Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Super Fantastic Fun Hour]

Well made.

There's not much point in me saying much about this.

It's well animated, and seems to do what it set out to do.

Whether a person likes it or not is all subjective.

[Arrogancy: Chapter Two]

Possibly and improvement.

Well, the voice acting seems to be better (but it still starts automatically, which is annoying), and it's decent enough to keep me interested in the 3rd episode.

I still think I need to see more before I can decide whether it's all going to come to anything, but it's good shit.

Oh, and there weren't any annoying bits where photos clashed with the drawings.

The only reason I didn't give this a higher mark is because I was really hoping for more plot advancement.

Oh, and what do you mean by the way Arrogancy talks? I haven't noticed anything special about his speech patterns or voice...

[Arrogancy: Chapter One]

Superb drawings, but poor voice synching.

In this movie, arrogancy begins a tale of beautiful assassins, strange organisations and mysterious powers.

Both photos and drawings are used in this movie, and it does slightly jar at one point. However, for the most part, it is done wonderfully.

Regarding other technical aspects, the voice synching is - as I have said above - lacking, and the lack of a starting button can be annoying for modem users, who will find that the movie starts playing whilst they are doing something else.

The actual story seems reasonable so far, although I do hope that this isn't going to turn into a matrix re-telling (although I half-expect that to be the case).

Overall though, I cannot really make a concrete decision until I have seen a few more episodes.

Has potential.

[RancidPsychoJosh Sucks!]

RaNcIdPsYcHoJoSh might suck, but so does this.

To be fair tho' it is stylishly done, and it is only 8k...

Splent responds:

Thank you for voting fairly. i know the movie sucks.

[Quasi with the celebs!]

Maybe I missed something...

Basically, I don't know who Quasi is, and I didn't find that funny.

That is all I can say.

[a jolly good fight]

Pretty damn good.

In this movie, komo mixes multiple styles together to portray a fight between 2 men.

This fight seems to have no place in any larger story, but is rather a somewhat surreal occurance which is the main drive3 behind the movie.

To explain any more would be to ruin some of the jokes, so I leave with these 2 words.

Watch this.

[HEAT MAN 1 Complete Works]

'sno'bad at all.

I thought that whilst the actual execution of the plot was quite decent, and definitely watchable, there were a few niggles, most predominantly the fact that they speak for 1/2 the movie, but you only have text for the other 1/2.

Ah well.

T'sall right.

[PONGO db eaten by Windows]

Like all Pongo movies, it was short.

However, it could be said that the very charm of a Pongo movie lies in its length.

This, like most Pongo movies is basically a short attempt to showcase the animation style, whilst making a weak joke.

Admittedly, the animation is really nice, and I was amazed by the way the laptop burped, but like I've said before...

I wish you'd make a longer thing using this same style.

[Monkey Island DC]

A subjective overall score. A shady review.

This is a spoof of the once-popular computer game 'The Secret of Monkey Island'. It contains material which was supposedly cut from the original game, and is based around humour.

The joke took a few seconds to dawn upon me, and when it did, I didn't find myself laughing. I was, however, smiling.

The actual joke may not have been laugh-worthy for me, but if it could have been told better, I don't know how. I would have to say that this realises the full potential of this joke of questionable quality.

The spirit of the original game is retained, and if you look further, you'll find another short animation. This 'bonus feature' is perhaps not as effective, but is worth watching if you waited for the main feature to load.

[The Dealer]

An excellent example of dark humour.

This movie is centered upon a sick joke based around the issues discussed by the author above.

The world is simplified for the sake of convenience, but this in no way diminishes the enjoyment others will derive from the film.

The ending is an interesting scene. I feel that the director is asking us to question whether there is any clear definition as to what makes a good or bad action. Was the judge any better a man that the criminals?

You decide for yourself.
Watch this.
