Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[DBZ Spoof]

Really needs work

It's too easy to accuse this of being a ripoff of "Dragonball Z: The Abridged Series" as I'm not even sure when that was made. The voices were okay, especially Nappa's. The animation could really use some work as the characters are just not drawn well. It was hard to find a lot of good punchlines in this, as it was supposed to be a parody. It's nice to try, but if there's ever a followup, try to make the animation smoother. It just seems to be drawn quite crudely.

[Edbert and Otis ep. 1-5]

That was interesting

Seeing as how it was made back in 2003, I can understand why the animation wouldn't be so good. The best part was how well you drew yourself on the menu. This didn't make me angry, but didn't give anything that great as it was basically stick figures saying incomprehensible language. It's nice how some of them seemed to connect with each other, with the house burning down. I guess this was an early work of yours, so I suggest working with the advancements Flash has made. Overall, it's mediocre.

[Sketchy Friends Dance 2]

Simply great stuff

I was impressed at how this had all of the good music and funky beats as the original. It could have been a little more creative, but it's still definitley something I would recommend. The characters have so much depth to them, despite the fact that they don't even have any color in themselves. They never talk, but they express themselves in an even better way. It's goofy, yes, but it's very creative and entertaining. It's fun to see how long it takes for me to figure out it's an infinite loop.

TheBoogley responds:

yes, that is the most fun. I love sitting with people watching it and not telling them anything then waiting for the uncomfortable silence when we've been sitting there for five minutes wondering when the hell it's going to end

[Beauty is Humanity]

I love the tone

I'm more used to seeing flashes by you where's a ton of action and great animation. This didn't have that much action and the animation could have been better. I still enjoyed this simply because of the great message it is trying to send. You have shown us our past, present, and a future (which we'll never know anyway). It's interesting to see all of the things we have to be thankful for in humanity at any period of time. I am also glad you got your first award with this cartoon.

i'm trying to prove that i'm not just a one-trick pony.

and thanks!

[The bird strikes]

HELP ME!!

Well, this is quite different than the stuff from you that I am used to seeing. The animation could have used some color, as it did give of a feeling of blandness. I still have to give you credit for making it funny as that stupid guy was being carried off by the bird. I loved the way he sounded and how his silly little legs moved as he was taken away. This was pretty interesting if you were intending on making a joke flash. Otherwise, it just needs more length and better effects.

[Punch a Bitch]

It can be fun

I liked how you could just punch this stupid woman over and over and over. I have no clue if there's any end to this game, but I honestly doubt it. It's a little disappointing how you can reach a certain point where you simply can't cause any more damage to her. It can be fun just doing the same thing, as the sounds are realistic enough. That woman does look pretty stupid, so perhaps in some way she deserves it. I suggest you have more going on and more detail in your next game.

[Burnt Face Man 9]

Best Burnt Face Man!

This was some of the funniest stuff I have ever seen from you, and from this entire website! This is one of the few things I have laughed out loud! I think the funniest part was when the guy said, "A bird it be" and shot off Burnt Face Man's leg. I also loved how you literally tied up all the loose ends at the end of the episode. The randomness and ridiculousness of it made it seem like Monty Python or something. I could just spend all day listing funny stuff (like when the Indian guy was talking about burning his genitals).

[Deadly Bite]

A funny joke

I have in fact heard a joke like this, or maybe it was the same joke. It doesn't matter, because it manages to be effective in terms of its delivery. I also really like the animation, it really looks like something from some Russian TV show. The way the characters seemed to talk fast was pretty funny as well, even if that was unintentional. I've heard that in real life, sucking out the poision is actually pretty hazardous. It's more likely to spread germs through your saliva than help.
