jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Xiao Xiao No. 3]

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.

I'll treat this as a trailer

It's not a bad trailer - given the submission date it's clearly not going to be finished, so I'll review what's here - there's some good music and animation, but not a lot else. Shame you never made a final version. It could have been good.

[Bit Bloopers ep.1]

Obvious, but funny

It's pretty obvious (to anyone that's played SMK, anyway) what's going to happen, but it's still quite funny. You should make more, it's short, simple and effective, or have more than one scene per movie.

Cool movie

This is surprisingly good - well drawn with lots of good graphical effects, decent sounds, and a fair plotline involving lots of violence. Should be rated higher really, I liked it a lot!

[Joe Smoker]

OK short

The graphics are very basic, but the movie has some sort of structure to it, has some good music and made me laugh, so the below par graphics aren't much of a problem. In fact there's the odd good graphical effect. Average short movie.

[Guerilla Madness Teaser 1]

Don't do trailers

I don't like trailers. I especially don't like trailers that tell you very little about the movie. The final movie looks like it could be good, show us that, rather than just a trailer. And don't make a second trailer, even if that tells us something.

Irish-Rebel responds:

Thanks for your opinion, but I'm often just experimenting with the trailer type thing to see how certain things run on NG.

[:::: BUSH :::::::]

Funny music video style animation

Great stuff - good concept, nice graphics and animation and a twist at the end. Generally well made and funny, well worth a look.

[Skater's Combo II]

Another OK skate movie

Good selection of tricks, smooth animation, nice (if quiet) music. A complete if unspectacular skate movie, you can do worse than watch this. Sound effects were good too.

[Two]

Nice cartoon

Good idea with the "connection speed" thing at the start. The actual cartoon was pretty funny - comic violence used well to make a good final product. Graphics were better than average - some nice effects in use, although the voices were unclear at times. I like the style, make small technical improvements here and there and your scores should get better, as you clearly have good ideas.

[The Bar]

Needed a bit of sound really

I first looked at this and thought it looked crap. On a second look, it's not too bad, there's an OK screwed up story in there, but it could have used the odd sound effect here and there. Nothing wrong with the captioning, but an odd clunk or whack sound would make it so much more interesting. Good job with the small file size.
