Ericho's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Death Mansion- Part 1]

This was really good! I appreciate all the little things going on. I just loved the music in this! Some of the design doesn't hold up, but it's still pretty good. That was a pretty long intro. You simply can't go wrong with zombies.

I guess stick flashes never died to begin with. I like the health bar thing. It showed that they were on equal levels. It was great to see him get back at the end. This does, however, seem more like a standalone cartoon.

Thank you Ericho :)

[Molly & Wally in "Prank Call"]

Why am I seeing so much stuff that I don't understand? I mean, the prank works and then what? I will give you credit for having great animation. It really was funny to see her butt fly around like that. This just seems like one of your weakest flashes. I was expecting more of a joke.

Okay, poop can be funny. It just doesn't add up to much here. The redundant name is nice. Uh, happy first day of June? I don't see this becoming popular.

TmsT responds:

To answer your questions:
- Because you are expanding your horizons, challenging yourself by seeking out new things to learn from. Good for you!
- The prank works and then the movie concludes, having no further business after demonstrating the prank.
- It was actually the second day of June that was the happy day, when this movie won a Daily 2nd Place. Thanks for asking.

[HEAT MAN 2: Missing Scene]

That wasn't bad. It was good to see something that was just action. I guess the length was pretty good. I was confused as to why they didn't use their powerups. Does this take place before they kill Mega Man? The sprites were pretty nicely done.

The music was quite nice. They didn't get as damaged as I thought. Well, they still got hit a lot. I think Cut Man and Heat Man have the same head design. Laziness was abundant back then.

DragoonFenix15 responds:

I've realized that Robot Masters in general only ever have one of about 5 different head designs. It IS really repetitive...

[Lousy Total Recall]

Not that good, but it was good. I haven't seen "Total Recall" before. I have seen a review of it, but don't remember that much. I'm glad that you included the most iconic scenes here. Well, it didn't show Arnold dying in space or whatever. The animation was quite good.

It was just so macabre. I appreciate how much detail is put into it. You certainly have a unique drawing style. The voices are pretty funny too. It's just done in a nice manner.

LousyPandah responds:

Cheers dude,

this was my second attempt at doing an animation. It's weird though because I feel like my animation was a lot better back then :)

[Rhythm and Rockets]

I really do love this cartoon! In the beginning it reminded me of Fionna from "Adventure Time!". As it went on, it became awesome in its own right! I really do love how fluidly everything moves. I feel bad for not recognizing you as the creator of "Slush Invaders Duel". That's one of my favorite flashes ever!

You made something truly wonderful and unique here! It's great that it's so joyous. Everything is so wonderfully light-hearted. To think, I just reviewed "Rosethorne". Everything moves so wonderfully vibrant. I love it all!

gildedguy responds:

Thanks! This movie is a bit different from my stick figure stuff, so don't feel bad. Glad you enjoyed the tone and animation.

[FFF: Epic]

With the "Epic" in the title, I knew it would be the longest. I was right! Anyway, it was really impressive how you showed the different styles. You do pretty good hand drawn animation. Well, I guess in Flash that wouldn't be the correct term. It's still great to look at.

I am feeling nostalgic for TTA. I wonder if it was directly inspired by this? You really did use the mythology of the series quite well. I can understand how these characters interact much more. It holds up very well.

SplashKhat responds:

A search for TTA brought up Tv Tome Adventures, it's a game here on NG. This video was made long before that xD. I honestly stopped watching NG vids and games while working on the series. I wanted to create by my own imagination and not mimic, or try to out do other things that I've seen. NG made me feel like it's all a competition, I made these because I had fun doing it. I wanted to keep having fun with it, so I turned into a NG hermit, lol.

[FFF: Darkside]

I feel bad for not being more familiar with the series. I do really like this. That was a pretty funny way to list the audio. The music was of course great. It was good how you showed the passage of time in this. I thought this series was numbered at first?

I would love to see an update for this. You had good visuals, too. It's nice how I'm starting to feel for the characters. Well, I can at least remember their names. That was good battle too.

SplashKhat responds:

If you had watched them from the Series page (link in my profile) they are ordered from top to bottom. When I first started these, I had no idea I'd be making over a dozen of them, so I didn't number them till much later.

The game most of these characters came from was hard to play. Every spell had levels. Cure1 could be level 1. And it became stronger the more you used it. And then when you learn Cure2 it's at level 1. So you had to grind and train your characters to become good with magic.

Other then visual effects, camera, and perhaps a longer fight, The story for this chapter is solid. I wouldn't change anything there other then to make it more obvious that their spells had levels. While some were weak, they could also be very powerful.

[NWAR: Dirty Dozen]

It's just great to see how many puns you can cram in. They really do fit the story so well. While I wish there was more of a climax, this was probably your best episode to date. I loved how it had a really cool story. Everyone had such a unique design. The voice work was awesome.

This animation was always kickass. I think this might be the longest one in the series. It actually does have an interesting plot twist. I thought maybe all the others were moles at first. Or rats. Or stool pigeons, or behind bars, or...whatever. Loved the pie/cake pun too.

danmarkowitz responds:

Thanks a lot! The ending leads directly into the next episode, so stay tuned!
