Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Invasion of nemisis Ep1]

Has its ups and downs

Well, I'm proud to give this the highest rated review so far. I think the thing I enjoyed most about this was how good the sprites were. My problems are that the moving sprite work wasn't that impressive. It also seemed a bit boring, as I expect more action in something like this. It reminds me of Kirbopher's TTA with the dialogue boxes. It seems like you could also have more reason for what's going on.

I actually think Dragonball Z/Sailor Moon is the most popular fan crossover there is. There's even more fanfics of it than Digimon/Pokemon. You could be a bit more clear on what's going on. It just kind of seems like you have mashed these characters together with little rhyme or reason. You can always have room for improvement of course.

Personally though/ I am not trying to really fallow trends, i'm trying encourage people to upload and do there own stuff. and as for the text, i used text boxes for the simple fact i don't really know how to get the text to match the characters with it being confusing i'm trying to do a good thing by basically telling people not to give into peer pressure and release what you want. that's what i'm hoping to do.- that's why i don't fallow trends. and i'm not looking to make one, all though i hope it gets popular.

[Madness T Trailer]

Great for a trailer

This was so cool to watch I was sad it was just a trailer! Well, maybe I should have simply looked at the title better. What made this cool was how everything was shrouded in mystery so much. The music gave off a perfect tone of being in a strange place with destruction everywhere. I do wish to see the whole thing and perhaps I will next year! You definitley have the potential for something really good here.

Now, for a trailer I do think it could have had more action. I've always admired how Madness flashes have these complicated words in them. It's probably the first time since "Avatar: The Last Airbender" that I've heard of earth bending. I especially like the guys who have O's for faces. I guess it's supposed to contrast with the other guys, although they have more crosses than X's for faces.

[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.
