'Killer Bean Forever' Review

Jeff Lew,

You are a GREAT animator, but this isn't a great follow-up to 'The Killer Bean 2'... 'One man, one movie' is a very ambitious goal, but each of us has his weaknesses. You are a great animator, but not the best story teller. I felt that this movie was very anticlimactic. Maybe it was the over-the-top action, or maybe it was the voice acting or both. It just felt monotone all thoughout the film. The lines were a bit cheesy and it didn't help that the Killer Bean was literally invincible against any army. Even in front of an army of thugs, the Killer Bean just didn't care, and maybe that's the character you wanted to create. In doing so, you lost his emotional range and as a viewer, the Killer Bean was never really in danger. All the suspense was lost.

So, with that said, I move onto the action scenes. You had a few clever and humorous action scenes, but none compare to the bullet catch in 'The Killer Bean 2'. Nothing was that cool and heart-stopping at the same time. That's what you needed in this film to save the story, because the coolness factor was simply non-existent. Hollywood has re-packaged stories over and over throughout time, but there's eventually a hit among them. It's just how you dress up the package.

On the plus side, the scenes were beautifully rendered, reflections were terrific, rag doll effects were nice, animation was flawless and your shortcuts worked perfectly. My advice, two heads are better than one, especially if one is a real good script writer/story teller.


Still a fan,
