jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Train]

Do more, keep it up!

For a first flash, this is damn good, and I'm not just influenced by the fact it's got a lot of NES Mega Man influences. Take a bit of time by adding a preloader and a start button (right click + play is required), and make things a bit longer with a storyline and you'll have a great movie.

Confusing stuff

The animation was good, but it was confusing and didn't make much sense. It's just some blue guy swaying around to various backgrounds with some music playing. It's not a bad flash technically, but I just didn't like it that much.

Good short stick fight

It's a nice short stick fight, background was nice and the animation was good. Had some good sounds and a nice plot. Only thing lacking was length - it was on the short side. But you say it's only a demo, so the final version should fix it.

[Fighting test]

Not a bad stick fight

I liked the way that the stickmen were drawn somewhat differently to how many other movies drawn them, and there were some good fight elements. However, the whole fight seemed random and the lack of sound harmed things a lot. It's not bad for something made quickly for fun though.

Superb for the file size

You've squeezed a lot of stuff into that 60-odd kilobytes, and it works well. Animation is very good, and although it's a worn out theme, there's still funny bits in it. Could have done with some sort of background ideally, and maybe some background music, but it's good as it is.

[A Clockwork Clock 3]

Hmm...

The movie is just an introduction, then Strawberry Clock walking across a field. Nothing worth giving good marks for there. Only reason I don't give lower is the Electric Six background music.

Stick fighting perfection

From the series of stick fights that inspired dozens of lame imitations comes one of the best stick fights you will see. Great in every respect, it's an all time classic. Watch this and you'll see where lots of people get their ideas from. Fantastic stuff.
