Michelangelo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[penndragon]

was that a chocobo in hell? :D

you have proven yourself to be quite talent
at flash. great choice of music, which was
fitting with the protagonist's sense of style
and happy-go-lucky mood, and violence was
top notch for a opposite effect. characters of
the hellish enviroment were not the cliche
designs of most animations and were
surprisingly inventive and original.

fbf at it's best!

animation was eye droppingly rich! even when
it has a very cartoony and caricature aesthetic,
right dimensions of characters give a sense of
realism in movement, more so then the ho-hum
tweening of most flash. though i can't completely
look at the surface of this creation, behind it, the
characters are very imaginative and have their
own sense of style. overall, it did lack a lot of
different designs and the background isn't too
unique from the norm, but i understand if it's not
your intentions to be too overly ambiguous with
the project; sometimes too much of an aspect can
be a drawn back. i'm sure you have more aces up
the sleeve and for the so called 'pilot' episode, it
does a good job of drawning you in, but leaving a
sense of mystery to captivate further interest in
future iterations. also, btw, sfx were superb, the
raccoon's laughter was surprisingly fitting :)

[Ugly Katamari]

so-so

i think the katamari could of been oh so0o
much more uglier and grotesque. otherwise,
background humming was amusing.

[Identity (2006)]

thank god

it kinda irritates me that people blame their own
ignorance on this movie. i, rather applaud this
for showing the triumpth return of dark humor.
it does require taste for this type of material,
otherwise you'll probably be bored with this
animation. the art style was simplistic in design,
but rich with flare and subtle detials. sfx were
appropiate, and it's nice to see something different
from the mundane potty or incoherent sense of
humor that newgrounds is now plagued with today.
truely a rare gem!

[Shoo Fly]

kudos

i find the genre of anime too over redundant
and overly used. plus it lacks the appeal of
other, original visual styled flash. however,
it would be too ignorant NOT to overlook the
amount of professional skill was fabricated
into the cartoon. on top of that, it has a light
humor tone of mood that is easily appealing
to all viewers, nicely done!

[Say Something!]

[Dragon Angel Beta Teaser]

go alamus!

like i have to repeat myself, but your easily
one of the best flash artist here. though most
viewers will read my comment and not realize
how much time you have put into this animation
over the past year, plus im sure all that animation
learning and practicing will be put to good use when
the final version is released. just remember to take
your time, since rushing a project will ruin the end
quality, regardlessly of how long it may take or how
much work.

anyway, ill keep an out of it :)

Alamus responds:

Hey there Loco. hehe, thanks for your support. I hope I do a good job just to make you happy (and to make my portfolio awesome. :D )

[Red Riding Hood]

subperb flash

music was highly fitting with the animation,
which enhanced the whole cinematic flare the
flash had. animation was rich with detial and
hardly had any moments of slow down and the
story was composed somewhat of a cliche, yet darker
version of the fairytale, but was still delightful none
the less with the innovative twist of perspective at
the end of the morbid reiteration.

[Metal Gear Awesome]

fast paced and amusing

though most of the humor was composed of
the style of having no direction, there were
the subtle inside jokes as well, which i totally
got a kick out of. especially the unecessary
codec calls, dumbfounded AI, and the
unsuspecting naked man. plus the animation
style was sharp and very eccentric in motion.

[Magnificent Chubbalope #1]

kudos

the style was adorable and original. the vector
esque animation, is a rare visual style, that isnt
seen much in animations [like fosters home for
imaginery creatures] and works wonderfully with
the characters.
