Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spider Powers 2]

Very nice

I really liked the references to the previous installment, even though it was not a direct sequel. The animation was good and it was nice how it ended with everyone crying to wrap things up.

I do have some bad news for you. There's a comic strip called "Pearls Before Swine" that had a comic strip ending in a punchline where a character was talking to letters of the alphabet. The letter "x" was very mean, and it was hard to talk to his "x". I am sorry someone else beat you to this joke first.

Ahh well may not be the most original idea - but I hope you enjoyed it just the same.

Frigging brilliant

I just loved watching this, simply because I did not know what was going to happen. I thought that it might be a joke flash at first as it seemed to have pretty boring source material. It really puts into perspective how much soap operas have fallen since the 1970's. It is simply great that somebody would try to put a great action twist on the genre. Sure, it looks a little cheesy, but what matters is that you put a lot of heart into it. I had seen so many biographies of these characters on Wikipedia, it was great to have them be at least acknowledged.

[DBZ: Piccolo's Problem]

Now that's comedy

I watched "Dragonball Z" as much as the next guy, and this sort of thing did occur to me. Piccolo merged with Nail and later Kami, but the series just seemed to forget about it. What are those guys thinking the whole time they are in his body and why was this never addressed? Did they die when Piccolo died the second time perhaps (the series was soon to be over anyway)? While it had a simple design, it really delivers what it is supposed to. I am just glad somebody thought of something as obvious as this.

[The Race!]

So fun

This may be the shortest cartoon you have ever made but unlike the pigeon one, it is a lot better. It does not build up to a punchline as much as your other ones, but it is quite funny. These characters do have depth despite just being stick figures. While this did not start out as a cartoon, I can say you have taken stick figures to a whole new level. It is not pure violence, it is just a funny setup with an interesting joke. I swear, I will never get tired of that Dan Paladin music that always shows up.

[Great Destiny Man]

Perhaps your best

I was thinking it was strange how this would be my favorite cartoon from you, as it did not appear to be comedic at first. It had some great action scenes but also worked really worked well as being a comedy as you yourself said in the author's comments. I am glad you are working with an entirely new cast of characters. I think the funniest part was just how angry that woman was, like when she threw the rock and stick at him. It did end a little abruptly, but still great to watch. The best action part was probably when he put one guy's arm in the other guy's head.

[T E T R I S ' D : Rising]

Not bad

I will say that this was probably one of the weakest entries in the series. I am really only saying this because I did think it lacked the action that made the other ones so good. It was still pretty cool to see the designs of those ships. I guess this is supposed to be an origin story and that is a pretty interesting concept to explore. The animation was as imrpessive as ever, it just needed more going on. It is interesting as you really have no idea where this series will go next.

[Zomborg Apocalypse - 006]

It was a little better

It is too bad that you apparently were not able to get this series finished, as it looks like it was building up to something great! This one was better than the previous installment if only because of that totally awesome design the big zombie cyborg has. Yup, I knew that guy was infected. I think this one got a little more into emotion as it showed the guy being taken away. As a big fan of zombies, I was expecting more action. It still seems to be better than a lot of other stuff at least.

[Zomborg Apocalypse - 005]

It's a great idea

I have just been introduced to this series and while this was pretty short, I can at least say that I am very glad to see something that has zombie cyborgs! This one did not have much action in it, but it did have a lot of anticipation. I loved how the zombie's arm reformed and kept becoming more and more complex. The animation and color makes it look kind of old and authentic. I guess that dude is going to be a zombie pretty soon. It would be better if you put these into fewer cartoons.
