Michelangelo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Penguins]

meh

its a pointless animation.
the ending was probably the
only redemable quality of the
movie, polar bears having artistic
licence? the rest was only medicore
with lack luster visuals and a shallow
sense of humor, i know most would
disagree with me on this subject, but
im a little hard to impress when it comes
to humor.

Agreed, most of my animations are pointless. But hey-ho, that's how I like them to be.

[X-Men:Dark Phoenix Rising]

solid movie

another great xmen parody.
enough episodes and attention
should get you into xmen parody
section if they have one...anywho...
the huomr was very light hearted
and enjoyable and i enjoy the unique
cariactures of the crew. i thought it
was such a fitting end for the dark
pheonix to be enevloped by the blob's
gut...ugh...she just sank into him, how
is that even possible? like pilsbery
doughboy gone horrible.

[NG TT Series Finale -A]

better then Finale-B!!!!

squeezy:
a little of the ultraviolent.
very grotesque, but bloody
satisfaction. i always marvel
at your awesome animation
skills and how much fluidity
the characters have on screen.
*****
weirdo9:
impressive animation, very
subperb action and violence.
i especially enjoyed the character
designs and the soft blended backgrounds,
where they done in photoshop maybe?
the facial expression and smooth framrate
make this the top notch in quality flash
cartoons, wish i can say the most for others
on this site.

luis:
dear god...that has to be the the
damn finest animation i have ever
seen. when there hasnt been a pico
sequel release in years, this is an awesome
tribute. though the two previous entries
werent too shabby themselves, i got to
admit that i enjoy this entry the most in
terms of style, the other two just had
incoherent violence...well...this did too,
but how can you not resist the gorgeous
eye candy accompanied with the cast of pico.
i envy it with a passion :P

afroninja:
well...i like the concept, funny
there was a digital survialence
camera and machine gun turret
built in the aztec looking temple.
i dont think indian jones could of
handled that booby trap. the visuals
werent that bad, but not as good of
a quality as the last 3 entries, also
the character design could of been
creative, nice job regardlessly.
***
overall:
****+
this was what most flash
cartoons should be and the
amount of effort you guys
put into your cartoons truely
shows off, good stuff!

[NG TT Series Finale -B]

solid movie

i can say that overall it
was mediocre in terms on
entertainment. i do realize
that this is a time trial competition,
but it seems i have seen better entries
in the series that had such creative ideas
then this. i can say that openwounds entry
wasnt that impressive or unique. it had not
so bad fbf animation, but thats the only real
compliment i can give. the next entry, by
joem, had a nice visual flare and started
off with an interesting battle between
household items bread and jam, though
you think that it would of haved some clever
ending to tie it up successfully...but nope. the
last entry was probably the most impressive:
however, like the other entries, just doesnt
have that of an imaginative idea...just random
fight scenes and incoherent violence, but what
make me like it so much is its silky smooth
animation. from the fluidity of the characters
on the screen to the responsive use of light
and shadow, during that scene where the
character jumps across the screen with the
sun glare, i just google over them. overall,
it was a nice collaberation, but not the best.
though my biggest complaint is the use of the
same instrutmental song in each episode, it
was a little too repitive, nice song, but monotous.

[Valentine's Day Special]

woah....

well, i always find the amount
of grotesque violence in your
animations quite disturbing
and creepy, but thats why i
watch them anyway :P
though, seeing it was coming
from you, i kinda expected that
to happen, but regardlessly i like
your prospective on valentine
day cheer, a lot different then
the happy, blissful merit were
use to seeing. though i would rather
enjoy this then having one of those
candy hearts that taste like toothpaste
crust mixed with chalkboard dust in a
candy heart shape mold :D

[Noah - A Short Film]

okay?

hmm...not that i didnt
like this, but wasnt quite
as impressive as i thought
it would be. the animation
wasnt too shabby, but consisted
more of stills, rather then animtion.
the voicework gets the job done, but
seemed to lack any real talent to improve
the animation, though i would say the sfx
you hear in the background did enrich the
setting of the story. the only thing that this
cartoon has going for it, was the idea of
the box; however, this being a short, there
wasnt much info to ponder about, making
the whole idea a little cryptic. though i think
it might have to do something with ones
own inner happiness.

Thanks for your review:)

[Super Mario: Toads Rage 7]

meh

i didnt quite like this one.
it seemed to rely on humor
way too much then its original
violent episodes...well...this did
have violence of course, but it
seem to be shallow compared
to the lame humor. also, the voices
werent that astounding, but i guess thats
why you have that message before the
movie proceeded.

[Alex Kidd]

not too shabby

i really do dispise sprite animations,
but this wasnt surprisingly not that
bad. mainly because, one, its not
related to the cliche sprites like
mario or sonic and, two, the visuals
arent that overly pixalated and
outstreched. with that said, the rest
was medicore. i havent played the
game myself, but didnt seem necessary
to get all of the shallow jokes and humor.
despite the lack of some good humor in
this, i would say its a lot better then
sexual or fart jokes that most would
think is funny on this site.

[team laser explosion 3]

subperb

its so refreshing to see another
weebl and bob cartoon, it has
been way to long. the humor is
as great as ever, especially with
the parody on what seems to be
power rangers. though i dont see
what the big deal about the drawing
was, i was hoping it would be something
more devious looking, but all he had was
a buff bod and a cleft chin; he was bluffing :P
i think the ending was very fitting, particularly
the corny laugh everyone gives after a "clever"
remark. nicely done overall, hope to see some
more.
score: ****
kudos,
Mj
