Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Squigo 6]

Nice series.

The graphics are great, your style is reasonably original, and you seem to working quite hard at this.

However, the first three semed to have the best humour. Now, you seem to be slightly scraping the bottom of the barrel.

And like I said a wee while ago, is your decision to not have a play or continue button actually a conscious decision?

However, at least it's short and to the point.

And most people seem to be finding it funnier than me...

[Here Comes ClearClock!]

Gave me a small chuckle.

I never knew K-Clock was into that!

[Always Coca Cola]

Was alright.

The graphics were decent, the sound was pretty good, the thing obviously had a modicum of phumour present...

but did it really entertain me? No.

I guess I just don't share your sense of humour.

illicit responds:

Sorry it did not entertain you. I'm working on 2 other film's which I plan on uploading soon. Note: I made this film 2 months ago. I've bettered my skills since. I was surprized to see this back on the portal page. It's 2 months after the making. It's done better then I thought it would have. I was estimating around an average of 1.80 on this film compared to what is available on NG. But needless to say one person can't entertain everybody.
Thank's for your review.

[Episode 1- Hawking attack]

I was sure I saw this a while ago and wrote a revi

Oh well.

It's pretty well done. The whole thing turns on it's fin when the Thundercats enter the scene, and it's all mildly amusing.

Great stuff.

However, I'm rating it slightly lower because I rate stuff subjectively and this just didn't make me laugh.

[Clock Destroyer]

Allright.

To be fair, it wa better than the score suggests. Remember that I vote things subjectively.

Also, I'm an over-judgemental batard.

Your graphics and animation were decent.

Sound possibly needed working on.

Next time, make the window bigger - the text at the end wa too small!

But, t'was decent.

[Jesus H. Christ]

Pretty good stuff.

I really liked the little guy whose head kept shaking, adn judging by the amount you used him, I'm guessing that you liked him too.

You do at least manage to inject more humour than in the normal video for a wierd Japanese song.

Decent stuff. Keep improving and keep well.

[The Stranger]

I appreciated the little jokes.

I also liked the horror, but utlimately, I thinkm that maybe this ends up as a Jack of all trades, master of none.

The animation, graphics and sound were well funky.

It just lacked...

... something.

Sorry.

[The Suitcase]

Could have been better, but it's still good.

Starting with olde elnglish lettering and fading to the sound of a single chilling note, Gavin Coughlan's new movie certainly doesn't give the impression of being a comedy.

However, the chilling sound soon gives way to a cheery doorbell, tuneful whistling and a small piece of humour.

However, the film soon reverts to its original state, and starts to display classic thriller cliches. It took me a while to realise, but I belive this ro be a case of dark humour being formed by a spoof of the genre.

I did actually laugh at one point, but perhaps one thing got in the way most of all.

The fact that this movie diplays a few things I would consider to be faults means that the thing it is ridiculing suddnly seems just a little better.

The horrible flashing text. The poor scripting at points. Yes, yes. This could be said to be further spoofing on the part of the author, but I don't believe that it is.

I think that had the author gone a bit further, included more irellevent pieces, a few little touches in the background for people to notice during a 2nd viewing, then this could have been a classic rather than 'just' a decent film.

Hey, it's a decent film.

I'm an over-judgemental bastard, who also happens to be pedantic most of the time.

Make of that what you will.

Oh, and the whole thing reminded me of the adult comic 'Viz' a wee bit. And I reckon that you should have had play and replay buttons at the start and end.

How about doind a remake of this some time in the future?

If you do, e-mail me. I'll want to see it.

cocklesby responds:

Thanks for the review, its great to get feedback like this, and feedback I agree with too.

[The Portal Is Not Enough]

Pretty damn funny.

Well, well, well.

K-Clock (may I continue calling you that?), you've earnt my respect.

Not just because of this movie, but because you seem to be making reasonably good shit quite often.

This particular movie is an excellent spoof, masterfully done. Subtitles are used, so people without sound, or those who are hard of hearing will be able to enjoy the movie.

What you've got here is funny, but you could've gone on for longer. But that would've just turned out a bit boring and eventually broughty the whole thing down. As it is, you show a bit of technical ability with the intro and outro, have your few jokes, leave it as distinctly clockish as possible, but don't then go on a fit of self-indulgence.

This really isn't amazing, and for humour to be great is harder than for action, or... (maybe because I'm a fat cunt who never laughs) or maybe I'm just talking out of my arse.

Anyway, this is a great movie.

I'd reccommend it to anyone who has the ability to laugh.

[Dr. Wily and Sigma]

I loved the way that Sigma met his gal.

That actually made me laugh.

If it had been just that bit, then I'd have given you a higher mark.

Thing is , strangely enough, more isn't always better. If some of the material makes you laugh and most doesn't, than it will seem dull overall, because most of it is pointless for you.

The gsraphics and sound are well done, as is the animation (although the lip synching leaves a bit to be desired).

There was something else I wanted to say, but I forgot what it was. Oh well.

Just remember that I'm not being an over-judgemental bastard. I just mark things subjectively.
