BazzMann's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Just Another Day 2- Again]

It wasn't that bad!!!

Why is everyone reviewing this movie so half-heartedly? Sure, it didn't make complete sense, but it wasn't meant to be a serious movie! Personally, I think the wit and humour could have been a lot better, but script-writing comes with practice. And that's what this guy is doing - practicing. I liked the voice-acting, it was pretty good quality. And though the graphics were nowhere near perfect, I'm giving them a reasonable 5 because they were fitting to the style of the movie, and I could easily make out what they were!

So basically to all you people who just write "WTF" or "?????"... go drown on your own sweat!

YAY

[Pimp'n Preview]

This was good...

I liked this. It's obviously not front-page material or anything, it's just good quality portal-material. I can't wait for the actual real movie, I predict that to get a better mark - I'm giving you a well-deserved 2 for this one!

As long as you put some witty humour into the main movie, and get some bloody violence for the NG sickos, it will do good! I liked your use of animation, I know how hard it is to do whole frame-by-frame in a movie, so you took the interesting alternative of working different small parts of the bodies, like the eyes. Much more efficient, but also looks nice for the user!

Keep up the good work!

FourStar responds:

thanks for the review, anyways, i plan on irish pimp killing people like crazy in the real thing

[Jesus in... The MATRIX]

I liked it... kinda

Hey, I could see that you put a lot of effort into making this, and on the review bar, Ive given it a 3 because Newgrounds needs hard work... ORIGINAL hard work. But even though I did watch it all through and think it was pretty good... it was actually hard to watch. Im not exactly sure why, but for 1, I had to turn my speakers RIGHT the way up to make out the dialogue... the dialogue itself was good... but still...

And for a movie that is 735kb, I can't understand how the quality of sound was bad. Either get a better microphone, or put the publish settings up for sound. BUT you also probably want to take the image quality down to cut that filesize down... theres nothing worse than an average movie being over a mb big! But good work, and as this is your first (not blammed) submission, Id say that youve done pretty good. In someways its better than my first (and only surviving) submission... but my animation is better! =)

Well, keep the good work up, and I expect a lot more good work in the portal from you!

stealmyinternet responds:

cool. Is mine ORIGINAL? I dont like the way you emphasized ORIGINAL. Is there a hidden meaning there?

[MGS: Shopping]

Brilliant! i loved it!

Every now and then, you get a gem in the portal. Something that isnt good enough for Tom Fulp to polish and stick on the front page (or i could be wrong, he might), but something that enthralls the viewer throughout. This is one of those movies. I loved it! It definately had the MGS-feel, with your own unique touch. Now, constructive critisism isnt saying "theres room for improvement..." - the only advice I have is - dont repeat this style too often, just keep things unique! And keep making great movies!

Thanks for helping to regenerate the portal to how it was pre-sticks 'n' clocks! Come on people, we can do it!

MetalMaverick responds:

Well if your referring to my style of drawing, that's really all I know. After my Zelda animation however, I do plan to take my style in a slightly new and more serious direction. I just hope it'll work.

[The Reign ep 5-1]

It was good, but...

I only could watch this halfway through. Im sorry, but i got bored quite frankly. The writing would have been better at automatic delay intervals, and in a better layout, without being half-invisible with Alpha settings. I couldnt watch it all the way through as the content in itself wasnt spectacular enough for me to watch. HOWEVER!!! The graphics were of a reasonable/suitable standard, but the animation seriously needs work to become smoother. I understand how hard it is to make a movie, though. Just look at some of my submitted ones, they are by no means the best

I would say that this movie had far too much reading... interactive stories are left to the pros... but by all means it was pretty good flash. Just get a good idea that needs less thinking to watch, and clicking to play, and I will be supporting it 100%! Keep on designing...

TESM responds:

Thank you!!! If you have not seen 5-2, see it, I think it works better. Plus, I'm working woth frame by frame action now, so I really appreciate your review, and I'm glad you like it somewhat... I appreciate and honest review that tells me what I need to get better, unlike bongojim...
Anyway, thank you very much I will work hard for each and every one of the portal veiwers...
Once again, thanks, (3 sixes, and 1 five, thanks!)
