies and I've seen a lot worse skate movies. This is long enough not to be crap, but not well enough produced to be anything more than a borderline protected entry. If you do another one, you could do with improving the graphics a lot and making some of the sounds a bit less random. Add some more bails as well.

Sweet concept

This flash is cool - I'd like to see a series of these. A good concept, decent animation and backgrounds, suitable sounds and a fair selection of funny moments. Definitely worth a look at.

It's a pleasure to get a reviews like yours. Thanks :)

[BF's MDM]

OK MDM movie

This had a nice beat to it, the Mario animation wasn't too bad (but the backgrounds were sketchy - they didn't line up right and needed improvement) and there were a couple of funny twists to it. So so, nothing special but deserves to be protected.

[Old Man]

Why waste our time with this?

This was completely pointless, unfunny, badly made and generally very very poor. I cannot overemphasise how bad this is.

[Hector and Len in The Leg]

Very good movie

This was very good - the best thing about it was obviously the happy hardcore style Bubble Bobble music. A nice storyline, well drawn and animated, but it wasn't massively funny as some people have made it out to be in their reviews. It made be chuckle but I wasn't rolling on the floor laughing. In the end, I watch flash movies to be entertained, and this entertained me a fair bit, which is why it gets an 8.

[Too Many Mario's]

Average parody, poor graphics

The graphics to this were pretty poor, but the rest of it was OK. Nice choice of endings and music, mildly amusing.

[Skate Jam Extreme]

Nice bails

This is a very good skate movie, and I'm surprised it isn't scoring better than it is. Some good bails and tricks, most of the bails were funny and painful. The sound was choppy in a couple of places but that's nothing major. The "balls" bail near the end was hilarious.

[Mickee PLays Billards!]

Not very funny

The graphics were OK and so was the sound, although that got annoying, but there was little humour to speak of. Make a funny movie next time, and learn how to spell billiards.

[Bruce Lee : C64]

Funny stuff

Being around in the old C64 days, I may well have played the original. This was a funny movie - simply drawn, but still classy. It's the first time I've thought (right at the end of the main feature when the ninja goes back and hits him again) it'd be really funny if this happened, then it actually DID happen. The outtakes were a nice add on too.
