jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[On the Computer]

What was that?

I have no idea what that was supposed to be - just looked like a couple of photos and some pointless soundclip. Not interesting, not funny, not worth watching.

[Retro Preview]

Hmm...

Don't know what to make of that - a poor trailer for a movie that was never made (or was made and got blammed). Dull Transformers style stuff, nothing worth watching, OK short sound loop but that's about it.

[Kung-fu 8-bit fight]

Gotta love kung fu

I love it when people take 8-bit classics and remake them in completely mental ways. Like Kung Fu on acid, this is ultra violent, with a couple of random influences keeping you on your toes. Another fine video game parody for NG viewers to enjoy.

DarkDisguise responds:

Thanks maaaaaan!!!
Another to enjoy?????? naaaaa your kidding me right :D
well saionara Jonthomson

[Newgrounds Jam #1]

Christ that's good

Wow. When I thought it wasn't possible to come up with an original idea on NG, you've all gone and proven me wrong. Each of the five segments are hugely individual in style and content, and are all very good, yet they all stemmed from the same cool piece of music. This is a fantastic piece of flash work. The only small gripe I'd have is that due to the nature of the project, each of the movies seemed a little short, probably because the music wasn't that long in the first place. But that's a very minor quibble. The best thing I've seen on NG for a long time, nice job all of you.

T0MMY responds:

Well, I wanted us to each do a stickman movie featuring Matrix and Dragonball Z parodies, but it's a good thing we came up with something a little more original ;)

The segments do run a little short. The file size is large despite that, but luckily we got in all 5 megs worth.

Thank you for the review!

Great stuff

I thought this was going to be one of those annoying anti-smoking propaganda flashes, but it's actually a pretty cool chaos theory type of movie. It's funny stuff, love the way it all gels together and plays out nicely, great musical choices and nice graphics. Brilliant!

[nash feeds on tampons]

Nice short cartoon

Heh, I thought that was pretty funny. Liked the graphic style, reminds me of something good I can't put my finger on. This is one of those movies that is simple in design but works perfectly. Could possibly have used some dialogue but that may have spoiled the simplicity of the cartoon. Good job.

[Sea Weasels]

Comic water tank based action

Not bad at all - loved the graphical style and the little interactive touches. Some quite funny moments, it's a good short movie to watch. They're known as sea monkeys over here, I remember them. Do make a series of this, it's a good start.

[EtaBeta vampire slayer]

Better than your other movie

This was better than that silence movie, but it was still boring. Had better graphics and OK sounds, but it wasn't interesting enough to be worth watching I'm afraid.

[EtaBeta silence movie]

Good music. Everything else...

That was incredibly dull and pointless. No plotline to it, poor graphics (which would have looked even worse in colour) and the only good element was the sound. Boring, pure and simple.

[Chicken!!1]

Average joke

The joke isn't too bad. Shame that's all there is to the flash - it's effectively a still with no sounds. Not a very good piece of flash.
