BazzMann's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Animal alphabet]

:'(... NOOOO!

Those were all dead animals! That was mean!

Haha, that wasn't the reason I blammed this though... I blammed it because even though the idea was decent, the Flash was not... you sholud have at least retraced the animals, spiced them up a bit, animated them slightly, and actually done more with it... this could have been a decent concept though for a short funny film.

[Inside My Head.]

I didn't like it...

and I don't think it has a place on the portal. Sorry for the bluntless, I can't really say any more for this one than that, since it's obvious you could do a good job with a movie if you put time and effort into it.

SwitchBladeClock responds:

ya, well at least you have a little faith in me :)

[[Old] Phone Joke]

Haha, very good!

I have to be honest, even though afterwards it seemed a bit obvious, I didn't see that one coming! Damn funny! I took this as it was meant to be taken, a bloody good joke! So well done!

[Spy Vs Spy Ep.2]

I expected more... ='(

I used to LOVE that game, it was the thing I always used to play on my ol' Commador 64, and when I read this title, I kind of thought "wow! people actually remember and make movies about that game?? Cool!" - til I saw it.

It was a let-down as I had high hopes... The animation was decent I suppose...

I'm going to go sulk in my bed now!

Jszostak responds:

i never played the game... i prefered the comics

[C0PS]

LOL!!!!

I laughed until I almost cried, my god was this good!

But it wasn't Flash, so I harshly halved your score as a result. So you got 5/10,I was so overwhelmed by laughter that I was gonna spontaneously give you 10, but I like to think of myself as a fair unbiased reviewer.... meaning you get 3/5 (rounded up).

I liked this - I also know that you CAN animate in Flash, and that you're not just trying to deduct from the site by submitting home movies - and to me, it's fine if you want to try a bit of an experimental project - hell, if people blammed KNOX's stuff because his "wasn't Flash", I for one would be outraged; wouldn't you guys?

[Trigger Unhappy]

Someone's been doing their homework!

This is a really great submission. At first, I had trouble believing your credibility, with you saying it's your first Flash animation... then I realised, not everyone goes down my route of making really crappy animations before gradually improving! You obviously spent time honing and upgrading your skills offline, before making a project worthy to submit!

I'm impressed... animation is decent in both tweening and Frame-by-Frame, and your effects all fit in at the right times, i.e. scene-cuts, ect. I like the graphics a lot, I can tell some must have been hand drawn or smoething, which is impressive to integrate into an animation...

I loved it, basically - and I hope you continue to make more. You're a very decent artist, you get a 4!

thatdarnninja responds:

Thanks. The majority of it was handdrawn, scanned, and traced in flash. Glad you noticed.

[The Horror Psychiatrist 4]

Talent... VERY GOOD!

Movie... not so good. It had a story... just one one that captured my attention. Also, the SFX were a bit cheesy, especially the dropping/punching ones. I know how hard it is to find decent sound effects, but it would be much appreciated if you tried to use them (I'm a bit hypocritical, since I've used exactly the same ones as you have on some of my movies!! But you're more talented than me it seems).

It looks like you put real effort into this - however even though your environments have good detail, little touch-up effects like gradients, or unusual objects would have done fantastic wonders - also, more animation from scene to scene...

That's just my input... and I personally didn't find the actual content that interesting. Flash was good though!

TwistedAnimations responds:

It had a story? Haha. I never attended any of the movies to have much of a story. Most of them were just random acts of spoofs. This one had random spoofs as well as being one big parody of Night of the Living Dead. Thanks for the other input and suggestions and for the review.

[Northern Ireland]

Haha!

I didn't necessarily wet my pants with laughter, that's why the humour's slightly lower - but it was funny. I had a grin while watching it...

Those reasons are so true!

The movie itself wasn't brilliantly animated - but the graphic were good enough for their purpose (barring the flashy text, I don't think that went too well - and also if you HAVE to have a plain green background, pick a nicer tint! =') )

But I did enjoy this movie... I'll round up and vote 3!! Hope to see more funnies, and I might take a look at your other work.

[One Wish]

I know my numbers don't average out...

If you took the average of the scores I gave you for each component, it wouldn't add up to 10. That's beacuse a few movies have something that you can't grade in such a simple way...

The graphics weren't the best I've seen, the sound wasn't the best I've heard. The animation was fantastic, but not the best I've witnessed either. Big deal - this flash was amazing. Truely amazing.

The story was incredible, the timing was seamless, the characters were well-defined and developed, and it truely gave me inspiration and feeling... one or two of the lines were slightly on the cheesy side, but that didn't stop this being a really excellent movie. Well done, you should be proud of yourself for posessing such brilliant talent. I hope you continue to grow as a Flash artist on NG, and you definately deserved an award for this! Voting 5 all the way!

AligatorHead responds:

NO not flash artist on NG, just a person you know? But yeah Ng is fun i liike to submit stuff os i GUESS i can grow up here. but im just a cartoon artist NOT FLASH artist. but CARTOON artist. thanx

[Mr.bean: trailer]

Impressive graphics...

I liked the graphics, they were nie and smooth - and the animation was pretty good too - although more could have gone on in the movie. I like the closeups of the character's faces though.

A little short, but yes I know I know - a trailer. I just think that you should have not released this until the real thing comes out, beacuse it's like you've used material here taht you could have integrated into the main movie - if you do that now it'll kind of cheapen it a bit...

I liked the batman idea too, hehehe! Oh yeah - and your main menu sucks - you need to make it clearer and bolder, with the title of the movie more pronounced, but that's not really too much of a problem.

Basically I'd like to see much of the same thing in the new movie, but with more "action", and I don't mean violence necessarily, just more action-shots, more panning, zooming, etc - and obviously more jokes. Plus the voice actors aren't the best - but it's damn hard to find 'em anyway as I'm well aware, trying to find some for myself!!

Take care and good luck with the project

thecolony responds:

Tnx, all of whaty you complained about has improved, except the voice actors, but I keep on searching
