Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness Streak Ep. 6-B]

Great addition!

I thought this was really cool because all the characters had such freaky designs. What was also neat was how you had no idea who was going to pop up next. My only problem is that I didn't like how it was presented in such a small format. I could have had some more closeups of the characters. Anyway, this is great to watch because you have that counter. The funny thing is that while a lot of people remember that, it was only in one Madness cartoon.

There were just so many inventive weapons to be used in this. With the hundreds of these things around, you can never run out of original material for this series. It's so popular, I dare say it is a media franchise. The music was fitting, as most Madness music. I have not seen the first part of this, or any of the other parts.

[When a klown dies]

How odd

Well, this was a strange submission because I really had no idea who I was supposed to root for. The clown looked like he was evil with how he controlled everyone. I guess, however, the consensus is that he's the good guy. I knew there would be a reference to Tricky somewhere. That reminds me, it's been forever since I've seen the original Tricky in a flash cartoon submission. Good thing I've never suffered from seizures.

My dad actually suffered with those sometimes. The coolest thing about this is probably how awesome the color effects are. It's great to see all this crazy stuff going on, especially when the beginning looks rather grim. I never knew Mark Twain could work so well as an optimist. It was absurd enough to definitley qualify for an experimental flash.

[Bob the Ball]

Too awesome

I simply love how you keep up the derangedness of this while still keeing up the cheerful voice! Nazi pirates would probably be the most evil of them all. The artwork is just great in this, especially with how everything looks so sketchy. It looks just like something you would see in a deranged book. It's great to see how ridiculously over the top this can be. There are simply always new things to do with killing the Nazi Pirates.

It was unbelievable how there was no way to predict what would happen next. Just when you think it's going to end, it gets even more insane. The funniest part was probably George Washington Christ. I also love how you save the swear word for the end, when we realize how demented it is. It doesn't make me want to play with balls.

[Waiting for redesign]

It was everywhere!

Wow, this was hard to judge because there were just so many things going on. I could swear that there were different people who were working on the animation. If not, then I have to give you credit for being so awesome! The best part about this was probably the animation. I also love how Tom goes insane at the end and kills everyone. As the guy in the building said, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

It's funny, because I was interviewed today and asked about what I thought about the redesign. It's not something that's on my mind. It will happen eventually, as I have noted the different designs we have gone through. It looked like it was heavily influenced by LazyMuffin. I am surprised it only has a score of 3.35.

MihaP responds:

Thank you and yeah i was the only person working on animating this.

[smoke kills]

It can kill!

This was a very funny cartoon even though nothing made sense in it. It showed in 2003 that Bill Clinton was President, which is impossible. It also had the September 11th attacks occur after 2003, which didn't happen. The funniest part was when the frozen Leonardo DiCaprio sank. There were just so many gags, you had no idea what was going to happen next. It was really cool how you kept this up for such a long time.

Well, I would never smoke, but I don't see anything like this ever happening. It also helped that the animation was really well done. There were some great sound effects and music to go along with this, even though there was no dialogue. It's great how you tell the story like that. From the title, I was thinking it would be more serious.

[Mario Brothers - Part III]

That was strange

This has to be one of the most out of the ordinary Mario flashes I've seen. It's been such a long time since I've seen anything he was involved in that was serious drama. You usually think of just action or comedy in stuff he's been in. This wasn't anything like a flash I had seen and while it was hard to get used to, it was still great. I imagine every flash like this would be compared to "Rise Of The Mushroom Kingdom". It's amazing how many scenes you have in a cartoon with no action.

I am just so glad that we managed to pick up on this great series. It shows true emotion and went places no other Mario place would have gone. I was surprised that Mario actually failed in reviving his brother. Of course, he failed at several things as shown in the last episode. It's great that you work so hard to put real emotion in your work.

[Cat vs Mankey episode 2]

Quite unique

This was a very strange entry for Newgrounds. It was actually not that bad, but it just confused me so much. I guess it doesn't help that I am in no way familiar with the first episode in the series. Still, it's nice how you seemed to have really created your own weird world with this submission. The special effects are actually good. I was thinking the monkey would be a Mankey (from Pokemon) but I don't think he was.

I especially love how there's this big cat doing all this silly stuff. It probably helps that I am such a huge fan of cats and like anything with them in it. I guess you could make it so that there's more of an ongoing story. Whatever the intention was, it's definitley something out of the ordinary. You have brought something new to the table.

Ha i read your review few times. Each time I read i realize how right u r. I do live in a weird world and it's awesome that I can share it's weirdness to all of you here. Thanks for the review and hope u follow the series :)

[Construction Men (Scene1)]

Forever indeed!

It's works like this that make me realize how many talented voice actors we have here. In fact, this is simply a great way to get careers started of that kind! What I like about this is how realistic it is. It doesn't try to be flashy or even have a lot of violence, it's more of a slice of life story. You never thought a slice of life Pico story could be entertaining, huh? I love how the one guy looks just like a Tankman with his goggles.

The voices seemed really good in this and there was great emotion into what they were saying. You could really get a sense that these characters had personality. For three minutes, this was actually fairly long for a single scene in a flash cartoon. It was great to have all that music too. I do hope this gets made into a full fledged cartoon.

[Madness Neutralization]

How'd I miss this?

This was a fairly strange submission because it was so long. I think it had a running time of a total of seven or eight minutes. I know that doesn't sound like much, but that is fairly long for a Madness cartoon. My favorite element was how well detailed all of the enemies were. I always like the idea that these characters came from a labrotory. They are just so lacking in facial or any other features, they have to be artificially created.

The animation was nice and slick in this. It was one of the few Madness flashes I had seen where the guy dodged obstacles. I think he died a total of five times, but I'm not sure. It was hard to keep count of how many people died, because some of them died more than once. About halfway through, I pretty much quit counting.
