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.

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 =)

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!)

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

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.
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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
