jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Incident : 001]

Has a decent bit of length to it, animation is OK. Only barely worth protecting because it's completely unoriginal and has horrific audio, with your own characters and style I'd probably give this 3/5 or so

That's true

[Chibi Intro]

Do not upload intros. Upload intros followed by actual videos. Especially do not upload intros which you will say will be used for an entirely different site.

Thank you for your comment, I did not know that. Complete noob to animation and to newgrounds. Will not do this next time. Should I take it down?

[First Madness Combat Animation]

Such a shame when someone finally makes a first animation and cannot come up with anything original whatsoever. Madness guys killing Madness guys, nothing we haven't seen done better a decade ago, nothing to see here.

EMPHATICX responds:

hey i'm sorry you are that tooth and nail against classic animations, but this is my first after all. all i wanted to do was work with flash and test my skills, and i had a very limited sprite sheet at the time too. trust me in the future i will make some unique animations but for now i just want to get better at using the program.

[Trump Vs. Clinton: Total Annihilation]

Pure genius and a glorious return to the Portal. 5 minutes of hilarity.

[Madness South Korea Combat]

Yet another quickly churned out, uninteresting Krinkels ripoff. Maybe if you spend some more time on it and made one decent one it'd be worth a watch - of course, coming up with your own ideas would be far better.

[If Rappers Had Ordinary Jobs]

Animation is pretty good. Trouble is, like all "_____ animated" videos, they're not your own ideas - it's just using the entire audio and concept of someone else's Youtube video. If this was original I'd like this a lot more.

Enpax responds:

I think one thing you have to understand is that inspiration can come from anywhere. While I didn't come up with the concept, my interpretation of the source material maybe slightly different from the original author's. The same idea can also be found in fan animated music videos that often fill in the blanks as to what images to put on screen while the music is playing. While I'm not claiming to be original with this, I think a well animated fan video is much more appealing than a cartoon with shitty animation and shitty writing that the animator came up with. Not that this is well animated...

[Riverside Mudafucka!]

Hard to rate a stick movie much higher than this, given the actual action doesn't last more than a few seconds, preceded by far too much irritating flashing nonsense. Attacking to the music works well but really needed to be longer.
