Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Captain Planet Rampage]

I wish the Planeteers were here

I heard they were actually thinking of bringing back that show to combat global warming or something. Anyway, this was really funny because of how stupid Captain Planet is. I thought you were going to say something about him killing everyone in the world, but that would happen anyway with the Earth's atomsphere being destroyed. He should have just eaten them! He said birds were the only thing that kept him from doing it in the first place! I love how insanely strong Captain Planet is.

He seems to be Dragonball Zesque with how many cities and stuff he destroys. I also loved the joke about eating plastic for some reason. The animation is great as always and stresses how pathetic Captain Planet looks. I see you have changed your name to The (Sexual-Lobster) for some reason. Well, it adds to the abstractness of your submissions!

Sexual-Lobster responds:

i saw some concept art for the updated show, it was even more mulletitious.

[Luminiscense]

Brilliant!

Woah, Chris is getting really good at voices as I could not recognize him at all in this! It was great how everyone had a distinct and relevant role. I would have liked it if it had simply stopped with the two people looking over the field. It was a great twist to place it in World War II and have the bombs suddenly go. I was disappointed that this was not longer as I felt really anticipated for more emotion and action. The illustrations in this are fantastic.

World War II is always a good thing to use when using a war. It cost more lives than any other war and is probably the most famous war ever. I loved the shading too, especially how the colors blended so well. You guys made this effective by not having sound at first when the bombs came down. I am looking very forward to the upcoming parts.

[Super-Duper Friends]

Superfriends!

It's weird to realize that Barrack Obama was talked about even back then! Well, I probably did know and recognize him at that point. This was a really cool idea but it could have been executed better by having more of a story or by making it longer. As this is basically a promo for your website, I can not blame you for that. The animation in this was actually really good. It seemed similar to some of the stuff that has been used by Appsro.

I always thought of Dick Cheney as being the only one who was actively sinister. Karl Rove could also qualify. It was also good to see the fights being appropriate, with Al Gore helping out with the environment. It could have used a play button at the beginning, but for some reason it is not an infinite loop for me. It seems like a followup should be made for this new presidency.

[Is funnier word?]

Please speak up

This was not good because I could simply not understand what anybody was trying to say. I guess it was nice to hear that music at the end but overall it was quite unsatisfying. You should have also put a background in. You can change the volume of the microphone on the computer. It is too bad you won Turd Of The Week award, but you can take this as learning a lesson. I can see something like this happening in real life, not that I could understand it.

The lips synch up well, but it is hard to understand what is being said, again. I guess it probably would have been funnier if I could understand it. It was quite random to just freeze the characters at the end and play a song. Your next submission should probably be longer. You might also want to work with grammar on your title.

[Gooture]

Best in the series!

This was an awesome cartoon and I am very surprised that it does not have a higher rating. I really hope this wins Daily Feature or something higher. I guess ZekeySpaceyLizard is only going to collaborate with TheWeebl from now on? I was thinking this would be a more recent movie, but it was still great. The animation is absolutely fantastic and I loved the sheer number of funny background events that were going on. I noticed there was JCPinny's that had a sign about hamsters in the morning there (It originally said, "Twin Pines Mall").

It seems like the full title should have been, "Back To The Gooture" as listed here. I loved seeing the figures in the background, like Genghis Khan, Abraham Lincoln, a penguin, etc. The funniest part was the comment at the end about the toilets. Now that I think about it, cars probably have been around longer than shopping carts. Two of my favorite contributors can simply not go wrong!

[Disgaea: Episode 4]

Fantastic!

While I have never played the "Disgaea" games, this was fantastic to watch. I love this because the characters are absolutely wonderful and all so precious! It's easily the best because everyone has a voice that fits his or her personality perfectly! I could recognize Kagome as being Rina-chan/Kira Buckland. The coolest part was probably the little pig coming forward and defending his father. It was great to see some action when the art shifted into pixellation.

For something about demons, this is just downright adorable. All the characters have wonderfully likeable personalities and it's great to see them play off each other. This series itself is a great underappreciated piece on Newgrounds. I love how silly the Prinnys sound. It is great to see the character's facial expressions change too.

[Chrono Trigger Unglued 15]

Tried everything

This was based on an RPG (I think) so it would only fit that it would be an interactive movie. It seems like about time this happened in the series. I am so glad I managed to watch one of these right after another. Granted, I was not able to advance beyond trying everything I could, but it was a fun trip. I am not sure why the guy had to call out that trampoline, but whatever. The funniest part was when the two guards were arguing over who should get the playing cards.

That scene was also funny with the wounded guy there. I did find it strange he was not bleeding, so of course he was not dead. It was cool to see some action with Chrono using the flaming sword, even if it did not defeat the dragon. I guess I am now glad "Flee" was not the final option as it would have made the scene a bit pointless. The dragon tank is very well designed, too.

Clovis15 responds:

If you weren't able to see the entire movie, the option to fight the Dragon-Tank works after you've first tried all the other options. As Crono says when you select it earlier on, "This should be a last resort." I'm sorry if you found yourself stumped by the interactive scene and unable to proceed onwards, this episode actually contains a 1 minute fully animated fight sequence once fight is selected after first doing all the other options first (and I know more action is something you've often asked for in your reviews of other episodes).

As for why the Chancellor asks for a Trampoline, in the original game he would jump straight up and down a ridiculous height when he was angry. It didn't really seem practical he could just jump like that, unless he had a trampoline underneath him. So, when he fails to jump up and down dramatically at the beginning of his speech, his has the guards bring him a trampoline so he can complete his dramatic effect.

[Chrono Trigger Unglued 14]

The plot thickens

As I am more familiar with this series, I can learn to understand the plot a lot better. The best thing about this was that the dialogue was pretty funny. I am now starting to understand that there is only dialogue with audio when it rhymes for some reason. It was also neat to throw in that cool music at the beginning and end of course. I did think it was really weird with Lucca's dad. I did not find it that humorous, but the good certainly outweighs the bad here.

I had a teacher who used to reference that "Wahoo" song all the time when I was in class. As always, Gaspar is great for giving us a recap on what happened. Another cool thing was Lucca shooting the guards with her gun. I know that most of the time if something is not pixellated, it is going to be of note. Her gun actually did become pixellated later.

[SMB: Christmas Greeting]

Shut up before I stab you!

I have seen some other Mario Christmas flashes here, and I could not help but think this was part of some contest. I guess it's just easy to depict a character like him dancing. This was only one joke, but the one joke was absolutely fantastic. The voice work was great as well, and I can tell that Deven Mack has always been here. You don't really see the winter theme in Mario on a positive level. Then again, this was not that pleasant to end up with.

The sprites were wonderfully done and the mouths sync together just perfectly. I love how smoothly Luigi moves across the ice. I guess it could have been a little longer, but you guys were not aiming for that. I hope you had a Merry Christmas now and forever! BTW, when I say that, should the "Merry" be capitalized?
