JonBro's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness Aggregation]

This Madness is so darn close to a 10.

This Madness isn't quite as epic as classics like Madness Avenger for a few reasons--mostly the situational clarity. None of the Madness movies make perfect sense, obviously, but this one kinda left me lost.

Does this movie take place during the events of the eighth, or directly after? Who are the two clever killers introduced at the beginning? What did the superbeing wrapped in burning darkness 'awaken' near the middle of the movie? And for what reason does Hank have the claw of a lobster in place of his right arm?

Every episode in the Madness series is unusual in one way or another, but this one outdid the rest in strangeness, especially with the lobster-arm, which was a fairly distracting detail from the commotion between the characters... And the Madness has gone a good while without real explanations for its changes--like the yellow-blooded masked security guards, for instance... Or who the fiery guy with red glasses is, and what his true role in everything is. I doubt it will ever really be explained.

Of course, maybe there IS no "method" to this "Madness." If these questions went unanswered, and the truth was that Madness just takes all the coolest ultraviolent action that its genius creator can dream up and jam-packs it into random little segments of non-sequitor plot twists for his and many fans' bloodthirsty enjoyment... I can certainly live with that.

This was still a really cool addition to the series. You went all-out with the special effects and camera angles in this one, especially the truck chase at the beginning and creative uses of weapons throughout. Your eye for detail has improved, even though it's already past most animators on Newgrounds. It was also refreshing to listen to Cheshyre's pulsing tune in the movie, because it kind of reminded me of music in earlier episodes of the series, namely Apotheosis.

Strange though this latest episode may be, it's still a good feeling to see another Madness by the legendary Krinkels.

[2nd Annual Tank Awards]

I laughed so hard...

Tom's such a great actor. He should be a star in the next Iron Man film.

[Girlchan in Paradise Ep1]

This is surprisingly accurate.

It's not your best but it's still really funny how you exaggerated the problems of poorly done anime shows--and you really didn't exaggerate all that much!

What you need for Episode 2 is the usual dumb-sounding narrated introduction of what has already happened and what the characters are currently supposed to be doing... which is usually said while the main characters are walking along an endless dirt road for no particular reason.

[Its a Tank!]

HAHAHA

I think it was funnier when Tom was acting just because he couldn't quite keep a straight face.

Great concept done surprisingly well.

[The Mad Cow]

...I'm going to have to give this a 10.

I love the mad cow. How can I not give this a 10 after watching this movie three times straight?

[Such is Life...]

Creative and well made.

I like how the story sort of tells itself with barely any words... and not even much music! The expressions of the flower really give the feeling that it is trapped, lonely, and desperate to be out in the great wide green world again.

The bee looked a bit desperate, too, but in a very different way.

[Mario the Emo]

Haha, nice one, turtle.

One of my friends was actually talking about this movie. I had no idea you made it until I watched it just now.

Although this clearly isn't your best movie in terms of animation, Mario's overreactions and Luigi's attempt to cheer him up makes this a fun Flash.

[Tomm-E]

Clever way to parody Wall-E.

I originally didn't think this was going to be very good, but I've now watched this little fun movie twice. The sound quality and slick animation instantly surprised me, and just like the movie, it was clear what was going on even without words.

And I'm pretty sure the robots were saying "Make Flash." Even that voice was well done.
