Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Legend of Link Part 2]

Best in the series!

I am now still watching these cartoons in reverse order, as my checking of the top rated forces me to. That being said, I can say that this is the best one in the series! I thought that the voice work was really nice in this one, not to mention all the crazy jokes that went on. I especially liked the sprite and all her (his?) crazy antics.

Emptygoddess responds:

You're like a time traveler. Tell me, in the future do we still use primitive textile based typing?

[Dick Neck: O Trailer]

Dick neck?!

I remember first going onto this website and noticing all of the memes that were made exclusively just for flash cartoons. Then I went over to the forums and I was delighted to find the memes that started there, particuarly one that stood out was Dick Neck. It's a great example of a meme, and I seriously can't wait for the actual movie to come out! Thank you so much!

Galneda responds:

You're very welcome! Hope you enjoy the feature!

[SW Kotor 2 Romances SE]

Different kind of movie

I wasn't all that impressed by the animation (it really seemed like it was just a bunch of still images put together, and not that many different ones at that. I haven't played this video game so I couldn't really get the jokes. I will say that of all the mediocre things in this flash, at least you put in a really cool song to go with it.

eat-at-joes-guy responds:

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You say you've never played the game, first mistake. Don't question the source material or the humour involved, otherwise you have no place judging anything but the appearance and animation in the first place. Still images? Please, go watch something else if you don't like intentional pose-to-pose animation. It's relevant to the humour.

[The Legend of Link Part 3]

Better than the fourth

I know it's weird reviewing these flashes in backwards order, but now that I knew a little more about it I was able to understand it more. I knew that this now supposed to be more of a comedy-like series so I could learn to appreciate it more for what it was meant to be, although I was kind of disturbed by all the gay jokes at the beginning.

Emptygoddess responds:

I don't know how much they were jokes and how much they just... were.

[The Legend of Link Part 4]

Not great

While this was far from being terrible, I didn't really enjoy it. The voices were nice, but I was looking forward to more battle scenes. Of course, this is the only entry in the series I've watched, so I already don't know much about what's going on. Still, it was a nice little time waster, and I praise you for the high ratings you've gotten at least.

Emptygoddess responds:

Thanks. to warn you, this is the most action heavy of all of them.

[Telefrancais collab]

Wow....

Okay, I had absolutely no idea what was going on, but I loved every minute of it! I really think that if executives did go out and make a Canadian show about a talking pineapple, this is exactly how it would play it! Those crazy Canadians!

I loved seeing all the different animation, though I was a bit confused by Oney's contribution. Who eats the raw outside of a pineapple anyway? Then again, who meets a talking pineapple in the first place? I also liked Pilote with her (his?) possessed looking eyes, and when Pilote went through the skeleton's body.

On an educational note, it was nice that I got to learn some French at least. I'm no good at learning languages, but it still worked out very well! For the rest of my life, I swear I will now that French for "pineapple" is "ananas". Speaking of langauge, it must be weird to say "seal" in French, as it sounds just like a common curse word in English. Oh well, I had a great time watching this!

Bobert-Rob responds:

Yeah, I have no idea how they came up with this one... it's like the budget was so low that they just scrounged up as much as they could for show elements, making it up as they went along. Crazy Canadians indeed. And in Oney's part, well, he was probably just hungry. When you're hungry, you'll do just about anything... including biting a living pineapple in the eye.
Glad you enjoyed it!

[BlownOutOfProportion:Ep3]

I'M A BACKGROUND ACTOR

Wow, dude, clocking in at about 20 minutes, it's the longest flash I've seen in a long time. Anyway, all I can say that this was pretty satisfying to watch. While I admit it wasn't a great one (maybe a bit too much with the sex jokes and the animation was pretty cheesy) the jokes worked well on their own, and I felt it kept a continuing story for that long a time. I haven't seen the others, so it's a little hard to understand what's going on, but still nice.

JunkYardAnimations responds:

hahaha thanks glad u liked it, and yeah i wanna get this series on tv so i can hire animators and sound guys :P

[The Test of Doom]

Very nice!

The animation was a little simplistic, so I couldn't help but think this may have been one of your earlier animations, but it turns out to be recent. Anyway, despite said animation, it was a very enjoyable flash that did well in spite of, or heck because of, its simplicity. The best part was when they entered Cloudland and encountered the Sun who just casually punched them away, not to mention it was awesome how he used the laser meme to defeat the wise man NOT in a box (funny, too) and then just casually telling another guy there it was a secret.

At the beginning, they should have said, "For great justice!" or is that meme just dead now?

Oggy-cheese responds:

Thanks. I know what you mean about the simple style. When I first started making flashes, I was aiming some really detailed and mega graphics stuff, but I was never able to do it, and recently I've been going for a simpler style instead, I find it nicer too look at, simpler to animate and it's a style that suits me, rather than trying to achieve the level of detail in flashes by Adam Phillips etc. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[Alucard vs Richter: SOTN - Rhapsody of Ruin]

I like a lot!

This had seriously some of the best sprite work I've seen, although I guess that might be because the characters were so tiny, it was a lot harder to notice pixels. As this is your first flash movie, let me congradulate you on a job well done! I'm looking forward to the sequel, especially with all of those elaborate fighting scenes!

RopeDrink responds:

Glad you like it, though I think I accomplished my one goal when I made this and that was to finally learn how to make flash (at least with SwIsH) so there's been no plan or thought of a sequel but as said before, I wont be suprised if some time in my life, I'll figure... Hey, maybe that story needs finishing!

[Space Noodles - Pilot]

You're welcome for watching

This was pretty entertaining. I was very impressed by the cartoon's animation, as it really puts in a lot of color at all the right places. Now, the content itself I admit really wasn't that funny. I mean, it was fine, but not as memorable as the animation.

So overall, this was done well.

cronobreaker responds:

Glad you enjoyed it:) The writing is something I definately want to improve on in the future, I didn't actually realise how hard it was to write something decent until I started work on this!
