Michelangelo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ryo the ninja KID]

booya!

its a nice and simple
action flash, with
refrences to 'the
matrix' and 'dragon
ball z' of the sort. the
graphics had a cartoony
asthetic that wasnt incredibly
detailed, but smoothly animated.
music was excellent and well
chosen for the carnage that
ensued. a little dissapointed
that the violence was lacking,
especially since it is a ninja
flick, but it still doesnt mean
it cant be enjoyed.
score: ****
kudos,

[Circuit Skirmish]

robot fondness

love the mech action
style of the animation
and the motion of the
characters with the
visuals were fluid and
gorgeous. sfx effects
were astonishingly
accurate and fitting,
plus the music too.
also a nice way to tie
up the beginning and the
finish together.
score: *****

[21 OClockStreetTheMovie 1]

booyah

a nicely and proffesionaly
crafted movie. the graphics
were sharp around the edges
with a smooth color palette
and crisp, refine texture.
the cast of characters or
clocks are always appealing
and the endeavor of the story
was entertaining and satisfying,
especially when it has a meaty
length of 10 min. look forward
to the next itteration and its
nice to see such a great, quality
clock crew flick; also in interactive
menus with extras are a plus.
score: ****
kudos,

[Lilium]

fav macabre and horror

how delightfully creepy
and disturbing. love and
adore the moody atmosphere
that was bloody satisfying.
regardless of the lack of
story, the deliverance of
a wicked tale and awesome
visual art syle; even though
it lacked the motion of animation.
kinda similiar to that of a simple
kids story book, but gone horrible
awry, in a good way though. the
dialogue was excellently written
and the music was ever so fitting.
an automatic fav, hope to see some
more noir-esque works from you.

[Morphemon Duelists 1.1]

solid

even though it seems a
little outdated for a
spoof of those crack
addicted, japanese
anime trading card
shows...it was actually
good for what it is. the
parody was funny with
its more mature touch,
though its more like a
one hit wonder and i dont
really see myself coming back
to this. so a series doesnt sound
too promising unless you can
make it even more outrageous.

I can
and will
make it
more
outrageous.
hey do
you realize
that you write
like a japanese poem?

[From Above]

so-so

the graphics and humor
were average with a
light hearted coating.
music was a good choice
with the mischievous acts
and overall it wasnt too
shabby of a flash, but
nothing entirely amazing
either.

[Schoolyard Samurai]

hijo!

its a simple animation
with classic black and
white fbf graphics.
old school samurai
Bushido action with
a humorous and
unexpecting ending.
overall it wasnt too
shabby of a flash, though
not entirely creative or
impressive as other samurai
cartoons on this site, but still
worth a view.
score: ***

[My Childhood Pet]

meh

a little too bizzare for
my taste, mainly because
it was mostly incoherent
despite the relevance to
real life.
score: **

[Secret Lives of Squirrels]

booyah!

lovely animation style,
fluid in motion and has
a great artistic design,
also enjoyed the dialogue
that took place between
apposing ninja squirrels.
music was fitting and
enheightend the comedy.
nice to hear that you will
now be using flash to continue
more great works. though the
poorly animated scene towards
the end was still hilarious in a
some what intentional way.
score: ****
kudos,
