Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Master_Light [Box-Killa]]

The depth is nice

I know that this was not intended to be anything that artsy, so I will not try to analyze that much. The ending music (how it loops) is kind of annoying, though. It is always interesting to experiment with shading and light effects. It could have used better effects in itself of course. It is fine for a quick watch as the music is nice and the little strings (or lines) do sync up well. I like how they changed colors and showed you were not just doing the same thing over and over. Working with simple patterns is always nice.

[Vice Faction: Episode 14]

Not too bad

The weakest point of this is probably the animation and how it does look kind of cheesy. However, it was great of you to include all of those voices. The best part might be the overview of the school at first, especially how it has the best animation. It does not need to have a lot of action, just a pretty interesting real life story. I can tell that it is an early production of yours (first with lip sync) so it must be great to have so many people willing to help. The characters do not seem particularly bad or poorly developed.

[Special Episode for Fans]

Great tribute!

I think it is rather funny how you are not a big Star Wars fan, but this is just really good! I think the best points are how good the animation is, especially with how much depth the stick figures have. The intro is great as a tribute to the series in itself. I love how the lightsabers move and everything not to mention there is some seriously well done voice work! You can never go wrong with using the original music. The description at the beginning was pretty slow, but you can at least skip it.

[4 Odd Planets]

Nice music

I think the weakest point in this what that there should have been some more action. Now, I do know that there are many great works of art that do not need action at all. I guess I just thought it was strange because it involved entire planets moving. The best part was probably how good the animation was, with how little was there. Some of the humor was pretty good, especially with the burning of the cross. It did have its unique points such as the celestial bodies talking and always saying "f*ck" in that exact spelling.

[Deathsponge Notepants]

Not suitable here

The idea itself is great, but the main problem with this is that it needs to be done in a better format on this website. It is sad how this was removed from some other places. I still have to give you credit for creativity because in its best form, it is downright hilarious. "Spongebob Squarepants" and "Death Note" are obviously two entirely different things, so it is fun to focus on the two being alike. I enjoyed just seeing the characters die and stuff. It could have been a bit of a smaller image for higher resolution.

[ccaboong-Graffiti]

Very cute overall

I was not expecting much from this, but it was a lot better than I thought it would be! The animation is just so gorgeous as it looks like something made by a professional animator. The weakest point was probably how it had little story, but still fantastic. I love how you do not know who is going to show up next, as this is the only entry in this series that I have seen. There is just so much cuteness going on, especially with the little bubbly sounds. It is interesting to find out what will happen next on the wall.

[DC cells]

Quite useful

I hope you got a good grade on your biology project, even if this came off as okay to me. I think pretty much everyone of this age can know that they went through a time where they studied this material. Batman's voice is something I did not like, meaning I did not like the original voice he had. It is still great that you use this website to help you with your schoolwork. The live-action scene at the end was also an interesting bonus. I think it would have worked better if you had more animation as Batman was explaining the cell parts.

[Super Mario bros Z ep.8 (old series)]

A great battle scene

The strongest point of this entire thing is definitley the final climatic scene which just tops everything off so darn well. It is great to reach new grounds (woah!) in animation by making a plane fly. It was also nice to see reason for why Shadow is such a jerk. While not one of the best in the series, it can certainly tie me over until the next entry. The way the characters move, especially the moments of impact is as great as ever. We are really reaching the entire thing into a giant battle in this series!

[some stick try (shtinks)]

Where is the sound?

It was nice that you used something as generic as stick figures, something that never gets old. The weakest part was the animation. The guy on the left kept losing and growing girl's hair for some weird reason. Some of the animation was not bad, especially the closeup of the fist. I think this would have been a lot better if you had gone further with the tank coming and everything. It is too bad you did not finish it, but at least you get an oppurtunity to really improve yourself on the next one.

[Meatman to Stickman :D]

It reminds me of myself

This was not great, but it did have a certain appeal to me because it reminded me of back when I made sketches. A lot of us had those flipbooks that we used to make animations. The weakest point of this is probably that it is pretty short and not much happens. It is still cool because this style is in fact a model for us all to go by. The drawings were decent enough and the action was not half bad. I would suggest that next time you do something like that, you add in more action and explosions.
