jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Immort]

Not confusing at all

Just an OK stick figure killing some would be assassins with a fair bit of style and comedy sound effects, with what is fast becoming a mandatory suicide at the end to make it "confusing". Wasn't bad at all, if a bit short.

Interesting bread based cartoon

Liked the concept, but this badly needed some sounds. Without sound, there was a whole element of the film that was simply lacking. The graphics weren't great either, and these omissions and flaws made what could have been a good movie below par.

[SkateBoard Thrillz]

Nice skate bails

For a first movie (and your only movie by the looks of things) this was good - a nice selection of comic bails and deaths, with a good sound loop in the background, although some of the screams were very irritating. Could have done with some of the scenes being a bit longer, or adding some token non-bails, but this isn't a bad bail flick.

Not my cup of tea

It's OK, but I didn't like the style of graphics. There wasn't much of a plotline or many decent sounds, and then you add a "to be continued" tag to it, which I never like. Others will like it more than I do.

Cool stick based action!

Rather reminiscent of the Battlefield series, this was just a great series of short stick fights, put together with a random remix of Spybreak in the background. Just a couple of extra scenes would have made this even better, or maybe a bit more detail on the backgrounds. Good to see this got rewarded with a portal award, I love it!

[Damb Pencil]

Cool animation

When it's done well, like here, frame by frame animation looks really good. Could have used a few sounds here and there, but in any case this movie is a good short which is fun to watch. A preloader would have been a good idea as well.

[Stick tutorial]

Good tutorial

It's clear, simple and is a decent tutorial for making good stick movies. Don't know what else to say. The demonstration was good. Hopefully this will help some people.

[Video Game Jeopardy]

Poor quality, well, everything

The idea was good. It's just a shame to see you couldn't do anything with it. To have to keep pressing buttons to move on is annoying, and in the places where the movie went on by itself, it was too slow. The graphics were poor, there was no sound, the humour was low in quality and could be presumed missing, and once the game got started it was too short. Boring and poor.

[MUZZY!!!]

Mediocre at best

The concept isn't terrible, and it's slightly funny in places, but it simply wasn't interesting enough to keep my attention at all. The graphics were basic and what animation there was stank, and for the most part the soundtrack was dull and cliched.

[2 dudes]

Interesting true to life short

The previous reviewer's right... people WILL just talk like that for ages. It's quite comical, and I liked the style of graphics, reminds me of something but I can't put my finger on it. Funny ending to go with it. A good first movie to pass judgement in my eyes.
