Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Declaration of Revocation]

it made me

+++ Some parts of the speech made me smile.

+ Bill Gates as Adolf Hitler was mildly amusing.

+ Rocking tune

--- Fixed-speed progress is annoying. For most of it (specially the opening screens), it was too slow, then a couple of pages flicked by before I had time to read them (the pages about french fries/beer).

-- Numbers are often missing or flash by for one frame.

I'd read this before and it made me smile. However, the re-packaging really added nothing to it and, on the whole, actually resulted in something worse.

Excuse me while I cry.

[SM-Bring it all Back]

chirpy

+++++ Love the splash pic (just above the play button). Great textures.

+++ Funny little frames for the button.

++++ Joyful tone.

-- I felt that the colours' saturations were badly chosen. I reckon you should try making the characters (the main focus) MORE saturated than the rest, not less.

--- In the part where they're moving towards the screen, the flowers seem to be going in the wrong direction.

----- Too short. Ends with no conclusion and breaks the rhythm horribly.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this submission, with its chirpy mood. Disappointed when it ended.

I suggest you keep going.

[How to submit.]

many would do well

I was really impressed how you brought a 'slideshow' to life. The simple changes do well to illustrate your points and the way it normally goes off is actually quite visually appealing.

The menu is great and the fireworks at the start/end are rather stylishly drawn.

Only criticism is its limited nature and the fact that I found it not amazingly funny. Sure, I agree with your points and some made me smile, but it's not the greatest material... I never came close to chuckling.

Still, it's a flash I enjoyed and many would do well to watch.

Ohls responds:

Another great review. Only thing you forgot was to comment on the elevator music hehe.

As with most of my other old stuff. I found them a lot better when they were made. I remember thinking this was hilarious. I don't think so now though.

[ASCII Animation]

parts, like the tractor

You should set music to stream, so the end's automatically cut off. Just now, the filesize is larger than needs be.

Congrats on getting this onto NG. I do love the idea, though it could be taken much, much further. It's obvious that it's just a test, with all the random things coming on and no real coherence. Not even any cause-and-effect flow that we see in some random flashes.

Technically, I think it'd look cool if all the letters were kept on a grid. Very possible.

Think more about the letters you use.

And definitely don't rotate stuff if you're trying to emulate the ASCII look.

I liked some parts, like the tractor and the fire, but it's more of a test than a real animation imo.

Still enjoyed the style.

KyleDaFox responds:

Yes, it was a test to see if people liked it. People do so I'm going to start a new one. The filesize is 340kb, that's not much, and I don't want it to just end right away when you finish the animation. I'll be getting a new ASCII animation on NG in about a month, it'll have some sort of a followable plot. Thanks for taking the time to review it:)
