Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[blobba blob blob]

Attack of the blobs!

Probably the only thing I didn't like about this was that it was not in color. Everything else was pretty much flawless. I loved how these monstrosities just turned into each other over and over. There are a lot of infinite loop submissions here, but yours are the ones that truly work the best. They know how to put order into what they do. It's the kind of thing you can look up at and always see new things.

The music is great, and the animation is wonderfully fluid. The cartoon itself sounds like something that would be in a zen riddle. When do these creatures start and when do they end? You do the surrealist community great credit with this awesome stuff. There's even quite a few variations in what they do. I hope you never lose your touch!

TheBoogley responds:

thanks again for yet another lovely and detailed review. Knowing that there are people like you out there enjoying my work really motivates me to create my best work. I plan to eventually colour this and refine the drawing, but this is the best I can do for this one month deadline.

[MOOLT-The Facebook Effect]

What effect?

This was one of the best in the series you have made. It really works because it goes on long enough for you to truly enjoy it. It really got outrageous when everyone kept barfing everywhere with all the flying stuff. The parrot was also a great effect as he just randomly spoke stuff I didn't understand. Everyone is just presented in the goofiest fashion here and it all works so well. The fat guy in the green shirt easily has the best voice.

It's great to hear him go nuts over everything. It's hilarious how his big fat body just runs everywhere in such a funny manner. It kind of makes me glad that I don't even go to Facebook that often. I had no idea he was going to eat the cell phone and mouse cord at the end. It also makes me glad that I have a wireless keyboard.

[Cyberskull]

It deserves it!

Dude, you definitley deserve the reward for Daily Feature for Robot Day 2011! The coolest thing about this was the animation. At first, I thought it was kind of cheesy, but it definitley got better as it went on. You really went out of your way to put a lot of body movements into these ridiculous characters. If this was an actual thesis for school, I hope you passed with flying colors! It just shows you how a holiday can influence a person. It is the best submission I saw for this Robot Day, as you might have guessed.

The helmets looked a lot like the kind used in that game "Ching Chong" something. It's not as much about robots as it is about cyborgs. Of course, I'm being too picky because this is a fantastic cartoon! For those who haven't seen it, the final sentence contains spoilers. I imagined it would be real after all at the end, but not with the bird!

Nogfish responds:

thanks! there will be a sequel ;)

[Bahamut's BDAY Flash]

Happy birthday!

Hey, I think you share the same birthday as TehSlapHappy! I am glad you created something with such an elobrate image to help you out on your day. The things I did not like was that it was too difficult to get the medals. I tried clicking on everything I could, but nothing seemed to work! Oh well, at least I manage to recognize everyone here. I'm not even a fan of yours, I've just seen so many flashes, I recognize everyone here.

It's cool how there's always something going on in the background. It is a bit annoying with how it's an infinite loop, but better than most of its time. I hope your birthday is as sweet as this animation. That song simply never gets old on this website. Wait, I did manage to figure out what's going on and it's not a loop, you just went from a 7 to an 8!

[psychedelic anti-drug PSA]

Anti-drug?

I guess this was supposed to be ironic, but I really didn't enjoy it at all. It just seemed to be unsatisfying with how it was just you talking with this weird effect. If it's anti-drug, it doesn't work, because it doesn't make me want to listen to. If it's a parody, it just seems too lazy. You should also try to put a "Play" button on it. Of course, I would be one to tell you how, because I don't know how to do that or really anything else.

The only thing that was cool was that it was pretty creative. Creative effects, however, do not always make something good. I hope this could be used as a way to see how you could improve yourself. Your voice is also a tad annoying, although I guess it was just supposed to be silly or weird, which worked. It also goes on forever.

SamuraiClinton responds:

If there was some software to use other than SUPER(C) where I could just prop a preloader on, I wouldn't have this issue of not having a way to put on a preloader.

[Press Start: Poker, Mon]

Here it is!

It's stuff like this that makes you realize how long this series has been going on. I was afraid it wasn't going to be a "Pokemon" parody at first, but it was. Gee, I haven't heard of the pokemon TCG in the longest time. I think, in terms of popularity, it got an even bigger shaft than the anime. Anyway, it's great to look back to see how much of the mythology has progressed over the series. You're really getting introduced more to the characters.

I had never even seen Johnson before he turned into a turtle! The quality of animation certainly got up the longer it went on. It's great you have managed to make not one, but TWO live-action movies out of this. Wow, you made this joke long before the Nostalgia Critic did. It even manages to make it relevant to the theme!

[mario vs. bad guys]

That was a bit good

This worked on some levels mostly because of how good the graphics are. It seems like you were really trying to incorporate a lot of the spritework of various games on this. In case anyone's wondering, the 1up Mushroom is when Mario falls on Kamek. It wasn't even that good of an Easter Egg. I suggest that you work at putting more detail on the backgrounds. The best part was when Mario fought Yoshi.

I was seriously not expecting something that epic in this cartoon. I liked how there was also some drawn stuff like the sound effect words. You should have made it so that you could go back to where the Easter egg left off. It just shows that Mario cartoons will simply never get off this website! Congrats on the very high rating.

[mario pres]

Not the worst

This had some good features in that the use of graphics was actually really good. The best part is probably how there's such a wide variety of enemies. It seems like this would have worked out a lot better if it was an actual game. There isn't even that much that happens. It's just Mario getting attacked by these guys and he dies. You could have also tried to put in a wider variety of background and have him move into other areas.

At least the sounds and voice work were authentic. I am not sure if pressing "Star" was a typo or if it was part of the joke. The biggest thing to improve on is to have it be longer with more things going on. It also seems to be a bit too big, there's not much reason for there to be such a wide screen. At least it's faithful to my all-time favorite video game!

[Second Chance]

Could have been better

Congradulations on getting the cartoon used for Robot Day 2011 (the new one at least)! This probably had the best animation of anything I've watched today. The downside was that it really seems like it led to an anti-climax. It just seemed like it was getting so good with putting an emotional side to it. At least the main robot managed to achieve his goal. The lack of dialogue also put a really good artistic tone to this, even if it wasn't that well done.

The coolest part was probably when everything was getting blown up! I didn't understand it, but it was awesome! It makes me wish there had been more of a climax with a big battle. Still, this seems to have the highest score for anything on Robot Day and I think it will win Daily Feature! And who says robots can't feel emotion?

hrechkaness responds:

Thank You for the honest review! I would have liked to expand more on the story but I ran out of time if I wanted to get this in for Robot Day. With that said, I am so thankful that this is being so well received. I may expand on this in the future or maybe make pt.2 for next years Robot Day :D Cheers!

[Blue Nova 067]

Robot Day has begun!

It's great to really get into the robot feel with the best robot submission I have reviewed so far. The thing that was the most disturbing was the girl's breasts. Seriously, they just looked off model in this. Anyway, what's great is that this is a great robot fight as anyone else would intend. It's the same kind of thing you would expect from any other popular artist on Newgrounds. It kind of reminded me of the animation by Egoraptor.

I have come to recognize and adore your style. You really place emphasis on the way the characters move around with their colors and lines. I can tell that the music used for this was derived from the Mega Man games. You can never go wrong with that style. Congradulations on front page and keeping your awesome work up!
