jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Decline Christmas]

A nice bonus

Doesn't match up to the normal Decline episodes, but as a christmas special it's a nice little extra which is still better than an awful lot of NG material.

[Menya zovut Shnur]

Needed english translation

Technically, this flash is excellent - the graphics are unique and stylish and the backing track is good. However, it's not going to make sense to 99% of the Newgrounds audience, and desperately needed English subtitles. It'd be rated a lot higher if they were there.

[Metroid Confusion: Part 2]

Excellent sequel

Follows up the original very well, with some funny scenes, good bonus features and crazy plots. Well worth watching.

[The Truth About NG]

Funny submission

Not bad. Liked it, a pretty good parody of Newgrounds today. Good work.

[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.
