Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Revenge:TheMovie]

I really don't like this... looks promising though

In the intro, the screens of black between the text last too long. Apart from that, it's all good. Some funky text effects and a nice wee evil picture.

After seeing the menu, I thought 'wow'! There's more!

I really don't like the way you've done that - practically tricked us and then let us down...

Also, the text at the end (the really dark blue with a hint of purple) was really difficult to read.

Rather than upload an unfinished movie, you should have (and could easily have) modified it slightly. Simply not having the menu and changing the ending to end on the title with the text 'coming soon' replacing the menu would have improved my perception of this slightly.

I accept that what I've typed up above may make me sound like a total dick, but presentation is a large element of any movie...

[Madslumper]

A bit too slow...

The graphics were good enough and the music you used fitted really well.

The main complaint I have is that the movie as a whole seemed to move too slowly. I just think it would have been better had you cut down the length a bit.

As it was, it started to be rather tiring.

[Who Is Saddam?]

I preferred the other movie...

The song was just annoying, and whilst I appreciate it was maybe meant to be that way, couldn't you have made it last less time?

The ending was something of a surprise but wasn't enough to really make me laugh.

Overall, the movie was just rather tiring for me to watch, and whilst the game at the end was slightly amusing, it wasn't enough to raise the score more than one point.

(Aarrgh! He's invincible! Take cover!)

Still, you've obviously got talent, so I'm looking forward to your next movie.

Stay funky,
Bez

[The Ball & The Hoop]

I actually really liked that.

Despite being no more that a circle (well, at times an oval...), the ball had a lot fo character.

The text and everything matched up to the music really well and the plot was interesting enough to keep me hooked throughout the length of the animation.

Maybe not a new favourite, but one that'll stick out in my mind.

Looking forward to your future stuff,
Bez

[I like Lemons]

The sound was too quiet...

You should maybe fiddle about with the sound levels on the microphone or something? In any case, it'd be better if the sounds were a tad louder I feel.

The plot wasn't too great, but it was better than most movies, with a couple of (poor, sorry) jokes in there. The middle section (with the teacher) just seemed really stupid.

However, the whole thing did manage to make me chuckle for a second...

The art is generally good, and if you think a bit more about your next movie and try to get even more joked of a better standard in, that'd be a Flash animation well worth watching.

Good luck,
Bez

[Super Stick Bros.]

Well, at least it's slightly different.

I rather liked the voice saying 'super chicken' and the zany ending made me chuckle for a second...

The graphics and sound were adequate but could have been a lot better (apart from the aforementioned sound clip which I thought was great).

Still, it's early days yet for you so I look forward to seeing a better piece of work from you sometime.

Stay funky,
Bez

[Robot_Rampage_2]

Seemed exactly the same as the original...

...apart from the larger screen-size.

So why bother submitting this? I don't understand...

[Karate Clock Birthday]

LeatherQueen below said it well.

A nice gesture, and one which Karate Clock obviously appreciated, but not something that enjoyable for others to watch.

Not something I'd reccommend at all.

Maybe to make it less annoying for folk you could have included a shorter loop to cut down on file size?

[The Matstick]

The player controls really impressed me! :)

A couple of bits in the movie did look rather nice (in particular, the part with the after-image) but the graphics weren't anything special.

The plot was pretty standard fare for this type of movie and didn't engage me at all.

As I said already though, The player controls really impressed me and this is far better than most stuff submitted to this site.

I really hope you try again with another submission and this time spend a wee while thinking of a more original plot. :)

Stay funky,
Bez

[Ze Martial Arts]

Hmmm....

Well, the animation's decent and the voices are good (although they both sound practically the same - maybe you could have changed your voice a bit more?).

However, I didn't really like this at all, mainly because it's such an old and predictable joke.

Also, you needed a play/replay button, although that didn't really affect my overall score.
