JonBro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mario.swf]

I really did laugh at this.

I laughed a good bit at the pathetically bad Mario movie and the hypocritical review right after it. It's so true.

I'm gonna watch it again now.

[Once at the Lesson]

I do that exact same thing sometimes.

Except usually the stickfigures that I draw going through big obstacle courses die horrible deaths at the end.

Very entertaining and pretty well-animated. The stickfigures even had more detail than usual.

trul responds:

some people consider stickfigures as crash dummy, but they have soul too ;)

[Tall 'n Short]

Best of the shape shorts.

The graphics definitely weren't good, obviously... but the script was absolutely amazing. It didn't sound like you planned anything out but it all worked out perfectly in the end. I could not stop laughing.

[Mario's Castle Calamity]

I was expecting a little more.

I mean, I know there wasn't really meant to be much in the way of detail, since it used the background from the game, but almost none of the jokes actually related to the concept of dynamiting the castle. Only about two or three skits even had Mario pressing down the switch at all, and the rest were nothing but entirely random nonsense. Sure, a few were indeed quite funny, but I think complete irrelevance should be used more sparingly.

[There She Is!! final step]

Greatness.

Not perfect, but still great.

I guess after the severe mood change in Steps 3 and 4 of the series, this is a pretty good way to end the series. Somehow something just feels... missing, though.

The other Steps felt like they had more substance than this one... and ironically, I also thought they had more 'imagination.' This ending with the hurry to the airport and all the characters simply realizing bunnies and cats can get along was just especially predictable. The music was more obnoxiously repetitive in this Step than the others, as well.

I'm not bashing the whole thing though. This Step had plenty of animation, and it kept with the style of the others. The way everything seemed to sort of come as one, with the baby chick introduced at the beginning and the conflicts of the rest of the series. It was just well-done.

All in all... Step 2 is still my favorite of the "There She Is!!" series. =)

[These Pancakes Are Tiny]

It takes effort to be that awkward.

Very well done.

I'm surprised how 'real' it felt. The events that transpired (getting addicted to a game, griping about food) are the kinds of situations people can relate to. Usually it's not nearly as funny as this though.

[Dr. Slough ep. 2]

Cool!

Although it wasn't the greatest in terms of animation or sound, I still enjoyed it because of all the clever ideas, like "ninja pills" and "warrior pills" not getting along.

[Pen License]

Wow, what a stupid rule.

I like pencils more than pens most of the time, but needing a "pen license"... What??

Fun movie. I'm gonna go watch it again.

[The Greatest Idea Ever!]

I thought this cartoon really was a great idea.

The part 'for the lulz' was definitely the best part.

[Inanimated]

That box was creepy..

and I enjoyed every minute that it creeped me out.
