Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Eddsworld Vs Cahj]

Great stuff!

4:26? I felt as though it was on a lot longer than that. Anyway, I was very impressed by this and while I have no idea who Cahj is (I assume they're another group of cartoonists like eddworld) this was awesome! It helped that you used the theme song from "Naruto", which is some truly awesome music. I was also impressed by the animation, especially with the characters fighting. I'm a big fan of eddsworld and although I can't remember the character's names, it was great to see them all. The toaster turning into a robot was cool too.

Lazyfeet responds:

Yeah, it's only the second episode of CAHJ so hopefully we'll become better known. I was inspired by the Naruto intro. It was absolutely badass.

Hehe. I want a transformer toaster. It's not fair!

[Karl!!]

Drinking?

I know that being a big fan of the forums I'm used to learning about someone's birthday. It's interesting to find out that this is the date of Mr. Hippo or Blue Hippo or whatever his name is' birthday! While there wasn't much interaction, the drawn figures were nice. I recognized Luis and ZekeySpaceLizard and know they're supporters of the hippo guy. The music was pretty cheerful and fit the mood well. Next time, you should try having more action and some dialogue for that matter.

Rooster responds:

I thought I had more time to finish then I did, I had planned more than what is there. Hopefully next year i'll do what I wanted to this year.

[The Pretenders]

20 MB?!

Dude, I have to give you a 9 for if nothing else than informing me that Tom Fulp raised the bar to 20 MB! It's not often I see live-action stuff here (that's more suited for YouTube) but I'm glad it's here! The atmosphere (with all the dark stuff around) is simply wonderful. I was a bit skeptical of this seriousness when they didn't have actual guns. You threw in a great twist by revealing it was in fact, pretend. Dang, I really should've figured that out sooning just by looking at the title!

Fro responds:

thanks

[My participation to apple]

Not bad at all

I was a little disappointed about the lack of music, but it wasn't half bad besides that. You should also probably put in some sound effects. While it may have been short, it had really all of the animation I would expect from a stick flash such as this. I also thought the ending was really funny when it was pretty much pointless. I also liked the color tone you used for this. With more story and sound, I'm sure you could become a popular author.

stickmakerflash responds:

The Ending; remember when the stickman shot the apple? the bullet did'nt went through. So, when he bit it, the bullet was still there and he choked and hicupped. Get it?! If not, watch it again

[Parallel Memories: Teaser]

Quite strange

I was expecting a lot of voice acting in this itself, but there was really none at all. I mean yeah, it's a teaser and I can understand why there wouldn't be, but I still found it odd to credit so many voice actors. This series looks pretty good so far. The sprites seem to be well-animated even if the drawings show they may be recolors of popular characters. It is certainly creative with all of those characters. I was surprised you didn't do any character analysis for the villians.

Pienkaito responds:

Well, you obviously didn't find the easter egg yet.
And the villains are still unknown to make it more interesting.

[Spark-Boy snowday]

That was wierd

I loved Red Baron's appearance, but I couldn't really understand this at all. I gues the black kid who flew was supposed to be Red Baron or Sparkboy or something? I guess this is one in a series, and I don't know anything about it. It kind of left on a loose end, and I'm sorry that you were not able to complete it if that was the case. I mean, I thought the animation and the voices were pretty good, but hard to understand. I guess I can at least give you credit for creating a fairly original concept.

beastkid7 responds:

yeah sorry bout that -thanx for your honest review.

[CS.SiFvsSa2C#4]

Very impressive!

I've seen tons of stick flashes and I can still say this was very creative. I loved the variety of weapons used and the different character designs, showing how creative you can get with this. I'm not even sure if this is technically something "stick" as it's pretty bulgy. I'm going to go and recommend this for a collection when I'm done. I especially liked the zombie bite and the ending credits. It was also cool to have a change of scenery, you know, go to a snowy place.

Mejson responds:

Hey,

Thanks for good comments. I think that zombie mode was very interesting but I could do this better. I try to make my movie better so maybe 5# part will be good like 4# or better.

Regards

[Bear meets boy]

Uh, it was okay

I admired the use of color in this (especially the bears), but other than that it had very little. I guess the song was kind of funny and set forth a goofy emotion. I would have liked this better if it was part of the collab and it doesn't do much for itself on its own. I was expecting some vicious bear attack as that's what bears are known for. I guess this works fine for its intention, as something created for a collab. The animation wasn't too good, but you should try to have more jokes and more action.

Rooster responds:

Yeah, that collab fell through, so I was thinking I should make this longer into a series perhaps.

[Paper's edge]

Quite impressive!

I'm a big fan of these cartoons that have a heavy use of stop motion to create this effect. It was nice of you to make a version strictly for Newgrounds and mention your YouTube profile. I was particularly impressed by the eraser that showed up and then exploded. I was also entertained by all of the "P"'s you put in your description. I'm not quite sure if you should add Ps or Ss to that. Anyway, while not one of my favorites, this obviously took a lot of effort to make and was able to tell a good story in the process.

stickbob123 responds:

Thank you for ur exact opinion...it's always appreciated
