Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[...They Were Robots? #1]

Nice stuff. :)

The title was excellent as was the voice-over (which made me chuckle a bit).

The actual joke was a tad predictable as soon as the name 'Abraham Lincoln' popped up on the screen but it was still a joy to watch, with lovely wisuals and a nicely smudged (I presume) bitmap as a background.

You're obviously extremely talented.

I eagerly await another animation from you (specifically, more from the cosmonauts). When do you think it will be released?

[Nich Cosmos: Episode 1]

Seemed a bit cut short

Your art was excellent. Nice, clean lines with excellent colours and smooth animation.

The lip synch was great as was the music and voice recording.

The back-plot seems great and if there was an episode 2 out yet, I'd have definitely watched it straight away.

My only real gripes were the lack of play/replay buttons and the fact the movie seems a bit cut short.

It would be nice to have a play button at the start and a re-play button at the end. These are things I really think every animation made in Flash should have.

The ending came as a slight bit of a shock to me, mainly because of the way the credits rolled right at the end.

Thinking about it, it's longer than many entries and it does set up the plot nicely, but I was just hoping I'd get to see the cosmonauts in action.

This could be a brilliant series (I'll definitely watch episode 2 when I see it up) but just now, it's a bit early to give this a higher mark.

Not to my taste, but a quality effort.

I appreciate the many hours of work that must have gone into this, and it's one of the better examples of its genre that I've seen.

I just don't really find these sort of things particularly amusing.

I never realised these were called 'animutations', so in future I'll try to steer clear of anything describing itself as such.

I did like the way you wrote your own interpretation of the lyrics on a karaoke-style bit at the bottom, and the movie had a lot more variation than most.

The picture with faeces was a bit rank and unneeded and maybe it would be an idea to chuck all your ideas into one single shorter effort and that way up the variety even more, but I suppose I can't really come expecting a total reinvention of the style.

As I said, it's good work for the type, but not to my taste at all.

Lovely

I really love the parts when your characters are cel-shaded.

They look great all the time, but it's when you use your bold shading that they really come alive and seem so individual.

The story seemed fairly self-explanatory to me, although I'm glad you posted something for me to read after the viewing.

Graphics, music, plot and pacing were all strong and there was nothing to really let it down.

Overall, it was an excellent watch and one I won't be forgetting in a hurry.

The part when the fly went into the old man's ear really made me squirm... I know it's just a cartoon , but still...
