Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kiss]

Really cliched.

The art is nice, and some animation is alright (although the walking and running is a bit horrible).

However, the whole movie just seems so cliched it's almost a joke. And the dude punched the baldy without any apparent motive.

I liked the fade into the b+w pictures, which appear to have some Photoshop filter applied though.

Credits were a turn-off too, seeming a bit pompous and I really didn't like the way it just started, without a button to press.

Some nice art, but I just don't like this.

WOW, A user that actually writes a good review, even though he didnt like it, he manages to still have something decent to say, WOW im shock......so there is still users out in the portal that care to share. Shocking....

thanks dude.

[Majin's Downfall]

I'm shocked.

I'm horrified to see this surviving.

I mean, so it shows this person may be a bit of a dick. But it's not of any interest to anyone outside the clique.

And the needless song at the end bumps up the file size unecessarily.

biblo responds:

It's not needless. It provides the ambiguous atmosphere for the entire flash. Do your homework.

[Corky the Kosher Clown]

Stupid, but amusing.

Very simple - just a straight walking scene - and if there's a deeper message (not sure if there's meant to be or not...) I missed it.

However, the plain silliness made me smile.

Good job. Really nice audio.

[Tetris'd]

a bit unoriginal

It would be great if I hadn't already seen this done, and better. (With about 5 stickmen climbing up, I think it was...)

To be honest, the intro was the best bit and I thought it was going to be a bit longer with more of a story...

Still, if it wasn't for that other movie, it'd be fairly funky.

Good job.

[TSAH]

Great work

Great work from all involved. The animation was excellent throughout, nice presentation and it was definitely entertaining.

However, I didn't really find it /that/ funny - the only bit to get me close to laughing was the bit about the pie at the end.

You'll probably just think of me as a crank or something. but the humour just didn't do it for me.

[Cold Blooded Killer]

Pretty damn fine.

Some really lovely animation and some thoughtful bits, like when he used the decoy.

However, it all suffers from 'bad guy, bad aim' syndrome. He walks towards a man with a gun and he has a clear shot for about 4s, yet we don't hear a single shot being fired.

Then the 'hero' stands about for what seemed like 6s after killing another... you need to make your characters more alert.

Other than that, it was pretty good, with nice camera angles, excellent music and synchronisation with action to said music and some nice explosions.

Just make the characters more alert next time. That's my main gripe. Really spoiled my enjoyment.

A story may be nice but isnt' really essential. Graphics were quality, but can still be improved.

Good luck with your next project.

Stay funky,
Bez

thanks! I will try to keep it funky :o)

Some nice bits

I liked the way you got a bit of humour into the motions using simple limbless motion-tweening.

The whole setup was pretty good, with a nice line in humour. I was laughing as the tree-stuff started.

The ending, self-depracation, Kill Bill reference... it's all good.

I'd only suggest that the 'twin' should have a different colour of hair to help distinguish him.

[To Be Human III]

Seems promising if I could understand the speech.

No, turning up the volume doesn't help. The music's too loud in comparison and the speech is muffled, not just quiet.

You really need subtitles telling us what's going on.

I got the feeling there was a powerful message going on, but I don't know for sure what it was without the speech.

Include subtitles, or maybe 'speech bubbles' that appear as they speak.

Really groovy song.

Magosis responds:

heh thanks I may fix that here
