jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[PUSTOTA]

Difficult to understand

Maybe I'm missing something, but I found this flash hard to follow and slightly dull in places. Sure, technically it's excellent, with great graphics and a fine soundtrack, but in my eyes there wasn't a great deal going on, and what was happening was kind of going in circles. It's probably one of those movies you have to watch a few times to understand properly. Good but may not appeal to a large portion of the Newgrounds audience.

[The slippery banana]

Not a brilliant stick short

Good violence, but it's a bit dull. I didn't like the stick, the lines seemed way too fat, but the animation wasn't bad and the sounds were OK. It's short and boring really.

[Short - 02.5 (Rocketman)]

Good short

I liked this - it's quick but enjoyable. Funny, with some good violence, well drawn with nice sounds. There's not much more you can ask for with a short like this. Sort of 2001-esque. Good stuff.

[DBZ explosion]

Meh, not my style

I dunno about this - I find these sorts of movies boring and hugely unoriginal. The sounds weren't too bad but the graphics were nothing special, which kind of makes or breaks these movies. Make something longer, more original and with a plot.

[Adv of Stick and Blob]

So poor it's untrue

This was so bad I couldn't even bring myself to watch all of it. Awful voices, crap graphics which are sub-stick standard, no violence, humour, plot, nothing. It just stinks.

[Europeans]

Where's the work in that?

What you've done is taken an Eddie Izzard stand-up clip, added a stage background and made LeekClock animate a bit over that. It looks OK but there's not really that much work done there to be honest. Maybe if the sound clip was funnier I wouldn't mind so much.

[VolleyBall]

Poorly animated

The drawings were good, but the framerate is so slow it just looks jerky and bad. Coupled with that annoying No scream, the lack of any plot or interesting moments and this becomes one to avoid. Way too short and lacking in real content.

[Clay BBQ]

Not a good clay movie

Not one of the best clay movies I've seen - the picture quality was poor, there wasn't too much animation and the sound quality was bordering on awful. It had some sort of story but it just wasn't interesting enough for me to like it.

[Eddie]

Still looks good today

Funny stuff going on here Stamper - straight up humour. Nice idea, still works after a long time on the portal. The graphics were great, good animation and drawings, and decent voice acting. Should be rated higher than it is.

[Stop The Clawk]

Average clock movie

A couple of average shorts - the first was better and funnier. The second seemed to lack any sort of plot and seemed random, and the ending didn't make much sense at all. Sound effects and graphics were OK. Not a great clock movie but there's enough humour in it to be worth a quick look.
