Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pico Fucks With Machines]

Don't do it!

I really have to praise you for managing to combine two holidays at the same time! I can not decide if this would have worked better as a Robot Day or Pico Day flash. What is awesome is that the animation is as surreal and insane as anything else. I loved how the robot just ran around and shot Pico simply because it was annoyed. It is the same surrealistic humor and style that makes you one of my favorite authors here. While it was short, it caught its clear message (simply don't f*ck with machines) quite clearly.

[Vinnie The Chik Costello]

Recommendable

It has been the longest time since I watched something submitted by flashcartoons.org. Anyway, I thought the best point of this was the voice work. I sincerely thought that you were just using stock sounds from some old cartoon in the beginning! It reminded me a lot of "Looney Tunes" and classic stuff like that. I was kind of disappointed that there was not a lot of real slapstick involved. I still enjoyed this because Vinnie is such a great character as he sets his personality so clearly.

I was hesitant to upload this to NG, most of the users here like perverted stuff which I stopped making. I try to animate for family audiences with clean humor. A good example is the past few winners, cock jokes, boobs, overall rude humor which is made for preteens who laugh at it. I wont go back to that, I've grown up. My overall goal is to animate like they did in the past, all traditional, that is my dream. Thanks for the comment.

['Rageous 7]

Happy belated Robot Day!

I knew it was only a matter of time before great Newgrounds artists like Luis would work on this. It is a collab unlike any that I have ever seen. I believe that this is in fact the first ever Robot Day we have had, so that suits it quite well. I love this because it just does not seem to know what its emotional theme is. It is not really action driven but I guess more animation driven with all the things just moving around everywhere. It was especially weird to see some human women dancing around.

[Whats ure heaven like????]

It was kind of cute

I have to excuse the cheesy animation because this submission is almost a decade old. I almost thought that you were trying to ask the audience what they thought of Heaven. It is good that there have been so many innovations in flash since then, as this could use a lot of work. The final punchline was a bit predictable and not that creative. I think this one's heart is in the right place, but it needed to have more effort put into it. For being something that had such low quality though, I did like the voices.

[Rise of the brotherhood 2]

That was great

While not as good as the third part, this was still a true work of art. I think that this may in fact be the best Tails that I have ever seen in a Newgrounds flash and I have seen many. I love his voice, and the Aladdin reference was really funny. He really is a character who takes charge of himself and always does what he thinks is best. The introduction of Sheathe was really cool and he is obviously a great character too. While a little too talky, the great voice acting really draws you in in addition to great action.

[Sombre.]

It's great to be back!

While I have not heard of you before, at least it is nice to hear Gagsy in this. I love this because it is so awesome in its surrealness and it relishes in its surrealness. The only way I could tell a person was a woman was because of the breasts. It was weird how everything in the cartoon just seem to bounce everywhere, including the breasts. The animation is gorgeous and I love the overall dark theme. It is a perfect way to understand the morbidness of the world and the human mind.

well i'm glad you enjoyed it. thanks for the review :]

[Titanomachina]

Deserves its #1 spot!

I knew little about Robot Day, but let me say that this has reassured my faith in Newgrounds and this new holiday! I love the animation in this and I think it is among the most graceful flashes ever submitted here. It reminded me of "Neon Genesis Evangelion", you know, with all the giant robots fighting. It has such a fantastic style to it, with all the bits of metal and rock flying everywhere. The creature itself just looks so graceful and it was cool how it came back to fight! Flash is not entertainment for you, it is an art form.

[Smash Kingdom Melee]

Best Super Smash Bros. sketches ever!

This is the best non game tribute to Smash Kingdom I have ever seen! The funniest parts where with the so called "Legion Of Doom" arguing about new recruits. I remember that Kool guy from the Donkey Kong games and it was funny how Mewtwo acted like he could only say his name at first. While not that comedic, the action scenes by themselves were good and would be great as action on its own! I love all of the voices put into this and the unique sprite designs, especially Pikachu. Alvin-Earthworm did a great job too.
