Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Modern Art]

It made me

Watched it through. Smiled a little.

+ nice logo on pre-loader.

- Why should we have to press 'play' 2x?

--- 2nd button is buggered. In the 'hitbox' frame of the button, that's what the user needs to be on, to be able to click. So make the hitbox a largish rectangle, bigger than the text.

++ Nice gfx for the squirrel. Interesting shapes with nice highlights.

- Though I don't understand the need for the Christmas theme. It just makes it seem inappropriate at other times of year. It's not exactly Christmassy or anything...

--- I didn't find the joke that funny.
I actually find myself wondering though - is that green stuff meant to be diorrhea? Green? Odd...

It made me feel little. The button aggravated me though. You lose a mark overall for that.

the x-mas music was cause I released the movie around x-mas time...

yeah, you got some good points...all of which have been noted and future works will be more friendly :)

yeah, the joke is that so called "modern art" is crap... or that anyone can be a "modern artist" these days :/

[Pixelated: Ep. 2]

went into it, but the

----- Really - it started to drag at points. So much of the b+w section was predictable and I was quite disappointed when what I originally imagined would be a quick flashback turned into the whole episode.

--- The drawn mouths and pixellated bodies/heads/eyes/nose don't go too well in my opinion.

++ The end 'Oh, I can't stay mad at you' made me smile.

+++ Voices are all clear and fairly well acted.

Kinda dull. Obviously a lot of effort went into it, but the humour's just not to my tastes.

Thanks for watching the whole thing and not being a dick in your review.

[PURGE.]

Very

Watched it through 3 times.

++++ I really like the look.

--- Though on the held frames where we're zooming in/out, it looks a little odd, how it suddenly becomes 'static'. Maybe you could have had a few frames repeating here just to keep the same look?

-- I think we should actually see the girl hand the flower over. That confused me on first watch.

+++ I love the way the foot-tapping is with the music's beat.

++++ Explosion is sumtuous, with the disintegration of the girl.

-- pre-loader could have been more in the style o the movie.

-- Maybe credits for the music.

Very cool graphics. Entertaining.
