Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Villainy - Episode 1]

Hope he does

This was a very interesting submission because there was a lot of stuff going on. I liked how there weren't really that many crazy things going on, so that it was organized. I prefer your music videos, but this works well too. It's interesting to see how much the characters let their facial expressions tell their emotions. It's also interesting how you have no idea what was going to happen next. When he approached the guy in the alley, I thought he was going to help the murderer as that would be different than you'd expect him to help him.

Instead, he didn't even do that subverted thing! I would love to see the rest of the characters appear in this. The best animation was easily the deranged cop rubbing his hands. It's great to see these villians so frustrated. I couldn't help but do the classic Nelson laugh when the more competant criminal ended up in the same cop car.

Another unique submission!

It's a bit sad seeing as how Ben Spurgin is dead. He would have loved to work on his new Stick Slayer series with all the new stick stuff that's come out since 2005. This was really cool because the music was great and you get a good sense of originality. These characters sure had some pretty weird names. The best thing about this is probably that abstract black entity. It gets its best moment when the character just bursts out of that creature.

The backgrounds are fairly well detailed and it was interesting to have a shadow version fight too. The sounds are nicely done and they sync up very well. It amazes me how people will simply never run out of new things to do with stick fights. You even managed to have somewhat of a reason for why the characters are fighting. There's action every step of the way.

Nice preloader

Oh, I am rather glad that it was not just the preloader, although that would have been nice. The problem with this is that it doeosn't have any sound in the cartoon itself. I can still tell there was some nice effort put into making the preloader. The song can get a bit irritating when it goes on for such a long time. It was also nice of you to have more than just the same image over and over. This is the Clock submission for 2011 that has the highest rating of one I have ever reviewed!

I'm surprised this didn't win Daily Feature. It seems like there could have been more really popular Clock flashes this year. I hope you guys do not dwindle out of popularity because you have at least made some good things. It looks like you guys had some of the best Clock Days for 2011 given your score! You will still always be better than the Kitty Krew.

Ericho... The greatest honor I've received on NG was having you review this movie.

Thank you for showing support, I am blushing like crazy.

How unexpected

It's kind of uncomforting how cats could be used like that. Of course, as that girl had taken such great care of cats, I had no choice but to root for her. It was pretty satisfying when the cats all appeared to bail her out in the end. It's especially funny how the cats are so adorable in how they commit crimes. The animation was downright fantastic when there were so many great angles used in her. I thought this was going to be something more vulgar.

Of course, I knew you would never sink to that level! At least these people managed to get some adorable kittens out of this. It seems like this was an experiment with you as it was fairly unique. It even seemed like it would be an actual game, again, judging from the title. It's great to know you will never stop making these awesome cartoons!

Quite different

I am not that familiar with Greek mythology, but I think this is pretty authentic. It kind of reminds me of the artwork by JAZZA. Of course, you have shown off your own special talent by creating something like this. The best thing is probably when he is fighting the monsters that are literally part of his evil god father (lol). The designs are fantastic, especially with how good the colors go. Again, I am not sure how authentic this is to the original myth.

This is what the guy gets for having so many kids! I like the notion of someone of lesser power defeating someone as strong as a God. You give the viewer a true sense of standing up to authority. It was pretty powerful at the end when he reverted back to his original form. It was nice for you to give all those links to other great epic fights on this website.

Sandvich!

There have been too many goofy "Team Fortress 2" parodies out there. This is easily one of the funniest, because of how well it's animated. You get the true sense of the silliest combination of words and sound effects being smashed around. I'm a brony and I've never seen that MLPFIM episode! I love how these characters have such ridiculously exaggerated body movements. They're just flying all over the place.

Every time a different sound bite is used, it feels like guys change a facial expression. I thought maybe it would be a parody of the cake song from "LazyTown". Everything is just so wonderfully detailed in this. The music used throughout this was also fantastic. It's short, but flawlessly sweet. It's easy to see why you are one of the most popular artists on this website with stuff like this!

Wha???

This is easily the most non-sequitor submission in the series yet. It's hard for me to even say if it's bad or good because of how absurd it is! Still, I have to give you a rating of some kind, so I will give you a very high one. This definitley had tons of funny stuff going on, even though I couldn't comprehend it. I think my favorite was probably when the guy suddenly turned into a pie. Nothing makes any sense in this, but it's still well written.

It's amazing because you have absolutely no idea what is going on in this. It's just a short series of short sketches that have nothing to do with anything. It reminds me of the kind of humor shown in "The Demented Cartoon Movie!". It was cool to see the rainbow in the beginning as it was the only thing with color. The animation is nice throughout the whole thing.

How interesting

These guys have got to have some of the funniest names I have ever heard of! There could have been more of a background, but it was still very well done. What really matters is that you know how to put perspective in this. My favorite part is when there was electricity flowing from their bodies. It's simply something that will never go out of style. It's amazing he still had the nerve to call him a "faggot" after what he had done.

It's fairly satisfying to see bullies get what they deserve. It's also amazing how you have managed to consistently make great submissions. There's always things to make you stand out from other stick flashes, even if it's the color. I had no idea that this was such a long running series you made. I hope you continue with your impressive work.
