Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Paper Mario Madness]

Very creative

I never played any of the Paper Mario games, or even saw someone else do it, now that I think about it. This is still great and should be respected by every Mario fan. This didn't have that much blood, which is what I expect in a Madness flash. It's still nice to see Mario fight these different enemies in such a unique way. It seems like you really went out of your way to do the game justice. It's amazing how much depth these depictions have, even though they are literally paper thin.

It was great to see this unique world on its own. My favorite part would probably be the bit with the chomp. Those are some of the most annoying and hard to get rid of things in the games, you know. You had no idea what was coming next, like that dark purple shadow Mario. Hammers simply always make great weapons.

[[MD2011] The Magician]

That was very funny

It's amazing how far you can go with such a gaggy premise in a Madness Combat flash. What really made this was how excellent the animation was. It was interesting to see how these characters moved their eyes around so well. The strangest thing is that they didn't even have eyes! You really knew where to put emphasis on their faces to, well, make it seem like they had faces. It's probably the most gory depiction of a beheading in a Madness cartoon.

It was also great to see changes in the animation like when the magician was about to throw his knives in the box. The zombies especially had really great lips, even though, once again, they didn't technically have lips. Everything just moves so wonderfully vibrant in this cartoon. The music is also completely fantastic.

Congradulations!

Of all the Madness stuff submitted on this day, I do in fact find this to be the best. You completely deserve your Daily Feature because the animation here is fantastic. You are usually known for stuff with stick figures. I guess these are kind of stick figures that you are working with. The animation is the best and most flawless I have seen for any submission today too. There are just so many things going on and it's so relentless in its delivery.

The best parts are probably when the guys' heads are being sliced up. It's great how each bit of severed flesh flies around so well. The slow motion is fantastic, especially with the grenade being thrown. The artwork shows that the characters themselves have so much depth to them, in every sense of the word. Fast paced of course, but that's what you love in a Madness Combat submission. Happy Madness Day 2011!

[Incident:010A]

Oops

It's so funny how acknowledge the fact that it isn't supposed to be canon in its description. What I found funny about this was how the guy actually died at the end. It's nice that one guy caught a break and managed to get a nice smoke in. It was interesting for the title to be used as a reference to the previous non-canon submission for Madness Day. Congrats on your Daily 2nd Place on your own day! The animation is as spectacular as ever.

Another cool thing is that the giant guy actually manages to get some hits on himself. You would think that the sword in the head would be enough to finish him off. It's mostly typical, but you're great with this. I really had no idea where you were going with the guy he was holding as hostage. I think the body count was about 22.

[Madness Heist]

Wow

It's amazing that you created so many specialized songs for this. This was truly a different kind of Madness movie because you tried to have a more serious tone to it. I guess ultra-violence is pretty serious by itself. This is something that I imagine would appear in a movie like "The Town" or even "The Godfather". It is rather strange to watch such a detailed story for a series about random killings. It is still masterfully done.

It was great you managed to get such an awesome cast of voice actors for this. It was also great how each character had a unique design and personality. It's a bit hard to keep track off, but it pays off in the end. The action, while great, still does a great job of keeping its characters in light. It's probably the biggest variety of voices and happy Madness Day 2011!

[Xionic Madness 4 Part-2]

Flawless as usual

It is simply great that we get to witness so many fantastic minds coming together to make something as good as this. In case anyone's wondering, the running time of this is about 12 minutes. I bet if you had submitted this on Madness Day, it would have won Daily Feature! It's too bad the previous installment had a mess with the reviews. Who knew the single girl was the evil one? I have to admit she isn't that bad looking.

It was great to see so much amazing design put into all the characters. Not just the main characters, but every single one out there. There are just so many great lines and coloring effects imposed onto every single enemy and ally. I'm a little confused at what happened at the end, but the next installment shall make it clear. I am so glad this series keeps going on. The weapons and attacks are incredibly unique as well.

[Goku ssj5]

Could be worse

I think it's interesting how so many people agree on something that is certainly not canon. If there ever was a Super Saiyan transformation beyond 4, it would probably look like this. For the record, SS5 is a fan-made thing made for a fake series, Dragonball AF. My only problem is that you shouldn't really have tests for things here. People expect flashes to be more fully made. It does seem like this has potential for something a lot better.

The voices seem to be in pretty good alignment, even if it's not that good of a voice. Infinite loops are something you might also want to avoid. Are you planning on making something bigger with this? It would be better if you described exactly what you were trying to do. What kind of enemies would there be?

[Tales of the macabre]

How strange

I have to say that this was pretty interesting. It's hard to say if I would classify this as a comedy or parody because it doesn't have a consistent theme. It really messes around with what it is. It was cool to have an interactive movie that isn't that hard. It reminds me of some guy (forgot how) that said most video games are just interactive movies anyway with all the cutscenes. It was really cute how they were depicted on little sticks.

The funniest part was when the animals were playing the video games and they swore at her. Click on the branch in the upper right hand corner to make it fall and kill the animals. It's interesting how everything has a fair amount of depth in it. Was the secret mini game the one with the floating heads you shoot? That was pretty entertaining.

NightDead responds:

the fun of you, the viewers, is my goal.

Thanks for watching the movie and have a nice day :)

[CLOCKY 08]

Happy Clock Day, I guess

This submission didn't do much for me because there is just so little that is going on. It is just the same image of StrawberryClock flying around. Probably the only interesting part is how the frames also go out of whack as he flies around. The music was a little bit interesting. It's hard to say if it fits the submission, because so little happens in the submission. I appreciate the fact that people make Clock themed submissions for Clock Day, but they should be more detailed.

I guess it does contribute to the idea that the Clock Crew was founded on low quality flashes. Of course, there is always room for improvement. You could have made the image resolution better because it's not good to have the picture be that big. It becomes noticeable after you watch it so many times. Hey, the song stops after awhile!

[Falcon Date!]

Yes!

I appreciated how well this was animated. Captain Falcon is just a really good character to use for any kind of comedic effect. What I also noticed is that the girl in this looked a lot like Samus Aran in regular clothes. I guess I have just been so attracted to that hottie I always see her when there are animated blonde girls. It was really funny how the tone and nature change was so quick. The voices were very well done in this.

It's great that people like you can get different voices (and one isn't even your own!) to make something that isn't that long. I like the notion of him being called "Captain". It would be rather odd to have a first name like that. I doubt there's going to be a second date. Of course, if I got that far, I'd probably go pretty crazy too.
