Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[dark light trailer]

A decent trailer

The music is lovely and you seem to have gained recognition for your style of hair.

There's not generally an awful lot of substance to trailers, simply because of their nature. Because of their nature, they're not really made to be enjoyed in their own right and as such I frequently find myself questioning their point on the portal at all.

However. your font was nice, the action seemed fairly well timed to the music and there were a few nice scenes.

The final movie will be a rather enjoyable watch from the look of things.

[blowflies episode 1]

Could be made more obvious mebbe?

It could be made more obvious mebbe, with a pan down from the shit, or a quick zoom-out or something to show how it relates. When I first saw it, I didn't understand it myself.

Animation excellent. Flies looked rather cute and the one eating the... berry? had some nice expressions, with the shrug of the shoulders.

Also, sfx are excellent.

I think you should have the thing end with a continue button.

[Bionic Commando Outakes]

An amusing wee thing.

Overall - nice work and a pleasurable way to spend those few minutes. At the end of the day, that's what it's all about, innit?

Your sentiment in your comments is very true. As long as you try to make the best you can, you'll find an audience who loves your work.

Anyway, on to my thoughts.

!st cut - obvious joke but mildly amusing. Made me smile.

2nd - not-so-obvious. Made me smile. Took a 2nd watch to see Mario properly. That's a bit... odd...

and makes me kinda laugh when I think about it in depth.

3rd - failed to make me smile.

Soldiers landing on each other was rather amusing, and the end beating was rather nicely done.

I enjoyed it.

Pressed to criticise, I'd say the pace could have been a bit faster - he had that gun in front of his face for way too long for example and the 2nd clapper board took slightly too long I felt.

[Bionic Commando (VGDC)]

A bit crass and not amazingly funny.

Presentation is all nice, with voices fitting of the characters and a mildly amusing 'holy bejesus'.

The game details and links are good extras.

The main joke itself is crass and not all that funny. What kind of penis is that anyway? And when I think about it, that soldier pulling it down seems... really wrong.

The fucked up ending really is rather fucked up, and I had to chuckle in disbelief.

Not my favourite set of jokes, but it had no faff and made me chuckle. A bit.

[Barge of a 1000 Bullets 2]

I didn't like it. Others do.

Even after 2 views, I still don't understand most of it. Mario's transformation, the dude with the bowser mask Mario originally shoots at underground, the way the way Mario somehow manages to pull through the world turning real whilst Boswer doesn't...

I'm lead to assume the reviewer spoke the truth, but still... that doesn't explain everything and it's still a bit too confusing for me...

Maybe stuff could be explained a bit better somehow?
:-/

I found the alternate scenes mildly amusingand the graphics for the most part were excellent. Here's a few nitpicks though:

Bowser's arm looks dodgy at the start as Mario bursts through the door.

So do the arms of the turtles.

Some of the guns look really incongruous, looking as if they were drawn using the line tool and fills and not really fitting in with the sprites that wel I think.

As Mario jumped down the pipe, your skewing of the sprite to simulate it being at an angle just made it look horrible.

Overall: a nice production with a lot of effort put into it. I'd like to like this but... ah, you've got enough fans anyway. You've got your fame.

I didn't enjoy it, but others did. Different strokes and all that jazz.

[Awkward Nature]

Rather nice drawings...

To me, the music, which stops and starts again so suddenly, sounded faulty at first.

I personally don't much like the character design of the humanoid raccoon-type character. Sorry, but it just seems a bit too perfectly human to be anything other than a nice drawing. It just seems incongruous with either a 'cartoony' world or a fairly 'realistic' one.

The speech seems out of timing, with the speech playing at a different rate to the mouth movement. Have speech 'stream' in future.

Most damningly, I didn't find the plot particularly funny or even amusing.

For all I've said, the graphics were rather nice, animation was smooth, the humanoid raccoon was technically drawn rather well and the sfx wer rather nice.

[Aqua Life Episode #1]

A nice chuckle.

It really goes out of its way to be just a little different... and succeeds.

From the nice pre-loader to the increasingly random factoids accessible throughout the movie, the movie is short, sweeet, and to the point.

I actually thought this would be a typical cutesy underwater adventure had by some fishy folk.

I was pleased to watch some irreverant jokes and whilst nothing here made me actually laugh, it was a nice change of pace and angle from what we usually see here.

Thanks man.
