Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Typical German Flash]

Typical?

I don't know of many (or really any) German flashmakers on this website, so I can't tell if it's typical. I need notice some flashes of images at the beginning. Too bad they were so brief I can not even remember them. The person depicted is a typical "Ayran" person whom Hitler believed to be the superior race. It kind of makes you realize how dumb he was when he wasn't even one himself. It gets annoying when the song repeats itself over and over.

At least you put it in the "Spam" genre so people knew what they were getting. It's always amazing with how so many people manage to make something so simple. Wait, those images I just talked about came back. I recall seeing Patrick writing things off his "To Do" list. I must have not seen that episode, because I do not remember it.

[God of War 2 Theme]

Pot of tea!

Wow, I'm surprised I didn't come across this earlier. It's amazing to see how far you have come with your animation techniques. The one thing I didn't like was that this reminded me of my favorite flash, animutation, and how it wasn't one. There also could have been some more color and a background. Still, it is always funny to hear misheard lyrics. It makes you eager to go and find out what the actual lyrics are.

It does kind of pale in comparison to your later work, but still enjoyable. It's especially funny to see how the stick figures act so ridiculously. The more detailed drawings (such as the Devil) are quite good. I guess the Devil would become a more popular staple of your work later, huh? It's interesting how this has so little do with the appearance of the game.

[Math Class]

Again?

I have now seen everyone of your flashes and all because they were all so highly rated! It just fascinates me how you made stuff that still holds up to today. I will admit it wasn't as good as I thought it would be, but still really nice. You just look so happy when you're dancing around like that. Drawing doodles in class is something most people can relate to. I have practically notebooks of nothing but doodles.

Luckily, I go to college now, although I still make doodles every now and then. You make a particularly cute face at the end with the Replay button. It is so sad you are no longer here making out these great flashes. You shall always be remembered here for your adorable (and hot) appearance. The music is great and gives off a happy feeling too.

[Car!]

Yes, I can drive!

I heard that StrawberryClock's motto was "I can drive!" (or one of his mottos) but I don't remember him ever saying it. Thank you for submitting this so that I got to hear it. Granted, it wasn't in his voice, but it's good enough. This is probably the best thing you ever submitted. It boasts of the best animation you have ever displayed and the length isn't that bad either. It does lose points where it goes off in the end with the noise.

I am still glad that you managed to give it a definite ending. I liked how SwordfishClock had two eyes, one on the fish and one that was his clock eye. Or is that supposed to be more of his face? A kid's show subversion is classic, especially if it comes to something so demented. Longer and serious animation could use this.

[Duke Nukem Fail]

I'm Batman!

I would think you would put in "I'm The Goddamn Batman!" at the end. It's great to see your awesome style of animation, especially when it is put in so many scenarios. This would have been better if Duke Nukem had been doing some actual killing. Well, he does get a good headshot at that one monster. The most amusing of all of these was probably the one from "Troll 2". 3Dee does a great job creating an extremely dopey voice.

It does seem like you could have done more for jokes. I was expecting Duke to get killed or something at the end. At least you really know how to play up his moronic personality and his tendency to use one liners. The part that was the most elaborate to me was probably the Star Wars one. It looks like Duke Nukem is making a comeback in terms of parody for obvious reasons.

[Divided by Zero]

All I want is equality!

This was amazing because it was a pretty unique idea. There have been a lot of trailers made for non-human wars being fought, but this was still quite original. It does belong in the "Action" genre because you think it will be a parody, but the action really is played straight. Sure, there were jokes, but it works great as an action movie/trailer. It's great how there is so much detail put into the numbers. I guess you can never run out because there are always more numbers.

The style of animation is really well done and sets a tone unique to you. The voices are great and all the numbers seem to have tons of emphasis in their voice. If you ever make more of these, maybe you could throw in negative numbers. I don't think anything else in TOFA 2011 could surpass this. The lines and shadows are all done wonderfully. I like how these guys have little toeless feet with legs sticking out of them too.

[The World is Saved]

What you gain

It has been forever since I've played and completed a game on my own in an actual game console. Wait, I don't even know if I've ever done that. I always got help from my brother. Anyway, enough of this nostalgia and onto the quality of this cartoon. It was just amazing to see such lush effects. The coolest thing was probably how you put a lot of emotion into what us gamers do. Okay, I don't play professional games, but I play tons of games here, so I kind of understand what it's like.

The voice and everything else was so elaborate in this. It was great to see you appeal to your reviewers on such a personal level. It reminds me of that one cartoon about the guy who said he didn't have much to account for all his Internet time. While not as good as that, this is still nice. Luckily, I would never stay up that late playing a game.
