Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[GameCRAZY Intro]

What's the deal?

Why is everyone doing nothing but moaning about how there is no preloader? Sure, I would have liked it if there was more action, but what matters is that there was a lot of heart put into this. It was cool to see all of those characters with all those different styles in the same place even if they did not do much. This must hold some record for biggest difference between review score and voting score. It's 4.31 (or at least not anymore since I will give this a decent rating)! This was nicely done and it definitley has potential for a story.

See you Summer 2011

[Alphie's Story pt 2]

It is good

I am glad to see this series again and especially you are going back to your action roots. My biggest complaint is that the animation does still look pretty old by today's standards. I still think this was very enjoyable, especially the beginning fight with the robot. I especially like when he was defeated by literally ripping its face apart and smashing it up. The little red orb is also a pretty good villian. While we may not have the greatest hero, you put in a lot of good stuff for him at least.

vezanmatics responds:

thanks ericho! your reviews are much appreciated and i'm glad you enjoyed it.

[Autism - Inside a Bubble]

Very cute

I just had to see this if for no other reason than it was great to learn about autism. I think awareness for this is being raised because of that Temple Gradin movie. I loved that movie, and I would now as I am on the autism spectrum with Asberger's. While the animation was not the best, you put forth a message that I could associate with. It is wonderful you are teaching more awareness of something that is so common. I hope that we will be able to learn from this and it was adorable to use your boys for this.

PapaQ responds:

Thank you, I haven't seen the Temple Movie yet, although we do want too.
We've both worked closely with all levels of autism and never cease to be amazed by the great characters and amazing people we meet.

[Generic Sprite Flash: 2]

Funniest part is the title

While I can't remember what happened in the first one (if I even saw it) this was pretty enjoyable to watch. I don't like these Zelda sprites much, but seeing as how this was obviously a parody it did not matter. I also like when Link was wondering what he was doing on that journey in the first place. Everything seems to be pretty authentic to the feel. I'm glad I know where that village scene comes from, as I had seen it in "Domo-Kun's Angry Smashfest". Keep up the decent work.

Fro responds:

:P

The village scene comes from an older game named Golden Axe.

Thanks for the review!

[CC - The Ban!]

A noob indeed

I hope you were not permanently rejected from the Clock Crew, as you seem like a valuable asset to it. At least your submissions got high rankings on Clock Day. You do need to work on the voice as I could not hear it very well. I just wanted to thank you again for all that you have done for me and the spinoff TTA series. I finally managed to get the voice on my computer cranked up so it sounds a lot clearer. Hopefully we can work hard to make more contributions to this great website.

Tails-Lock responds:

ClockCrew was never right for me. They're idiots with big egos mostly. The Locks are better.
But Clock and Lock flash is easier to do than stick flash, so I have left both crews. I know Sprite flash isn't a big step up, but I am glad to be doing better flashes now.

Also I ROFLed when you said "you seem like a valuable asset to it". I was a terrible Clock.

[The Heart and the Hand p2]

You are welcome

I knew that was Rina-chan doing Annie's voice! Anyway, I really liked how this was simply one of the cutest things I had ever seen. What matters is that it worked really well as a slice of life story. I have not seen the first one so it is a little difficult to understand exactly what is going on, but it is still great. For its length, it never lets up at all and it have much dialogue but still manages to set character development for its characters. The animation was flawless, especially the use of crayon coloring in some sequences.

Bobert-Rob responds:

Well, you don't actually need to have watched the first part, as that's included in this. The first, like, five minutes of this actually is part 1. I included it because I wanted people to be able to see the entire animation as it was meant to be seen. I'm glad you enjoyed it though, man!

[SSJ Bardock VS Cooler]

It's an okay test

I do not know if you have read the rules, but it's considered common courtesy to not just put in tests here. Of course, I made something with a much lower score, so I am not one to talk. These do seem to be pretty interesting designs! I don't think I have ever heard of anyone use a SSj Bardock before! You managed to mash up some really cool characters together in this at least. It just needs a background and some music, but then again it is just a test.

alafraga responds:

Thank you!
SSJ bardock is not real! It is awesome to animate with a fake character. Thanks for putting up the PROS and not the CONS.
That is all i want.
Not saying I want to know if it is awesome and epic, you know what i mean.

[Spider Powers 2]

Very nice

I really liked the references to the previous installment, even though it was not a direct sequel. The animation was good and it was nice how it ended with everyone crying to wrap things up.

I do have some bad news for you. There's a comic strip called "Pearls Before Swine" that had a comic strip ending in a punchline where a character was talking to letters of the alphabet. The letter "x" was very mean, and it was hard to talk to his "x". I am sorry someone else beat you to this joke first.

just2pale responds:

Ahh well may not be the most original idea - but I hope you enjoyed it just the same.

[DumbassDude Short ep 1]

How mediocre

I remember seeing you on the forums, DumbassDude, so it's cool to review one of yout submissions! I'd have to say that the animation was really good, but it needed more of a punchline. It would have been funnier to show the stick guy actually falling off the stairs. I liked how not only was his head shaped square, but so was everything in the house. I guess that judging by the name, this was supposed to be really dumb. I especially like how the trees were drawn in the beginning.

DumbassDude responds:

I was 13 at the time and I couldn't really use flash at all, I could only 'draw' so to speak. I remember not knowing how I would go about animating him falling down the stairs, so doubting my abilities, I just decided to do a black out instead. Ha.

Thanks for reviewing it though, never thought anyone ever would again :p
