Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dragon Ball Z Parody Ep.2]

Getting better

This one was funnier because you really learned to make fun of yourself on this. While the animation was still not that great, this series is starting to make fun of DBZ and itself. The onlly really annoying thing was how the credits music just kept going on. I was wondering as to what happened to Black Trunks. The funniest part was probably when the narrator just heaved over from the heavy voice as that was actually something that annoyed me. It seems to be getting more into the traditional DBZ feel, even if it is still disorganized.

[Spares]

Holy reused joke on a web toon!

It was amazing how you were able to keep up with so many jokes in such a lengthy cartoon. The animation was as good as ever, and I really like how the characters just move and everything. Everything is just a joke in itself like all the hands that reach over into the refridgerator. There are just so many random things going on, like the machine being powered by monkeys. I also like how dumb everyone is, even the director. The action scenes were good as there are no more worthy opponents for the characters to slay than themselves.

[Chuck's New Tux!]

It all works

I am perplexed at how this did not get a spot in the Weekly Top 5 or a Review Crew Pick. It is one of the most popular submissions to be released this year! Anyway, this was really great first of all because the animation is so good. The main strong point is that there is simply no way to expect that punchline. You see ironic thing after ironic thing going on and you just wonder when it will all end. In the end of course, it does not matter as he managed to get that tux dirty after all and then some.

[4 Swords Misadventures 5]

Great stuff

I love how you give recaps for the previous episodes. So much happens in one and they are often as long as a regular TV episode, they deserve it. It is great to hear Rina-chan as Princess Zelda. I love all this, if only because drunk Red Link is the funniest thing to ever appear in this series and how ridiculous he acts. It is just so fun to see him just squirm everywhere and talk in that silly drunken voice. I knew you were going to mention emos when you brought that song up and then another song!

Fairly bad

I like "Dragonball Z" as much as the next guy and this was not a good tribute. The most important factor was that the animation was pretty bad. I guess I have seen worse, but you really need to work with drawing tools to make more clear lines. I had no clue why Piccolo was there or why there was the Super Saiyan 5 Goku (I think). It is too bad you spent such a long time on this and got the turd of the week reward. I think next time you should work more on action scenes and a plot for that matter.

[A Spot Of Paint]

Fairly weird

I think the worst part about this is that there is little sound. It would have been nice to keep some constant sound effects or maybe even a little song. Another weak point was that the animation was not that good. The strongest point, however, is the fact that it is in fact an original punchline and that is hard to hate. I do find it unlikely that puss that comes out of your acne would be orange, as I would know, uh, yeah. It could have also worked better if it was just a little bit longer.

[Ancient ChineseStorytime5]

What?

I wished there could have been more than a single picture. As smart as I am, I actually know little about Chinese military history. If the stuff you talked about was true, then I have to thank you for giving us all a history lesson. I could of course tell that some of it was made up the funnier the story got. I think that next time you should not use one of those clock voices as using nothing but that voice is not a good idea. It is interesting that you want to educate us, or at least entertain us in something not that known to most people.

[Tom Selleck's Sea Quest 4]

Those comments again?

It was interesting to now notice that none of the entries in this series have much of a plot anyway. This seems to have more as you end on a cliffhanger. It does kind of make me wonder why you guys did not just submit everything altogether. How where you ever able to get more than 2 submissions the same day? I guess you were able to get past this because there were just so many people working on the same submissions. There could have been more backgrounds during the chase.

[Test Movie]

Yep, quite bad

I hate to break this to you, but we do not generally want test movies to be put on Newgrounds. I guess this does work just fine as a test, but it is hard to give those things a good review. I never watched "MacGyver" although I did watch the parody "MacGruber" sketches on SNL as well as the movie. It helps that this is such a good theme song. What does not work is how most of the images appeared to be just Photoshopped images with regular effects. I do hope you get to making better stuff.
