jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sniper whitout goal]

Improvements could be made

As far as mindless sniper-killing movies go, this is in the middle of the pile - the soundtrack was too quiet, the graphics are mixed between average and crap, there's not enough violence and the movie's too short, and the filesize is large for what the movie is. Optimise it a bit, tidy the flash up and make it longer and this should score higher.

If you some people took time to read the description, it say that Im bored and did that whitout point.
I know this is shit, I just post it here to make some changes...

[Bin Laden Air]

Oh dear

That sucked incredibly badly - it's a poor picture of a plane being tweened into a poor picture of a building. Badly. Terrible, not even so bad it's funny.

[Extreme Thingy]

Please...

In the future, if you want people to comment on your animation and give tips, post it on your own website and link to it in the Flash forum on the BBS. Don't clutter up Newgrounds with stuff like this - it's way too short, has one poor piece of action, below par animation and the sound wasn't good. It wasn't funny, violent or good.

[Elemental Short Fight]

Good graphics but old style

I liked the graphics in this, nice and smooth, very fluid. It's a shame that they were wasted on a very unoriginal type of movie, a simple short fight. The fight wasn't that great - it kept switching from a simple slug fest to using fireballs and the like, it was very random. As a graphical test it works perfectly. As a flash movie, it's good but lacking in some areas.

[Bob the Ball]

Wow! It's like kid's stories on crack!

Very, very nice job with this. It's one of my favourites at the moment and there's some great flash going around. The concept is great - have it set up like a children's book, only with gangland killings, drug dealers and friendly bums. The graphics were cool - nicely drawn, for once a lack of animation doesn't look terrible. The voice acting is half the fun - the way the story is read is very comical. Make more of these, this was top quality!

[Sunday School 07]

Sick but funny

That's some pretty funny stuff there - this is one series that I've missed and will catch up on later. Interesting plotline, not great graphics and poor voices, which are rarely in sync and sound bad occasionally, but the movie's entertaining. Some nice subtle jokes on the posters too!

EricSullivan responds:

Thank you! The voices in this episode suck big time compared to what I've attempted in my other movies. I really have done better, but I just wasn't into this episode very much.
In fact, next to #3 & 4, this is my least favorite episode.

[Metroid Parody part 2]

Better than part one

Carried on from where the first part left off - I thought this was a lot funnier, with Kraid and the metroid being particularly amusing. If you liked the first, you'll like this one more. A fine parody.
