jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Metroid Confusion: Part 1]

Funny stuff

Excellent Metroid related parody. Some funny jokes, nice animation and ripped sound, all round quality. Well worth watching.

[Mario Kart Underground]

Overrated, but OK

I thought this was alright, it's a good concept, looks alright and is fairly entertaining. I didn't think it was that brilliant - it's on the short side, lacking in content and isn't terribly funny, violent and was missing something that would have changed it from good to great. Worth looking at once, but not one of my favourites.

[Pico's Unloaded]

Very good entry

Enjoyable, violent stuff. Not many problems with it, if anything it's a bit short for the size of the file and this particular type of movie has been done so many times before. But it's well made and good to watch.

[Prowlies at the River]

Very well made, but ultimately dull

Looks brilliant and has lots of nice effects, and the sound quality is high. I just found the movie to be lacking in content and story, and to generally be a bit boring. Nothing much happened and in the end it wasn't that memorable, which is disappointing given the excellent presentation.

[All Your Tricky]

Funny stuff

Mixing AYB with Tricky. Excellent idea, even if it's obvious what'll happen. Nice job, maybe could have used some more animation or extra length.

[Decline of Video Gaming 2]

You bought an N-Gage, didn't you?

Pure genius. I could easily have spent an hour playing the preloader subgames which were fun. An excellent sequel, improving on it in pretty much every aspect. One of the best things I've seen this year.

[Decline of Video Gaming]

Come on blue!

High quality stuff. Very funny, mainly because it's true, the video game industry is going collapse under a pile of unnecessary sequels. Technically very good if not brilliant in any given area, this is relying on humour and that works. Nice work.

[YAAFM 9: Michael Moore]

Not one of the better episodes

Didn't find this one particularly funny or interesting. Moore's an obvious choice for the YAAFM series, but this wasn't a very good job. The sound wasn't as clear as in previous episodes, and the graphics weren't anything special. A step backwards.

[Bitey of Brackenwood]

Excellent stuff

Very nice flash. Graphically excellent, definitely worth watching. Fine as an introduction, the lack of story isn't important then. Not the funniest or most violent thing you'll see, but great anyway.

[Bob the Ball - Episode 2]

Quality

If anything, this is better than the first one. More high quality entertainment in its own unique style, superb random action. Can't wait for number three.
