Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mini animacion!]

Needs more detail

I guess that by looking at this at all, it does seem to be pretty detailed. I mean, I did like it how the character just casually went up to the thing doing the music and smashed it. It's just that that was it, and it is simply very difficult to go into further detail about this. I guess the loading screen was pretty nice. You have some fairly good talent with animation, but it needs work in terms of length. Adding a background as opposed to a white screen would also be a pretty nice touch.

[Bound on Earth]

I remember that duck!

While I never actually played the Earthbound games myself, I remember that duck being used in this "Hock" animation here by Billy Cass! I had no idea what was going on, and why the other characters were ghosts. What really saved this was the great animation. All of the characters, especially the ghosts and the duck were designed well. I thought it was funny how that dumb duck just made quacking sounds when it was defeated. It was a bit hard to find much point in this, but most NG flashes are like that anyway.

MichaFrario responds:

well most of the humor lies in the spazzing duck, and earthbound players will understand everything

[Left 4 Speed 2]

Yeah!!

It's great to see two guys like HappyHarry and Oney contribute to something! This made more sense to me than the last one, as I have now gotten more familiar with the "Left 4 Dead" series. It helps that the animation and voices are as goofy as ever. It's hard to pick a best part, but I may say something like when the lady's mouth was blown off. She really didn't do much else in this cartoon at all. The redneck like guy was also funny, and I just like that big scary black dude.

[Mario And Friends Goof Up]

Cow?

Well, I must say I am impressed that you managed to get this into "Flash Portal History" with such a low score. I mean, while not good, it is quite unique. My favorite part was probably the way the mushrooms were shaped, they looked so silly. I guess it's nice you are working for sound, as you could do better in the future. My biggest complaint was that the characters didn't have good animation and nothing really stood out. I also didn't like it how the white box surrounding them moved with them.

[Dendyn Dynasties]

Love the color

In terms of um, "furries" fighting, this was one of the best uses I have ever seen! The song was also pretty good and I felt it fit the mood well enough. The animation used in this was simply flawless, although I'd say my favorite would be the first fight. It looks like a collab almost, but the fact that you made it by yourself just shows how talented you are! I was also impressed by the number of colorful (quite literally) characters introduced. While I wasn't that big a fan of the story, the action and animation made up for it all.

[Madness Showdown]

Overrated?

I thought that this was one of the best Madness Combat tributes I have ever seen! It has all of the action that any MC tribute could ask for, and I really like the character designs. You used Jason as an original character who really works well in the genre. I think my favorite scene was when he gets hit by fire and shot. It's nice to know that some of those guys can actually cause the villian some damage. The use of weapons was also pretty neat in this one, especially the sharp ones.

[Real Life Tales]

Real life?

I was thinking this was based on real life stuff that happened to you, but it was kind of silly. You may have simply heard someone else talk about their experiences with a midget. It was a bit boring, but it did seem like you were trying to put in a story. The animation was a bit crude, but I guess that may have been part of the joke. I am at least glad you were able to get so many views and reviews for your work. I guess you may in fact hang out with those kind of people.
