Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Starcon2 Western Show]

More great stuff from Zarla

I don't even need to look for all of your flashes to review, as all of them are already highly-rated! It was great as always to hear that awesome music and the voice work. I'm not familiar with this "Starcontrol" thing, but I was still able to enjoy this. I loved how the characters moved and their designs were flawless as usual. I did find it a bit weird how you had to slash all the names out, when since the song was already in Japanese, you could have just replaced them on your own. It's simply a great thing to watch in any way.

[Spider Powers]

Look, I'm sorry!

I thought this was going to be a sequel to the "Spider Powers For Xmas" series. It's impressive submitting two things in one day that are completely different. The beginning made it seem like it was from Cyanide & Happiness, and it does seem like something they would make. I never even thought about gaining a bunch of legs in addition to Spiderman's powers. I like how the purple spider is drawn. I was not expecting that guy to be bitten at all.

[Garfield is Awesome]

Hey, not bad

While it may have been short, it was still pretty fun to watch while it lasted. The animation seemed to be pretty authentic to the original Garfield comic strip, albeit not of high quality. There are just an endless number of Garfield parodies running around on the Internet, so it's only fitting I'd see one here. While not as surreal as most of them, it did a good job of poking fun at the comic. I look back and realize I just don't like Garfield anymore. This could use some more jokes next time.

[Bobo the Hobo]

Better than I thought!

I wasn't expecting much, but this turned out to be pretty fun to watch. The animation may not be the best, but I believe that it's quality enough. I just KNEW there was going to be a twist about the woman taking her clothes off. I mean, just showing a rape scene is predictable and in poor taste. I'm glad you seem to put a lot of effort into this, with so much KB being put into it. I'm not familiar with your stuff, but you seem to be a decent animator.

Cheers. Glad you liked it :)

[Fight Sequence II]

It was pretty creative

I've seen a lot of sprite stuff with explosions and the like and this was pretty typical. I didn't see the first one in the series, but it seems pretty good. I thought the explosions were as well done as any other cartoon. It's also pretty interesting to find something original, as I don't recall seeing sprites just like this in other flashes. My biggest complaint is that it could have been a little longer. At least the music was nice, but brush up a little on the drawn animation (the grenade).

[Hay Wars]

Hay!

It was interesting to see a live-action video with effects like this on Newgrounds. Sure, it's more suited for YouTube, but it's certainly something I wouldn't mind seeing more of. I thought the effects with the lasers were done really well. Sure, it didn't have much of a story, but you pointed out how cheesy it came to be. It was nice to see a location like a barn yard, you know, out of the ordinary. The music was also pretty good, and I think it fit the theme well enough.

Fro responds:

The sequel, Snow Wars, should be finished and uploaded tomorrow. I would appreciate a review there as well! :)

[Reintroduction 2 Face]

It wasn't terrible

This was something that I can best describe as being mediocre. I really liked how you worked the music in and how it was a really cool song to even start with. The claymation seemed to be pretty nice, even if it really had no story. My suggestions would be to have it be longer and to have somewhat more impressive stuff. It did live up to what it's title said it was supposed to be, so I'm glad for that. You seem to have talent in this animation style, you just need to be more creative with it.

[Cyanide & Happiness Book]

Flawless

Explosm/Cyanide & Happiness stuff is some of my favorite things on the Internet! While I haven't read the webcomic, I'm a huge fan of the flash shorts made on this account. The way the simplistic drawing works with the sophisticated humor is just awesome. This cartoon itself was something truly great, as I loved the different uses for the book. The funniest part was probably the girl finding out about herpes. It turns out I am in fact one who goes to bookstores a lot, so I'm sure I'll check this out.
