Michelangelo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[That Halo Parody 5 (SE)]

4/10: bad

Liked the animation style and use of the one sprite of chief that I have never seen before, that was cool!
Despite it looked nice for visuals, there wasn't realy anything here to be amazing. Just random shorts about incoherent happenings. It would of been nice if it was based on halo moore then the use of master chief, ie: a series maybe?
Sound was accurately done and off south park, kudos for that, music was sparse.
Violence was sparse also and dissapointing because I excpected master chief to blow up some alien goobers.
For humor it was bland and uncreative. Which would suck for this cartoon because it's a parody.
2/5
(This comment is based off looking at authors profile.)
A series based on Invader sounds alot more promising! Loved that show, but nickelodean wanted it to be more little kid friendly, but that would of invovled the creators to change the series. So they did what was best and left nick, but since nick still holds rights on the series, it still looks like we won't be seeing it again. At least there are 2 dvd volume sets out now!!!

This is probably the most constructive review I've had in a few months!
The point of the that halo parody series is to put the game in a nutshell :P
I take voiceover outtakes and humorous audio often and think of om way to put the cast of halo into it.

As for the Invader Zim Series, it's coming alot slowly but surely. I have Dib completely drawn and am currently drawing Zim. Screw rights and "kiddiness", I'm going to make it how it was meant to be. A little violent, disturbing a bit, same style as the original :)

[Dragonball SJ - Episode 4]

3/10: ugly

I'm starting to get tired of reviewing the same thing over again. Obviously you did nothing to change from the last entry and this series still looks stupid. Despite how you were going to change the look of the next ep, it still doesn't look promising. Try to actually make a series of your own because it looks like you have potential.
Poorly drawn graphics, but nicely done animation.
Despite how you tried to make your series unique by adding a few alterations to characters names and faces, it's still unoriginal and uncreative. The look and feel of it is right, but why don't you actually copy the real series instead of making worst then it already is.
Sound and music were sparse and there was no voicework whatsoever.
There was practially no violence again and constantly all they do is talk. This might not be a bad thing at 1st becuase having some dialoge is good, but when all they say is lame and pathetic lines.
1/5

[Lost in Canada]

5/10: meh

Meh...
this was interesting, but loses interest and drags out into boredom.
The graphics were surprisingly good during the tv channel part and seemed to be the highlight of this cartoon.
Nothing really seemed to be unique about this title except for the fact that there is penguins in it, which is pretty rare because I don't see a lot of newground cartoons based on penguins, but it doesn't quite make up for it in the style department.
Sound was exceptionally good and added some flavor to the characters, but at time I could hear the mic patter and put.
For a cartoon that is meant to be humourous, this failed incredibly, but I'm a little hard to impress in humor though.
2/5: nothing too new or interesting best describes this flick.

[I'm the Monster]

9/10: subperb

Loved it!!!
The style was really slick and impressive. It was remeniscent of Area 51, though it didn't have any aliens.
The graphics were awesome and the second you start watching it, you'll never want to stop. I've never found any rough spots what so ever.
Violence was top notch and bloody.
Sound whoever seemed to consists of the music and the whole rock n'roll track seemed out of placed.
5/5
Very profeesional in presentation in quality.
kudos,

[Unreal teaser]

8/10: booyah!

Wow!
Finally something looks original and unique in concept and it's coming to newgrounds!
The graphics were suberp and animation was smooth. This was visual eye candy with smooth, rich color palette that rivals bitey of brackenwood. Yeah, it's that good. This was vert stylish in the looks, but as for the story, I'm not shure. Though this is just a trailer, it does look promising.
Also sound was fitting and was a nice pic (trigun).
4/5

[Dragonball SJ - Episode 3]

4/10: bad

Poorly drawn graphics, but nicely done animation.
Despite how you tried to make your series unique by adding a few alterations to characters names and faces, it's still unoriginal and uncreative. The look and feel of it is right, but why don't you actually copy the real series instead of making worst then it already is.
Sound and music were sparse and there was no voicework whatsoever.
The most violent thing that was in here was the clone of krillen getting punched, excepted more because it's based off dbz, but wait...your's is crappier.
2/5: nothing too new or original
Your attempt to make the series better failed. I reccomend people just go out and watch the uncut series, unless you're not an anime fan.

[DSNTT Part 2]

6/10: not too shabby!

I kind of expected more to tell the truth. In the last ep. you did a great job of introducing each of the characters, but in this one, all they did was exchange comebacks. It seemed there was going to be a fight since it took this long for this to come out.
The style is still unique as ever and you're very creative of coming up with the idea of kitten faces on out of porpotionate, animated bodies.
Graphics were good, but animation was sparse since all they did was dis on each other.
Voicework is hilarious, but not becuase of what they say, but how they sound. Whoever does the voicework, you or someone else, sounds similiar to that of the creators of south park. Which in my opinion is a really good compliment.
No violence what so ever, which is dissapointing.
overall:
3/5
it won't be as high next time if you don't do any thing to change it.

[Unleash the beast]

3/10: ugly

Consists of text words and motion 5 clips. I usually like to get in depth into my reviews, but there wasn't really anything here. The cartoon made littles since and the music was about harcore rock, but sounded like techno?
oookkaaayy then?

[Shadeborn's CastleVania]

9/10: subperb

Very dark.
Very cool.
Original in concept and design.
The animation was great, but at times the graphics had thier rough spots, mainly in the servents face.
Loved the noir look and feel to it, very stylish and slick indeed.
Violence was sparse, but didn't seem to be an issue since it wasn't suppose to be really integrated with the cartoon.
No humor, but that's becuase it is suppose to be serious.
Music was very moody and pleasent to listen to, very instrutmental that capture the essence of what was going on excellently.
4/5
It was short, but with visual eye cany it makes up for it in sweetness.
kudos,
mj

[Super Mario: Toads Rage 5]

7/10: good

That was nicely done.
1st Toad Rage for me, but doesn't really give an incentive to watch previous ep. though.
The animation was exceptionally great, but probably needed to increase fps for smoother combat.
Loved it's style of drawing. Though at times it wasn't that great, I did however liked the character's look and feel. Pefectly mixed of original (chubby) and street fighter (clothes).
Music was fitting and added to it's style.
Violence is pretty much what you excpect it to be in terms of fighting fist to fist. Did like the occasional blood splatter, but seemed like it should used a bit more, especaill since it's fight between toad and mario.
3/5
Thank god you didn't use sprites, I despise those!!!
