Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hardon Potter]

What's with the sound?

I'm not sure if this was just a problem with me, but I couldn't quite understand the sound. In the first half of this, there seemed to be some weird noise. I thought maybe it was an ad, but I don't think so. If you had gotten rid of that, I probably would have awarded this 9 stars. What was cool about this cartoon was simply how ridiculous it was. I love how Ron pointed out they could have just used a Stunning Spell.

I wonder if characters in Harry Potter ever use that? Well, it's great that you're making HP parodies even though the books and movies are over. I especially love how awesome everyone is drawn here. It's so deranged, it's like something out of Ren And Stimpy. It was also cool to include that scene at the very end.

[pokemon battle episode 1]

What is this?

Well, this was presented as a game but it didn't seem to be one. Then again, I'm only saying that because it was apparently from a website about games. What was really annoying was how there was no sound at all except for in the beginning. I'm guessing this was supposed to be a joke or something? I don't see how this is funny. It's just pokemon doing nothing but hitting each other and making explosions.

When you announce the attack, you just show a screen with the pokemon. I suggest you should have a background for these projects. You could at least find some pokemon music online and add it there. This just seems way too rushed. Please try to listen to people with constructive criticism to improve yourself.

Some spider!

This was quite different than most of your other music videos. And considering how weird you are, that's REALLY saying something. I especially like how even the animation seems to be different this time. It was weird to not hear that normal voice carrying out the words. This wasn't an infinite loop, as most of your songs are, at least your most popular songs. It was really a song you could take your time with. It was so surreal I can't even remember a single word to it!

It's extremely fast paced and I love it! It was wierd how a fly would be working with a spider on something. You are always known for having a zany style, but it's just fantastic you experiment with yourself all the time. "None." is a good way to describe this ridiculous music video. I hope you continue to do amazing stuff.

[Yotam & Fantasia 04]

Another good one!

I'm really starting to lighten up to this series to see the stories that it is telling. It seems like you are genuinely trying to create an authentic slice of life story here. Then again, there is weird stuff like the guitar randomly appearing. I love how you point out how that's even possible. I suppose if a friend of mine was crying, I would try to say something. It's so great that you managed to find a friend with as ridiculous a name as yours.

It's also interesting how there is an ongoing story with this. It's a bit out of place, but still great to look at. The animation is as great as ever, especially with how exaggerated the mouth movements are. In case anyone's wondering, you click on "End" at the end to replay the thing. Congradulations on yet another Daily Feature!

[Neonic Arena (Under Const]

Looks nice

Well, if you're going to make one thing with no background or sound, this is the way to do it. Granted, it's still not good, but better than most submissions like it. I think my favorite part would have to be how the main character has a Tron like appearance to him. It's hard to tell what's going on, because there's no sound. Even if it was in a different language, and I couldn't understand the dialogue, I could hear the regular sounds.

It was kind of hard to see the whole way through, because not a lot happens. There just isn't much of a reason to root for whoever's in this. The animation is actually good in this, especially with the explosions. It's not bad for a test. I think that you should turn this into a full fledged flash, as I imagine it would become more popular.

[re:defined - Throning]

How dirty and stinky

Well, I thought this would be better, but it just seemed to be too short. I guess the problem is that it was just talking about stinkiness. I mean, that is funny, but it seems like you would need more for a single submission. I am glad that I was introduced to this, because it was nice to hear what that word meant. All this time, I thought it had something to do with being a king. Maybe it's just being used in a different context here.

I did like the music that was used. It's pretty cool when you manage to have three seperate songs being used for something when you don't even have a flash that's over a minute long. Toilets are a good source of humor. My brother used to sit (and kind of still does) on the toilet all day like that. I hope he doesn't develop hemorrhoids.

RicePirate responds:

this will be the last single submission ... in the future, if i submit more, it'll be a compilation of words.

[Mario Brothers - Part I]

How unfitting

Wow, so unfitting music at the end of something serious or scary has been around since 2003? I didn't realize that this entire series was a flashback. It's pretty good because I forgot how it would end by the time the last entry came. It's amazing how few people make serious Mario flashes. Everything about this is extremely dramatic. You get a true sense of being in a dark world different than what you know of the games.

It seems like a lot of people have made flashes like this. Yours was one of the originals and the best. It's pretty cool to see how characters that have such old designs manage to show off their abilites so well. You know how to make something epic no matter what it looks like. I really felt sad when Luigi actually died.
