Michelangelo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[29 Day War]

5 out of 10: medicore

good: plot and unique twist
bad: voicework was bland
ugly: graphics and no style
comment: don't get me wrong, but I thought it was good despite the score I gave you. The reason I gave you the score was that the cartoon wasn't pleasing to the eye or had any spaze to it that would seperate itself from other cartoons. However there was some good to it: it was original, music fits the mood perfectly, and a twist that was surprising, but not shocking. This might of looke good on paper, but when you make it into a cartoon...I suggest to try to make it look better and unique visually, otherwise the story was great...
overall:
2 out of 5 R: nothing too new or intresting (visually)

[Dog V.S Satan]

4.8 out of 10: medicore

I wonder why the quality was defaulted on LOW? That is probably why it got a low score in some viewers opinion, but the graphics were sub-par and the animation was okay in my view. Try to make it lot better in the visual deparment. As for us being shamed upon for overlooking this title...so what, I don't feel bad for doing so. Unlike this cartoon, I've had my last one overlooked and so...close....to the homepage. Oh well, you deserve the attention.

[NGTTXII - Bad Day]

8.8 out of 10: subperb

Too bad it didn't make it with the rest of the authors in th NGTTXII...I though this one used the symbol a bit more effectively then the others.

DifferentName responds:

Thanks. Yeah, i wanted to really make the shape have something to do with the animation. I think that some of the others used the shape really well. Some of them that werent finished were good uses of it. Like the one Luis hasn't finished yet, and one that i saw some pictures of in the forum, where he made it into a person with headphones on.

[(2004) The Movie]

8.4 out of 10: great!!!

good: home made movies, in-coherentcy of it all, humor, clay amebas
bad: didn't surpass the original klaymation
comment: hopefully some peoples dumb comments won't get to you, because there dumb...and have no clear logical reasoning behind it at all. If they didn't like it they could reccomend something for future clay blobs. I guess they don't understand you sense of humor and are more into mudane, violent, swearing, immature humor of that of a 10 year old. I thought that sound was superb, especially with the wind blowing. Also the voices were clear to hear without static or breathing. Liked it showed the surroundings of the animation...within the animation.
Overall...
4 out of 5 R: this flash is crunk, fo'shizzle with emphisis

[NGTTXII]

8.3 out of 10: great!!!

Nicely done, just by watching it it seems you had a cartoon for visual eye candy, one for humor, another one for art, and lastly, one for mindlessnessness...ness...ness...okay I'm done. It's great to see artists come together and work on it in there own personnel views and opinons. I doubt that each cartoon would survive on it's own, so it was great to merge them all into one great experience. Also a reason to actually to give a score for interactivity because most people just bluntly give it a 10 if they liked the cartoon or 0 if they hate it, etc, but I gave a score judging by menu and scene selection. Also I think you guys should get award for going blue within moments of being in the portal,

[NGTTXII - Greedom]

5.8 out of 10: medicore

good: ?
bad: sound, angry garble
ugly: so short I don't know what to quite think of it
comment: I don't know what to say bout this, but something for reccomendation. If you have a cartoon that is short, it must do something so outstanding, so that it surpasses the downside of it being short, this cartoon didn't wow me at all. I hope I haven't affended you, but it's nothing I've already seen before a million times. Just try to come up with something original and visually appealing too, it might sound hard, but that is one of the downsides of having a short cartoon. This one is shure a tricky one and it's hard what to quite say about it, like a love/hate relationship and I know I'm not the only one with mixed results. Sorry it didn't make it into the trial,

[Doll]

5.7 out of 10: medicore

good: music choice
bad: the graphics need a bit of refinement
ugly: no originallity
comment: I know it's a hard job as an Flash artist to come up with material that's original, but it's task that must be done. I don't know if it's by coincidence or just by stealing, but theres already an exact cartoon out there which is either called 2nd love or 2nd chance...? Anyway it isn't that old and was featered on the home page awhile back, but it had the same premise as this one, an old doll is found in the trash can is fixed up back to perfection. Also I don't think this is a cartoon to wrap the brain around since there really isn't a hidden meaning to it. It's about how we are surrounded by opportunities that are for the best and should be taken. Anyway...
2 out of 5 R: Nothing too new or intresting

[F U Clock - Ep. I]

7.4 out of 10: good

Never really got into the clock crew cartoons, but this one I really like! Maybe because of apocalypse clock, which in my opinon, is the coolest character ever!!! I just loved his style...the other clocks were okay I guess, but who needs them because I think FU Clock is overated. For future cartoons, I suggest you clean up the graphics by making it crispier and sharper. That would of raised its score to a subperb 9 out of 10 at least.

[Batman: Brutal]

7.4 out of 10: good

good: animation and character models were okay
bad: drawings could've been cleaned up a little bit by making them sharper and crisper
ugly: didn't seem like a darker batman, but more of a action packed one...hmmm
comment: I truely thought that this cartoon would be the one, but I thought wrong. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but I thought that you should've gone for the darker and edgier batman (Which I've haven't seen yet on this site.). It would of been soo much cooler. The action was good, but I didn't really like the idea of the Joker being killed in a car crash. Just doesn't seem quite the way to go for him, he's much tougher then that! Anyway, the action was great and with your skills, with a bit of refinement, it would be cool to see the original, dark and edgy Batman done by you. This is just a consideration though, also with more enemies like the Scarecrow or Clay Face.

[angel short]

7 out of 10: okay, but wait...

Don't get me wrong I thought your cartoon is superb, but the reason I gave it a medicore rating was because visually it was somewhat passing, but none the less it was okay. What really like about your cartoon and what stands out to me is the meaning...yes, the meaning. Appearences can be decieving because we are in a world were mostly everyone is judgemental and most don't even realize it (With this can be truely fatal consequences.). Plus the contrasting images of the angel and the devil, though cliche, was perfectly used to show this.

neppos responds:

My words exactly.
The reason why it's visually a bit less, is because my backgrounds seem to be quite bad.
