Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[All Your Base : CC]

Mildly amusing...

The pictures were nicely done and I liked the starting sequence.

However, I prefer original work to spoofs.

Other than that, quite decent.

[TransFormersBluestreak420]

'Twas allright, but lacking.

But like most people (it seems), I just wanted more.

The idea was quite nice, but the actual animation wasn't amazing - something that would be pretty much essential for this concept.

Either some great animation or a few more robots would make this rock.

As it is, it just feels a bit lacking.

BlueStreak420 responds:

Thank you for taking the time to review. I agree that it is lacking something, this was my first attempt at animating a Transformer so the animation will get better with practice. As far as the content I wanted to put interactive tech specs, sound clips (with animation), something along those lines but when I got to 400K I decided to stick with what I had.

[cut da pongo baby!]

Quite decent.

Unlike the other Pongo movie I saw, this one actually seems to have some intrinsic value beyond the (admittedly nice) animation - i.e. the wee bit of comedy.

However, as always, it feels too short and almost pointless. (not quite tho')

As Cort_Breeze said, it'd be pretty funky if you used those graphics to create a longer story with a half-decent plot.

It'd obviously take far longer to do, but you'd be pretty much be guaranteed a decent all-time placing I reckon.

Keep it up!

[Sonic's Day Out]

Some nice effects, but no real story.

The effects were quite entertaining, and I watched it through twice.

But even the second time, I could only make out the stumbling shadow of a plot.

A half-decent plot would have made a hell of a difference.

[Darth Vulgar]

Decently done, but I didn't find it dunny.

Some might accuse me of writing identikit reviews, but that's just because so many movies have the same impression for me.

They seem to be decently made. The sound is a little grainy, and other people might appreciate the humour where I didn't.

Obviously, other people find this funny. Otherwise it wouldn't be #1 of the day.

However, I don't.

[--tha--brick--]

Pretty funny.

I guess humour is a subjective thing.

This made me laugh - well done.

To the guy below, and any other guys, the button only works when loaded.

[Squigo 2]

It's allright, but not s good as the 1st.

I personally preferred the 1st one in terms of the joke and the length. I thought that maybe the shorter length was better. A joke was told and it was funny. That was it.

In this one, it seems to nbe a bit too contrived with the hairdryer and the dog.

I'm not complaining about the Physics. I accept that it's a cartoon.

But, I just thought that there was no real point to him getting the hairdryer. The way that it made me question the story kinda spoiled the whole thing for me.

I personally don't think you should bother appeasing all the people who called the 1st one (and some this one) too predictable. Tom and Jerry's also predictable. As are most cartoons.

[Xiao Xiao No. 7]

I don't personally rate this...

Okay, okay. I know that I couldn't do better and that I am going to piss more than one person off by saying this, but I didn't enjoy this at all.

Before you get all up in arms, I ACCEPT that it has some humour (which I personally didn't find funny at all), that it has a nice matrix-style spin (like so many other movies) and that it's just s well made as the others in the series, if not better.

The thing is that I didn't find it that enjoyable to watch. I'd personally much rather watch - say, Squigo to this.

A lot of other people love this, and more /will/ love it.

However, I just didn't personally enjoy it.

Basically, the thing is, I like an actual story, some sort of development, some sort of originality, something which seems to be a bit lacking in this episode. #2 was funny. #3 was slick. #4 was quite nice and different. I said it for #5, and I feel the same about this.

I'm just hoping that you either return to doing reasonably original stuff like those episodes I've mentioned. As it is, this is just another fighting scene. Nicely done, but I didn't enjoy it.

Remember, this is MY opinion.

Some guy (Vibe) was saying how you don't actually make any of these movies. I rated this as if you made it, but would be interested to know what the real deal is.
