Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[MGS3 : Lock Eater]

Aww, why was it so short? I felt like you could have done so much more with this. I still appreciated how creative it was. I don't recall seeing a Lock like this. The music was nice too. The colors were pretty vibrant as well.

The pacing wasn't bad. It just felt like it should have built up to something more. I don't think anything was eaten. Why did you credit yourself twice? You even have the same description.

["Target Practice"]

I remember when I first saw this and it said that this cartoon was protected. It doesn't say that anymore. I guess it's pretty easy to say this should remain here. It's amazing how long it's been since then. I'm not someone to blame video games. I was just watching a video where Penn was defending video games.

People are just insane. I guess the animation's pretty good. How should I refer to the author? I really don't want to say anything controversial here. I'll just stop now.

[The Takamori Legend]

I really liked this! It was great how you set up so much without dialogue. I could feel for these characters. Maybe it could have been a little longer. It's still tons of fun to watch. I can always appreciate creativity. Everything is just so beautiful here.

Maybe not the most unique, but it's great to look at. You tell a lot in a short time. I'm a sucker for ninja stuff. Yes, I'm a big "Naruto" fan. Not much to say, it's just great.

[Black Mages 3]

Why is the score so low? Okay, I admit it isn't one of your best submissions, but it's still nice. I do think it was too long. It probably needed more variety. The animation didn't seem to improve. I really did like how fluidly the characters moved.

The music was great as well. I guess I wouldn't recommend it, but it's not terrible. Maybe I'm just that big a fan of your work. I think the colors worked really well. For me, it was pretty fun.

[Goomba Vol. 2]

It's weird seeing as how the original was better. Well, they were released at roughly the same time. I guess there wasn't much room for improvement. This was decent. Any action flick with a goomba as the hero is cool. So THAT'S where that music came from.

I mean, don't get me wrong. I had seen the movie. I just didn't make the connection. I liked the silhouette with the sword scene. Those are always cool.

[PALADIN episode 1]

I had no idea that the series went back as far as 2004. It just seems newer. I guess the animation really does get better as it goes on. It was great to see a completely serious cartoon from you. Granted, there weren't much others at this time. It's just a really classic story.

It's hard for me not to love anything with such good mythology. While not one of my favorite cartoons from you, it was definitely artful. I'm glad you're still here. I'm impressed at how it holds up. Hard for me to also not love anything with zombies.

[Legendary Tales 1-4]

I found most of these shorts to be decent. My favorite is probably "Metal Gear Tech Support". I haven't seen those games in awhile. You have pretty slick animation. Some of them were a bit too long. They feel like they could have been submissions on their own.

I'm a sucker for popular music, so I liked the last one. I think the "Backseat Gaming" was the weakest. It wasn't very funny. The variety was pretty good here. I can always appreciate that.

[John Kerry in Vietnam]

Dang, I'm really getting scared by your Cosby avatar now! I guess it always helps to be topical. We thought this was the weirdest scenario we'd have with a President. Boy, were we wrong! I'm glad to give your first review of 2017. If only I had been earlier you would have had one in 2016.

I remember watching this when I first came here to this website! Political satire is always nice. You were pretty creative. I liked the Nazi joke. The characters just look so funny too.

JeremyLokken responds:

Thanks Ericho! Love your reviews, you are very active and generous on my content!

[Dawn of the Dead in Milto]

It was cool to see all those video game characters as zombies. The animation was...weird. I didn't really know what to think of it. I guess it was mostly good. It did look goofy in some areas. For the most part, it worked out.

You really do have a unique style. I din't know it would be all video game themed. I was surprised by Peach first appearing. The Johnny Cash song was nice. I guess it was kind of suiting.

[Sonic vs. Shadow: Rivalry]

It's pretty easy to tell this was an early cartoon from you. There were a lot of people who first came here at this time. It was just a golden age for the website, I guess. I think the sprite work actually does hold up! Granted, that might be only because the quality is so low. It's easier this way.

It wasn't anything that unique, but still passable. There were a lot of cartoons like this. People really were inspired by TTA! Anyway, this is nice for a quick scene. It's pretty organized. It could have been longer, though.
