Migel's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Emily's Trip]

OMG u ripped of Vee :D nah just joking nice flash

I can see you have some inspirement from that guy but it had its own touch into it 2 ( believe me I have seen a lot worse ), looked nice and I can you have put some time into it :) And I think the only 2 CCC links I could make were the bandagesticker and the smiley on that building.

Other than that it was a nice little story. However like u said urself the graphics were not that high because you rushed it a bit but there was also not that much animation but a lot of effort had been put into it and I enjoyed watching it :)

lukedraik responds:

Thank you very much! =] Vinnie is too inspiring, and even though it was rushed, the first thing I'd do after school was try to see how much time I could add to it before homework and dinner! XD

[Metropolis Circuit]

Nice animation and story is also decent

The animation is decent and the story shows promise.
However in future I hope to see that the animation itself also holds a story so that it can be more exiting than a race between friends if u know what I mean.

I also thought I saw small parts of influence by vinny's flash called ++race++ however I am not sure if u have seen it at all and even if u did, you defifantly have put a lot of your own stuff into it and a nice story building it up :D

[Xionic Madness - Trailer]

Well it looked really really good

Things you should trie to focus on though is showing the action better. There were giant things moving through the screen and multiple people dieing in one move.
Would have been cooler if the camera was a little bit more away so that the characters dont take up 90% of the screen and we know what is going on more.

Xionico responds:

eh I really like to play with the camera =O thats why its almost always zoomed in, thats why it is that way XD
thanks ;O

[Aladdin 3150]

Almost perfect, bit weird though.

It looked really nice and the animation and design was really fluently and worked well with the song.
( cant judge more because i think im not qualified enough compared to ur teacher :)

However my personal oponion is that there are a lot of animations like this going around. Basicly if u look at the story its really simple. A man takes a girl out of her protective enviroment and the girl gets killed. Its suposed to give a drama feeling but its really overdone and because u have to build up sentiment in mere minutes its really hard to indentify with the feeling of the characters. Even for the hero it wasnt much of a relationship. References to alladin ( at least the disney version :D ) were quite small. That it took part in the future was both graphical and in story line really obsolete. I mean if it was the future either democracy had probably won or woman are suposed to wear more cover than that :)
Also the intro looked much like the intro from assasins creed.

The thing is the animation is really candy for the eye but the story is not interesting and thats mainly the fault because u only reveal that its far in the future ( wich is obvious in the movie ) but leave out interesting information like:
did the hero have a relation with that princes before, why did he turn into a lizzard and why the hell is there a lamp in the ending .

The guy from Brackenwood ( if u dont compare animations ) puts a better use to the limited time by keeping the story simple yet interesting. As a viewer you wonder what the outcome is here it was already pretty obvious what outcome was gonna be ( or perhaps i just watched to much movies :D )

Anyway i know this looks very negative but like i said the animation and music were really good so not much to tell about that :)

[Demo Reel 2005-2007]

Nice looks, no depth.

What I liked from your seriesis the animaion but also the humor in it.
This reel shows indeed how good ur animation is but most of the scenes I had already seen so this movie didnt show me anything new. So gj putting them nicely togheter and putting some music under it.

[Super Hero Clock]

Missed Chance

The animation was nice and graphics were nice however the style was not cool enough. However there was no ballance between the good guys and bad guys in this movie:

This guy seems to be able to teleport himself and his enemies whetever he wants ( so why not into prison or let em drop from a couple of feet ) and is a master of close quarter combat and can freeze time. And how the hell can a ninja be fat if you are fat ur speed and endurance drop real bad its impossible to keep a style like that. And why wasnt such a store locked down if there is such precious stuff in em. And why didnt the allarm go off. Man if this was a normal story those guys wouldnt been able to run from the police but you let em take on this super super hero with no weaknesses...so yeh it could have been a lot cooler.

So basicly if a series was made it wouldnt be interesting.

[The PS3 Song!]

A lot of reviews but not enough about ur skill.

First of this movie was not really inventive. The music and better videos were already on similar websites etc a half year ago. And back then it was up to date. The animation and some of the drawnings were not that good. And things were kind of repetitive.

Point is half a year ago this music has already been put to use in a better movie than this flash movie you made. The timing was better then and using real movie parts and comments of important people in video game bussness gave it a better feel. Sorry but compared to that movie this is just a feeble atempt with average graphics and repetetive animation and scenes.

[Monkey Island Flash Movie]

Good movie I enjoyed it :)

Played this game a long time ago :)
The graphics were ok the animation was better.
The pace was quite high. As for the german/english I ensure its not as bad as russian/english. But if you do get complaints i suggest for future work u add subtitles :)

[Harry doesn't die]

Artistic or not this was funny :)

The graphics werent that bad. And the joke was actually quite funny.
I do hope Harry Potter doesnt die in the book though......nah im lieing :/

PinkSkull responds:

I dont want harry to die either.. but it'd be frustratingly fun this way..since noone expected it, then we would all throw tomatoes at jk rowling and get ran by the bus to, before we read the neville longbottom series.
