Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Adolf Hitler: ATWI80D 07]

of those I've

I guessed top hat/cane. How could I forget the tea?

--- What's under his arms? A Warburtons loaf? Mega-blurry. Find bigger pics, or take photos yourself maybe... and even with mega expensive software, if you were gonna blow-up, you'd have to 'make up' detail...

+++ Love the pipe/monacle. Looks great, along with the hat and tea.

Btw, I disagree with Milinko re: intro. Not just for the sake of passing judgement, but also because a) it's a cool intro, with lots of visual interest and b) it's nice having a bit of build-up.

probably my favourite out of those I've seen so far. Gotta love that wacky look for Hitler.

AfroUnderscoreStud responds:

They were crumpets under his arm. You have no idea how hard it was to find a usable picture and I don't have a decent camera, and I won't head into town just to buy something so I can take a picture of it ;)

#29 is another swell one

Thanks for the review =)

[Bahamut: ATWI80D 01]

- The font you use for the title 'bahamut in...' isn't as interesting as the fonts used in the main series.

- In the main part, I wasn't sure who was talking to you. Didn't realise it was Anderson until reading the other responses.

+++ Plot is kinda funny.

- Gfx are crappy (though in a way, adds to the humour).

I guess you know one of the credits are covered up... makes me wonder who that could be...

Chuckled once. Smiled through most of it. Was slightly surprised to see it was an actual animation with a story.

Gotta say, I'm disappointed in you. But still, I might not bother either. Got other things to do...

Having said that... if you've got the means, and don't need to work or whatever, just think of all you'd see! Man! If I had wings and had the chance, I'd totally do it!

Bahamut's a lazy fucktard!

So... that's really the end of that?

Murray responds:

"The font you use for the title 'bahamut in...' isn't as interesting as the fonts used in the main series."

I would use the same font that Afro used for his flashes, but I already asked him for a few fonts and didn't want to bug him more about fonts.

"In the main part, I wasn't sure who was talking to you. Didn't realise it was Anderson until reading the other responses."

I thought people would know by the speakonia voice that I used.

"Plot is kinda funny."

Thanks! :)

"Gfx are crappy (though in a way, adds to the humour)."

Yes, badly edited out picture of Andersson, crappy backgrounds etc.

"Chuckled once. Smiled through most of it. Was slightly surprised to see it was an actual animation with a story."

Haha, I wanted to make a flash that was more than just a single frame like the Hitler flashes.

"Gotta say, I'm disappointed in you. But still, I might not bother either. Got other things to do..."

Like Newgrounds? :P

"Bahamut's a lazy fucktard!"

Bahamut's a lazy fucktard!
Bahamut's a lazy fucktard!
Bahamut's a lazy fucktard!
Bahamut's a lazy fucktard!
Bahamut's a lazy fucktard!

"So... that's really the end of that?"

There'll be a second episode that will be submitted when the last episode of Adolf Hitler: ATWI80D is submitted. ;)

Thanks for that great review Bezman.

[Adolf Hitler: ATWI80D 04]

appeal is starting to

I guessed there'd be a pic of the Eiffel tower, and Adolf'd have a baguette and a beret. Hey presto!

I guess the French have strong stereotypes anyway.

Makes me wonder where Hitler is keeping everything after he leaves each country...

Overall...

The appeal is starting to wane. I should probably go do something else.

I enjoyed the 'guessing game' aspect though.

AfroUnderscoreStud responds:

I should have given him more stuff, like garlic around his neck and a glass of wine in his hand. But it's too late for that now...

Yeah, these are all pretty much the same. I reccomend you watch #7, #9 and #11 though. Those are the best ones.

Thanks for the review.

[Adolf Hitler: ATWI80D 03]

just realised that the

You could have given him a tray or plate on top of his other hand...

Well... looks like Adolf's having fun. Amused me somewhat.

I had fun guessing what you were gonna put in his arms (got one right).

I just realised that the intro's done with Flash blurs, yeah?

Made me smile again.

Oh, btw, in the song, I can never tell what the guy is saying.

Stay funky,
- Bez

AfroUnderscoreStud responds:

It would have looked a little odd with a tray resting against the back of his hand.

Flash blurs? Maybe, I didn't make it ;)

Is it simple enough for you? Does everybody understand? Anyone still following me?

Thanks for the review.

[Adolf Hitler: ATWI80D 02]

it

Skis/alps... good combo.

But is Hitler taking time out to ski for relaxation? OH NO! HE MIGHT NOT REACH HIS GOAL!

Seriously, the fonts at the start are awesome. Specially love the one in which you write 'Around the world...' and they go fairly well, considering the plethora you use.

Where did you get all your fonts?

overall - it made me smile.

AfroUnderscoreStud responds:

Unless of course he has to go downhill, then his skis help get him there quicker ;)

Roflmuffin had the fonts and made the intro.

Thanks for the review.

[Adolf Hitler: ATWI80D 01]

This time, it made me

If my eyes do not decieve me, your photoshop(?) skills have improved since this - you don't have the white jaggies any more, do you?

Not a bad graphical splice.

Kinda crazy that he's holding a beach ball in the middle of the road, but I guess that adds to the crazy humour.

I think you should make (or let me make) story episodes, telling the story.

Or do you prefer for it to be in the audience's minds?

Advantages to either, I suppose.

Hey, maybe I'll make a rival series. My guy will go around the world in 40 days!

Heck, maybe round the whole UNIVERSE!

This time, it made me smile.

Smile at the idiocy of this place.

You gave this entry a 0, lowering its score from 1.0622 to 1.0598!
Just for you. ;-)

AfroUnderscoreStud responds:

Back then, I blew the size up in Flash. And Flash isn't exactly the best program for that... or erasing...

Then I switched to increasing the size in Photoshop and pasting into Flash.

Now, I'm saving it as a transparent gif and importing it.

I'd love to see some story episodes from you, could be very interesting ^_^

Thanks for the vote ;) and the review ^_^

[Adolf Hitler: ATWI80D 25]

I had a

I chuckled 2 times whilst watching this! (Stopped watching after I'd gazed around your frame.)

++ Intro has cool music. Really nice fonts. Nice bg.

+++ Inherent hilarity of this 'series'.

--- Inherently limited nature.

You know, someone could theoretically make a flash tracking all the countries Hitler's been too. Like dots appearing on a map, so we can see the route he took.

How long do these things take you to make?

Is there any point in me reviewing any other movies in this series?

I had a chuckle.

Stay funky,
- Bez

AfroUnderscoreStud responds:

I think I might do the tracking thing at the end, after I submit episode 80, which will be the final one.

Well, these are pretty much all the same, check my response to one of your reviews from earlier, for which ones you should check out.

Thanks for the review.

[Modern Art]

It made me

Watched it through. Smiled a little.

+ nice logo on pre-loader.

- Why should we have to press 'play' 2x?

--- 2nd button is buggered. In the 'hitbox' frame of the button, that's what the user needs to be on, to be able to click. So make the hitbox a largish rectangle, bigger than the text.

++ Nice gfx for the squirrel. Interesting shapes with nice highlights.

- Though I don't understand the need for the Christmas theme. It just makes it seem inappropriate at other times of year. It's not exactly Christmassy or anything...

--- I didn't find the joke that funny.
I actually find myself wondering though - is that green stuff meant to be diorrhea? Green? Odd...

overall
=====
It made me feel little. The button aggravated me though. You lose a mark overall for that.

Sk8erGirl14 responds:

the x-mas music was cause I released the movie around x-mas time...

yeah, you got some good points...all of which have been noted and future works will be more friendly :)

yeah, the joke is that so called "modern art" is crap... or that anyone can be a "modern artist" these days :/

[Pixelated: Ep. 2]

went into it, but the

----- Really - it started to drag at points. So much of the b+w section was predictable and I was quite disappointed when what I originally imagined would be a quick flashback turned into the whole episode.

--- The drawn mouths and pixellated bodies/heads/eyes/nose don't go too well in my opinion.

++ The end 'Oh, I can't stay mad at you' made me smile.

+++ Voices are all clear and fairly well acted.

overall
=====
Kinda dull. Obviously a lot of effort went into it, but the humour's just not to my tastes.

AlexTraynor responds:

Thanks for watching the whole thing and not being a dick in your review.

[PURGE.]

Very

Watched it through 3 times.

++++ I really like the look.

--- Though on the held frames where we're zooming in/out, it looks a little odd, how it suddenly becomes 'static'. Maybe you could have had a few frames repeating here just to keep the same look?

-- I think we should actually see the girl hand the flower over. That confused me on first watch.

+++ I love the way the foot-tapping is with the music's beat.

++++ Explosion is sumtuous, with the disintegration of the girl.

-- pre-loader could have been more in the style o the movie.

-- Maybe credits for the music.

overall
=====
Very cool graphics. Entertaining.

Totty responds:

Thanks man, this review is helpful. I'm making another film much in the same style currently and it's crits like this that make it much easier to learn from past mistakes!

thx agn
