jonthomson's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bar talk]

Turn it up a bit!

It was OK, but the sound was too quiet and it was very difficult to understand what the two guys were saying half the time. Hence any jokes or anything would have been somewhat lost on me. And since the movie is just a sound clip with a few bits of small animation, that's quite a serious fault.

[Jed's Other Poem]

Great music video

Grandaddy rule, and the Sophtware Slump is a great album. This is a nice movie to go with the track, very fitting and well made. It may have been better if the audio quality was made a bit better at the expense of the filesize, but it came through well enough to make sense. Nice job, care to do one for Hewlett's Daughter?

[NicNac]

Intriguing short movie

Didn't make much sense at all, but it looked pretty good, and had pleasant sounds and just seemed funny for no apparent reason. Maybe best experienced when drunk, I guess.

[the big fight]

Incredibly poor

Only reason this gets 1/10 is that it's so bad it's funny. Two stick men, not even well drawn, one ball thing which is motion tweened at the other guys head, which then turns into a load of red pen. All 7K is incredibly bad, and not worth watching. And it's on an infinite loop.

[Braden Gets Canned]

Short comedy film

Quick and easy to view, this is funny - has some interactivity as well, which is always a bonus. Nice idea, ok to watch even if I have no idea who Braden is. Sound wasn't great and could have been improved.

[Smoke]

Funny short film

It made me laugh, and the ending was great if a tad predictable. Animation was basic but suited the movie in my opinion, and the sounds were nice. Maybe could have been a little longer, or there could have been a better background, but it was an enjoyable short film.

[-= PEE MAN II =-]

Oh, the humanity!

I loved this. Crazy rapid action, mad and mental music, things happening everywhere faster than the eye can see. Extremely cool and very funny, only way it could be better is if it was a bit longer, but it looks good as it is. Worthy of a daily award in my opinion.

[Wicked-Sticks]

Stick fight, again

Yet another of the millions of stick fights that are on NG - this one wasn't too bad, but was nothing special. Music was good, and the sound effects were suitable. The animation wasn't bad, but the background was rather bland. Middle of the road to be honest.

[SHINGO Trailer]

Promising looking trailer...

This is looking good, the graphics look very cool and the sounds add some nice atmosphere. However, this was posted about a year and a half ago, so I'm guessing there will be no final movie. Which is a shame. It's still a good trailer though.
