jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Redneck Gangsta Rap]

Superb music video

Very good stuff - it's a great little song you've got there, and the video is cool. Nice detailed graphics, it's fun to watch. One of the best music videos I've seen on NG, but it was lacking something to get the ten. Maybe needed a bit more violence. Still, it's a funny movie and I like it a lot.

[Zman]

Great for a first go

I liked this - it's cute but sad at the same time. Nice little story, simple graphics but they work with good smooth animation, and the music was great. You ought to try and make a series with this character, I thought it was good. Nice job!

TheBoob responds:

thanx for the review and input and thanx for the reply in the forum, i guess my movie will forever be lost in the portal after now, but who knows. I am planning on making a series w/ this guy but adding other characters and working w/ a good friend of my for artwork, thanx for the help

[THANK YOU - NG]

OK...

You wanted to thank the people at NG. That's fair enough, but it would have been better to do it in an email rather than make a very poor flash movie. At least you didn't put said huge music file on.

[Bud Bonanza EP1: Trailor]

OK trailer

Saw your request for reviews on the BBS - it should be an interesting series and one to watch for, but just make sure that the final movie has a coherent storyline and makes sense. You've got ideas, the visuals look OK and you've chosen some good music (that Manu Chao track is great, even if it doesn't fit in really), just make sure that the end product has a point to it basically.

ya, the end product will be much better, its just i have been workin on it for about a month, and I didnt have anything to show for it. So I submitted a couple clips off the movie for a trailor. Kinda stupid, but I guess tahts what impatience does to you. Thx for the review.

[Skate 1.2]

Short skate movie

This would have been better at a higher framerate, it just seemed so slow! In other areas it's better than other skate movies of this type - it has a bail and some backgrounds. It's too short though.

["Waterman" Ep. II Part I]

Very good cartoon

I don't think this was as good as the first episode, but it had the same cool style of humour and crazy diversions as it, and the conclusion of this episode has been set up nicely. Maybe could have done with clearer sounds, but they're audible most of the time. The second part should be great!

[Clear Man Episode 4!]

Truly awful

Possibly the most overrated movie on NG. No plot, poor graphics, awful annoying sounds, it just stinks. There's no redeeming features to it whatsoever, it's just an incredibly bad piece of flash.

[Brain Dead Ina]

One for the gore fans

Fine stuff, worthy of the daily feature award it got. Best feature is clearly the violence - tons of gore and not one for the kids to watch. A lengthy crazy zombie movie, with very good visuals but disappointing sounds in places. Weird in that there's lots of stuff to see before the movie actually start. It's not one of my absolute favourites, but it's very good and enjoyable, a fine mindless killing spree.

[Clock Chase]

Fair effort

This is enjoyable enough, fairly funny with a lot of action going on. Not a bad clock movie at all. Maybe a bit short, it ended abruptly (not bad, but a couple more scenes before the finish would have improved it a lot), and the sounds seemed quiet, but they're minor quibbles. The graphics weren't bad either. Overall - above average, worth watching.
