Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pickilow the Plop 4-6]

Twas okay

It is nice that you got something with a really good rating even if it was not that popular. I really liked it how it was easy to transition from scene to scene from the simple "Next" button. I am having mixed emotions about the animation. It's hard to say they are bad, because a lot of the times it's so cheesy you can not help but think it was intentional. Some of the designs of the dots are actually fairly good. Another good thing was the random death of the mushroom guy.

There were just not too many things that were elaborate. I felt like the jokes could have used some work, but it was random of course. It was nice to put all of these in one collection and not just seperate submissions. In case people do not realize this, you have to watch every episode to move onto the next one. There were few things really particularly great or terrible about this.

;D thanks for the review

[Hunted...]

Lots of potential

The best part of this was the animation. I felt it was funny how there was such splendid animation regarding the title and the transition effects but the other parts were fairly bland. I suggest you try to throw in some more music and more jokes. It seems like this ended quite quickily and there was not a "To Be Continued" or anything. At least you had some funny jokes like the random "Banana Phone" joke. Geez, how long has it been since I heard that meme referenced?

I also liked the little easter egg with the tiny words. For those of you wondering, it says, "If you can read this, you're too close to the screen". I do not think I am so much close to the screen as I am just a guy who likes at those things. The monser itself had a pretty good design. Try to work a little more on jokes and have more of an ending, but congrats on getting so many voices.

Thanks for the review! It's really useful

The script had actually another ending, but it was 2 months past halloween already, so I made it an open end.
I noticed myself too that there wasn't too much music, I worked on that in the next animation I'm doing now called 'The Mine'.

Thanks again for the review! :D

[TheShadling Valentine]

It's realistic

I don't think a gorilla would probably eat a person like that (I think they're herbivores) but it is fairly realistic. I mean, if you seriously went up to a gorilla like that, do you think it would end well? It's great to have an actor credited who only has a single yell. The music was quite fitting or should I say "unfitting". It was nice to see a Valentine's Day cartoon right before the day came. I hope you have a happy Valentine's Day as well! Please do not try to give a valentine to a gorilla.

The least part about this was that it was way too short. I understand that there can still be good short flashes but it seems like there could have been more a joke. It is still pretty funny to see that girl as she gets torn apart by that gorilla. The animation is still good. Your artwork kind of reminds me of the stuff ZekeySpaceyLizard did independently.

[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.
