Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[4 Swords ep.1 Remake]

A great remake indeed

The original was actually pretty good in its own right, but it did need an update. When I first saw the original, I had no idea it was going to turn into something as epic as this! It is always funny to see the Links fall down using the stock bowling sound. It is great to see a living Indiana Jones even if he does not do that much. You can really appreciate all of the hard work put into the voices, as they are all nice and distinct. I notice that it seems to get more serious as it goes on, but still has a good amount of jokes.

[Doolin' Dalton]

A bit funny

The funny thing is that when I first saw the title, I thought it was something you made up. Apparently, The Eagles really did make a song that was called "Doolin' Dalton". I like the Eagles as much as the next guy, so it was nice to see a tribute to them. The animation was alright and it was mostly emphasized on the single meteor that appeared. The downside was that there was not much happening and the artwork could have been better. I would have liked to see the Earth get destroyed, as strange as that may sound.

[Super Mario bros Z ep 3 (old series)]

It's getting better

Yoshi is such an underused character in Newgrounds flashes, it is great to see him get into some actual action! While he lost, it is still one of the most unique fights I have ever seen. My only complaint about this series is that many of the STH characters were killed before it even started. This is mostly because I love those characters. Anyway, the music was as great as ever and I think this is when the plot really starts to thicken. We are getting through the dialogue better and anticipate the action.

Creative as ever

I love this video because it really works hard not to imitate anybody else. I am not just talking about people here on Newgrounds, but about all other popular series out there! I love the design of the giant gray monster and all of the other designs. It is safe to say that experimenting with one movie a scene at a time really worked out for you. This also has a brilliant use of color and works great as a music video as well. While not that comprehensible, it works because there are so many great effects.

[LoZ: We Are The Champions]

Happy birthday, Zelda!

It helps that Queen is my favorite band and you can just never go wrong with their music. I am glad you acknowledge the 20th anniverseary of this game series when few other people seemed to. There are just so many cool things going on like all the different game footage used in the beginning. All of the images shown are well done and match the music. I really like how cool it is for the other Links to provide the background singing and move with their little pixellated mouths and for Dark Link's cameo.

[Sceince With Onic 2]

Not as good

The original in this series was better, because it just looks like it took more effort to make. I guess the weird thing is that I wish this was a bit more organized. It seems like a bunch of random pictures about stabbing things. It also seems like you were trying to surpass the original by adding more crazy stuff, but in this case it did not work. However, it is a pretty unique thing as a tribute to you guys' previous work. I liked the really soft music that sounded like a stream which sets the scenes well.

[Metal Gear Awesome]

The one and only!

I seriously think that this holds the record for most views of a cartoon here that is not a music video or is not pornographic. You certainly deserve it and all of its over 6,000,000 views! I love the random jokes in this, like how Jesus randomly appears to act nice. Another cool thing is when the first girl arrives, he simply says he wants to bang her. The animation is as great as ever, as you can still see the detail put into the character's lips and everything. The different camera angles do a great job of covering all ground.

[F**k the S**t]

Lots of swearing

There is not much to say about this, because it is quite different than the normal content of this website. I think it does have some of the highest quality of a live-action video here. The only downsides are that not a lot happens, really. I guess it does not help that I am in no way familiar with the material that you are using. It is still good for a quick laugh, as a way of making fun of all the frequent swearing in songs and in general. You guys certainly know how to create the appearance of a band like this.

[4 Swords Misadventures2.2]

You lucky b*stard!

It is great to see the story progress as you are updating your movies more frequently. It is here that you start to appreciate this for having more of a story and making sense. The funniest part was probably the beginning with how he simply went away from all the Dark Links. Another memorable part was when they encountered that Terminator. It is great to see this series get more popular as it really deserves it. It is also great to see Zelda being introduced even if it was not the right version.

[EVU Part 2]

No, this is the best!

It is interesting to see the variety that you, Onic, make in all of your submissions with all your friends. I think this had the best animation and while it was intended to be cheesy obviously in a weird way it worked. I liked how the Burger King was one of the Ewoks. You can simply never go wrong with using that music from "Requiem For A Dream". Hey, if adults are all evil people you will probably become evil when you get older! I think this has a good emotional factor even if the whole thing was mostly played for laughs.
