Michelangelo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[NI`N JA]

not too shabby

Nice choice of music.
Animation was great, but visuals could of been better. Did like the special effects, very neat.
Liked the violence, top notch and bloody.
Liked the cool effect added to the voicework.
The ending seemed corny though and out of place and awkard. Meaning was that intentional or not.
Overall it was pleasent and the animation was solid. Liked how the ninja with the bo staff moved so smoothly. Just put more work into the characters looks, such as more detail then a single hole for eyes. Also optimize the characters a bit becuase they looked rough around the edges, very deservent of attention.
3/5

[Cool Things 176]

god awful

Did like the apearence of:
squeeky clock
dead baby
alien
At times it was nicely animated, but other times...ugh. This really isn't new becuase incoherent, random videos have been done before and aren't pleasing, but at least it was flash.
Try to actually do something with your talent.
1/5

Thanks for the constructive critisism. :)
And by Squeeky clock, you mean Sqeezy, right?

[Douche Are Fun Collection]

booyah!

Main Entry: douche
Pronunciation: 'düsh
1 a : a jet or current especially of water directed against a part or into a cavity of the body b : an act of cleansing with a douche
2 : a device for giving douches
3 : British : a rude awakening

hmm...
Explain this douche, I know douche bag, but douche? I can see people laughing at my review for my stupidity. I guess I should of already know this, besides my inquiry, this animation was great.
Nice appeal and charm.
Pleasent and stylish looks.
Voicework clear and adds character.
Though it was short it, consisted of two episodes, so I'm pleased. Him getting shot in the second was unexpected and humorous, made my day!
4/5
kudos,

[The Failures - Episode 2]

not too shabby

hmm
Anticlockclock has been in a lot of animations lately, maybe that's becuase he's popular =P
Anyway,
this wasn't that humourous, but graphics were solid and the colors are smooth.
Voicework was good and a highlight of this animation.
Though this isn't too much original in concept or design. For one thing, this seems to similair to tommorrow's nobodies. Both have a dave that seems to be a punk. Also the intro where they assemble themselves together is the same, but done in a different way. It's not like I'm saying that this isn't original at all, but just the similairities are uncanny between the two. Though this is only two examples and it's not like that it means you totally copied them, but it's obvious that you took a few hints from them.
This could of used a little more work because it lacks the polished quality or charm of that of tommorrow's nobodies. Sorry for constantly refering to that series, but both of you guys are basically in the same genre. Though I would easily prefer to watch that over this.
3/5
I'm kinda being generous here in my score, but this does have potential in it that needs to be discovered. Also, it wasn't that bad at all, but not the best.

AntiClockClock responds:

I just have alot of animations because I work my butt off. I don't think I am popular at all though! But yes I know 1 character seems like he should be part of the TN cast but honestly the 2 guys are based on my real personality in a way. Lots of the TN similarities are coincidences. Its weird.

[ATD's Drinking Song]

booyah!

That is so damn catchy...
"It's the drinking song, it's the drinking song and if you don't like it, you can sing along!"
Loved the main characters concept syle in visuals. Very unique and I also like his accent, thought it's hard to understand him most of the time though, but I can get what he is singing about.
4/5: did I see a teletubby?
kudos,

[Maximum Ninja - 2]

booyah!

4/5
It's one thing to copy someone's elses work, but it is a totally different thing when you exceed it.
It look so much like madness combat in visuals that the similarities are uncanny. As to how you make it look exactly like krinkels work will be mystery.
I liked how you had your main character team up with krinkels main character, but I like the whole death ninja look. You actually made a interesting plot line, characters, and backgrounds. I mean it looks the same as krinkels, but there were a few minor touches that were for the better.
Music is great as ever and pleasent to listen to.
Violence is top notch, bloody, and gory. It's what's expected from a madness clone. Though you tend to have it up a level over krinkels in share amounts of it.
Though this cartoon exceeds in all areas, it wasn't that original which hurts the style. This shouldn't come as a surprise to you since it looks exactly like krinkels work on purpose, but with a few minor touches in visuals and story, in an attempt to make it your own. What's up with the energy blast, come on!
Anyway, it was awesome still and I think krinkels would get a kick out of it by watching it.
kudos,

[Yorimasa VS Nue]

not too shabby!

OK:
The music was the highlight of the cartoon, but the story and characters seemed to lack style though. It seems I've already seen this before, but I don't know where? Meaning it felt old and nothing seemed to stand out and captivate me. I do like the fedual japan era time with samurais, shoguns, lords, and what not, but this could of been better. The main character just looked like he was just wearing a red robe? Dind't have much thought and detail put into him giving him some flavor and character. Also the main creature didn't seem to come from the japan mythology. It couldn't be a dragon or a fuu dog or even a deamon? The whole gragoyle look just seemed out of place. Also the music came from final fantasy and trigun at the end, yet the audio says kill bill? hmm
3/5

[Uncle Hopkins Episode 2]

...

(-_-) zzz
2/5

[A Simple Line 6]

booyah!

orodreth:
Love the color coice of black, red, and white. Works together. Animation was great and flows smoothly, nice use of explosions and little sparks: 8/10
Love pink pather mix. Animation was a lot better then last, better explosions. Loved the use of more then lines, ie: exploding bunnies =P
Also the spark end trail was a cool effect! 9/10
zt:
Very spastic, animation was also solid, but ending felt wierd and wasn't that humourous:
6/10
anticlockclock;
Music was pleasnet to listen to, but there wasn't really anything that caught my interest. Though animation is great as ever, but simplistic: 6/10
element:
Liked the use of color, actually had some violence. Very energetic and incoherent, but in a good way. Very remeniscent of Tim Frommeyer work:
7/10
overall:
Great presentation and professional look. Pretty neat collection you guys got there, but I kinda expected more creativity for the use of a line and some parts strayed of of what's it is suppose to be on. Great none the less.
(Also I took all of the scores individually and mashed them all together to come up with 1 average, overall score. Just to explain why there is 8 in each sub category, I usually go more into detail into scoring and don't just put the same number across like some people do.)
kudos,
