Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dawning of Darkness 5 (P1]

Randy-Solem?

It's submissions like these that make me miss the work of Randy Solem, as he's been gone for a long time now. This was great because it had the perfect amount of action in it. The designs for the transformations were fantastic, particularly with Sonic in that gray spiked hair form. I also like the idea of Shadow having a "son". I have yet to see the other entries in this series, but if they are as good as this one, they will be great! It was also cool to use that underrated song from Nickelback, "It's Not Over".

shadefalcon responds:

Thanks for all the kind words, but the song you referred to at the end, is by Daughtry.

Thanks for the 10.

[The True Meaning Of B]

Not just that!

You managed to become one of the highest rating flashes on the entire website! I guess on Clock Day that might not mean much, but it's certainly a heck of a lot better than I did. There were a lot of things wrong with this, especially with how it was drawn. You probably should have just typed it out like StrawberryClock did in his classic "B". It just looks not as clean as when you draw it by hand. I would suggest that next time you look to put in some sound or music to increase the chance of it being passed.

TurtleKirby101 responds:

Wow, it got into the top 50? :o

Yeah, it wasn't really very neat.

Sound and music... Well, the thing is... I don't have flash. I had to send it to Basset to make the pic into flash. I don't know if he knows how to put music in flash. If he does we could update it.

Thanks! And good luck with your own projects!

[Dance of the Manwhore]

Your take on Weebl!

It seems like a lot of people make infinite loop music videos like this. This one really works because it is just so random and the animation is so well done. It's also great to hear such funny lines like, "My father never loved me" and have him get all sad. You guys are really good at pumping out random funny stuff, kind of like Monty Python. Anything that begins with mentioning a brontosaurus is going to be good! I also loved to see the return of Raptor Jesus (even if you could not see all of him).

Sexual-Lobster responds:

thanks ericho,
i'd like to keep raptor jesus going but he's a pretty detailed character with the robes and the teeth and all so making him do anything takes ages.

[Waves of Change]

Great!

It is wonderful that people like you are raising awareness of things like this. I could not understand it that well, as it seems that he wanted more water when there was already too much. Of course, I really have to appreciate this for the great animation. Another big plus was that it was great you created something with really good intentions. I hope these people get the help and service that they need. A good place to start would be to give donation to money you make on ads with this.

Zeebra responds:

Well to explain it better this company teaches these kids how to surf which ween's them off the glue and that allows them to be integrated back into society.
Thats a good idea to raise money, if i can open a pay pal account i will try it out. Thanks for your feed back and support.

[A Fable II Experience 2]

I had no idea it was an actual game

This was tons of fun to watch and it kind of reminded me of the "Larry" series by JAZZA. This was great because it was called a "short" so I thought it was just going to be that joke in the beginning. It is always great to see a person put more effort into something. I especially like how the deadpan hero talks so much and defeats every problem easily. People should make more cartoons where the hero simply shoots the villian like that. The animation was good and I found it to be funnier than the first one.

WhiteLightning responds:

Goal reached, I can die peacefully now :)

[Oney's Birffday Bash]

Happy birffday!

The first thing with "Leo & Satan" was great because it looks like you guys borrowed the exact sprites from him! It was so great to see a flash celebrating someone's birthday the day it came out. You (Oney) are one of the most loved people on this website, so this only fits. I liked the game at the middle where you keep having to put penises in your mouth. It seems like people should be making more tributes/parodies of "Leo & Satan" given how good and popular it is. I also liked the one where his brain exploded.

psychicpebbles responds:

haha thanks :D

[ZF Request: Ruby's Fight]

Good start

This was pretty good because you did deliver exactly what you said you would in the author's comments. However, this main fault was that it was too short to enjoy thoroughly. It does really seem like something that would be in the "Five Swords Adventures" series but not that much. The fact this character is called either Red or Ruby keeps reminding me of the pokemon games. This is a nice action scene and it should be in your cartoons. I also like how you guys also keep that classic Zelda music.

peltos responds:

i thought exactly the same thing. it does sound like a pokemon game XD
and thx for the comment

[Zelda Files:Hidden Files1]

Quite good

I liked this because it has some of the best animation you guys have worked on so far. The funniest part was definitley when Navi slept with Link and she made that squeaky little voice trying to get Link to come back for her. I like the use of voices, although the text on the bottom works fine too. I imagine Link would have gotten around some with all those girls he hangs out with. You also seemed to make Link appear in character pretty well. I am not sure if this is going to be an ongoing story or not.

peltos responds:

this one and the next 2 hidden files have no meaning or a continued story.
these are just some animations we want to make because its almost 2011
