Michelangelo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[-WestLife(Remake)-]

3/10: rip

good: animation (lip sync, twitchy fingers)
bad: poorly drawn, horrible graphics
ugly: overly used matrix slow mo, humor

I can tell this is your 1st flash and belive me, it needs some work. 1st thing, don't try to use slow mo. I know matrix wasn't the 1st to come up with that technique, but the way you shot (camera), it was obviously off the matrix. 2nd thing, improve your visuals by alot! 3rd thing, try to make it original. I've already seen the overly done, typical, and generic shoot out between 2 cowboys. The only thing that was different about this was it's querky, off beat humor. Though, not nessecarilly a good one. the appearance of arnold as the terminator was just awfull and the wacky end of it seemed out of placed.
1/5 rating: don't know what to say much about it.

[_FLU!(chapter05)]

9/10: subperb

Best one yet, why? Because it has a guy that kicks ass with a kitana! I really didn't see that one coming, but I'm still surprised to still not see a single one of your submission on the hompage. At least you have won 4 awards for flu series. Keep them coming and I'll keep raving about them as long as you don't screw up, but I'm pretty shure that won't happen.
4/5 rating: wasn't that tubal's twin?

[I Love Egg ep.6]

6/10: not too shabby

For some reason this is the only iloveegg ep I have overlooked, but know I know why. It was a little too cutsy for me, but it makes up in graphics and in sound with all the chirps, beeps, and boops. All the anime references in there were nice too!

3/5 rating: I can't the baby not like gundam!

[XIN Session 01]

8/10: great!

It was a nicely done way of starting off the series, but fails to fully explain it. Though, I guess that is what the authors comments are for. The voice work was phenomenal and sounded really realistic. It also gives and adds personallity to the characters that really could'nt establish on it's own. I just hope you continue on adding voicework to the next episodes and don't stop. Also I feel stupid for not noticing it because it seems you have submitted it after the 1st couple of ep and I have totally overlooked it by mistake.
4/5 rating: if I forgot my homework I would be screwed either way.

[XIN Session 11]

9.25/10: subperb

You gotta be kidding me! That was just awesome, you shure are an epert in knowing how to make blood look cool. Just the way they hit each and having blood particles and chunks fly every where is spectacular! They're like blood pinatas just waiting to be hit! The ability to change quality at beginning is a nice touch for those you probably can't run it at high and intensive imagery. Though I already have a good of a computer, so it wasn't a problem and you could change it by right clickin and selecting quality though. The story is gettin interesting and for once I'm starting to like ghai. Every since chap 2 started the characters seem to have some more personallity in themsleves rather then and in stlye. It wouldn't hurt to have more scenes like in the beginning then having them relentlessly beat the shit out of each other, but that is always fun to watch. In otherwords, more character developemnet would be awesome. So far the series is only 2 ep in a new chap, but alread it's recieving 2 perfect scores already. I hope it continues the tradition of supremecy.
5/5 rating: that goth creeped me out!

[XIN Session 10]

9/10: subperb

Bravo, bravo indeed! It seems you've taken you're animation to the next step. I've always liked the series, but the last chapter seemed to excel in style by one step ahead, but the visual department was always a step behind. It's so slick and stylish, I could only hope for more of it. Yeah, it doesn't have voices, but so what? The music captures the mood perfectly and it is hard to get some perfessional or at least decent voice talent for your own animated series. Also the little anime humor with zin was a nice touch if anyone, but me saw it (when characters are chubby and small when embarressed). It truely was an overall, excellent experience and a good way to start off the series. Hope that the carnage will ensue soon!
5/5 rating: couldn't have been any better.

[The Dork Ages]

5/10: medicore

It was pleasing to the eye, but nothing was too impressive though. There wasn't really anything making this animation unique or special in any way. Also the fact that it was done on a boring time and era further adds to it.
2/5 rating: decent

[Un Short Short]

7/10: good

I was actually surprised after viewing this title. I'm not that much of a fan of stick violence because their so unoriginal and unpleasing to the eye (how do you capture the viewers interest, if all you have are balls with sticks coming out of them). This is an exception to it however. Though, it is a stick figure cartoon, the way you animate them is very cool. The best way to describe it is oriental grafitti. If you ever see meryls on brick walls that are very getho and hip hopish, the way it has all these slick curves and edges. That is exactly what you have in your animation. Also, when the characters die, they actually respond correctively as if they got hit in that exact spot. I've seen my share of crapittude of stick cartoons were the animation is all blocky and sluggish. This is very fast paced with corresponding physics. Also the occasional burst, hand, and muffin seemed out of place, but in a good way. The music wasn't too bad, but seemed to fit with this short and my only complaint was the backgrounds. Though they are blanned and not too inspiring, they do serve a purpose in the caranage.
3/5 rating: this was good, but you have talent for better.

[F.N.F. #6 - Wing Parcel]

8/10: great!

The fact that you are doing a friday thing each week is amazing. I 've always enjoyed fnf, despite I never knew what it met, and always found it's bizarre sense of humor and style enjoyable. Though I find that the last ep is still the best in my opinion, but this was still great none the less. Also, when is claveman 2/5 coming out?!
4/5 rating: very charming and appealing

[XIN Session 09]

9/10: subperb

It was a nice way of wraping up the chapter. I hope that the carnage will still insue in the next ep. Also, I'm sorry for not realizing that you were adding voices to the beginning episodes because I saw them after you put them in. I've been trying to catch up on the series that I have overlooked and saw how the 1st few ep had voices then it stopped in the latter ones, which effected your score on those particular ep. Also I've been keeping my reviews in the past tenths for fairness in score because these ep aren't new.

Going to start 2nd chap, hopefully better then 1st!
