JonBro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gunstar X Triple Feature]

NICE STUFF

The first one, though short, was really impressive and had a funny ending. I also enjoyed the easter eggs =D
The second one was lengthy, and so much was happening. I didn't get bored for a second.
The third one deserves an instant 10.

Great stuff! I hope to see more from you!

Gunstar-X responds:

Thanx alot JonBro. Especially for your comment on the third one. I had so much fun making that one, and I'm happy with the final product. As for the other ones, thanx for your comments on those as well. I appreciate the positive feedback.

[The Stranger Forest]

I don't know...

For some reason it didn't strike me as incredible, even though there was no question that it WAS (with the animation, graphics, shading, camera angles, musical selection, emotion, creativity, etc.) Maybe it's just not my style. And it didn't make all too much sense to me. I would feel spooked if my eye color or skin color suddenly changed, and the kid in the movie didn't seem to care. Almost everything in the movie seemed to happen without reason. However, because I can tell plenty of effort was put into it, I'll give it an above-average score.
That's just my opinion, though. =\

[Mario RPG: Rawest Forest]

Hah, that was great!

I didn't catch all the references, bot most of them I got. This was really entertaining, to watch and to hear.
Great job!

[An Animusical Minute Ep 3]

It seemed "incomplete".

I'm not saying it was a bad movie, but it seemed like so much was missing.
This could have used more variety, like the first two (because all that happened in this one was "leprechauns appeared during concert, parents have mixed feelings, the end", while in the other Animusicals, more things happened). And I was really curious how the mother was going to react at the end, but there was a long pause... and nothing happened.
Still, good job. I hope the upcoming minutes have the thrill of the previous ones.

Foreverland responds:

Fair enough. I did have a hard time coming up with the concept for the third one, and it was a bit rushed. When I started it, I only had a few days to pick the song, figure out the visuals, and work up the animatic. So while the first two had stronger overall concepts, I just wanted to rock out on the third one.

But thanks for the criticism. It's always appreciated.

[Rhyming Words]

Definitely strange...

This reminded me of Salad Fingers in a way, except this is more energized and has cleverer transitions. 8/10

Lord-Sonx responds:

i can't see how this is anything like salad fingers...

["Bob, Bob and Bob"]

OMG BEST EVER

Seriously, I'm still laughing...BOB ROCKS!!

BottleCapClock responds:

yes bob does and hes good at it 2

[Certain Madness]

Weeeeellll...

You've got the animation down pat, and you definitely had a creative flair in it, but you should really have some more slow-down points in the animation for better timing... Still, I can see you worked hard to make this what it is, which is why I'll give it an 8.
Good luck on Madness Day 2007!

(For anyone wondering why so many Madness tributes have been submitted to the portal recently, it's because Madness Day is coming up!)

[Super Mario bros Z ep 6 (old series)]

THAT WAS INSANE.

Ignore all of those morons who say all you're doing is stealing. It takes a TON of effort to pull off something this intense in Flash using sprites!
Your timing was perfect, the music selection was perfect, and the action kept me on the edge of my seat!
There were so many thoughts running through my mind as I watched this, all of which regarding how professional this was.

I also hate how people are just saying that the only reasons this series is ranked so high is the fact that well-known video game characters and Dragon Ball Z will attract a truckload of fanboys. That could be part of it (because you feel more excitedly uneasy about Mario lying on the ground than some character that you made up), but there's SO MUCH MORE that unobservant people are MISSING!

You have a gift for movie-making. Don't listen to those overlooking that. KEEP IT UP!

10/10

["THE FALL" - Lock Legion]

OH MAN!!!

That's the hardest I've laughed in a LONG time! I couldn't help but watch it over and over and over.

10/10!!!

UglyBirthLock responds:

FINALLY A PERSUN WITH COMON SENSE!!1

[Weasel Stomping Day]

I'm going to rate this on the movie, not the song.

You didn't make the song, only the movie...so I'm going to review this based on the movie:
This could have been a WHOLE lot better. The graphics were sloppy and mediocre, while the animation was choppy like a slide-show. What I want to see is something that's worth watching with or without sound on.
There wasn't nearly enough movement or lightheartedness in the visuals as there needed to be in order to measure up to the song, which is why this gets a low score from me. Had you put some real effort into this, it could have been really good, but what I saw was far below my lowest expectations.
