Killer Bean Forever (2008) User Reviews

Funny, Exciting, Good Script, Entertaining

[jcvdxxx · 8/10 · 16 March 2010]

Haha when I first saw the poster, I thought it's kind of childish and lame.

But then the first act took me by surprise.

The conspiracy development gets even better and better. Yes, it's predictable in a sense.

But for the budget and the production, I say kudos to the movie maker.

It's nice to see something different coming out of Hollywood.

Nice touch with the Mexican accent from the crime boss. It's not racist, just stereotype & funny but not disrespectful.

All in all, you should see this movie =)

Has to be appreciated.

This has been one of those short animated films that was doing the rounds on the web during the early days of animation. I recently got to see this full length film and had to say this...a titanic effort of shear Grit and Dedication. This is for pursuing a dream.

As a film, it is pure smartness simplified. I would say that this is the first time that I felt appreciation is long due to such storytellers simply because of the recognition that at times are missed out. The story is simple. The animation is unique to a style that has been maintained consistent. The production has been done well within the strengths of the animator. Has not been in any unexplored territory to complicate the animation or the visual presentation which might drive the audience away from the principle story. Once again.. great entertainment.

I would certainly suggest this film to everyone.

Coffee time!

[iamwhitewica · 7/10 · 21 July 2016]

Being in the coffee industry I LOVED that movie.

It is original, funny and the dialogue (to the opposite of one reviewer) are funny and full of humour. Most jokes will not be caught by children, it is more an adult entertaining flick.

I enjoyed it and hope the author makes other ones. I have seen the 2 shorts but this one is great.

Yes it is NOT Dreamworks or Pixar but it is good, and at least not biased by the marketing plots of the 2 mentioned. Nope, you cannot get a doll or collectors cards of this movie, it is made to enjoy, not to sell crap to people.

Jeff Lew, I like you a lot! Continue your good work and shrew the commercial crap! Except if they give you money to create a bigger movie :-D (Then accept their cash and shrew them up!)

Probably the best movie ever

Killer bean front flips of a table onto a spinning chair and kills like 20 beans

Another live reaction!

[zachmosley · 7/10 · 6 December 2020]

It's very good in my opinion because you get a lot of gun violence in one cartoon movie.

Even better than John wick 3

[cam-47629 · 10/10 · 5 June 2019]

This film is truly a masterpiece in all regards. Action, Perfect, dialogue, perfect, animation, Top Notch. This piece is a must see.

It was okay

[jackarelli · 6/10 · 2 February 2020]

The movie's action sequences are probably some of the best in any movie. I said it. ANY MOVIE. But, the way they execute the movie's concept is forced down your throat throughout the majority of the movie. I still enjoyed it, but it could have been a lot better.

Much better than I was expecting

[Rectangular_businessman · 5/10 · 14 July 2012]

Okay, I'm gonna give some credit to this movie.

The first time I heard about it, I thought that it was going to be something incredibly stupid (I mean, this is a movie where all the characters are beans, how crazy is that) and when I finally dared to watch it, I was expecting this to be one of the worst animated movies ever made.

To my surprise, this actually wasn't that bad.

Even when the animation is pretty...Limited (To say the least) this movie takes itself very seriously, using in a somewhat interesting way several of the clichés and archetypes that commonly appear in many action films.

Even when the history isn't very deep or complex, and when the animation from this movie is extremely simplistic, there are still some worth-watching qualities in "Killer Bean Forever".

It is mostly a curious work, that won't change lives, but won't hurt too much either.

Moist

[kipgaming · 10/10 · 4 June 2019]

I'm moist what can I say. The cottonistic fibers of meundies are drenched in moist juice spring from the inner wiring of my urethra.

Unironically on my top 10 list

[shenahpark · 6/10 · 24 November 2019]

I was originally introduced to this film by an Adum and Pals video and decided to check that out; since it was free in Youtube. The "plot" is fast paced and wastes no time on unnecessary characters or scenes. Best action movie I've ever seen. I would give this a 10/10 if the lighting was better though.

Moist watch

[azeemnavarro · 1/10 · 8 September 2019]

Thank you critikal and adum for showing us this animation masterpiece. I don't even have words to describe how funny this thing is. Easyly, Killer Bean Forever is the greatest bean animation movie of all time.

Genuinely Great Movie

[kavinsuresh-38230 · 10/10 · 5 June 2019]

To quote the moist man himself, this is "unironically cool."

Pros and cons

[benjyboom · 7/10 · 14 February 2020]

Pros: Four very enjoyable action scenes, three of them shootouts and one martial arts fight Hilarious ragdoll physics A few badass moments from our hero and his rivals Decent shots, all things considered

Cons: No real indicator whether a character died or fell down A few action shots are tough to understand/believe

Best part: Jet Bean kicking the racist bean Worst part: the detective just leaving the movie, a touch anticlimactic

good

[pedropaborges · 5/10 · 7 June 2021]

English: Cool and funny movie because the characters are beans! Portuguese: Filme legalzinho e engraçado pelo fato de serem feijões os personagens! Spanish: ¡Película genial y divertida porque los personajes son frijoles!

A masterpiece

[ajvandalen · 7/10 · 8 August 2021]

This is one of my favourite movies of all time, and I don't have much to say. It's just balls out nuts to bust action.

Moist

[liamridgewell · 10/10 · 5 June 2019]

Moisture has reached its peak potential and has surpassed my expectations even with them being extremely high. Get this in theaters ASAP

...strange and entertaining. But not fantastic.

[jeniouis · 7/10 · 6 July 2019]

The animation is actually pretty great. There are some things that the animator obviously slacked on, like the blinking. But it's usually very well shot, and very well animated. Impressive at times. You can tell a lot of work and love went into this.

The story is simplistic as it should be with this sort of thing. It takes some time to get used to, but once you realized you shouldn't take this too seriously and stop thinking so hard, the story gets a lot more fun.

There are some cringy humor moments but also a lot of moments that made me genuinely laugh.

What I really disliked, and scored down the most for was the complete and utter lack of expression from each bean. All their faces look the same. So you have nothing but their voices to convey emotions, feelings, reactions, everything. And the voice acting ranges from bad to decent. Which makes the movie suffer when all you have to connect to is a voice.

Also, all the beans look exactly the same, save for their clothing. Kudos to the character designer the everything for this movie, for putting a lot of thought in the design and making the look of each character convey a lot of what their expression leaves out. But it's limited. It can't replace facial expression. It should be working alongside it.

Also, the sound design was fantastic. Unexpectedly so.

Edit: the dialogue is... usually terrible. There are some nice moments. But its usually the worse. The reverse could be said a the music. Its usually really great and fitting. But sometimes its really out of place.

An amazingly enjoyable low budget, but high effects animation film

[singh-n · 10/10 · 8 September 2009]

I watched this movie a couple of days back and absolutely loved it! Partly because it was an unknown animation movie for me and therefore my expectations were next to nil. However, I'm sure that even if I had reasonably high expectations, they would have been surpassed by this movie.

All the characters in the movie are beans and actually quite cute. The lead character is a 'bean' (Killer Bean) who works for Shadow agency, a secretive group of highly skilled super-assassin beans. Then there are other important characters of Detective Cromwell, Capuccino (the mafia don) and Vagan (Capuccino's security head). The movie is not really about the story, it's the style with which the story and different sequences are delivered.

There are several action sequences backed with great background music. Use of slow motion and music creates some very impressive scenes in the movie.

Overall, a very highly recommended movie!

Better than I expected

[miguelleao-04260 · 7/10 · 23 November 2019]

The animation is decent for an independent movie. The voice acting is weak, but it's not terrible. The story is good and the climax is strong. I could watch it again.

Best movie of all time

[cdipego · 10/10 · 24 March 2018]

I was pretty skeptical of this movie after watching it the first time, but after watching it the second time, I now know why so many people praise this movie. It's amazingly animated, and the ragdoll animations are amazing to laugh at.

The story is incredible and the dialogue is well scripted. I would definitely consider watching this movie, if you hadn't already.

This movie will make you cry, laugh, and also make you happy. Go see it.

moistened my nips

[thelittledinos · 10/10 · 5 June 2019]

Start to finish, had me moister than a oyster. very deep emotional story.

Epic Ben Shapiro Would be Proud

[caydencollins · 10/10 · 18 December 2018]

Once in a lifetime you'll come across a film that truly captures the history and cultural distinctions of the modern world the way a person can subjectively perceive it through our guided field of perspective. I have to admit, I had my doubts when I first learned of the movie. After all, Plan Bee? Will this movie even be good? How ignorant was I to even have these thoughts. Little did I know I was about to indulge in what may have been the best 2 hours and 21 minutes of my life. The movie started out strong. The opening scenes enticed the audience with a captivating enigma. I was so taken aback from the next-generation animation that I almost didn't even realize the underlying symbolism in the ongoing scenes. It wasn't until my twenty sixth viewing of the movie where I finally got my bearings together and was able to focus on the gripping and labyrinthine stratagem. The underlying analogy for 19th century distopianism and the evangelical deviation of typical orthodoxy was enlightening to say the least. Just when I thought the movie could not get any better, the increasing conflict before the climax began. I could not believe the complexity of the story as the main bee protagonist, Bellza, struggled with the everyday endeavors for a quintessential bee such as the consistent up- hill altercation of the fight against misogyny and the fiscal synergy of opposing interplanetary dynamisms. There I was, gripping to my chair as the conflict of the movie began. I was so enticed by the movie that I felt as if I was both practically and relatively apart of the movie. This is a special kind of high that not even the strongest of drugs can give you. Was I part of the movie? Am I inside the movie right now? This movie will leave you questioning existential nihilism and the objective skepticism of our perceived valuation of anthropological existence. At this point in the film, I was fully intoxicated by the avant-garde animated art style. That's when the plot finally aggrandized and I was completely stupefied. You could have lived a thousand years of isolation trying to predict the plot twist and you would never even scratch the surface of what actually transpires in the movie. I was so bewildered that I actually had to pause the movie so that my existential crisis didn't dive too deep inside of myself. Even pausing the movie was surreal. It's almost as if life paused with the movie. I felt as though I had actually become a cinematic tangent quantum. The effects are still wearing off and I haven't been able to watch the movie in several years. I spent the following seven years afraid of what outside of my house actually looks like. Every single day and night I live in misery because I became fully aware that happiness is never achievable. I realized that human life has absolutely no meaning and that no matter what I ever do, it is of complete unimportant and in years from now, no recollection of my existence will prevail, meaning that if I died years ago, died now, or die sometime in the future it will not matter whatsoever to anyone. But, then again, the fact that I'm living doesn't matter either so I might as well stick around for awhile, living in complete isolation, condemned to a life of traumatic memories and a completely corrupted sub-conscience. Killer Bean literally ruined my life. 10/10

Thank you Jeff Lew, Thank you

[keytofitness · 10/10 · 12 December 2019]

If I were to tell you this wasn't on my top favorite movie list, I would be lying. A friend recommended "Killer Bean Forever" to me and it was likely the most considerate and selfless thing she will ever do. Now, this movie is great. And I say that completely unironically. Watching "Killer Bean Forever" isn't just a normal movie, no, no, it's an experience.

I think the best thing about this entire experience is the script. Image if Picasso and Cindy Crawford had a child. This script is their child. The witty one liners, the creative plot twists, even the intense battle scenes just mix together and make this giant sloppy messy soup which is too delicious to stop eating. I was captivated by every scene. No scene lacked over the top humor or dry/ironic comedy which made the movie a true pleasure to watch."Killer Bean Forever" isn't the most unpredictable movie BUT it has its moments. There were some real plot twists that were totally unexpected. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I came for the dancing beans but stayed for the script.

Even though the animation is purely 3D model coffee beans either dancing or fighting, it's forgivable since the script and plot line are just so strong. Honestly, there is no need for high animation budgets since the poor 3D models just add to the comedy of the movie. In fact, if this movie were to have been animated by Pixar itself it would hurt the movie more than helped it. In comparison to movies such as Life's A Jungle, the Video Brinquedo films, or ANY Dingo Pictures films, the animation looks hand crafted by God himself. It's the Quentin Tarantino film of the terrible movie hierarchy.

Though I have to say hands down, the worst atrocity of the movie is Killer Bean himself. That little bean is so dang unlikable. The hardcore I-care-for-no-one attitude he has going on just makes him seem like a jerk. It's fine to have those type of characters, but since he's the main character, it just gets really freaking annoying. I was constantly questioning his motives, like was he doing all of this in order to get a good nights sleep or because he was ordered to or because he wanted to be a public do-gooder. They usually seem more like unfinished ideas. There was almost no redemption arc for Killer Bean either. I mean technically there WAS one but it was so poorly done it was ridiculous. All together, the only reason Killer Bean has any worth is because he helps move the storyline along and, to be quite honest, for his dry humor or sly side comments.

This entire movie just seems like one big joke. It just shouldn't exist, yet here it is. And I think that's one of the reasons it makes it so great. The movie just does not take itself seriously, and I love it like that. I'm mind boggled by the commitment of Jeff Lew and the rest of the team. I mean, they produced an hour and 25 minute movie about a killer coffee bean. Who does that?

All I have left to say is this:

Thank you.

Amazing!

[Orshabal · 10/10 · 6 March 2017]

This film is such a great inspiration for young animators, I can't believe Jeff Lew made all by himself, everything is so fluid. I wish I had seen it before.

There is, of course, room for improvements but knowing it is mostly work of a single man, gosh he is my hero.

Killer Bean on Moist Meter

[efrainp-20856 · 10/10 · 5 June 2019]

Let's make it happen, this a masterpiece. I cannot fully express how moist and erect this movie has made me. Viagra? No need, I've got Killer Bean.
