jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[MK vs. SF 2]

Disappointing

Technically this is really quite impressive, but i just didn't like the whole style of the fight, which seemed cliched and ridiculous in places, and the rest of the flash was pretty dull. With Ryu and Scorpion it ought to be relatively easy to script an awesome fight, this didn't manage it.

[Luis Day Song]

Hahahahahaha, fucking win

This is the best thing you've ever done and it's not close

TomFulp responds:

To think, I could make 365 of these per year instead of wasting my time on epic crap!

[Smash Bros. Tournament]

Showing its age somewhat

Pretty funny in places, but looks really dated and very basic compared to a lot of what you've done recently.

[SSBM: The Knee]

A+++, would watch again

An excellent introductory video to the often overlooked area of SSBM strategy, namely the use of the knee when playing as Captain Falcon. However, there are some problems with this video namely:

a) No matter how many knees you chain together, and regardless of effectiveness, they are all less awesome than the falcon punch, and more importantly, the falcon punch + taunt combo

b) A distinct lack of Kirby. Obviously, these tactics all fail against any competent Kirby player, basically because they can steal the falcon punch, and also because any decent knee attack will lose to a spike-multiple jump as necessary-final cutter if needed-taunt combo

Aside from those problems, this is cool.

[Metal Gear Awesome]

Funny movie

Not bad, not played most of the series so missed a lot of the jokes, otherwise I'd probably rate it higher. Good throughout though.

[Big Ass Badgers]

Great stuff

This is the film Transformers should have been. Nothing beats a bit of badger comedy. Real funny concept.

[pengin power]

Hmm, interesting

Doesn't make much sense but it's nicely made and looks decent. It's a bit short and loops jerkily though.

[The Ultimate Showdown]

Good, but hugely overrated

I liked it, but I can't see why this is rated so highly. It's a catchy song, but everything else around it is pretty average - the animation and art aren't brilliant by any means, it's not that funny or violent... the flash is just lacking something that you'd expect from something in the alltime top 50.

[Splash Attack]

Real funny stuff

A very nice way to take the magikarp meme and take it to the hoop in flash form. Basic but funny as hell.

[Madness Antipathy]

Flash animation doesn't get better than that

Pretty much summarising everything in the title - the Madness series has consistently been one of the great features of Newgrounds and this installment doesn't disappoint. Possibly the best selection of music and effects I've seen, ultra violent and stylish as ever. Probably one of my all-time favourites.
