Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hay Wars]

Hay!

It was interesting to see a live-action video with effects like this on Newgrounds. Sure, it's more suited for YouTube, but it's certainly something I wouldn't mind seeing more of. I thought the effects with the lasers were done really well. Sure, it didn't have much of a story, but you pointed out how cheesy it came to be. It was nice to see a location like a barn yard, you know, out of the ordinary. The music was also pretty good, and I think it fit the theme well enough.

Fro responds:

The sequel, Snow Wars, should be finished and uploaded tomorrow. I would appreciate a review there as well! :)

[Sketchy Friends Dance 2]

Simply great stuff

I was impressed at how this had all of the good music and funky beats as the original. It could have been a little more creative, but it's still definitley something I would recommend. The characters have so much depth to them, despite the fact that they don't even have any color in themselves. They never talk, but they express themselves in an even better way. It's goofy, yes, but it's very creative and entertaining. It's fun to see how long it takes for me to figure out it's an infinite loop.

TheBoogley responds:

yes, that is the most fun. I love sitting with people watching it and not telling them anything then waiting for the uncomfortable silence when we've been sitting there for five minutes wondering when the hell it's going to end

[Beauty is Humanity]

I love the tone

I'm more used to seeing flashes by you where's a ton of action and great animation. This didn't have that much action and the animation could have been better. I still enjoyed this simply because of the great message it is trying to send. You have shown us our past, present, and a future (which we'll never know anyway). It's interesting to see all of the things we have to be thankful for in humanity at any period of time. I am also glad you got your first award with this cartoon.

vezanmatics responds:

i'm trying to prove that i'm not just a one-trick pony.

and thanks!

I love it!

I am so glad to be introduced to the style of your work, as it is simply flawless! What really stands this apart from a lot of other stuff is how great the animation is. It seems like someone trying to write a Gorillaz comic book or something. Speaking of music, it also did a great job of making appropriate music. I just loved the shading, character designs, and everything else that just made this thing so beautiful! It's an original style and everything about it is creative and completely unpredictable.

lenkalamari responds:

i love gorillaz too much haha. thanks for the review

[Male Comfort]

It was nice

I'm not the biggest fan of this game (in fact, I don't think I'd heard it before) but it was well done. This didn't even have anything fancy simply because it just didn't need to and it works well in its simplicity. I'm glad I was able to watch this. The animation could probably use some work, as it does look kind of bland. I thought the guy who was taking his clothes off was going to have sex with the woman! It's a soft take on what is considered to be regular life.

Vitty responds:

Thank you!

[Heabrow B!]

How did you make that?

I am as glad as anyone else that the Clock Crew exists, and that Clock Day exists. This did in fact look like it took more effort to make than StrawberryClock's "B". It was pretty creative to show muscular StrawberryClock with a mustache. Being only one screen, it is quite difficult to find anything that I would recommend to anyone. I guess it has significance, but on its own, it's really nothing special. I guess it was nice to do a tribute and you do not just have an okay score, but a great one!

masamu responds:

yeah,I wrote this a long time ago,but think of the fact that SBC started the same way

[Pokemon: Fated Battle]

AWESOME!!

It's simply fantastic you were bold enough to make something really great involving "Pokemon". At first, I was going to think you hated the anime, but you apparently don't! I've gone on places like YouTube and Deviantart and found that "Pokemon" is indeed very popular, so there is nothing to be ashamed of, my friend!

The flash itself, probably due to the fact that it had some of the best music scores I've heard in a cartoon! The animation wasn't perfect, but was good, especially how Steelix popped out of the ground. The epicness of it was simply unbelievably intense, and I love you for making this!

Tyrant-D responds:

Thanks for the review! honestly im not ashamed of making a flash involving pokemon, even though I'm 21. its the fact that I hear alot of fools go "pokemon is gay" or "lets kill pikachu" really! i say why say it? saying that just makes you immature. so i briefly explain that in the submission description.

[Vete a la Versh 2]

Now I can say that in Spanish

I was half expecting to see him go up to a female dog and say that, but it was something else. I kind of thought this was some of your lesser work, as it didn't have much of a punchline. What really saves it is how good the animation is. It's funny to just see him jumping around (apparently, you can say, "la la la" in Spanish). It's easy to follow and it helps that there's a lot of setup for the final joke. It may have been predictable, but it isn't terrible at all.

Darkar responds:

Thanks...?

[Vete a la Versh 4]

Hey, that was really funny!

The animation is as interesting as ever, and it's nice to be more associated with this popular series. I was a little disappointed that it seemed to only have one punchline. It should still be noted that this was still quite funny, due to the fact that it addressed that issue. I heard that are many gay penguins, but didn't know this was the cause. It's a pretty realistic representation of a reaction to something like that happening. I found it odd how one of the penguins was green, when they normally are not [green].

Darkar responds:

Apparently you put a lot of effort in the analysis of this type of artwork.

Well, you shouldn't. Cartoons are meant to be unexpected and ridiculous.

[Madness Reprobabilitation]

Very well done!

I was indeed quite impressed at how this managed to have a reference to every single entry in the Madness Combat series. It was great to see all of those guys in the same place. My only complaint is that the animation did seem a little goofy at times. Still, this had all of the action you would want in a Madness Combat flash. It was also funny how you ended with the moral of not making fun of clowns. The music was also very cool and fast-paced and fit the theme quite well.

RazorShader responds:

Thanks :D
And I know what you mean about the sometimes goofy animations ;)
