jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[College University pt 2]

Improved from the first

This is a lot better than the first episode - more humour, longer and the graphics looked smoother. Loved the driving to college scene, and this explains all the random monkeys. An excellent progression in the series.

[College University pt 1]

Funny stuff

Saw part 7 the other day and thought I'd watch the whole series - anyway, this is a lot shorter than that, but it's still very funny. Simple comedy, but it works. Graphics are cartoony and work well, the voices are excellent. Maybe could have had a couple more things going on but that's not a complaint.

Badgers!

This is very, very, very funny - while lacking the purity of the classic badger, it's funnier than it. Shame the graphical quality was pretty poor for the filesize, but it's not a problem. Great for a quick laugh.

[Madness shorty]

Poor rip-off

This is way too short and random to be a decent Madness parody - there's no real structure to the movie, it's just a collection of random events with no real links between them. Simply copying a movie style (and the music from it as well) is no good unless the content is there as well. Which in this case it isn't.

[Mutant Ninja Turtles EP01]

Brilliant fight scene

An excellent movie - one heck of a great fight scene, and lots of other side plots going on which should give plenty of scope for good future episode. The graphics are some of the best on NG, although in places the animation didn't look brilliant (for example when Leo is running at pace). Good sound effects, and an all-round stylish movie. I have a feeling this will look even better when future episodes are completed, but at the moment it is still superb.

[College University pt 7]

Wow!

I hadn't seen any of the previous episodes so I wasn't sure what to expect, but this is one of the funniest things I've seen on Newgrounds. Loads of crazy storylines and twists, it looks like a real cartoon off the TV, so good is this. Great stuff!

[WormsTrek Rhapsody]

Didn't find it that funny

Seriously, I didn't find this very funny - the graphics were alright, but the song wasn't anything special. It's above average but this isn't something I'd watch more than once. You ought to sort out the opening as well - took me a while to work out how to play the actual movie. It doesn't help when the credits are almost as long as the movie. Good but not brilliant. Certainly shouldn't have been daily feature.

[Yoshi's Islannd: Revenge]

Too short

That needed to be longer - it was over before it started and the only funny bit was when Mario got shot. You ought to cut out all the intro crap as well, that lasted longer than the actual movie! Not a good sprite movie.
