Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fire Flower Folly]

Short?

Dude, that was in no way a short because it was at least two minutes long and had tons of variations! In case anyone's wondering, there's a total of 20 different parts. The saddest part was when it ended. Of all the submissions that feature the Mario characters doing stuff like this, I think this was my favorite. The sprite work was just so wonderfully done! Everything had a perfect sense of fluidiness in the animation. You had no idea what would happen next.

I think my favorite would probably be the one where the alien bursts out of his chest. I am so glad it kept going on with more ridiculous things. You also really know how to go out with a bang. There was puking, gender transforming, farting, an army of koopas and every other crazy thing you could think of! It took real creativity and maybe some drugs to come up with this. It's also great how everything moves so fast.

Sunrie responds:

Thanks for the great long and detailed review!

Really glad you liked the variety put into it and felt it transitioned smoothly into each skit.

I love the chest burster and the leprechaun ones the most myself :)

[Resistance Is Futile]

Congradulations!

I imagined that the Clock Day submissions would all be really high, as I thought that was the day everyone got 5's. Still, I have to congradulate you on having the highest rated flash for Clock Day 2011. The animation could be better, but everything else is great. I espeically liked seeing the frowny faces getting whipped. This seems like something from the movie "The Ten Commandments". It just seems like I would know as it's one of my favorite movies.

The Clocks featured in this have fairly unique designs and are not the kind of ones you normally see in flashes. It's great that you give everyone a chance. The animation was probably at its best when it showed the giant cubes in space. It works well as a music video because the song is so nice. You made me want to go and listen to "Whip It" which I am currently doing!

CorpseGrinderClock responds:

Whip it is an amazing song

[Gleaming Hard]

Nice gold chains

I didn't really see how this was that much of a parody as it seemed to have so little going on. Stuff like this can be funny on its own, but it doesn't really belong on a website like this. It's still really cool to watch Mr. T throw his head everywhere. The way he actually changes his head's direction with his arms is pretty cool. The music doesn't seem too loud for me to even keep up with. I guess it was supposed to be ironic.

I suggest you putting more effort in your work like having some actual flash in it. Short things like this don't work that well, especially when they exist in an infinite loop. I have followed most of Mr. T's rules so I don't think this will make me think lesser or more of him. Yeah, the song is basically about poverty. We can help prevent it.

i no rite

[The Noob Adventures Episode 2]

Getting better

Again, for something labeled as a parody, this didn't seem to have that many laughs in it. Don't get me wrong, the CSI jokes were awesome. Trust me, that will never get old. The coolest thing about it was probably how you do focus on having on ongoing story. The fight scenes with the monsters were really cool. It seems like I'm seeing Minecraft flashes everywhere I go on this website. It's amazing how much depth you can put in when you only use blocks for color.

The voices are wonderful too. This seems like what people would sounds like in a scenario such as this. It's amazing how resourceful you can be when you just have a bow and arrows. The monsters are fairly, pardon the pun, three dimensional in this. I am interested in seeing how far this goes and where our heroes venture.

Falconer02 responds:

Thanks! Nice review too! This is my first stab at a series so I'm glad people are liking it so far.

[This Town Episode 3]

Not bad

As this is the first episode I have seen, it is a tad bit hard to judge, but I will do the best job I can. I thought this wasn't bad, mostly because of how good the animation was. It was great to see so many different shades of blue. It was a bit hard to follow in terms of story. I also did not like the part with the giant robot guy where it looked like it was building up to a fight scene, but it wasn't. Then again, the bit with the bills that followed it was kind of funny.

I am proud to be your first reviewer, as I am for several flashes given my prolificness. It was also cool to see such a wide variety of characters. They just had so much detail in them and there was good emotion put into their voices. You do need to work on having more of a story to suck the watcher in. These guys must have come from Pandora.

rbinturong responds:

Thanks for the review. I'm afraid you landed right smack in the middle of plot continuation from the previous two episodes. If I were a new watcher, I'd find this episode particularly hard to follow as well. The trouble with our toons is that the storyline depends heavily on previous episodes, so if you haven't watched them you'll be a bit lost.
If you like fight scenes, maybe you should check out the first episode (not the 2009 one).
I assure you, This Town isn't located on Pandora. We're missing the tails anyway. Hehe. Thanks for the useful review (don't know who voted it otherwise)

[[KK] heartbreaks]

Too bad

It looks like you didn't make a good tribute to your girlfriend. Then again, maybe by not making it good you mocked your former girlfriend. I wish I knew which of the many actors crediting for this is the one who lost the girlfriend. At least there were not as many credited people as other Kitty Krew flashes. You guys could use a lot of work with design, especially with putting a background in. There was barely any color in this too.

You should have put in a lot more detail in it and it moves too slowly. Try to make it so that the text moves across faster. The music wasn't half bad, but it goes on too long. It's weird how you are even able to get that low in image resolution and still manage to make something out. Actual movement with the characters' bodies would have made this a lot better, too.

NE SHUT TH FUCK UP U DONT NO N E THING ABOUT FLASH

[The Ness Collab]

He does beat everything!

This was really cool because the title did the cartoon so much justice! The most awesome thing about this was probably how easily he beat everyone. I am not that familiar with the "Earthbound" series, but this kid is awesome! I think the best battle was probably the one with Zero. The Hamtaro battle was also awesome and it's great to see Short-Factor assembling all these people. While it seemed mostly incomprehensible at first, it did develop a story as it went on.

The music and sounds were sweet as well. I can not even believe that the Caramelldansen meme has been around that long. This kid is just awesome and even though I know nothing about him, it's so great to watch him fight. Seeing so many different styles of animation is always interesting. Even the credits are pretty cool.

Short-Factor responds:

You are like some kind of crazy review happy juggernaut. Surprisingly, after reviewing all of my audio work, you review this years later. Well alright thanks its a good review, as yours are.
Do not relate the song to the meme. I just used it because I thought it was a hilariously strange fit.
