Michelangelo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[TMNT: REBEL 2]

love the look of the tmnts

i didnt try to take the sense of humor seriously
or any other humorous aspect of it, but enjoyed
the visual art style instead. the lyp synching was
very rich...to the point i couldnt stop looking at it.
you gave the tmnt crew a certain grittyness thats
similiar to that of characters you would see in ren
& stimpy...mostly in facial detial.

[-Transformation-]

solid

very rich, but rough fbf animation. love the bevy
of various colors and the ol' battle of evil versus
good, yet with the twist of it being personallity
traits, made the whole flash appealing and unique.
music seemed too happy for the mood, torwards the
end there, but made the experience different none the less.

[Peoplemation: Trash]

kudos

ive seen stop motion with clay, toys, paper,
and other miscellaneous, inanimate objects,
but never people. surprisingly it works well
and conveys a very charming style, with simple
humor that is easy to enjoy. your guys works
are always innovative and refreshing <3

[LR: Prelude]

slight hint of samuria champloo

the animation was delightfully sharp and
responsive. the violence was satisfying and
the visuals subperb in motion as well. however,
i cant say the same for the dialouge. the dialogue
was very cliche and derogative. though it could
be something you hear from gangster posers.
besides the preference for word choice, the
characters were very generic and wore basic
clothes and colors. the story seems interesting
from the preview, but not amazing...so far it has
the potential for substance, but lacks the style for now.

[School Madness]

eh, school violence isnt cool =P

its funny how it seems its been a internity
since the last episode of madness, yet you
can never have to wait for the next, with the
continous launch of tributes that spring up on
this site. the animation and art style is one of
the best among other tributes and i enjoyed
the in school setting. nothing like getting rid
of the tyranical teachers with a kitana and
various picked up assault rifles from the faculty.
sfx were appropiate, but music seem very dull
and lackluster...like something you would hear
off a old snes game. otherwise, thats my only
complaint then the bloody statisfaction.

[Project I.V.]

neat re-innovation

a new year comes as 2006 and it calls for some
change and i really enjoy the change of pace.
it still has that remeniscent style of pure
canarge like your previous works, but its
impressive to see it move from simplistic
character designs of your madness characters,
to full figured in project i.v. maybe more of your
flash will take on that aspect or unless you go
back to your roots with madness...either way,
loving the ultraviolence regardlessly.

[-Play More-]

the more, the better!

simple design, with great execution, adds the
key asthetics necessary to make a addictive
flash not only to listen to, but view as well.

[PALADIN episode 4]

animation worthy of a collection

as i mentioned above, im curious as to why this
isnt in a collection of a ng flash series. it has all
the makings one, great and awe inspiring animation,
with a nice blend on tweening and fbf movements,
and solid style of mythical characters and not too
shabby voicework. with this also being the 1st to
use flash 8's effects to the most, it manages to use
effective distance blurring in scenes. i enjoy the
classic asthetic it has with the ol' evil versus good
and the lotr esque backdrops in scenery and monsters.
hell, the loading screen fire effects has you impressed,
even before you see a second of animation.

[Xombie: Chapter 7]

subperb once more again

its sad to see that there arent many series on
ng that are worth seeing or waiting for. maybe,
for the most part, its the visual, midnight tones
of the flash and the macabre and horror style of
it that is so appealing. the voice acting is great
and truely adds emotions to the characters, so
much so, i felt sympathy when the party had to
part ways. which has this oppresive feeling that
all good things DO come to end, despite the fact
that we watch the series for the sole puprose of
them accomplishing thier goal. regardlessly if we
want there to be an actual resolution. however, if
i didnt know any better, i would assume that it
would take a twist for the worst (ie: torwards the
ending in 28 days later), where zoey would of been
better off with dirge and cerebus.

[ROFLCHOP (1up)]

damn, dirty, apes :)

of course kiki's are stupid, they get through
life by their looks and their charms. anyway,
the animation was colorful and crisp, especially
with such appealing, looking sprites.
