jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Partial Victory]

Not bad

It's alright - didn't like the graphical style that much but it's all clear with some decent animation. Sound effects were OK, lots of action and violence, one of the better old submissions on NG.

[Alien Earth 1]

OK short

Not bad, fairly funny throughout with some nice drawings and OK sounds (apart from that cry of Why?). The random death at the end made no sense but it added a bit of violence so it's all good. Nothing special but worth a quick look.

[Alex and the Home Colonic]

Simply not funny

This had potential to be quite amusing but it really wasn't funny. The sound effects aren't bad, and the drawing of Alex is alright, but those are the only redeeming feature. To use a pun, it's crap.

[Sega Speedway]

Decent sprite action

Nice idea, works well and is entertaining to watch. At times there's not much happening - the same movie could have been made 30 seconds shorter and been just as good. A better than average sprite movie.

[Kickflip-Nose Bluntslide]

Too short

I know you say it's short, but it's short even for a short. Especially considering the framerate is too low. The drawings are good and the sound clip is OK. Have it run faster and make it longer ideally.

[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.
