Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[One Ring to Rule ThemAll2]

Your best work

You have showed off talent by showing that you still had all your great stuff even this early in the years of this website. The animation is just as good as it would be today. My favorite part is definitley, "Plot device, Mr. Frodo, plot device". As this was made the year the final LOTR movie was made, this movie was only fitting. Sauron, despite being an important character, never really appeared much in the series. It is great to see him have such a big role, even if it is in a parody.

[The Boogie Song]

I don't think it will be

I was hoping it would be about the "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" thing, but it actually was not. This was not among the most horrible things I have seen, but it definitley was not something I would recommend. The song just comes off as kind of dumb, as it is about boogers and stuff. The animation could really use some work, as it looks pretty primitive. With more advances in flash, you could make it better. I am sorry this did not become nearly as popular as the Peanut Butter Jelly Time song.

Don't worry ericho, it's received over 4,000 views on youtube :P.

[Madness Xmas Special 2]

Awesome stuff!

When I was looking into this series, I was hoping this would be something you would put in every year, but it wasn't. At least you managed to make a great tribute in addition to your other Madness stuff. I love how it starts off with that rock Grinch music and then goes into the normal Madness music. The animation is loyal and authentic to the Madness style and I especially like the outlines. Santa Claus and the elves make good characters to fight in these tributes.

[-Here comes the sun-]

Very emotional

As I am not that big a fan of The Beatles, this is probably my favorite song from them. It is great that you pay tribute to such a popular band even if they are not they good in your opinion. I really like just how soft and beautiful the animation is. It helps that the song itself is so flawless and it is the kind of thing that can be put to anything. There was a lot of heart put into this, I can tell. You showed nothing but simple things in everyday life that show the true beauty of the world around us.

[Preview: The Blank Screen]

Not blank

Well, I admit, I originally thought this was going to be nothing but a blank screen, but it was not. At least you were able to get it passed, which does not make it particularly good. I guess it does give inspiration for other people who want to make flash like this. The animation is okay, I suppose, but needs way more action. I guess it would make an interesting flash series as you certainly have room for improvement. Next time, add in sound and more of a story.

[XTC Xtreme]

It had good points

It is pretty interesting to see what started your longest running series. As a "Spam" flash I was not expecting much, and this was not very colorful. I did like it how the clock (whoever that was) came and contrasted with a more complex design. The song that was used was not too bad either. It must be strange to be one of the most prolific reviewers on the site and have the lowest rated flash. Of course, I would exactly how that would feel judging by the score on my only submission.

[Vete a la Versh - Xmas 09]

Your best ever!

Well, I have reviewed every single one of the cartoons you put out, except for this one. I am very proud to say that I finally found a cartoon that got a 5 from me! I loved every second of this and the animation is as great as any of the other entries. This is awesome even if it is only because that PPIIIITTOOOO joke is the funniest thing you have ever done. You have taken the short joke and turned it into something truly amazing. A pity I did not see this around Christmastime, but still great to watch!

[Tetris Attacks]

Quite creative

At first I was not expecting anything great, as the animation did not look all that great. I was very surprised to find that this cartoon had a ton of depth to it! This works because you have very simple shapes but yet you really know how to put them into complicated and creative ways. I also love how the long piece just sort of comes out at the end. At first, I thought this was going to be something from the guy who made the "Tetris'd" series. This however is very impressive is on its own right.

[Sparkles & Spyglasses]

Lots of fun

This is a great cartoon simply because you just perfectly capture the spirit of childhood innocence. You show the different kinds of innocence each of us children hold in regards to gender. The animation is nicely done and I love the omission of the black outlines. It is just funny to see the cats and cannon balls flying everywhere. There was a lot of heart put into this as it just comes off as being so pleasant. I have no clue why you would consider this horrible.

[Katan]

Fantastic!!

This has some of the most impressive animation I have ever seen! It reminded me of the "Rockoon" series, but it is even better as it uses more story and better use of color and everything! It is simply fantastic how you managed to put some interesting characters and story in such a short time. I love every animation effect used. It's strange how the title of your name seems to fit the preview image more than the title of the cartoon. I am very certain you will win a bunch of awards for this masterpiece.
