Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Paradise Lost VD Special]

Has lots of good moments

I think the best thing about this was probably getting to see that Kefka sprite again. In the early days of the website, you saw him all the time. This is good, because it introduces a lot of cool characters. Onslaught is one of the most awesome villians ever and I'm glad he had a cameo. Trust me, under that space suit, Samus is drop dead gorgeous. I wasn't expecting anyway in the cartoon to succeed like that.

Of course, it could be argued everyone died when Kefka blew himself up or whatever he did at the end. The voices were fairly decent. I thought that this was a part of a series, but I looked at your other submissions and didn't see anything else with a similar title. Of course, in the author's comments, you imply it is part of a series.

[ClockDay08:The Chase of B]

Not much going on

It didn't really seem like anything special, because it was just a guy being chased by the "B" over and over. At least it's nice to know that Benny Hill theme never gets old. There could have been a lot more detail like color instead of just the actual red "B". Of course, this was intended as a spam flash. How come the flash I submitted didn't get a high rating like these others do? I guess I should have made it more about Clock Day.

BTW, it's deleted now, so don't bother looking it up. At least the voice was pretty spot on. Well, it wasn't technically a voice, it was just created with that Speakaphone thing. As a short, very silly flash, this truly does succeed in what it sets itself out to do. It's funny how no matter what the quality is, you still have that awesome loading screen.

Haggard responds:

Yeah, if you want your flash to succeed on Clock Day it should at least contain the letter B, haha!

[Fritt the (C) Ferret]

Better than it seems

I was afraid it was going to be hard to understand what was being said, but I understood it. The censored jokes at the beginning were pretty funny. It's scary how the ferret has a male voice while having four breasts. It's actually nice to see a representation of an animal like that. It reminds me of this controversy I heard about Disney characters being depicted on a Day care center. They were simply painted over.

I guess more websites about the evil of SOPA should be made instead of Disney. I love how amazingly surreal everything you make is. There's a great sense that you're trying to be unique and you succeed. I think the funniest bit was probably when you mentioned that if the ferret was drawn on a baby, the baby would be destroyed. Goofy explosive effects are usually funny.

[Pencilmation: The Caveman]

Makes me hungry

It's great to see this series back, especially when you seem to add something new to the designs. I look forward to seeing where the rest of this will play out. Thank you for telling us the next episode will take place in Egypt, I guess. I think the best visual gag in this was probably when he got a fuse with the question mark. I also liked the lengthy dots. I heard those are supposed to represent whenever a character is not talking.

But if those represent when a character isn't talking, wouldn't everyone have those? Well, I guess I'm probably overanalyzing. I wasn't expecting the bunny to appear. I guess he got a taste of his own medicine when the saber toothed tiger got him. Maybe you will eventually get to a present day time and show someone with a computer.

[Three Little Pigs Anime]

That was unexpected

I have seen a lot of animesque stuff on this website and this was very weird. It was still great, because it was certainly original. I have seen human versions of well known anthropomorphic characters before, but not the three little pigs and the big bad wolf. If you do ever get to finish this, it will probably be well worth it. The animation is really good, particularly how bright the colors are. I like how they still have pig ears.

This plays out just like the actual story did. That reminds me, I doubt if I've ever read the full literature of many of these fairy tales. I think the best part was when the wolf showed how heavy he was breathing. I would love to see how this scenario started out in flash. I know nothing about drawing in Flash, but will still support you.

[MadSeth 5: Enervation]

Happy MD to you too!

While it's been awhile since the day, this is still a good video to watch. I especially like how all of the designs were original. It was weird how you said it was thirty seconds earlier, but it seemed longer than that. I guess my only complaint is that there could have been more action. As these stories don't have much plot, it was still nice of you to include a recap. You really didn't know what was going to happen with this.

The rocket itself looked kind of weird and stood out from the other things. I lost count of the, well, body count. I think this may be the first Madness flash I've seen where there was hospital staff. With all the crazy stuff that goes on in these flashes, you'd think there would be more of those guys. You could just have some more action.

Rapheus responds:

Great review!

-Yeah, I timed the 'Ganondork killing Seth' scene and it came out to about 30 seconds.
-I agree with the action, It's kind of slow. I'll chalk that up to laziness on my part. :/
-Even I had no idea what was going to happen this episode. I turned out different that the storyboard.
-Yeah, I Googled a rocket and traced it in flash, I'm not that good artistically.
-Of course they need medics! Who else is gonna clean up the messes? Haha.

Thanks again for the review, man! :D

[Tetris Mafia]

Quite funny

While it was indeed short, it doesn't matter because it was so good. It's great to see you experimenting with all different kinds of stuff to work with. I think the strongest point was probably the animation. For something that was a parody of a game that didn't have much action, it was nicely detailed. There have been so many video game parodies out there, it's hard to find original ideas. It's especially hard for original ideas with games that do not have real characters in them.

I could tell where this was going after awhile. The voices are really well done and while there weren't that many, you seemed to really get the emotions done right. I am anticipating for the next X-Men parody. Congrats to Peter for this music, because it truly fit the theme. It just goes to show that short stuff can turn out great.

[The Noob Adventures Episode 6]

That's pretty good

I think this might be my favorite in the series. While there are a good number of jokes, I still don't think it has enough to qualify as a "Parody". This is still very enjoyable because the animation is just so wonderfully well done. It's amazing how much dimension you can give to this. I felt so sorry for the burning Pikachu at the beginning of this cartoon! I am just going to have to play this game eventually, no matter what it takes.

The voices are especially great. I think the best part is how the wise looking mentor has the voice of a kid. You claim that this would be nothing but "Star Wars" references, but the kid's name was a nice reference to "The Matrix" as well. As the monsters are nicely designed. If he took away the bucket, then they wouldn't be having buckets of fun.

[Wonders: Foodmatron]

A lot of fire ants

It helps that you guys manage to keep up the great animation. I think this is one of the few times where a collab was organized for something that kept a consistent story and art style. It's so nice to see all you talented people doing so much. There don't even seem to be that many voices in this, yet there are so many people credited! This really gives the sense that this website is a great community. Why would anyone order red ants like that?

Then again, the fish guy says they apprently have some use. It's funny to see this guy get more frustrated as it goes on. I can only imagine what horrors are going on inside that room. I really like how the guy has a girly voice at the end of the cartoon. It's great to see how this series is progressing so well and I hope you all continue to work on it.
