Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Enron Fear Factor]

Well done.

I didn't get all the jokes, but I l;aughed at the ones I did get. Or, I faintly smiled at least.

But I did laugh once. That on its own merits you a 5. Now, for the whole way the thing is put together, I'll give you a... 6.

Partially because I like my scores to be subjective, not objective, and this maybe wasn't exactly for me...

But I might show this to my dad.

He'll probably love it!

[The Salesman]

Yeah. I like the way you've done this.

The way you have the constant stream of related jokes about the same thing, with no interruption...

But then again,. maybe it's all too much. I mean, I didn't actually laugh at any of them, and they all started to get a bit predictable and samey.

Yeah, sure, I didn't know when a particular joke was going to come, but none of them were amazingly amazing or anything.

Maybe if you /had/ had some cinematics, this might have had more effect. Or maybe not.

Actually, probably not.

I tell you what. Just do the same thing with a different subject mnatter, and I'll watch that. And I'll have a biot more of a think about this little format you've got here.

[Robot Frank-Tribute]

I'd definitely like to see more.

I thought highly of the artwork and sound, and was impressed that you used subtitles to cater for those without sound, or those with hearing difficulties. (Like myself, at some times...)

(But dark red on Black? Make the red a bit lighter.)

However, the reason why I've scored you lowly is because you've got a nice bit of humour, and probably some great characters...

But I didn't find the humour that funny, and the animation wasn't really enough to make me want to click the link.

Maybe an introduction? Like a Flash adaptation of the first few episodes? Then you could introduce uncultured NG guys - like me - to Robot Frank.

By the way, I hope you understand that I appreciate how good your Flash is, and that this is all just my own personal opinion.

fourchinnigan responds:

We haven't started work on the series yet. This was just a little experiment for me to play with the characters a little. When the series comes, you will get a lot more. I need to check with the Robot Frank creator and make sure he doesn't mind it being on NG. We have already agreed to have them on his site and mine, but I haven't mentioned NG to him yet.

[Xiao Xiao Cityplaza]

The previous guy thought...

that this was unoriginal but still excellent, and deserving of an 8.

I personally like to see something new in my Flash, so for me, this wasn't that great.

Yeah. It's basically a spoof of Xiao Xiao 3. For this very reason, Xiao Xiao lovers will, well, love it.

However, I don't really call myself a Xiao Xiao lover.

And I definitely don't love this.

Not enough plot.

[Fast BreakV2]

For a second there, I thought I'd already seen it.

I'm not really convinced that you were justified in resubmitting this just for 1 alternative soundtrack. If you were going to re-submit it, maybe you could have... I dunno. Done more to change it.

The original soundtrack was probably better, but it just needed a bit more variation at a few points. If you'd made it 4 or 5 loops instead of 1, that might have been the way to go.

I might be mistaken, but isn't the roar missing in the new version?

Actually, I dunno. But basically, this is - in my opinion - no better than the original, and I'm starting to think that the original single loop style was pretty funky in the first place.

Hope you can work out what I'm trying to say.

Ember responds:

don't talk shit

[Stephen Hawking Christmas]

'It just had to be done'

The wee notice made me think better of you guys, but I still don't find this joke funny at all.

I just find it a wee bitty sick.

[Lil Stupid Sticks]

Pretty funky...

But it really should have stopped at the end instead of repeating after half a second.

The whole thing was reasonably well done. Well better than I could do, anyway.

[Cyberslap]

Mildly amusing.

But still... unless I was going to actually use this, it's pretty pointless.

Well made tho'

Love the writing at the start. Did you use a paintbrush in Flash to do that?

glish responds:

The point is to actually use it!

BTW, I used a font for the text & broke it apart.

[Paranoia 2]

Pretty damn funky.

You seem to have pretty much achieved what you set out to do. Well done.

However, it still seemed a bit... I dunno...

Dry.

[When Bomberman poops]

hmm yeah that was intense.

This piece of work clearly reflects upon the troubles of a modern society. We try to do everything too fast, trying to do the best we can, and in the end it is all for naught. All that struggle, hard work and effort, in the end, is the very thing that kills us.

Seriously tho', I didn't like this. I'm going to stick to your poop-less movies.
