jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Empire State Building]

Good 3D effect

A nice use of 3D there, the building looked good and the zooming in and out was effective. Now put it into an actual movie and I might vote higher on it.

[Everything Mushrooms!]

What was that???

Take a look at a movie called Cheese. That was well made, funny and generally great. This is similar in it's obsession regarding a certain foodstuff, except it's crap in almost all respects. A load of stills zooming in, with a crap, fucked up soundtrack. Awful.

[freedmen's last smoke]

Random violence, not much else

The guy's a drug dealer. His head explodes. Not much else happens. When I say not much else, I mean nothing. Drawing is OK, but this movie is really pointless, has no plot and lasts three seconds. And I couldn't find the easter egg. If there was one.

noneforall responds:

that was kinda the point... random violence... and if you have dial up you already got the easter egg...look in the window tho

[Master Card Loves you]

It's OK, but the joke was obvious

This movie was shouting out "IT'S A PRICELESS JOKE". Which made the ending less funny than it could have been, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. The sounds were unclear, especially in the shotgun scene. The graphics were mainly stills, and the stills weren't great. It's not a bad idea, but the flash was lacking in many areas.

[Scabieshit's 1st NG toon]

Funny stuff, do more!

Good job with this - there's potential here, keep making this sort of thing. The sounds weren't great - the speech was unclear and difficult to understand, try to improve that. But the graphics were great, even though there wasn't a great deal of animation, and the ending was funny. It's a good short, continue in this vein, and make the next one a little longer if you can.

[scampi]

Usual great humour

Exactly the sort of thing I've come to expect from you, this was funny as usual and completely insane. Not sure on the relevance of calling it scampi, but hey, it's cool.

[Wolves by the River]

Good short, nice drawing

It's pleasant enough to watch - the drawing is excellent and the attention to detail is impressive. I like the way the moon moves with the mouse in the preloader... anyways, it's nice to watch but it does get dull, try making a short movie with a story and it should be great.

[qweenie & the bin]

Strangely amusing

It's got the Queen and Bin Laden, quoting Looney Tunes and other random quotes at us. This should suck but for some reason it's quite funny. A bit short though. Bush at the end was cool.

[Cry For Help]

Speechless

You admit yourself it's bad... that doesn't leave me with much to say to be honest. The "morphs" weren't horrible but they weren't good either. Sadly that's all the movie was. There's room for improvement and if you work you'll get better.

[The Beginning]

You're not making the rest, are you?

I'm guessing if the rest of the movie didn't come within two years, it's not coming at all. So I'll comment on what is there. It's an intriguing trail with some good graphics and animation, with the odd overused soundbyte. And then the trailer finished. Shame you didn't complete this, it could have been OK.
