Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mortal Kombat Bloopers]

much of it

+++++ The 'flight' one made me chuckle. Specifically, the last 2 scenes of that one.

+++ The 'robots do crazy things' one made me smile.

--- In the 'friendship gone wrong' I couldn't tell what was going on.

-- When we select a particular scene, it carries on playing, though I think we're lead to believe it'd play just that one part.

- You use commas instead of apostrophes for some crazy reason.

---- A lot of it seemed kinda predictable, slow and dull.

===
Though much of it was slightly boring, it did get a couple of chuckles out of me. Ta!

[Boredom is Bad]

into another situation

++++ I love how the guy clenches at the newspaper. Great touch.

+++ Also like the swinging hair.

-- I think the lipsynch could have been done better. I've not done much, but I think you should've had the teeth/tongue maybe show for 'nn' of 'wanna'. Also, when I'm viewing, the speech just doesn't match up. Maybe it's because your style is realistic so any flaws are more pronounced? I'm not sure...

===
Didn't laugh, but I did find it interesting to see the line (of speech) placed into another situation.

For me, the clenching totally made the movie.

[Mistery Cat. Chapter 1]

if I see

+++ Sharp gfx.

+++ Loved the animation for the mouth opening.

+++ The newcomer brings a couple of twists to the plot.

- I think the bgs could look a bit better. Maybe try ommiting any outline at all? Just an idea...

+++ I do really love the chorus, specially at the end.

-- The voices do sound a bit too similar. I mean it actually SOUNDS like it was the same person doing the boy and 'mistery cat'.

Btw, 'Mystery' in English is spelt with a 'y' after the m. Was that a mistake or is it deliberately different?

===
I smiled through much of this. Can't say I've really connected with the characters but I like the general mood and if I see #2 around, I'll definitely watch it.

[2 years of animation]

with some

Watched through twice. My favourite parts are the mouth with the incredible saliva animation, the giant with the guy wriggling and the funky robot-creature with tentacle things for legs.

Was the green Blob for Mindchamber's enemy competition thing?

+++ Transitions well timed to music.

+++++ Fast paced

++++ An interesting variety of subject matter and visual styles.

Nothing negative to say really. I suppose a weak point for me was when the striding man came up onto the camera again and the few seconds following that. Just an impression I got, perhaps with the slightly slower pace at that point. Maybe it was also that my eyes were tired from trying not to blink. ;-)

Some could have been better drawn, but for a composite of abandoned projects, it's incredible.

===
Really loved watching this. Fast paced, with some incredible parts.

LaserKarl responds:

Thanks man :)

The green blob was for a game (thats got abandoned)...

I've actally since i submitted this realised that i have lots of better stuff laying around. haha, so i guess i could have done it even better. But i didnt really think it would be this "big", i was expecting a score around 3.3. Haha :)

[Social Experiment #1]

the sample

The fact that you actually labelled it as 'a social experiment' attracted me to it.

The fact that it was a wazzup parody, with that wierd 'spiel' on top made me chuckle.

I too fail to see what hypothesis this might possibly support. There's too many variables here and the sample too small for this to be conclusive.
