jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Platforms¹³]

Excellent stuff

Nice, I recall Gravity, and this is a fine follow-up. Breakout rocks. Good choice of music. Might have been better if there was more going on, the pace was a little slow for my liking, but it's nothing to complain about. Can't wait for another one, good job.

[Super Metroid]

Not long enough

What there was of this was pretty good - it was just too short in my eyes. Given the file size, I'd have wanted more than Samus killing a couple of space pirates. Looked and sounded good, the Ridley hideout music was decent (although your sound levels are off - some things are too quiet and others are way too loud). I just hope this becomes a series, it's got potential.

Quimera responds:

Thanks man, well, I didn't know how to use flash as well as i do now, this time i really compressed the filesize at ff but before I didnt know much, taking into consideration I've only got 5 months with flash :)

[Magical Trevor]

God-like genius

Saw this prior to Newgrounds submission through the b3ta newsletter and thought it was great, and just a matter of time before it translates here. Genius, funny loop and good music. Daily feature surely.

[NG Deathmatch 2]

Decent but a bit disappointing

Pretty funny stuff, although I thought the storyline was a bit cliched and could have been better, and the animation wasn't too great, particularly given the large filesize. Fun to watch, but somewhat disappointing.

[Madness Apotheosis]

More godlike genius

The Madness series is one of the highest quality sagas on Newgrounds, and number 4 doesn't fail to disappoint. Although perhaps not quite as good as Avenger, the blend of extreme violence and smooth animation works wonders as usual. Cool music, and a great ending sequence. Classic.

[***BRUCEWILLISISONFIRE***]

Strangely funny

This shouldn't be funny, but it is. Probably shouldn't be watched by those who get seizures, but everyone else should get a bit of a laugh from this. Benny Hill music rules.

[-TheTrio-]

Very good, if a bit dull

Nice work on this pox - it looks very nice, and the music fits in well with the piece. Clearly a lot of work went in to this and a daily award seems about right. I just found the whole flash a bit boring to be honest - the pace was fairly slow and not a lot happened. Well made and worth watching, but it never really grabbed my attention.

poxpower responds:

actually, you're better to just download the song and listen to that all the time. When I first got it from the web, I listened to only that for like 2-3 days straight.

song title - the trio

[BEEBO part 9]

A welcome return of a classic series

Wasn't expecting another Beebo episode at all, so this comes as somewhat of a surprise, and it's great like the rest of them. Keeps the classic formula of random violence and smoking cats, with another crazy storyline. I thought it ended quite abruptly, and would have been better if it had gone on for another couple of minutes, but it's still high quality stuff. Nice!

fabulous999 responds:

Next episode will pick up where this left off.

[Super Mario Reloaded]

Excellent sprite action

Possibly the most violent, action packed sprite movie ever, the amount of work put into this must have been immense. Hugely entertaining, a great crossover. The story didn't make total sense but the very long fight sequence was excellent.

[Super Mario Skate PunX 4]

Nothing special

So so, not a lot to recommend. Graphics were sloppy in places, the skate tricks were OK but the backgrounds and general animation was poor and slow. Soundtrack wasn't bad, but you used too many Mario sound effects, which quickly became annoying. There's not a great deal of story either.
