Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kirby's Kalamity 1.1]

The end was mildly amusing.

I liked a few jokes near the end. (the nose-related one, the part where you tell Kirby to destroy the rock and the 'well duh' about the rock not having moved)

Apart from that, the plot wasn't anything great.

You need to sort out the button at the start and use an actual pre-loader instead of just the movie clip you have. (Use the NG one if you want.)

Nothing great, but those few jokes near the end made it an enjoyable watch for me. So good on ya. :)

[Links adventure short ep1]

Well chosen music.

Also, you've manipulated the sprites reasonably well.

However, the plot itself isn't that great.

Also, there were a few spelling mistakes in the text and as previously mentioned, Samus is a girl.

Are you going to make this into a series? If so, it's looking good and I look forward to the next episode. :)

Stay funky,
Bez

[Shadowed trilogy]

Really hard to follow,,,

Is this supposed to be an art extravaganza, or are we supposed to be able to make out what's going on?

I can see stuff happen, but the sequence of events seems to be almost random and it does all lead me to think that this is just a showcase of your art/animation.

Or am I missing something? (Please answer.)

It is very nice art though, and I like both the styles you show here.

I'd rather watch an interesting story or joke than a graphical extravaganza though.

Still, keep up the good work,
Bez

It is too short for the filesize.

However, one of the previous reviewers gave you a few good tips, so hopefully your upcoming movie will be better in that respect.

The key point is to make the music sync 'stream' so that only the parts of the music that are used are kept. It seemed as if you only used 1/4 of the music length, so that'd cut down a lot of the filesize.

Apart from that, the only other criticism I'd make is when he was fighting ken at the start. It's just nit-picking, but 3 dragon punches for the sake of it? And none of them hit ken? Also, I really don't like the way he goes under the sky (or gets clipped for whatever reason it is) at the end of the last one.

This is pretty good for your first Flash and I have high hopes for your next project.

Stay funky,
Bez

[The Rabbit E-Card]

Made me chuckle. :)

I like the way 'you' hold the sights over the guy for a wee while.

Apart from that, it was pretty 'meh'.

Your graphics are good, and the couple of sounds that are used are appropriate (although the gunshot should maybe be louder).

All in all, an enjoyable watch, albeit nothing great. Thanks for the wee chuckle. :)

Stay funky,
Bez

[Mental Process]

A good trippy movie... as many others have said...

Well done on being the underdog of the week.:)

This seems like a pretty damn good first animation...

Seeing as this is your first, you obviously have a lot of potential.

I hope to see a lot more stuff from you soon. :)

Stay funky,
Bez

[City Night]

A nice idea,

To begin with, I didn't really like the way you had the motion and size fitting the tune since it seemed a bit forced.

I liked it when the light 'sang' to the street lamp though and I'd have liked to have seen the idea extended further, with more lights 'singing'.

The cigar bit seemed too short, and the last scene with the 3 lights looked as if you'd gotten bored or something by that point.

I did really like the reflection on the water though.

All in all, an enjoyable watch, although I can't help feeling you could have maybe made a little more of the idea.

I'm not suggesting you make it longer, but I would have just liked to see more lights singing to each other... if the cigar had started 'singing' like the street-lamp and the lady had thrown her arms up in shock, that could have been mildly amusing...

As I said, it's an enjoyable watch as it stands.
