Bezman's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Halo Preview]

Keep trying?

Well, I have to agree with the other reviewers - this does suck. Still, My 2nd submission (I spent 2 weeks on it) was pretty bad, so I can understand that it takes time to get good...

Maybe in using the halo name you were setting yourself up for a fall? After all, many consider it the greatest fps ever and you obviously haven't done it justice.

The graphics are poor, as is the animation. The last nail in the coffin is the fact that there's no story here or any interesting action.

It's hard to make interesting previews or trailers... The movie will obviously be better, but I suggest that in future you maybe think a bit more about the action/story and maybe you could make something enjoyable to watch?

Keep trying,
Bez

Jepette responds:

Yeah you're right and all the other too. I had hope that it is popular but not. My English is bad because I
am French. I would not make a film of then!

[Java Intergalactica]

A quick project, I take it?

I guessed that because of the opening sound cripped from Y-Town, the length, the less than perfect animation...

It's still a damn sight better than most stuff on this site and I'll be proud if I make something equally good before next summer. (2004)

The drawings look as if not a lot of time was taken over each one. (Although with the number of drawings you must have had to do, I'm sure the animation still took ages to make.)

I like the way you animate both mouths in this movie (or maybe animate one and then duplicate it? That's the way it looks...)

In Frofrog, you seem to concentrate on just one mouth - something I thought was a bit of a shame as you don't immediately realise that there's 2 mouths.

Whilst I said the drawings look quick and that, they still look good and it's nice how you redraw some stuff frame by frame to make it wibble. Nice effect, although not nearly as nice as the actual episode. ;)

Basically, the graphics are top notch.

The sound, whilst you say it wouldn't win any awards (and indeed it isn't amongst the best I've seen) it gets the job done and to be honest the look and sound made the joke almost funnier for me. It looked like a beginners Flash (although it obviously isn't) in the same way that Yoshi's Island looks like a child's drawing.

I hope you understand what I mean as that's meant to be a nice thing! :)

I actually it rather funny the first time I watched it and burst out laughing (the first time since I got up and went to work). (That's the main reason for the 7 and I enjoyed the laugh so much I had to decide between a 7 and 8.

If the voices had been perfect, it may not have been quite as funny.

I liked the ambient music. I'd have liked it to go on forever though after the animation so I could have listened to it a bit longer. ;)

Is that all you? I take it those words are gibberish? In any case, I think the 'music' works well as an ambient sound and it really sounds like an alien cafe...

...not that I've ever been in one...

One criticism - in the button to replay, you need to click straight on the text. You obviously know how to do your hit boxes so I can't think why it'd be like that...

It would be much better if the hit box was the size of the whole rectangle.

Personally, I'd like to see you make more short stuff like this in addition to your big series. :)

Frofrog looks superb but you have a wicked sense of humour and so it's a real shame that you don't submit more stuff.

On a totally different note, I was going to ask you to e-mail me at [e-mail] as I didn't know your address. (You don't let folk access it via your profile.) Then I saw it in your movie... hehe

I'll e-mail you after I've had some sleep. In any case, hotmail isn't working perfectly for me at the moment so I think their site may be having problems or something...

McRhyme responds:

This sure was a quick thing I made. I'm sorry I didn't respond to this before. It was just that I was flooded with crapreviews on this movie. So I didn't bother reading them all!

Hope you see you review DF#2!

[STRANGE DAY]

Strange...

It was mildly funny the first time I watched it. I think.

Didn't make much sense, but I suppose it wasn't meant to.

hthedinga responds:

I'll explain it. I figure out how to get into Mario, but then I can't get out and my friend finds enjoyment out of making me hit myself. I then make fun of anime and kill my friend by punching his head so hard from both sides that it shrinks into nothingness.

[Megaman vs ?? ep.5]

,,,

I watched it to the end, but I really can't be bothered watching through the previous 4 episodes after having seen this one.

The music seemed well chosen and the sprites were well manipulated.

Maybe if I was a bigger Megaman fan then I'd appreciate this more? However, as it is, I just found it to be nothing more than a slightly tiring diversion.

Also, I don't understand who the person at the end is supposed to be...

Sorry for slightly spoiling your chances of getting to be the review crew pick of the week, but ultimately I just didn't find this that funny or entertaining despite the obvious amount of time you invested into making it.

Pikka responds:

You watched it to the end and I ask of no more.
I can´t possible expect that everyone will enjoy my movies, now can I?
I did not like it, but you still voted fairly based on how you thought of it and not just zeros.
I would be really glad if you contacted me and told me what you would like to see, or not to see.
I´m really glad you wrote this and was completely honest in you felt about the movie.
Thank you.
