Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[A* Episode 3]

Enjoyable enough

While not a classic, I liked it. The animation was interesting, and even though there wasn't much action, the drama was good enough to keep me interested the whole way through. I haven't seen the other entries in this series, so this is someone speaking who doesn't know about it, but that's fine.

smbhax responds:

Yeah, this being the first part of a two-part flashback, it's a lot of setup rather than actual action (next episode ;D), so presenting all that while still keeping it involving for the viewer was the major challenge here. I'm glad it kept you interested!

The previous two episodes have more in the way of direct action, so you might find those useful for comparison.

You raise a good point about being able to follow the episode even without seeing the ones before it. That was a plus of this episode being a flashback, because it's almost like starting its own story, only of course it ties in with the episodes that come before and after it. It's something I'll have to watch out for as I make episode 4, because that one starts immediately after the end of this one, so it will be more of a challenge to make the story as accessiblef or those who haven't seen the episode 3. Still, I try to keep the storytelling style pretty direct, so I think it'll work out.

Wow!

It didn't look like it was going to be much in the beginning, but it really did get better! Apart from the slick animation, I loved the message it sent. In the end, trying to improve yourself just like everybody else is going to lead to conformity and an utterly emotionless world. Only by coping with our problems and not simply ignoring them, can we truly become good in our lives.

exotworking responds:

this is newgrounds, not hollywood :)

[Nietzsche kills God]

Hmm, not that bad

It was very cheesy, but it did have its moments. I mean, it was certianly a creative flash and had a lot of stuff going on that I haven't seen before. Just wish there were some more voices, but it was fine.

Serdo responds:

"More" voices??

[Apartment in Space 1.5]

Good

It was fun to see a lot of my favorite artists like eddsworld and MrSimon working on this, even if it wasn't animation. Not one of my favorites, but the animation moves fluidly. The funniest part was when he looked at the audience saying it would be stupid to watch a cartoon like this.

Carbonwater responds:

Lolyeah.

Breaking the fourth wall is one of my favorite jokes.

[Brawl Funnies [Dick 2]]

Better than the first one!

I just wanted to say this was a pretty enjoyable flash. I finally went and saw the actual find Brawl Taunts myself and noticed it was virtually a parody of a parody. It looks like now you did a parody of a parody of a parody! It just never ends!

Anyway, it's great to see a lot of inspired artists like Bug, rtil, and emanhattan working on bizarre projects like this, and also to take part in a little friendly rivalry with the competition of course. This can bring back memories for me, but let me just say thank you all for all your parodies and have a great summer everyone!

You forgot to mention your hero me, CoolDrMoney

[Creepy Fun Time Deluxe]

Pretty wierd

Well, this wasn't really a good or bad flash, just really weird. I've seen weird flashes, but this one didn't really do it for me. Not bad, I guess.

TheElSalvador responds:

All I did was tween a few images around the screen, not much of a flash at all. I just wanted to showcase Sqeezy's brilliant song.

[Pico Epsilon]

Little late, but still good

This wasn't one of my favorite Pico Day flashes, but I will say the animation was quite impressive. It was also great to get down to the deconstructive nature about the concept of Pico and the character development.

BiffTheTimid responds:

Can it be your favorite one? Come on, please? Thanks for the review. And make this your favorite.

[Fatherly Bonds]

The Best!!

I loved this flash, if for no other reason than the animation. It's a sort of surrealist Ren-and-Stimpyesque kind with exaggerated body motions and unpredictability! It was great to see it continue as I thought it was over right before the castle crasher showed up! Always love your rendition of the Tricky song at the end.

Happy Pico Day!!

Gonzossm responds:

hahah thanks mang. Everything I make will be overexagerated and random lol

[Newgrounds: The Future]

Good work!

Sure, I could tell it wasn't that hard to animate, but you had a lot of really good intentions with making this flash. It's great to see this site being promoted by someone here with how it's changed over the years, and even how it's affected our lives in general. It also helped the music was cool.

Paradox responds:

cheers

[Hey DickFace!]

Not bad

Sure, it was short, but the animation was cool and it was a pretty funny idea.
