Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Decline of Video Gaming]

Always classic

I remember that this was one of the first submissions I ever saw on Newgrounds! I find it ironic you made something about Snake being old in a video game, when he really did get old in one of his video games! You really put into perspective how much the gaming industry has evolved. I think the funniest part was finding out the Mario games like how Mario mows the lawn. The joke about Lara Croft's boobs was also funny. There are just so many little things going on they all work well to make a great flash.

[BEEBO Part 6]

Best episode

I love this episode and think it is my favorite in the series simply because it has so much action. Beebo just looks so goofy when he goes around killing everybody. You would be surprised at how well the action fits with the animation. I can easily see why this became your new favorite episode. I just think that it is funny that Beebo has a beard (generally facial hair) when it seems like all cats have facial hair. I also love how the guy reacts to everything Beebo says yet Beebo still seems like the real star.

[WGJ4K: Mario Vs Sonic]

Okay, now I'm finished

I love this episode simply because of how stupid and pointless it is. I love the idea of this fat dork dressed like Sonic getting beat up for no reason other than that he's obnoxious. I could tell it was a parody of "There Will Be Blood" at the end, a good movie scene. This one is not so much about jokes as it is about action. The moments of action are actually kind of rare, but the emotion that these characters emit is so good. It is also the only episode where nobody appears out of costume and the intro is different.

[DailyToon12082004]

Not good

I think this is one of the lesser Daily Toon submissions that I have ever seen. This is mostly because the animations in the collab are simply so long. It would have been nicer if you guys had simply put the "Menu" button on the whole time. I at least liked hearing the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" theme song and Grinch song. I know that j00bie is one of the most prolific reviewers out there. I would know from experience that you can not always make good flash even if you have that many reviews.

Needs to be longer

I have seen several things where people are simply trying to open up a box or something and I think this was one of the lesser examples. I did like the animation in this one. I think that is best demonstrated when the figure is walking away from the explosion. Thing to improve on would be to make it shown how the explosion happens. It could have used a lot more things going on, like more attempts that escalated in absurdity. I guess it was fine for a really quick thing but needs more variety.

i agree. lack of motivation, i guess xD

[Happy Birthday Paperbat!]

Happy birthday to you too

I loved this collab simply because it was just so ridiculous in its own right. It seems like something that ZekeySpaceyLizard would put together, and it is too bad he is not submitting flash here anymore. All of you guys managed to put your own unique styles into this. I take it from this that Paperbat is black. It is always interesting to find out about somebody on Newgrounds who is black, as there seem to be few of them. The "Happy Birthday" song and remix was cool with all those sprites.

[Goku ownage]

Needs some work

This was in no way a terrible submission, but did not have that much originality to it. Everyone has done a sprite flash of these characters. I think the weakest point was that it was just too short and needed to have more of a story. I mean, I can not find much that is wrong with the actual action in this, due to the fact that it is very well done. You seem to be talented enough at sprite work, but not at story telling. With some more ideas and concepts, this could be made into a better series, or simply cartoon.

[It's all about chocolate.]

Very cute

I enjoyed watching this because it was just so darn cute. I mean, yesh, it would have been nicer if there had been some color (apart from the chocolate) but still good. I was thinking of how this was going to be about that Spongebob chocolate meme at first. It was interesting how you came up with something original. I really liked the facial expressions in this one, particularly with how they changed. I was sort of expecting that ending, but it still manages to be pretty funny and overall satisfying.
