Michelangelo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Akira The Don - L.I.T.F.]

addictive music

i think you are a genious
when it comes to making
up great lyrics and beats
to and odd and qwerky
music video. not only
was it addictive to
listen to, but the visuals
were subperb with appealing
caricatures and frentic
happenings that is graphic
intensive on the eyes; but
very impressive to make.
im gald that the option
of subtitles is now added,
since the addictive voice
has an accent that is a little
hard to follow and understand.
though i just let go sink and
enjoy the music regardlessly,
excellent job overall.
score: ****

[MGS3: Boss Failures]

proffesional quality

i love the idea spoof of
taking the character
emotions and thier
pyhsical counterparts
from the game and making
your own spoof of the
casting. though i wish
some of the designs
were a bit more creative,
but the humor was highly
appealing and delightful.
the visuals were crisp,
sharp, and visually clear.
the little static effects
and motion blur with
the camera focusing is
amazing and enhanced the
experience. not only that,
but the cool and nifty layout
of the menu and graphics
was futher icing on the
cake, making up for one
awesome spoof of mgs since
a long while...even the first
i think to be based off the
third itteration.

[Stop Crying - Part 1]

solid

very realistic and
touching...though not
complete, overly
melancholy. the
visuals were quite
good, despite rough
animation movements,
and voicework was
sincere. storyline
is fitting for what you
are trying to achieve
and also interesting,
look forward for more.

[Lil' Pengy Ep.2]

unusual

very qwerky and bizzare
indeed. animation wasnt
too shabby and the voicework
was solid, but it was little
too erratic for my taste...
for it features animals
competing as a britney
stage dancers some might
get a kick out of it, other
might not find the humor
that appealing and a little
too odd...just like i did.

[PAIN: Angel]

subperb

though i hardly consider it
a flash movie persay, i
love and adore the art
direction...not only was
it stylishly cool, the music
was great choice and really
enhanced the experience.
though i wish more work
was put into the design
and direction of the plot
and if the monsters were
a little more creative too...
but ill admitt it was still
enjoyable regardlessly
and quite visual eye candy
for me to google at; fav too.
score: ****

[Spaced Out! (Pilot)]

not too shabby

the humor was qwerky
and the cast of characters
had thier own style...though
it was only midly amusing
and only has the makings
for a average series. only
because it doesnt really
scream creatively new
or groundbreaking to
me; nothing more,
nothing less.

grim-studios responds:

Thanks for saying why it didn't wow you over. So far, the next episode is looking way better.

[Glurk!]

not too shabby

nice ending there,
though it feels like
it has been done before.
the animation was unqiue;
however the visuals needed
a little optimization, due to
the rough around the edges
look. music was fitting
and the art design was
appealing.

[Power Star]

medicore

its just another mario
sprite movie, similiar
to that of every other
sprite movie in the
genre. the idea of
mario kicking ass
in a action short
has been done countless
times before and has been
milk out of its worth. you
think someone would try
to mix it up and add
something new and
re-innovative to make
it fresh and original...
but, this doesnt do it
either. the variety of
great music was nice
and for what it is...the amount
of action was satisfying. the
graphics and special effects
were nifty, though at times
hard to look at when the
characters become
outstreched and pixelated...
ugh! if your into this kind
of material, you will probably
get a kick out of it, but dont
expect anything
groundbreakingly new.

[HM: The Accident]

yawn

the pacing of the cartoon
was stretched out for too
long and the humor was
bland and uncreative...
making up for a boring,
monotoneous film that
was exhastingly long
then what it should be.
also, the lack of anything
except for voicework, which
was dull, further adds to the
tiresome feeling one gets
from viewing. plus its a
sprite too...which lacks
the quality of actual flash
cartoons; should play sprites
instead of watching. in short,
it was pretty horrible and
hardly entertaining.
