Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The evil fly 2]

I have not seen the first one, but this doesn't seem that good. It seems to just be a fly getting eaten with Mario coming up and being beheaded. It's too bad you just used a very simple sprite. I admit it's impressive to have a rating this high. You need to work a lot more on drawing. I myself know it's hard to submit things.

It just seems like this had little effort in it. It was nice for it to be so short, I suppose. It was also probably too short. I could not get a feeling for anything that was going on. Capitalization for everything could have worked too.

I made this when I was a freshman in high school because my friend wanted me to make a sequel. I don't do flash anymore so I don't give a shit.

[>>Lemonade Stand<<]

I was quite turned off by this. First of all, the animation is quite poor. Second, the voices are not that good. I think that speakaphone thing only works with Clocks. These guys look like they have worm heads like Earthworm Jim. I also think that joke about lemonade being urine is old.

It is impressive you managed to get such a high score. You need to work a lot with shading and color effects. You could also get some actual voice actors. I think I may have seen one lemonade stand in my life. In the new age, they're not much.

I made this when I was 16. And it's still fucking funny to me. Kill yourself Ericho.

[Animated Dungeon Crawlers]

I watched an episode of "The Amazing World Of Gumball" that had the exact same premise. I think it was probably done better. Of course, he wasn't a cloud. I really liked the animation in this. It was cool to see how unique the designs of the crawlers were. I loved how you could see the back of that one guy's eyes when he was facing away.

Those guys look like giant gumdrops. That would explain the bite mark on his side. The funniest part was probably the bit about the hallway. While not great, definitely good. I hope you had a merry Christmas!

[Bilbo the Diabetic]

I admit that I have absolutely no idea what that has to do with Christmas. I mean, it's nice you mention it at least! I guess it's just that it was about candy. I believe this was from the Lord of the Rings cartoons from the 1970's, was it? It doesn't seem to hold up that well. It was nice to just see a scene from that movie.

It really was nothing but a single altered image. You could have done without the first half of it. Well, it did kind of make it more ironic when it finally appeared. You should have submitted this when the Hobbit was coming out, like now. Then again, you may not have known about it in 2011.

Psychopath responds:

Numbnuts, look at the upload date, it says December 22nd, three days before Christmas day.

[GTA For Kids]

I found this it to be quite funny. I imagine something like "Too Cute: Pokemon" would be a tough act to follow. I loved how you mocked the interactivity (or lack of it) here. The CGI was wonderful. If flashes are made this way, I'd be okay with that. I wasn't expecting a black guy to be a cop, lol.

Dang, I have not been running into any Christmas stuff recently, have I? While the animation was limited, the expressions were still good. It's another one of those great parodies. They don't seem to work in feature length form anymore. I was thinking of "dog" before "duck".

[Martin Taunts 2]

I thought this was going to be an April Fool's Day joke, but it was not. I guess it probably works just as well as any other day. Here's another truly surreal flash you made. It seemed like you guys were making a parody of a parody of a parody. Dang, will this recursion ever end?! There's a reason you're my favorite animator.

You and Martin have taken meta comedy to a whole new level. I guess I was expecting something more Christmas related, but this works too. Yes, I'm a brony as well. The animation is as good as ever. Yugi and Naruto are freaking adorable!

[Spacetime Fabric Softener]

I couldn't help but be reminded of this cartoon someone else made awhile back. It was a better one. That is not to say of course, that this wasn't great in its own right. The best part about it is probably the animation. It's just wonderful to see all these colors together! It wasn't so much of a music video as there were no lyrics, or were there?

I guess songs without words could count. I like how you appeal to the explorer in us all. Let us never lose that aspect of our personality. I can see why it has such a high score. It is quite innovative.

[SS - The God Particles]

I was as impressed with this as ever. I think my biggest compliment is how you delve into so much. That can only be expected by a video this long. It does feel like something that should be on a more professional website. Then again, our motto is everything, by everyone! I liked the clips you used.

You rarely see that in stuff here. I couldn't help but think it was downvoted by some people who know more about science. I'm glad the SS didn't stand for the Star Syndicate. I thought you would mention the Large Hadron Collider given the title. Thanks for trying to inform us.

[And TheRaven Brought Fire: No Evil 002]

I was really impressed by this! I don't know how I missed it when it got Daily Feature. I just really appreciate how unique it is. You get the sense that you're in a real story here. I wasn't aware of that song by Edgar Allen Poe. It was easy to tell it was made by him when it had "Raven" in the title.

While it didn't have character development, it was still done with regards to these characters. I appreciate you injecting life in them through a song. It really does tell an interesting story. It helps that the animation is downright gorgeous. I appreciated everything about this.
