Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[License to Combo 2]

A barrage indeed!

This was great to watch because you never knew what was going to happen next. The coolest thing was the animation and how amazingly slick everything was. I wasn't expecting there to be any dialogue at all, what a pleasant surprise! Another cool thing was how much I enjoyed it even though I did not see the original. You can simply never go wrong with stick violence. The use of color was flawless in this, everything just jumped out at you so much.

In fact, the only downside was that I wish this could have been longer. All the sound effects are extremely authentic as well. My favorite part is probably the scene where he throws that one guy in the venting shaft and he gets all chopped up. Killing can always be creative. The fast pacedness of it works so well.

Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed it, Keep a look out for the next one, it'll come soon :)

[Aura Test(Done in 5 mins)]

Huh?

This did not work out that well because there is so little that happens in this. It's not so much that the sprite work is bad, it's just that it was way too brief. Tests are not the sort of thing that you should submit to this website anyway. Look for personal stuff on the Internet or your website to release this. The sprite work isn't even that impressive. All of the characters are yellow or something and it just looks silly.

The background does make it look unique. The big problem is that it's just the same music over and over. I am not a fan of "Bleach" so I can not recognize this music. The best thing to do is to at least show some action or the enemies in your test. Put a lot more effort into this, and I bet the final product could be much better.

[Chips.]

How strange...

This was an extremely strange cartoon to look at. At first, I was thinking it was just going to be a spam flash or a joke kind with nothing going on. I admit, I was pleasantly surprised to find out this actually was pretty creative. The coolest thing about it was the animation which just went everywhere. You were right to put this under the "Experimental" genre. It's really quite artsy overall, even if it makes no sense.

I am glad it did not end after the first set of credits. I thought this was going to be all about potato chips or edible chips in some way. If I had a pet chip, I think I would name him "Chip". The music was nicely done as well. While extremely incoherent, it had enough style for me to recommend it and you have made a style of your own.

[Cold Hill Horror]

You monster!

At first, I thought this was goig to be something interesting, but you put Justin Bieber at the end! That's the worst thing you could possibly do! Seriously, this was at least a lot better than a lot of other goofy stuff I've seen here. Good thing you warned us it was going to be stupid. The best thing about this was that the animation used wasn't half bad. I must have a dirty mind, I thought the cup at the beginning had poop in it.

I don't think I've ever heard this song before. In fact, I don't even think I've ever heard of Miss A before. What matters is that you tried to make something that was a bit entertaining until they end. Another good factor is how you didn't make the song go on forever as it stopped after awhile. At least it wasn't that "Jeans" song.

[Stoner Mario Bros 1-1]

Can't hate it

Wow, I really had no idea where this is going. For something about the Mario brothers being stoned, this was actually more intelligent than I thought it would be. The thing that helps is that the sprite work is quite good in this. I don't know why the brothers have their colors reversed, but that's the least weird thing about this. I wasn't sure what was going to happen because of the intro. At least now I know what movie that "Excellent" sound comes from.

Everything was pretty well paced, even if it didn't make much sense. Due to the weed factor, it was hard to follow through. I suggest you put in some more action next time, but this was certainly not bad. It helps that you also use that great music throughout the whole cartoon. You really seemed to create a unique Mario level for this.

[Straw Berry Clock]

Kind of an obvious joke

It's nice that people are always giving their Clock Day flashes credit. While the animation wasn't good, at least this submission had an original concept to it. You would think that with all the thousands of Strawberry Clock flashes out there, someone would have made that joke. It still would have been nice to put in a background or music. I know it's not meant to be that good, but it would make it more enjoyable. I'm seeing illuminate on everything I review now!

Some of the moving text was a bit creative, but not enough to save it. It doesn't even look that much like a straw. It looks more like it's trying to look like a lawnmower moving on the grass or something. At least you had a nice Clock Day with a lot of 5s and stuff. It even looks more like a raspberry than a strawberry.

[Zombie of Nazi Persuasion]

How random

I think it might be the first submission I ever saw where the only person credited was the "actor". While I don't think these kinds of submissions belong here, this was still pretty good. At first, I thought it was going to be a parody of "Tik Tok". It was mostly because you started the song with "Wake up in the morning". The coolest part was probably when you showed the gameplay with the zombies being killed. I was actually expecting it to be more outrageous with the title.

At least it looks like everyone had fun with this. I suggest you maybe make the rhyming a little faster as you don't seem to emote that well. Now, I'm not familiar with this game, so I can not complain about if it was authentic to its style. You consistently keep up a good sense of fun. I hope you continue to kill Nazis and zombies!
