Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[GraFight V]

You're back!

I have no idea how you were able to create the Daily 2nd AND Daily Feature for the same day! While it could have had more colors, this is still a simply fantastic cartoon to watch. It's amazing how you manage to continually come up with original ideas and designs. The worst part of it was probably when it ended! I especially like the guy who uses all of those shards of glass to control everything. It's hard to make up or down of this cartoon.

While not as good as the Daily Feature, it still deserves to watch for its creativity. I like the purple shades that are used by that one character. It's especially cool to see these stick dudes run away with such formidable opponents! I also love how the one guy's face just rips apart to the blue stuff. You prove that stick figures will never die.

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.

[TF2 - The Question]

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!
