jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ernest and Bob: ep. 1]

OK cartoon

Not a bad idea, not particularly entertaining but at least it had some sort of a plotline, a preloader and sound. Voices weren't too bad, could have used a few more sound effects here and there. A bit short as well, but it's not a bad effort.

[Sproinky The Robot]

OK trailer

Looks like you could have an interesting character there, rather Inspector Gadget-esque. Nicely drawn with good animation, although as the previous guy said, the photo background does look a bit crappy. Just do something with it more than a short trailer.

[The Portal]

Wicked parody

One of the best movies on NG - a length comical parody, great in every respect. A few hidden things to do that I haven't found yet as well. Lots of great graphical effects. A lot of work went into this, and a brilliant flash has been created.

[Spleencabbage]

Crazy name, weird film

I felt I had to watch this given the title, which is completely irrelevant to the subject of the film. Had it been relevant though, it would have been seriously fucked up. Anyway, what we have is a series of frame by frame war style animations, with lots of explosions and shooting, with Limp Bizkit in the background (if no-one told you already). It works quite well in my eyes - the animation is pretty good although the drawing is basic. One of the better old entries I've seen.

[King of the Closet]

Movie was pointless and short, eh?

Kind of sums it up in a few words that, what you say at the end of the movie. Liked the graphical style but that was all there is to the movie - there was no apparent plot or story and the music was poor. Not awful but no real reason to watch.

[GALAPAGOS]

A fine arty piece of flash

A somewhat different submission from the normal fayre served up on NG, and this is excellent. Great artwork, the lightsourcing in particular was cool and the music was remarkably apt for the movie. Decent storyline, tells what happens in real life rather well and works a treat. Violence involved too. Brilliant!

[An alien odyssey]

Not bad for a first movie

Fair enough, has a good deal of action and for 50K is pretty long. Graphics aren't great and overall the movie is nothing special, but I've seen an awful lot worse than this. It's somewhat entertaining, which many flashes here aren't.

[Im Stranded!!!!!!!!!]

Watch until the end

The movie starts off as random pointless crap with suicidal violence, and only begins to make sense right at the end. Not an awful submission, but it never really gets off the ground and does anything to recommend it.
