Michelangelo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Calderbank]

hmm?

the animation was very
unique and had its own
artistic flare, original
graphics and design.
the humor was qwerky
and bizzare, and the
voicework was really
good, in the sense of
clarity and british accent.
also, with the touch of violence,
this adds up to a well rounded
and decent flash animation. im
just still a little confused to
exactly know what to think
of it.

no worries, thx for the review, sorry the cartoon confused you.

[Element trailer]

visual eye candy

nice original design
wih fluid, life like
animation and gorgeous
visual effects. the art
design was original and
the vast cast of characters
make this possible series
sound promising. the choice
of music was awesome and
fitting with the trailer. the
violence was surprisingly
gory then what expected,
especially during the scene
with the creature having his
wings chopped off...regardlessly,
it was bloody satistifing. all i can
say is your animating skills already
kick ass with your first entry and i
can already tell your going to be
one of the big league animators
on this site. hope to see some
more :)
score: *****
kudos,

woah at first glance i thought your comment might be a poem, haha! thanks man

[American Idle]

solid spoof

nicely done. the whole
presentation of the film
was very proffesional and
captured the look and feel
of american idol. though what
is more impressive then that
is the caricature of gary. it
looked so0o suprisingly like
him and the mouth movements
were perfect. despite the crisp
and sharp visuals with good
appeal, the flash seemed a
little dragged out and the
humor wasnt that amazing.
though the interactivity at
bottom of the screen was
very nifty...never seen that
kind of option before in flash
...and this was a great spoof
on the phenomenon.

Aww, I thought that was going to be a poem. But thanks!

[Diary of William Ostler]

its so creatively twisted

oh, nicely done indeed.
the voicework was brilliant
and i enjoyed its dark sense
of humor, which was enhanced
by the drawings on paper with
the very interesting and unique
visuals. i have to say that the
style of the flash was slick
and devious and i can only
hope to see, and desire more
from it. i cant stand any other
"funny" cartoons on this site.
score: ****

Whoa, four asterisks? Thank you thank you THANK you.

[Roadside Philosophy]

not too shabby

the philisophical converstation
was entertaining and i liked the
many conundrums one can ponder
about. the flash had a very qwerky
sense of humor and a very bizzare
happenings. though the visuals
were only mediocre and the
voicework...which does get
the job done...however, is
lacking the detail and quality
that is seen in most quality
flash.

[Tinman]

solid movie

i like the thought process
that was being put into it;
however, there wasnt that
much of a connection between
the animation and the comments
you made in the authors notes.
despite the incoherent pacing
of things, the animation was
nice and i really like the smooth
color palette; though the animation
was simplistic and bland. the visual
style was unique and had its own
artistic flare. the music was fitting
and really enhances the mood of
the setting. just conisder next time
to actually have an actual and
consistent theme or idea.

You have a very
interesting way
of spacing out
your review. I
don't really
like to make
authors comments,
I am not very good
at explaining things
without direct enquiry.
Thanks for reviewing.

[Super Mario Toads Rage 8]

booyah!

a lot better then the last
itteration of the series,
glad that it has finnaly
gone back to its roots.
the violence was very
gory and gives bloody
statistifaction. whats
even more noticable in
this itteration is the improved
fighting animations which seem
to be more fluid in movement
and graphically better; ie, the
after image effects when in
fighting was impressive. the
music was fitting for the hardcore
fighting..with rock music rammstein
and the voicework gets the job done,
but not that impressive as in other
cartoons. regardlessly this is an
improvement off the weak sense
of humor and lack of violence of
the previous royal battle and look
forward to the next; especially with
the last scene were the highly detailed
nemetoad drenched in blood...ooh and
awe.
score: ****

thanks for your review!

[Tin:The Incompetent Ninja]

solid movie

nicely done. the animation
was good, despite the character
designs lacking creativity or
origninality. the visuals did
have its own artistic flare
and the choice of music
was fitting and enlightend
the experience overall.
the violence and carnage
with the blood spraying
and spooing does the ninja
justice; however, despite the
entertaining experience one
can get from a litte of the
ultra-violence, it did seem
to lack any real appeal. of
course the visuals were great,
neat style of art, and very gory...
but its nothing too new in terms
of content or in material. this is
an old one by my terms and did
nothing to become ground
breaking, which does hold
this back from being subperb.
.:also, while visting your site, i
would be more interested in
seeing you do animations on
such comics as "grim tales from
down below", that would be
interesting and unique series:.

Thanks.

[Agent Ivory]

mediocre

the cartoon was very
long, montonous, tedious,
boring, bland, lacking, and
devoid of real humor. which
the dialogue wasnt that creative
and the scenes felt dragged out
way too long then necessary.
despite the complaints, the
voicework was decent and
visuals werent too shabby.
plus the character designs
and art style was appealing,
but the overall package was
midly entertaining.
score: **
nothing too new
or interesting.

InterruptedVision responds:

Not many positive words there, but that's the kind of review that actually gives something. We'll definately fix almost all of your complaints upon releasing the second episode, but the very style of the humor that exists within the film will not be changed much. You know, it's supposed to be strange, not just endless hysterical laughter. Anyway, we hope you'll like the second one, significant improvements will be done indeed.

[Stick Slayer Episode VIII]

solid movie

yes, finnaly i have found a
cartoon series that shares
my same passion and hatred
towards stick figure animations.
they are just so replusive, bland,
uncreative, unoriginal, poor excuse
of an art form. its pathetic to see
animators still making them when
they are above the ages of five and
six. despite the cool aspect of this
series, the visuals were rough and
sloppy around the edges. at times
i am impress with the graphics and
niffty special effects, like fire; however,
it might of been your intentions to make
the stick figures ridiculously atrocious.
the guest star cameos of other flash
major hit characters added a nice feeling
to the movie, but would of been great to
see them more involved in the action, rather
then the pointlessly slaughtering within a minute
of appearence. i could be wrong, but i think bitey
of brackenwood could of put up more of a fight
against the horde of sticks. the voicework was
decent, but most of the time i could bearly make
out the probably corny one liners the main
protaginist was making throught the clamourous
sound effects that were ensuing. overall it was
a rounded movie with spiffy visuals, glad at
least i made it in time for the conclusion...if
it is?
