Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dave Vs. Pierre]

Well funny!

I watched this after you said it was your best.

The drawings are better than I could do just now, but still not that great. They serve their purpose though and they're good enough.

The sound was excellent! I loved Pierre's voice and loved the sombre music that started to play.

I didn't like the newspaper. It just seemed to be thrown in out of nowhere, not be related to anything, stayed too long on the screen and didn't seem that funny.

I just didn't like the way it came out of nowhere.

All in all, it was a funny cartoon and whilst I didn't enjoy it the 2nd time, I consider it well worth watching.

I'll have to watch some more of Pierre and dave. :)

[your momma jokes]

Funny audio clip...

But that's all it is. A funny audio clip with no animation. And I doubt very much you made the audio clip.

So, whilst I didn't personally find it funny, others are obviously thankful you brought the audio clip into their lives.

Personally I found it mildly entertaining but was slightly dismayed at the lack of any effort expended.

[Castle Commercial]

Predictable, but still funny.

You pulled off the special effect far better than I thought you would have and it resulted in an animation that made me chuckle a wee bit.

Cheers for that. :)

[Atomic Bar episode 4]

I just didn't find it funny.

The animation was passable as was the sound. The reason I'm not giving this a higher score is simply because the jokes didn't work for me.

I don't think those jokes work better as animations than they do as 'spoken jokes'.

Ultimately, it just didn't make me laugh and so I don't consider it worth a watch. Sorry.

[Big the cat]

Not bad at all.

I really liked the bit when you first saw the Chao (before scene 1) and laughed out loud at that point.

The other jokes weren't quite as funny, but still conspired to make this an amusing Flash.

It's not the best thing here, but it's far from the worst.

Keep up the good work!

[schizotypal robot 1]

top notch animation

I liked your style, with all the lines flung about the background to suggest shading.

The animation on the robot was pretty damn good and the camera angles were well chosen.

The only real problem was with the joke itself. The joke was pretty obvious and I was quite disappointed that you didn't surprise me at all with anything.

Next time, if you try and think of something a little more obscure, it'd result in a much better movie.

Jokes generally aren't funny when you see them coming.

Still, as I said, the production values were really high so I have high hopes for future episodes. :)

thanks for the review -- there's nothing more useful than constructive criticism.

i did try to get a good balance between the viewer anticipating the joke and there being a little suprise, which i now admit is hard to do.

i'll bear this in mind next time..

[The Showdown (Trailer)]

I laughed at the opening joke

When he cocked the toaster and made the toast fly out, I let off a wee chuckle. But unfortunately, that was where the laughs ended for me.

To be fair, I haven't seen any of your other movies (apart from the dress up dave game) and also I don't laugh easily.

So that one laugh was enough for me to say that this is a flash animation worth watching!

I'll have to watch your other stuff sometime...

I think you should definitely do the full movie as it seems I'm not the only one who enjoyed this. :)

Stay funky,
Bez

Grizzam responds:

Thanks man, my otehr stuff isnt the greatest only really need to see Dave vs Pierre mostly :)

[Book of the Dead Trailer]

Looking good

Animation in this trailer was top-notch as were the drawings themselves.

I suppose this trailer's about as good as it could be, but the reason it doesn't get a higher mark is because it is nothing more than a trailer.

Sounds silly I know, but I'd have enjoyed watching it a lot more if there was something of a plot. I didn't find this funny or particularly engaging. It was just a nice-looking movie that made me want to see the final product.

In that sense, it's a perfect trailer. But whilst I have high hopes for the movies, this is far from perfect, simply due to the inherent flaws of trailers.

I hope that made some sense. :)

Looking forward to the finished movies,
Bez

CGSstudios responds:

Dont worry i understan, the main reason for the trailer was so people would know i was making this, and that bruce campbell aint in it, and i wanted to see peoples thoughts on the whole idea, but i understand, i hate trailers too... LOL... just call me Mr.Hypocrit
