jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sonic X Chaotic Battle]

Excellent Sonic tribute

Clearly took a lot of work, graphically excellent and one of the best tributes to anything on NG. I'm not a huge Sonic fan though, and at times the action seemed a bit samey and repetitive, and I got bored in places. On the other hand, the excellence of the flash in general makes it worth watching whatever you like, assuming you can wait for the very large download. The music used was cool and suited the movie. All in all it's very good, but I was just left feeling a little disappointed.

[I Am Resident Evil]

Another fine LF production

Pretty funny, random parody. In my eyes, one of LF's better flashes, it's short and to the point and made me chuckle. If you like LF's work, you'll love this. Same brand of humour and similar cool graphical style.

[Aura: story mode]

Not my favourite sort of movie

Very good technically, but this isn't the sort of movie that makes me think "this is brilliant". It was good and had a decent plot, but apart from the violent elements it all seemed a bit dull and disjointed. Maybe I had to see the first Aura to understand it more, but I don't think that would have helped a great deal. Others will love this (clearly), but as you say it's not meant to be liked by everyone.

[William the Demon Killer]

Excellent demon killing hijinx

Simple premise, but cool nevertheless. You simply can't beat a bit of Carl Orff, enhances pretty much any movie. Chainsaw violence is always great fun. If I have any criticism, it's that there's not a huge deal of plotline and it maybe could have been a tad longer, but on the other hand improving those areas would detract from the violence. It's yet another cartoon with great graphics improving NG no end. Nice work!

[Love, Wink]

Sweet 99K followup

Very nice job with this - a cool storyline with lots of action and comedy moments. Like 99K, it's got great graphics which are the best feature of the movie and the soundtrack is apt and is a pleasure to listen to. Good idea with the easter eggs and the interactivity in the preloader, although I didn't find any. Super flash movie!

[The Buffalo King]

Great visuals

The visuals and animation were great - getting towards the top end, lots of detail, care and attention, and the music added a good deal of atmosphere to the movie. Not a great deal of plot but you do say it's a work in progress, it'll be good if you can make a full length movie along these lines.
