jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Driving in my Car]

Nothing spectacular

First time I've seen Madness used on NG - good song and a nice idea for a movie, but I got bored of it quickly as for the most part you were repeating the same two animations, and as the best bits were elements other than those two, it was annoying. Good effort, just could have used some more variety.

Cool, clever stuff

An excellent piece of flash, just not the sort of thing that I normally like to watch which is why it "only" gets 8. Excellent graphics, very dark and moody with lots of good effects, and the music fitted in nicely with it. Good use of a scene selection option. Tells a story too, which always helps. Worthy of the high score, very good but not one of my favourites.

[swordsman]

OK stick action

Missing sounds and a preloader, which makes for a bad start. The stick action was OK - a fair bit of work must have gone into it, but it wasn't overly long given the filesize. Not a bad fight, but the lack of sound doesn't make this one to remember.

[phil 'n' bob]

Not great

No sound, never a good idea. Has some storyline, and it's funny to a certain extent, but nothing in the movie made me think it was anything better than below average. Drawing was good.

[Bus Stop 2]

Not as good as the first

It's still funny in the same way as the first Bus Stop, in that it has mindless violence, but it wasn't as funny as it. Underrated, but it took a step backwards in my opinion. Graphics and sounds were good.

[No Cows 2]

Simply crap

That was just horrendous in every possible way. No plot, no good elements to the flash, quite possibly a contender for worst flash I've seen. It's absolutely awful and doesn't make any sense at all.

[A modern Duel]

Could have been worse

Not terrible - it had three different scenes, but they were kind of random and not well connected, and the sounds weren't good (that car engine was awful). It needed some sense of direction to it, and a decent plotline. It's unoriginal and not great as it is.

[Anvil]

Surprisingly funny

I thought this would be a crap movie, but it's actually quite funny. He dodges the anvil, but not the knife. It's cool, and there's random violence. Good that there's some interactivity right at the end too, even if it's only a little thing.

[Mayo]

If that was one of your finer works...

I'd hate to see one of your bad works - that was terrible. A picture of a tub of mayo. Move the frame around a bit, top flies off. The end. Completely pointless, unfunny, boring stuff.
