Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ninja Burger: Delivery #1]

Amusing and highly memorable!

This is one animation I won't be forgetting in a hurry!

The whole premise amused me and the jokes were well-scripted.

As you said yourself, the lip synching is really shoddy in places, and the moon moving so rapidly does also look rather dodgy.

However, on the whole, the graphics are excellent and I'd love to see the next episode.

When do you think it'll come out?

I hope you got a good mark with this. :)

Stay funky,
Bez

[*Funny Mole Cartoon! *1&2]

Not great, but a mildly enjoyable watch.

To be honest, I didn't really find any of the jokes that funny on their own, but the amalgamation of them all, along with some quality sound and a mediocre plot, made this a mildly entertaining watch.

A bit like Saturday morning cartoons.

I specially liked the way the alarm clock rang - it reminded me a bit of 'Mario Twins'.

If I see #3, I'll definitely give it a watch. :)

[Funny Mole! #3(2) Preview]

Hmmm...

Well, previews tend not to be that enjoyable to watch, being made simply to advertise the upcoming movie.

This holds specially true with 'average' Flash animations, where the graphics and short snippets alone aren't enough to get the pulse going.

Of course, there are exceptions, but this isn't one of them.

The typing part was a bit too slow (could have been 2x the speed) and dragged the momentum out of the trailer. Also, the grenage at the end was rather slow and as a result lacked the impact it should have had.

To prevent any slow-down, set the bgm to stream.

Also, some of the fade-outs would have looked a lot better with a white rectangle fading in over the picture rather than you fading out the picture (and having all the overlapping lines shown).

Still, it looks like an amusing series and so I may well have a look sometime...

[¡Viva La Lollergate!]

I didn't like it that much

But that's partially because I don't know the thread and also couldn't make out most of the words in the song.

[Who Thanked Who?]

A really unique and enjoyable watch.

Although simplistic, the graphics were rather effective and really pleasing to the eye.

The music seemed a little inappropriate, although when the tune started up, it went well with the other-worldly, oddly joyful tone of the ending.

The way that guy was smiling at the end - really made me chuckle.

The whole way the bubbles and the words were presented - really worked in presenting it in a dream-like manner.

Good work all round. :)

Stay funky,
Bez

[Pigs In Space]

Mildly amusing, but a bit predictable.

Would it be overly pedantic of me to point out that the title reads 'Pig in Space' and not 'Pigs in Space' as you wrote in your comment and as the NG title?

In any case, this was a piece of quality animation, with some nice sound. However, it just seems a bit too predictable.

The outcome seemed obvious from the moment the pig was kicked out the door.

However, it still proved an enjoyable distraction for a few seconds and the graphics and sound really were rather nice.

----------SPOILER AHEAD!!!--------------

One suggestion - maybe the pig's head should explode a bit faster? like, it could sit and blink for a second for comic effect before it just goes KABOOM! I think the sudden-ness (yeah, yeah, I know that isn't a word) might add to the humour. Obviously though, that's subjective.

Also, a play button would have been nice.

[A Woman's Wish]

Not really suited to an animation.

This is really more suited to a joke told via simple words rather than via an animation. It just seems that you've made it longer and more drawn out without making it any funnier.

Maybe if you hadn't bothered with the lengthy animations for each of the wishes, I would have enjoyed this more. Or maybe if you'd put a bit more effort into making them jokes in themselves, they may have been able to be entertaining.

As it is, they just make the cartoon a bit tiring.

[TMFO #1 (George W Bush)]

Hmmm...

Well, a couple of the bitmaps made me smile, one made me chuckle (mini me), but I really don't think a slideshow of stuff you've gotten off the net warrants a high score.

In any case, I found it got a bit tiring as many of the pictures weren't that amusing to me.

In responce to Bezman (11/13/03)

Well you can think all you want but it does have that score, and besides it dont really matter, cause just like i told the last guy thease types have been done before and they will be done later, and yet they still get protected, they are funny silly, they are not ment for the art or the pazazz, but for the humor, it was my choice to make it, and i am pleased you know why, cause it made me laugh, and in the end thats what counts the most, oh and thanks for the review...
