jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[test002]

Congratulations, you can rip off Krinkels for two seconds. Come back when you've got your own ideas that are 50 times longer.

[Psycholine]

Fairly contentless preview. The actual game when finished might be OK but it's so short that it gives us no idea as to what the final product will actually look like. Not worth watching.

[way of potato chips]

Heh, that's not too bad. Music is funky, video has an interesting concept even though I can't understand a word of what's being said, would probably be a lot better if it was subtitled although as mentioned the idea was understandable. Something different which is always nice to see. Worth a look at.

[Insects night and day]

A bit short, but it's not without redeeming features. Audio's OK, the thing's actually put together so it works, theme's unusual, graphics aren't the best, but it's probably better than a lot of the junk that gets submitted. Could be ok if the animation and art was tidied up a bit and it was extended.

flashmakeit responds:

Thanks for trying your best to teach me about animation.

6 seconds worth of "animation" that weighs in at 24 meg. There's so little content that it's hard to give a review. If this was actually drawn in Flash using a tablet then it might have ended up being 0.5% of the size and not having killed my bandwidth, and it might have been better to watch, but still not worth viewing.

[GameGrumps Animated Fired]

Unfunny, animation is poor, ridiculously short given that the file is nearly 10 megs, really don't understand the point of this.

Eniladep responds:

Wow, harsh. I used the Swivel program offered by Newgrounds I guess I did not properly format it right considering the big file size.

[Sonic VS Shadow - Flash Test]

Really need to work out that preloader glitch so that it actually works, and then fix it so that it doesn't loop at the end. As for the actual movie, it's not bad, it's just cliched. Actual animation is OK, but there's hundreds of Sonic sprite movies and this offers nothing new.

Ang3LofSp4rK responds:

if you're not going to say anything useful then don't comment on my submissions
as for the movie looping that was an accident but i decided instead of taking out the loop just let it reapeat once and then end but it jiust looped although i set it to repeat and then put it to 0

[Weardomness]

Hmm, interesting. Simple animation style which is pretty smooth, some clever concepts. Way too short and bloated filesize limits this from being anything other than a borderline pass though. Could be an interesting way to animate if you extend things to make it last more than 30 seconds.

kurm1s responds:

it's only 4mb. How is that bloated?
