Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Box Lunch]

Destructobox!

As a short, I think this kind of was one of your lesser entries. It was still fun to watch simply because the graphics are so good with everything being shaped like a box but still having depth to it. I especially like how you put a live-action scene in it for the grilled cheese sandwich. That guy's joke at the beginning about the d*ck turning into a vagina was funny. I am kind of glad you did not just stop there with that single joke. It was an interesting twist ending, as you generally do not see those in shorts.

DestructoBox responds:

Thanks for the review! This was our first short when we switched to the new graphics/animation format. I definitely feel we've worked out some (not all) of the kinks since then. We're definitely trying to improve as we go ;)

[Casual Battle]

Fairly decent

I obviously see a ton of stick flashes, so it was a bit hard to find anything that unique. I will say that the best part of it was probably how it started after it seemed to end. The animation looked a little amateur, but it was still not bad. I especially like the purple gas that emits from the guy. The choice of music was also fine and I did kind of like the transitions when it started again. Not much else to say about this, but it does seem as though you are off to a fine start here in Flash.

CUCCOOLEGEND responds:

Thanks for the review, if I ever do another stick flash I'll probably try my hand at the classic "100 v.s. 1" fight. Thanks again.

[LL - The Cookie Jar]

The best of Lock Day!

It is a pity how the entire front page does have not Lock Day featured things like on Clock Day or Pico Day. Congrats on winning Daily Feature as well as Review Crew Pick! I love how this just does nothing but make fun of itself over and over. I admit that it is cool to have those guys as cameos, as they are easy to credit in every appearance. It almost seems like a collab with how organized it is with the scene control and everything. As a fan of some Sony and mostly Nintendo, I still enjoy the pointless references!

MasterLock responds:

Thank you, good sir!

[This is UNMEI]

Those pills

This is the best flash that you have ever submitted and a masterpiece in its own right. I think this is beter than some of your sillier flashes, even though this was still pretty silly by normal standards. In case anybody is wondering, the newspaper says, "Last night, the leading doctors...something". There are just so many crazy images going in the animation. The pills themselves look great superimposed as a monster or coming out of a bigger pill or whatever. It also is flawless as a music video.

Skaijo responds:

Thanks for spending the time to say this on my older, much lesser known about projects. I loved making this one especially and it's a nice thing to come back to and watch myself to psyche myself up for the day. I appreciate the love!

[The FLF Collab]

It appears to be so unrelated

When it starts off, it seems like it is not about anything related at all, as it is quite random. I should have known that this would introduce me to an entirely new song and band. There was just so much great stuff it was hard to keep up with it all. I loved the rocket that was firing down, when the guy's arms were wiggling, etc. Users like YoinK and doomshock have contributed to this site so much it is great they are all working on something so good. It was also funny to see Pac-Man shift through arts, too.

doomshock responds:

THANKSSSSSS< I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Turing Test]

Surprisingly great!

I was not interested by this much as it was just a guy communicating with a robot in a rather mundane way (especially for a robot). It definitley got better as it went on and it helps that the animation is so good. The tone is really creepy and sets the atmosphere well. This reminds me of a Creepypasta, but turned into a flash cartoon. It ends so well, you simply have no idea what is going on and probably never will. A really mysterious factor is a great way to make something scary and few flashes here do scare me.

Jimtopia responds:

It's cool to know I made a flash that actually freaks people out. Thanks for the review.

[Vinnie The Chik Costello]

Recommendable

It has been the longest time since I watched something submitted by flashcartoons.org. Anyway, I thought the best point of this was the voice work. I sincerely thought that you were just using stock sounds from some old cartoon in the beginning! It reminded me a lot of "Looney Tunes" and classic stuff like that. I was kind of disappointed that there was not a lot of real slapstick involved. I still enjoyed this because Vinnie is such a great character as he sets his personality so clearly.

lavallelee responds:

I was hesitant to upload this to NG, most of the users here like perverted stuff which I stopped making. I try to animate for family audiences with clean humor. A good example is the past few winners, cock jokes, boobs, overall rude humor which is made for preteens who laugh at it. I wont go back to that, I've grown up. My overall goal is to animate like they did in the past, all traditional, that is my dream. Thanks for the comment.

[Sombre.]

It's great to be back!

While I have not heard of you before, at least it is nice to hear Gagsy in this. I love this because it is so awesome in its surrealness and it relishes in its surrealness. The only way I could tell a person was a woman was because of the breasts. It was weird how everything in the cartoon just seem to bounce everywhere, including the breasts. The animation is gorgeous and I love the overall dark theme. It is a perfect way to understand the morbidness of the world and the human mind.

Mechabloby responds:

well i'm glad you enjoyed it. thanks for the review :]

[HALOMEN2]

A great combo

It is hard to combine "Half-Life", "Halo", "Portal", and "TANKMEN" all in one cartoon and it was not even a collab! I love how just each of these guys has their own distinct personality. You have really managed to put a story together that has a lot of laughs and great animation in only two entries. I love how every monster species has such unique designs. Every second of this, there is something going on whether it is a joke or a great action scene. I love the music that you used at the end as it is truly epic music.

thanks man!
