Michelangelo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[One Ring to Rule ThemAll3]

subperb

oustanding:
there is only soo much i can praise
within this review. this is another
great submisson from legendary
frog and is what most would expect it
to be. the sense of humor is always
appealing, especially evil shrink-i-dinks
and sean connery as gandalf. the visuals
are great as ever and its nice to see a
movie with some length to it. voicework is
awesome and the movie was very
interactive; from menu screen, scene
selection, and other trailers.
keep it up!
score:
*****

remeniscent of monty python

booyah:
wow, this was actually entertaining.
loved the crazy voicework, something
like cocknye or a british accent.
the visuals were great and animation
was fluidly smooth, reminded me of
synj's style, but with bolder and less
refined edges, great none the less.
also, surprisingly this has made me
laugh, most comedy animations just
don't get to me that much. though
seeing how this had some magic off
monty, i couldnt help but to smirk.
when it came to the knight killing
his dad for no reason and the kid
having a pig fetish...eww...this is
one of the best animation i have seen
in a long time. keep up the good
work :D

[Cold Blooded Killer]

you cant go wrong

great:
like the intro rating because
i actually watch cartoon films on
the comp during tech class and it was
so unexpected to see that. anyway, this
was a great action short, but like most
action shorts, they lack a real plot.
who cares though, it has pure carnage!
the music was an awesome choice and fits
with what you are doing. the noir esque
feel of the film was also fitting and the blood
really stands out. i also noticed how there
were references to the old batman
episodes, ie: the bad guy in
beginning had thug written on his shirt,
just like the classic batman goons.
also the boom screen towards the end
of this short.

thanks, man... I try to look out for you guys. I've had occasions in class watching films and having the wrong person see the wrong thing.

[Litter Bug]

so - so

okay:
it was a little on the boring side.
though most education films are.
the voicework could have been clearer.
the visulas were good, but lack of
background adds to boredom. the point
does get through and it wouldnt hurt if
more people recycled, but i think it would
be so much better if you had captain
planet in it. whats a enviromental film
without captain planet saying - the power
is yours! that would be funny :D

[Strippin' Fatty Santa]

not fun at all

bad:
Its as much fun as stripping an actual fat man.
By that, I mean it wasnt fun at all.
Fatty big eye didnt say anything
humorous or was entertaining.
I guess its that time of year, so...

[Alfred Pokingstick]

solid

graphics:
the visual look was pleasing and enjoyable to watch, deservent of homepage material.
style:
though I wouldn't go as far to say that this is better then claveman, it was still great none the less. Very professional quality and presentation, you even had a spiffy logo.
sound:
everybody loves kung fu fighting :D
Though was that a remix version with sexy in it, becuase I swear I heard sexy kung fu fighter.
violence:
reminscent of combat madness, but not as much blood though. They were just caveman with sticks, excluding the one with the gun, so don't expect any ultra violence in it.
interactivity:
menu screen with chapter select, just wish there was an option for pausing it, but not that big of deal.
humor:
not the most unique or creative humor I have seen, but charming. Though I wish there was a better ending that had to rely more on him poking something with his stick, the plot went from that to a major fight scene?
score:

[O&A: 100 Grand Remix]

not to shabby

okay:
This wasn't that amazing, but I have to give kudos for the irony of it all. I would be pissed to if I was in that postition.
The cartoon charachures were awesome and the visulas were pleasing, but most of it consisted of lip syncing with the occasional head bopping. Which would be typical movement within a radio broadcasting room.
For what it was, it was great, but it was on the short side with nothing ground breaking in humor.

[Move or Die!]

not fun at all

bad:
I found it way to boring, the visuals had this artistic look to it that was appealing, but was animated horribly. When it gets to the point where you end up with a all these dead ends and without making any progress in the story without repeating some scenerios over again which last five to ten minutes long, I just don't have the patience. Not that I don't have any, but why waste my time on something that isn't entertaining. This had some interesting concepts, but just didn't work out to well.

[McMatrix]

so-so

medicore:
Nice concept of mixing matrix with fast food franchises. Though there were also cereal cartoon characters in there too, and hellboy? The animation between scenes looked great, but the stills weren't that amazing to look at. Sound and music was obviously off the matrix, but why wouldn't it be :D
