Michelangelo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Resident Evil For Retards]

meh

its great to see a well
made parody on resident
evil since a long awhile.
the visuals werent amazing
and the animation was simple;
however, does get the job done.
the voicework was bland and
monotonous, but it is better
then most flash entries. there
was a surprising lacking amount
of violence and gore, especially
coming from a series that is know
for its carnage. though i guess it
relies on its sense of humor on
the series rather then a flash
movie adaption. which i have to
say the humor was very appealing
with such inside jokes to the qwerky
puzzles to the cliche horror plot line.
though the humor did become stale
over time and became very tedious
to watch. even with the joke about
in game barriers, like not being
able to blow a wooden door open,
which actually applies to most
games really. also the fact there
was only six skits and only two were
funny, leaves a dissapointing feeling.
i was kinda hoping to see some more
video game nostalhia in there too, like
nemisis and what-not...and the interactive
menus and extras were only mediocre
and midly entertaining.

[Diary of William Ostler]

its so creatively twisted

oh, nicely done indeed.
the voicework was brilliant
and i enjoyed its dark sense
of humor, which was enhanced
by the drawings on paper with
the very interesting and unique
visuals. i have to say that the
style of the flash was slick
and devious and i can only
hope to see, and desire more
from it. i cant stand any other
"funny" cartoons on this site.
score: ****
kudos,

[Oh My God - Pilot]

booyah

the visuals are sharp, crisp,
fluid, smooth, refine, and one
of the slickest in fbf animation.
the visuals were also appealing
and stimulating, which had its own
unique sense of style and artistic
flare. the whole presentation was
that of the highest quality and
delievered a well rounded package.
the characters were unique, probably
not the creative of ideas, but each
had his own personality and style.
voicework was casual and does
get the job done; however, did
sound monotonous over time.
the storyline was kinda boring
and humor lacking, but overall
was midly entertaining. the quality
of this flash is impressive and does
make up for its own flaws, i especially
dig the whole presentaion including
the intro. which is very deservant of
its 2nd place award :)

[Roadside Philosophy]

not too shabby

the philisophical converstation
was entertaining and i liked the
many conundrums one can ponder
about. the flash had a very qwerky
sense of humor and a very bizzare
happenings. though the visuals
were only mediocre and the
voicework...which does get
the job done...however, is
lacking the detail and quality
that is seen in most quality
flash.

muy astuto y artistico

the visuals are sharp, crisp,
fluid, smooth, refine, and one
of the slickest in fbf animation.
the visuals were also appealing
and stimulating, which had its own
unique sense of style and artistic
flare. the music was an awesome
choice and further enhances the
light hearted experience. with
the vibrant, colorful graphics
and subperb music. this makes
up for one deviously entertaining
flash movie.

[Tinman]

solid movie

i like the thought process
that was being put into it;
however, there wasnt that
much of a connection between
the animation and the comments
you made in the authors notes.
despite the incoherent pacing
of things, the animation was
nice and i really like the smooth
color palette; though the animation
was simplistic and bland. the visual
style was unique and had its own
artistic flare. the music was fitting
and really enhances the mood of
the setting. just conisder next time
to actually have an actual and
consistent theme or idea.

You have a very
interesting way
of spacing out
your review. I
don't really
like to make
authors comments,
I am not very good
at explaining things
without direct enquiry.
Thanks for reviewing.

[Boy Machine]

booyah!

it was very qwerky and
on the borderline of insane.
the dialogue and scenes were
incoherent, yet oddly appealing.
mainly due to the very wicked,
unique, and original animation
that had its own artistic flare.
the voicework was great...gotta
love the british-esque accent...
and the music was vibrant along
with the visuals. which appeared
the animation was moving in sync
with.
score: ****

[The Oldest Leprechaun]

¬_¬

well...the animation wasnt
that bad and the music fitting
with the theme; however, the
humor wasnt that creative or
appealing. i do realize that
you know this is more of
a kids orienated cartoon.
though i still going to rate
it for what it is regardlessly.

[Super Mario Toads Rage 8]

booyah!

a lot better then the last
itteration of the series,
glad that it has finnaly
gone back to its roots.
the violence was very
gory and gives bloody
statistifaction. whats
even more noticable in
this itteration is the improved
fighting animations which seem
to be more fluid in movement
and graphically better; ie, the
after image effects when in
fighting was impressive. the
music was fitting for the hardcore
fighting..with rock music rammstein
and the voicework gets the job done,
but not that impressive as in other
cartoons. regardlessly this is an
improvement off the weak sense
of humor and lack of violence of
the previous royal battle and look
forward to the next; especially with
the last scene were the highly detailed
nemetoad drenched in blood...ooh and
awe.

[Tail Chasers]

subperb animation skills

dear god...that kicked ass!
the amount of work you put
into the animation does put
other cartoons to shame.
the drawings were highly
detailed with rich, smooth,
and vibrant colors that captures
the feeling of the futuristic setting.
the graphics and effects were
visually appealing and stimulating.
the choice of music was perfect
and fitting with the high paced,
frentic racing. the overall package
is great and has the workings of
what makes a potentially amazing
series on newgrounds. the characters
and settings had its own artistic flare
that was highly stylized; however, despite
the nice variety of characters on screen
and probably the ones off that didnt make
the cut, the storyline might not seem to
be that original...in art maybe, but
futuristic racing isnt that new of
a concept. this is just a preconcieved
view, but not necessarily true...since
the series hasnt started yet.
look for more promising
works from you indeed!
