Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[C. Crashing Corn Boss]

Pretty good

I was hoping this was going to be a game and to be honest, I probably would have preferred it if it was. This was still definitley a decent flash cartoon because the animation was good. It must have been awhile since I played any of the games because I was confused as to what was going on. Well, randomness can be really great especially when it gives you popcorn. My favorite part was probably when the chicken landed on the corncob at the end. It seems like we should have more orange characters, as that's my favorite color.

I would make a simple CC flash game if I knew anything about Actionscript, but I don't, and learning enough to make a game would take a while, so I'll focus on animations for now.

[Hallow Statistic]

Very impressive

Boy, were there a lot of voice outtakes. Anyway, it was great to see where the A.E. series started, even though I am fairly certain this is in fact not the first chapter in the series. The other series featuring these guys was a lot lighter and goofier. It was interesting to see how these characters adjusted into a really dark environment. The animation is as great as ever, especially the fight scenes. You have put real emotion and personality into each of the character's voices and actions.

[Gaara's Jar of Dirt]

First animation?!

Dude, that is very impressive for a first cartoon! This has just got to be one of the most adorable Naruto flashes I have ever seen! I would not want to compare you to other music Naruto guys as you clearly good in your own right. The audio is synched up perfectly and darn it if Gaara holding up the jar of dirt isn't the funniest thing you've ever seen. I especially love Kankuro and Temari's confused expressions. Chibi Gaara is just so hilarious and it helps that this song is great by itself too.

[#15 Beedrill]

Now that's awesome!

It still seems as though you could have shown more of a battle, but this was still one sweet cartoon to watch. I can easily see why Tyrant-D favorited it as it appears to be a big influence on his work. It really shows off the idea of pokemon battling in the coolest way possible. I think you are really trying to add to the epicness of the battle and were influenced by stuff like "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann". The sound itself is funny. The way the Beedrill moves with his powers is so amazingly slick.

[Pursuit of the Falcon]

Who needs the movie?

Dude, I don't even need to have "The Empire Strikes Back"! I can simply watch it being recreated in such gorgeous flash animation as this. Everything looked so similar to stuff by LegendaryFrog, so I was surprised to realize he had nothing to do with it. While I have not seen the movie in awhile, I am fairly sure this is a word-for-word recreation of the scene. It is not actiony or silly, it's just exactly what the movie was! The animation was great with its characters, especially Chewbacca's detail.

[Super bird]

Not terrible

This was very mediocre, in that it seemed to have equally good and bad things about it. The bad parts were that there was so little that happened and it needed more of a story/punchline. The good parts are that the animation is actually really good. I was expecting something dumb when I saw this, but was actually a little surprised. Next time, you should work on making it longer with more going on. I will say that it seems as though you got the animation part down just where you need it.

I also felt, when i finished and looked at the thing as a whole, that everything went far too quick and nothing really interesting hapenned, but i didn't feel like going back and revising everything.
Next time, the plot will be given more thought and be written down before i start animating!
Thank you for the input :)

[Drunk Ass Elf]

Hard to understand

It was great to see this animation, just as I was thinking about the Christmas season. It was also fun to really see how everything has depth. I am thinking this was trying to make a pun or something with the title "Drunk Ass Elf", but I'm not sure. This did not do that much for me and I think it is probably the worst thing you have submitted. At least you managed to get through an experiment well. I appreciate you wishing all of us a Merry Christmas and showing a little humor in the yuletide.

[Jesus is cool]

Why?

There are simply so many anti-religous people out there (especially on the Internet). I would have liked to at least see something that admired religion. Even if it turned out to be really bad, then at least you had the heart to do something good, or maybe you did not. I am a religious person myself and I happen to also believe that Jesus is cool. I am glad there are other people like me out there even if those people can not express themselves very well. I hope you at least live a hopeful life.

[HappyStep]

Fairly imaginative

The best thing about this is that it just has a very casual feeling to it. It is fun just to see this guy skip along for awhile and it seems as though he might represent a stereotypical ghetto guy, but at least he acts normal. It is interesting to watch how he goes out of his mundane life. Probably the best thing about this was when he went through the candy mountains, or hills, or whatever they are. The music was of course quite suiting. I also like the drawing shown at the "Play" button and how it contrasts with the flash's simpler animation.

Wow thanks for the detailed review. :)
