Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Helll]

Quite average

This was not that great, but it did not have that many parts that made me mad or anything. The weakest part was that the animation looked quite dated for 2005. It was pretty cool to see that nice graphic at the beginning with the fire all running around. There were just not much room for any good jokes as it was mostly just the Devil doing the same thing. It made sense, I suppose, but there just needed to be more punchlines. The best part about this was probably how the voices were nice.

[Kilt Envy]

Has its moments

I thought that this was alright, due to the fact that the song was actually pretty funny and there were some things going on. It reminds me of animation made by people in animutations. The only problem is that it does not really work in something like this where the effects are so cheesy. I liked the "NG Drunks" logo you put on the beginning. It would have also been nice if there was a background instead of just blank space. The animation where he did move in that kilt was actually kind of nice.

[4 Swords Misadventures2.1]

Oh my god, they killed Indy!

It is awesome to see how much the artwork of this series has changed over the years. While it looks primitive by modern standards, it manages to be really cool. I think this had the most jokes in it of any of them as there were a lot of funny ones. I especially liked the "South Park" tribute (especially since they do not say that anymore). It was really cool how you did that work in the promotional part with jsut Photoshop. While I may not have gotten interested in you because of this, it is still great to see something of yours become popular.

[Red Diamond Dragon Club]

That's disgusting

You are certainly the king of sick animation, as this simply has no point or reason in it at all. I think "the" probably is the most commonly used word in the English language. It is also funny how I finally get to see the green blob in a cartoon. I mean, he appears on the portal as one of the main characters of this website, but I think this may in fact be his only appearance. Another good point was how good the animation was, especially with the character designs. Why were they holding Abraham Lincoln captive?

[Flimbo's Cake]

Is a lie!

It is nice how you admit that this was not intended to be anything special. I can certainly tell that this was only made in a day as the animation really needs work. The main problem with this is that there is just no final joke or ironic punchline. I do not know about this "Flimbo" if he is supposed to be a recurring character. Cakes are always delicious, but the main problem is that there is nothing out of the ordinary here. I did like the color effects so next time work on having more of a story or at least a joke.

This was primarily a college project, introducing us to flash. This explains why it's not story heavy, but there's enough here to be something watchable. Thanks for the review.

[Magic Hamster Ball ad]

Best part is the animation

As this is the Internet, I was expecting something more dirty like the hamster getting its bones broken or everything. I think the best part is how this really looks like something a professional would do. It reminds me of the animation made by people like OTWIC. My main problem is that I do not understand the overall appeal. Why is a hamster in a ball supposed to be that funny? It seems like you would work on the irony of something being in an 8 ball, but having it be a hamster just seemed kind of random.

[Press Start: Chores 2]

God looks like an egg

I review your stuff here so often, it is nice to know that you guys make one of these things a month. Anyway, I thought this was pretty good but not one of the funniest. I think what sells me is the character Johnson. He is just so pathethic in his demeanor and his attempts at being dark always fail. It was really cool to see the gallery of people in Hell, as I could recognize a gingerbread man, King Dedede, the evil clone, M. Bison, the PacMan ghosts, Dick Cheney, etc. There was certainly a lot going on in this epsiode

[what is this i dont even]

I don't know either!

I thought this was a game at first because there just seemed to be so little that was happening at all. What can I say? It was in fact a really creative cartoon and I can understand why it being front paged surprised even you. I mean, it definitley has a lot of surrealism for something with really no point at all. There is not much else to say as really nothing happened except the things that I told you. Oh wait, it was very unexpected and very weird to have David Spade being credited with everything at the end.

[Scizor v.s Tyranitar]

Great pixellation

Despite being from a video game, I seldom see pokemon being used so well in sprites. The coolest thing is probably at the end with the funny sound clip and of course the trainer getting blasted. Scizor and Tyranitar are really good fighters, but I know little about their powers, so it was great to see a demonstration. Some of the best animated parts were how the ground split up when Tyranitar used Roar. While it was short, it has a good amount of fighting. I also like the camera angles like the one on the smaller scale at the beginning.

[Mario Bros X-Mas]

Just like that!

I loved the animation in this, especially since it was a departaure from the normal sprite flashes used. You get extra points for having the awesome song in its entirety at the end. I thought the voices were really good. Luigi and Mario sort of looked like Waluigi and Wario with those giant red noses. There were lots of funny jokes, especially the one about Bowser being a Jew. I was not expecting good action scenes like that or whatever action there was, with the three Bullet Bills being fired.
