Michelangelo's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Catch that Goblin]

medicore

ok:
great character design with the
goblin. i would say that the animation
was solid and very looney tones inspired;
however, it wasnt that funny or creatively
new. it was charming and the audio or sfx
wasnt too shabby, but the whole overall
experience just felt average. so it
deserves a average score. though
my little bro got a kick out of it.
score:
nothing too new
or interesting

Get-lost responds:

Okie dokie!
Glad you liked some of it

[A Boy & His Vision Quest]

not too shabby

ok:
the story wasnt that impressive,
but for what it was, it works. though
the animation was rough and the
visuals were sketchy. music was
however fitting and appropiate.
though, with a title like this, i
kinda expected it to be more
artistic in looks.
score:
not bad, in fact i liked it.

[The New Years Party]

solid movie

good:
great, in the sense that it
was very unexpected. like
the qwerky sense of humor
and the audio wasnt too
shabby. the music really
fits with the animation and
explains why he was making
those incoherent noises. a
little corny, but made me
laugh overall, mainly
because of his dancing
moves.
score:

[O&A: Club Med]

not too shabby

ok:
visually, it was great. like
the smooth color palette
you chose for the animation.
the audio clarity was good and
fits with the q&a since im assuming
it was off the show; however, the
skit was a little on the short side
and i dont find the show that
funny or appealing. so overall
it wasnt that bad, and in a way,
kinda liked it.
score:
***

SketchMichaels responds:

Thanks. I think. Sure, why not.

[Merry Christmas Tom Fulp]

not creative humor

bad:
i guess there was some humor
to be found within the random
incoherentness of it all. though,
i think this got on front page because
anything addressed to him, or his
brother, makes it on front page
regardlessly. im not complaining
to much about this, but it was midly
entertaining; unless your into that
kind of humor.
score:
*

sjoert responds:

I think you're just just putting it down for getting on the frontpage, it's not like I put it there if Tom likes it and puts it there it's his disision

[The Little Match Girl]

decent movie

medicore:
guessing by the title it was going
to involve a heart warming tale
about a pyromaniac girl, though,
this wasnt as i thought it would be,
it still works. some scenes of the
movie felt dragged out for too long
and wasnt that neccessary. the story
was decent, visuals were decent,
audio was decent and fitting...overall
it was decent. movie wasnt that ground
breaking, but it wasnt horrible. though
i fail to see the point of the movie, was
it that some people are happier to be
dead, then alive. if so, its kinda
depressing, but at least the girl is with
her grandmother.
score:
**
nothing too new or
interesting.

RegisCartoons responds:

Ok, I respect your review, because you're also a flash animator. But I can't agree with you in some cases. Umm, Merry Christmas and good luck with Vamp series next year !

[Battle for the North Pole]

not too shabby

ok:
this offbeat humor just reminds me
of aqua teen hunger force. though
the animation wasnt the slickest
piece of work that i have seen,
due to the fact that the animating
was horrible; when they were fighting,
they stood in one stance and bumped
each other. maybe that was intentionnal
or just how you animate, it was funny
either way; however, i like to see it as
im laughing at you, rather then with you.
voicework was awesome and the biggest,
and only, highlight of this cartoon.
score:
***

Slickernaut responds:

Yes, it was intentional. I didn't accidentally animate it that way. Thanks for watching!

[Holiday Super Friends Ep0]

great job!

booyah:
its a funny take on corporations
trying to make thier products
appealing, but its true. very
clever scheme, especial moses
using the ten commandments as
a surfboard. the animation was
crisp, despite the occasional
missed lip sync, and audio was
great. though you could of
incorporated the bitey of
brakenwood characters a bit
more, it still works.
score:
****
kudos,

mj

HumbleEgo responds:

Yeah, originally I had some dialogue in the Brackenwood cameo. But, like many other elements, it had be cut for time.

[Only Superhuman]

not too shabby

okay;
i just have a few comments to
say:
i didnt realize that humans
were the exact equivalent of
instant seamonkeys...
god should of known that
nothing looks as good as it
does on the box...
its human nature to be
violent...

that was a pretty entertaining
piece of flash. the animation
was good, but might of needed
crispers and more refined
edges by optimization. other
then that, it was perfect. music
was fitting, but seemed a little
obnoxious.
score:

TmsT responds:

I'm glad you learned something today.

I wish I had my own orchestra as well as this puny synthesiser.

[The Last Unicorn]

comedy gold

classic:
it went from the last unicorn to
monkeys ruling the world...dear
god! this is by far the most bizzare,
yet oddly addicting title i have seen
ever. a true treat for newgrounds
indeed. i was sooo much in pain when
the monkey launched itself at the ufo,
just for the trying to attached a horn
to its head. also, what kind of security
system is it when it tells you where the
monkey is, when it is already to late.
you are a true comic genious. i would
love to see more odd works from you
because newgrounds is getting stale
in the humor department. who cares
about unoriginal foamy or overrated
claveman, this title kicks thier asses.
visuals were unique and surprisingly
not that bad, they werent good, but
added to its own originality and
comedy. this is sooo going in my fav
list.
score:
*****
kudos,

TypeQueen responds:
