What is up bros?
I'm Caleb.
And I'm Jonathan.
And we are a couple of bros on a mission to give you guys the most detailed movie reviews
out there with as little bias as possible.
Welcome to the All Bros.
This week on the podcast we do not have a whole hell of a lot to talk about other than
a Minions movie coming to 4K.
And then we're going to get right into our breakdown of Paws of Fury, The Legend of Hank.
And this one's going to be interesting because me and Rose have very conflicting opinions
on it.
Yes, yes we do.
So this should be a real fun one for us.
So I mean, before we get into all that good stuff, let's say we get on into it.
Let's do it.
Every day we're surrounded by media, books, movies, art, music, games, apps, podcasts,
etc. etc.
With this constant bombardment, it's easy to miss great media gems in the chaos.
But fret not, you've come to the right place, my friend.
I'm Jason and I love media.
I invite you to check out the Mixed Media Forest podcast.
The podcast where I trudge through the forests of media to find hidden gems for you, the
listener.
Every episode of Mixed Media Forest is chock full of fun, reviews, nostalgia, positivity,
news, rants, stories, and recommendations about all things media.
Again, that's the Mixed Media Forest podcast, created on Anchor podcasting app and available
everywhere find podcasts can be found.
Give it a listen, it's what all the cool kids are doing.
Alrighty first up like we said, 4k spotlight.
Rose, you have the information on this one, correct?
I do.
So yeah, this Tuesday or tomorrow, the Minions Rise of Gru is coming to 4k and Blu-ray.
It's not getting anything special.
It's just literally a bare bones Blu-ray and 4k release.
I have not seen this movie yet.
I know Caleb went and saw it because this was actually his daughter's first experience
in a movie theater.
Yes it was.
Which honestly, I feel that makes this movie kind of cool, only for that.
That's the only reason it's kind of cool.
Other than that I could give two shits about Minions 2.
Yeah honestly, I'm kind of hoping that I can get like a retry.
Like I know it's like a little too late for me to be like, eh, this is her first movie.
But yeah, it's a Minions movie.
It's a Minions movie and that is all I have to say about it.
It is not nearly.
It's messed up with how it's like formatted.
It feels like they tried to merge a Minions movie with a Despicable Me movie and it didn't
work out very well.
It's like a Despicable Me with a little bit extra Minion in it.
I would hope that that would see, because I hate the first one.
Minions cannot carry a movie in my opinion.
So I was hoping that with this one, considering that Steve Carell came back to voice Kid Groo
that maybe it would be a little better.
I feel Groo is one of the only bearable parts of this franchise because Steve Carell is
amazing in this role.
I absolutely disagree with you on that one.
I find Groo so freaking annoying.
Oh, OK.
Whoa.
The tables have turned or the turntables have turned.
Yeah.
Whoa.
OK.
All right.
I don't know what else to say to that.
I know I kind of like freaking stunned you.
You did because I thought you would have at least enjoyed his performance.
I didn't.
I find Groo so freaking annoying, dude.
It's like both grown up and Kid Groo?
Yes.
OK.
I know.
I know it's messed up, but yeah, Groo I find freaking annoying.
Wow.
I prefer to see the Minions.
Really?
Yeah.
I felt like because I like what I did with Iris was I showed her the first Minions movie
and she was like she loved it and rewatching it.
I like I thoroughly enjoyed it as well.
It was fun.
It had like it's like quirky comedy and whatnot, but it saying that the rise of Groo was on
the same level as the Minions.
I know objectively speaking, the Minions isn't like the best movie in the world, but it was
like OK, like it was somewhat decent.
I would almost put the first Minions above this one and it's just because they have Groo
in it.
So would you say that the first Minions is your favorite Despicable Me movie?
No, I would not say that.
Despite my feelings about Groo, I do feel like Despicable Me is a better movie.
OK.
But Groo gets on my nerves.
That's...
Oh, shit.
It's freaking hilarious.
OK, I don't know what else to say that because I really did not expect you to not be a fan
of Steve Krill's Groo.
I don't know what...
I think it's just...
I don't know.
I think it's just his accent really gets under my skin.
But yeah.
Oh, shit.
That's funny.
But like I said, I do know in my heart that Despicable Me is a better movie than the Minions.
OK.
Alright.
And I will say that about all the Despicable Me movies.
I think all of the Despicable Me movies that I've seen, I don't know if I've seen the third
one yet.
If you haven't, you're really not missing much.
OK.
I know I've seen the first and second one for sure.
But I know that those are better than the Minions movies.
But yeah, Rise of Groo was not good and it was because they included Groo.
Damn.
You hear that, Corell?
Wow.
Dude, don't get me wrong.
I love Corell.
I wanted such a palate cleanser from the Rise of Groo that I went and watched 40-Year-Old
Virgin.
OK, you know what?
I mean, honestly, I probably would have watched The Office, but I can understand that.
I love Steve Corell.
And I thought maybe it was just like Steve Corell's voice acting, but other things that
he's voice acted like Remy in Over the Hedge.
Yes.
Like, I love him in that.
God, that's an underrated animated film.
Oh, straight up, dude.
Straight up.
So good.
But yeah, like, I love his voice work.
It's just Groo's voice I'm not a fan of.
Fair enough.
OK.
Well, if you guys actually did like or if you guys actually do like Steve Corell's Groo
or the character of Groo, you can pick up Minions The Rise of Groo this Tuesday on
4K and Blu-ray.
Oh.
Yeah, that's all I got.
That's it?
OK.
Yeah.
I just was not expecting that.
Dude, I know I freaking like rocked you to your core.
Yeah, you did.
Like, holy shit, dude.
Like usually when I say shit like that, you're a little bit more opinionated about it.
But yeah, this time just freaking caught you off guard for some reason.
You really did, because most people will say, oh, I can't stand the Minions, but Steve
Corell as Groo saves those movies.
And I would say some people actually do like the The Three Girls.
But not a lot of people say, oh, I can't even stand Groo the Minions or I'll take the Minions
over Groo any day.
Yeah, I know.
I don't feel good about it on the inside, but.
I got to go with my heart.
Got to go with it.
All right.
So that's everything we got on 4K Spotlight.
So with that, let's say we move right on into this week's breakdown.
Let's do it.
And like I said, we have very conflicting opinions about this movie.
I had a decent time with it.
Rose apparently had a not so decent time with this movie.
Yeah, apparently he was like checking the clock and everything.
Yeah, like I said, I was checking every 20 minutes it seemed.
Yeah, like, oh my God, is it?
And dude, don't even get me started about the stupid ass joke about them calling, oh,
we got to get this movie wrapped up in 85 minutes.
That's all we're giving.
Or some shit like that.
Dude, that was freaking hilarious.
I did not laugh one bit.
Oh my gosh.
OK.
Before we get into any more spoiler territory, this is how we break down movies.
We have split them into eight different categories that we individually score to come to a final
Albrose letter grade.
The eight categories that we score are story, writing, acting, character development, effects,
music, costumes, and then we give it our own personal score at the very end.
All of those numbers get magically added up and spat out of our algorithm, which gives
us a letter grade and percentage to compare this movie to others of its kind.
So, with that, if you have not seen Paws of Fury, The Legend of Hank, it is currently
streaming on Paramount+.
So go give it a watch if you want to hear Rose's opinions on why it sucks.
I mean, a lot of people did not go see this movie in theaters because it was a box office
flop.
That I would believe.
It did a 45 million box office, only 21.5 million.
Shit.
Yeah.
Hopefully, it gained some ground with being on streaming.
I think now, I think if you do a children's movie, I think if you do a children's movie
nowadays, you have to release it to streaming.
I don't think, I think parents are like, I'll just wait for it to come to streaming.
Yeah, nowadays, they don't want to take the chance, even though COVID's definitely gotten
a lot better.
I feel a lot of people don't want to take the chance of their kids getting sick.
There is something that's kind of nice about taking a kid to see a movie one on one.
I could not imagine the problem, because I only took one kid to the movies and it was
a freaking chore.
I could not imagine taking more than one kid to the movies at a time.
For going to go see a children's movie, that doesn't make sense to me to only take one.
Even if there was a movie that I knew both of my kids would like that was coming to theaters,
I would wait.
At least until they were older.
If it was just a kids movie where, let's say they're under the age of, let's say they're
under the age of six.
If they're under the age of six and there's a movie that comes out that I feel that they
would really enjoy watching, I would wait for it to come to streaming.
Once you get over the age of six, where both of them are over the age of six, that's where
I'll start being case by case.
Depending on how well behaved my kids are.
If they're a handful and they just want to goof off all the time, or if they have freaking
ADHD or some shit like that, no, we're waiting for streaming.
If they can show that they can sit through a movie quietly, then yeah, maybe we'll go
to the movie theater.
It will be seriously just such a case by case situation, but for a movie like this, I would
have waited for streaming.
I feel like with Disney animated films or Pixar, I feel they kind of have to for the
most part release that stuff in theaters for how big a budget those movies are.
Yeah, I mean, if you just drop the budget a little bit, I don't know if I'd want Disney
or Pixar to do that though, because their movies are so gorgeous when it comes to their
animated films.
You're not wrong.
Fair, fair enough.
But still, if they could find a way to capitalize on this whole streaming service thing and
get their money back from doing that, I think that would be a very profitable way for them
to release their movies.
Fair enough.
But yeah, I have an interesting what if question for you.
What if Disney or Pixar specifically were to start releasing purely kids movies, like
not as high quality like animation and whatnot, those types of movies onto Disney Plus, but
then start releasing more adult content or adult driven content in theaters, where you
still get that beautiful Pixar movie, but it's just more adult themed and not really
for kids?
I'm torn with that because I never want to see Pixar have to downgrade their quality
of animation.
Because even with the shorts that they do, I feel that they don't even downgrade the
animation.
It always looks amazing.
But at the same time, I would actually love to see that kind of stuff.
Like you said, adult oriented stories from Pixar.
So I'm like at a crosshairs with that.
It's an interesting thought experiment though, right?
It is.
Yeah, very.
So I would honestly have to like be able to...
I'd have to like see one of each, like one adult oriented Pixar movie that, you know,
like pristine animation and then one Disney Plus kind of little more child friendly movie
that's just maybe a little downgrade of animation.
But at the same time, I just...
For how far that Pixar has come, I don't know if I can handle a downgrade in their animation.
That's a tough one because it's like the movie's budget does not include marketing, correct?
Or does it include?
No, it does not.
Does not, okay.
So usually for like most big budget movies, I think they throw in like another 25 to 50
million for marketing.
Because marketing ain't cheap.
Right.
So I'm wondering then if they were to...
Because you said a movie has to double its money to be profitable and that's usually
because of marketing.
So it has to double its budget to break even.
But then, yeah, but then after that, then it starts to become profitable.
Depending on how much they, like you said, how much they spend for marketing and all
that stuff.
Because actually, so I forget what podcast it was on, but freaking Matt Damon brought
up such a great point with like physical media nowadays.
And the fact that back in the day, if your movie didn't do so great in theaters, you
knew that the physical like DVD or VHS release was just around the corner.
So you had hopes that you could make up for it when it came to that.
But unfortunately, nowadays with physical media just dying out literally once, if it
doesn't hit the numbers you want at the box office, you better hope that it does at least
decently on streaming because you're screwed if it doesn't.
Because physical media sales don't mean shit anymore.
It really doesn't count towards your...
What's the word?
Your, not box office, but like the actual profit that you make from a movie.
I wish studios were a little bit more open about how movies perform on streaming.
I agree.
Like I really want to know.
I mean, I guess I could see, I forget what she uses, but Grace Randolph, she uses this
website that tells you like how each week certain movies and shows did on streaming.
And I think it's usually like three weeks behind, but still.
I really would want to see how Lightyear is doing on Disney Plus for how badly it did
in theaters.
It did not perform well.
Yeah.
So I'm really hoping that it's finding a second home on Disney Plus because it deserves it.
Yeah.
I mean, it's been on their top recommended for a long time, but I wonder if that's just
like Disney strategy going into play being like, hey, everyone else likes this.
Like hoping that they can trick people into thinking like, other people like this, we
swear.
Anyway.
So getting back to Paws of Fury, much to Rose's chagrin.
If you have not seen Paws of Fury, we are about to spoil the entire movie for you.
So if you want to listen past this point and have it spoiled for you, like feel free.
If not, go check it out.
Like we said, it's on a Paramount Plus right now.
So with that, Rose will be reading the entire synopsis for Paws of Fury.
Rose.
Okay, here we go.
Hank dies.
That's why it's called the Legend of Hank.
The end.
I'm just kidding.
So bitter.
I know.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
I'm going to try to be nice.
All right.
In a land inspired by feudal Japan and entirely inhabited by cats, Ikachu, a conniving high
ranking official of the land's Shogun, desires to expand his giant palace.
However, it resides next to the impoverished village of Kakamucho.
Oh my God.
Wow.
I ended that sentence horribly.
Anyway.
Hoping to get rid of it, Ikachu plans to force Kakamucho's residents to abandon their town
by sending a gang of thugs led by his second in hand, Oga, is that how you say his name?
Yes.
Okay.
To trash the town.
The townspeople demand that the Shogun appoint a new samurai to protect them after the previous
one flees.
Ikachu, hoping to offend the townspeople, decides to appoint Hank, a dog prisoner about
to be executed as Kakamucho's samurai.
After an initial hostile reception, Hank relies on the assistance of Jimbo, a catnip addled
samurai who reluctantly agrees to train him in order to overcome the townspeople's hostility.
While training with Jimbo, Hank manages to subdue Sumo, an immensely strong, dim witted,
yet philosophical henchman that Ikachu sent to drive out the townspeople quicker.
The townspeople see Hank as a hero, but his new found popularity ends up going to Hank's
head, and he neglects his training, which causes a follow up between him and Jimbo.
Ikachu takes Hank to a private nightclub in order to distract him as his thugs trash Kakamucho.
Hank returns to a devastated town, and after a heated argument with Jimbo, he decides to
go home, but an origami figure of himself reminds him of his samurai oath.
Jimbo, meanwhile, attempts to storm Ikachu's palace in hopes to free Sumo, who was captured
by Ikachu's goons.
Hank returns in order to help him out.
Upon hearing about Sumo's escape, Ikachu recruits an army of thugs to get rid of Kakamucho
for good.
Hank returns to Kakamucho and explains his plan to defeat Ikachu's army.
The townspeople then build a perfect paper copy of the town and themselves as a diversion.
When the raiders attack the fake town and its population of dummies, which have been
booby trapped with dynamite, Hank ignites the bombs and the townspeople attack the thugs.
The Shogun arrives, who questions the fighting.
Oga accidentally exposes Ikachu's plan to him, causing Ikachu to flee.
Hank chases Ikachu to his palace.
Hank chases Ikachu to his palace, where he fights him on his giant-
Oh wait.
Oh my god, yeah there was.
I just like totally forgot the ending of this movie.
Wow.
I'm gonna shut up now.
Sorry.
I totally forgot the next scene happened.
Wow.
Hank chases Ikachu to his palace, where he fights him on his giant Jade toilet, which-
Get ready for the joke, guys.
He calls it- What does he call it again?
The Super Bowl.
See, to me the joke wasn't even that good.
I already forgot it.
I'm such a dick to this movie already.
Okay, I'm gonna cool down.
I'm gonna chill out.
Hank chases Ikachu to his palace, where he fights him on his giant Jade toilet, which
overflows and threatens to flood the town.
Hank warns the Kakamucho townspeople of the incoming flood and leads them in the digging
of a channel to safely divert the water around the town.
With Kakamucho saved, the impressed Shogun decides to appoint Jimbo as the new samurai,
but he gives the position to Hank.
Hank however, feels that he is not entirely ready, so he ends up giving the position to
a miko- Is it a miko?
Yes.
Or a m- Okay.
A kitten who also desires to be a samurai.
So is her mom just not going to be like, hell no, she's too young.
Probably not in front of the Shogun.
Fair enough.
I'm sure she got a nice talking to after, hopefully.
Hank and Jimbo continue to train in their own time with their relationship mended.
And a- Oh.
This is why I should have watched the whole damn movie.
In a post-credit scene, a now imprisoned and soaking ikachu consoles himself that at least
he will not have to be a part in a sequel.
I totally missed that post-credit scene.
I didn't know that was the thing.
I didn't see that one either.
I didn't think that there was going to be one.
Dude, why does everyone have to have a post-credit scene now?
I know, because it's just a way to keep people- I know.
It used to be special with Marvel.
That was the one franchise you could always count on, oh yeah, there's a post-credit scene
setting up the next MCU project.
But now it honestly feels like it's just become a joke.
And I hate it.
I think the post-credit scenes or the idea that a movie is going to have a post-credit
scene is to get people to sit through the credits.
And I like to sit through the credits just to show my appreciation for the people that
worked on the movies.
Oh yeah.
Frickin', do you remember the LEGO movie 2 with their credit song?
Please tell me you remember that song.
I do not remember that song.
Yeah, because they were like fricking talking how the end credits is like the best part.
It's like the part of the movie that you want to be on.
It's fricking amazing.
You should go back and listen to it, because it's the best song of that whole damn soundtrack.
Okay.
It's so fricking good.
But yeah, okay.
I guess I can take back my complaint of how nothing happened to him after what he did.
But okay, he got imprisoned.
Alright, I'll give the movie that.
They solved that problem for me.
Oh, dude.
So this is an interesting movie, because it is based extremely heavily on Blazing Saddles.
Now have you seen Blazing Saddles?
I have not, but after seeing this movie, it is on my list.
Actually not because of this movie.
Watching this movie didn't make me want to see it, knowing that it's heavily based on
this is kind of what makes me want to go back and watch it.
Do you know the plot of this?
Of Blazing Saddles?
No.
It's basically exactly this, except it's a cowboy instead of samurai.
That already sounds more entertaining.
Yeah, but it has...
Oh shit, what's this?
Hold on.
Gene Wilder is in it.
Ooh, okay, yeah, I'm already on board.
Mr. Willy Wonka himself.
Yeah.
So there's a bunch of people that it's based off of, or with Paws of Fury.
So it says Hank is based off of Sheriff Bart.
Jimbo is based off Jim the Wacko Kid, or the Waco Kid.
Ikachu is based off of Headley Lamar.
Mel Brooks is based off of Governor William J. Lepetomane, which is funny because that's
the character that he played in Blazing Saddles.
So Mel Brooks voiced the character that his character from Blazing Saddles was based off
of.
Okay, that's pretty funny.
And so there's just a bunch of comparisons that you can make through that.
So it's kind of fun in a way, like with that.
So I really want to watch Blazing Saddles now.
I want to see what it's on streaming then.
Or if it's on streaming, hopefully it is.
Looks like it is on Hulu.
There you go.
Yep.
Yeah, it looks like it's on Hulu, so definitely going to be checking that out.
Anyway, so starting off with story, obviously you had opinions on this.
But I, dude, I, all the things that I loved about this were mostly in the writing.
The story was kind of meh for me.
It was like very middle ground.
Do what?
Okay, so we can agree on that.
Yeah, it was very middle ground.
There wasn't anything outstanding about the story other than it being based off of Blazing
Saddles, which, whatever.
We're not comparing this to Blazing Saddles.
Even though that's another thing, I'm interested to see if we have the same feelings about
Blazing Saddles that we do about this movie.
Yeah, that'd be very interesting.
Yeah, so anyway, the whole idea that there's a land where dogs are not allowed to go and
this dog goes to become the samurai of this little town, or to become a samurai, which
is exactly how, from what I'm led to believe, Blazing Saddles is like.
Except it's a black guy that's coming into a town to be the sheriff.
Oh, okay.
And so it's kind of like a racial issue.
And I loved how they kind of turned that racial issue into a cats and dogs thing.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Yeah, it seems super funny.
Like just that idea.
But my issues with this story overall is, kind of has to do with Hank as a character.
He's lovable, but kind of gets real douchey.
Yeah, absolutely.
Considering after just one...
What was the big cat's name?
Sumo?
What was that?
Sumo?
What was his name?
Literally after he defeats him and frickin' didn't...
Oh my god, I'm horrible with these names.
Jimbo.
Didn't Jimbo have a lot to do with why he defeated him?
Dude, it wasn't even frickin'...
Did Hank even frickin' touch his ass?
No.
Hank was on Sumo's back, like kind of holding on for dear life while he was bucking like
a frickin' bull.
And then Jimbo comes and frickin' samurai swords an edamame bean into Sumo's mouth and
makes it close up.
So Hank didn't do shit.
I don't know why he thought he did anything against Sumo.
I thought that was so weird.
Yeah, and wasn't there at least one town...
No, wasn't there townsfolk in that scene?
A lot of the townsfolk were in there.
Yeah, so how did no one speak up beyond, oh no, I clearly saw Jimbo sword chuck a frickin'
bean into Sumo's throat.
Yeah, it's not like he was being discreet about it or anything where it like accidentally
felt like...
It would have made sense if like Sumo like slammed on something and a bean came flying
up into the air and then landed in his mouth while he was like doing some sort of like
yell while he was on him.
But it was just straight up Jimbo.
I don't know why was Jimbo not taking the credit for that or like pointing out like
yeah you didn't do shit dude.
Probably because I guess he was still...
What's the word?
I don't want to say sulking because that's kind of a mean thing to say.
He was still disappointed in himself I guess from...
I don't even frickin' know.
I can't really justify.
I'm not even gonna try to justify.
Yeah it's just it doesn't make...
It didn't make sense.
Like that whole interaction.
I will say Ikachu as a villain though kind of dug his plan.
Yeah I'll give you that.
It wasn't that bad of a plan.
I loved how he came out and was just like yeah I kind of outsmarted myself.
Like when Hank actually ended up being like not really a threat but just something that
the ninjas didn't want to go and face.
And he's like oh shit.
How did you feel about the whole Hank literally saying F you to the townsfolk and saying oh
you know what instead of preparing for Ikachu's...
Well okay he didn't know that Ikachu was bad but instead of preparing for the next battle
oh I'm gonna go with Ikachu and have some fun.
F you guys.
How did you feel about that?
I think it felt very out of character.
Absolutely agree.
I think like they tried really hard with that interaction with Sumo to make...
To give Hank like a big head to the point where he would go off and do that thing with
Ikachu.
But it felt so against his character.
It didn't feel like that's a decision Hank would have actually made.
Especially considering how badly he wanted to become a samurai.
It's like as soon as he signed up and filled out that contract it's like he forgot why
he signed up in the first place.
And just it didn't feel right.
Oh yeah straight up when that scene came on I'm like you know what I was somewhat starting
to like you but yeah no now you're just an asshole so I really don't give a shit about
you now.
Yeah right?
And it's so hard because it's like when he came back and the town was like in ruin he
basically like doubled down.
Dude when he's like literally just freaking like whistling into town to myself I'm just
saying you're a dick you're a dick you're a dick you're a dick.
I know well okay that whole thing it's like okay I understand like he it's supposed to
be a joke that he's walking into the ruins and not really like paying attention to it
until he like realizes what happened and then goes and then Jimbo like rips him a new ass
and then he's just like you know what forget you and then leaves.
But it's just he doubled down on his mistake and that was not good and it will be coming
up again in character development.
But good.
It's just like how it's like they almost they forgot who Hank was like the writers.
Yeah straight up.
And I'd be interested to see if maybe in Blazing Saddles if there if a situation like that
comes up where he like goes off to party and comes back and the towns in like shambles
or something and I'm willing to bet that if there is an instance like that that it's better
written why he doubles down.
That's what I'm hoping as well I'm hoping because it's for more so like a an adult audience
that they're able to and it just makes a lot more sense.
Yeah.
Because yeah like you said it's just literally out of left field it's so out of character.
Yeah it just doesn't it not good not not good at all.
But other than that I like I said they the story for me is as average as average can
get especially with all the the issues that I have so I'm not very high on the on my story.
Question is how high.
I'm probably at like a sixty nine.
I can't I'm not I'm not even going to crack 70.
I thought you were just going to crack a joke about it.
No I hate when I'm like six like because I'm very methodical about this like I know that
the difference between a 68 a 69 or 70 is not very much.
And so I hate using 69 if I can avoid it.
But yeah it's just I'm so I'm barely below like 70 is like a completely average movie.
This drops it down just just a hair.
So yeah 69 is where I'm at.
I'm a little lower.
I'm at a fifty five.
I'm just kidding.
What.
No I'm at a sixty five.
Shit.
All righty then.
All right moving on over to writing.
Writing is so infinitely higher.
Actually saying infinitely higher makes it sound like a lot.
It's it's it's much higher than the than the story for me.
The every joke that they had was freaking hilarious dude and I don't know as a cat lover
how you didn't like this.
I don't know what it was.
Yeah I know right.
Considering that frickin if you're looking at like movies like like Cats vs. Dogs like
it's all in favor of dogs like the cats are the enemies.
They're the evil ones in that franchise.
Whereas yeah this one like the dogs are are the assholes well not assholes but like they're
the ones that like are just like yes screw you guys.
Cats are where it's at which you know absolutely agree.
But just I don't know it just it just for some reason it just didn't do it for me.
Like I could have done without and I know like it's a kids movie and it's nothing no
one's seen before.
Like I could have done without the whole cat but joke like sumo's cat but yeah or the like
isn't there like a brief moment at the beginning where like like a towel gets pulled away from
a cat and you see their bear heinie.
Maybe I'm not recalling that one.
I could be wrong dude like I got to start off with the beginning.
When the title sequence came down so like it shows these these cats riding in on horseback
and then it's like the title card appears where it's like Paws of Fury like the Legend
of Hank and then the cats run into the freaking title and it like knocks them knocks them
out and like one guy starts to like sit up and then one of the letters falls on his head
and then they jump back on their horses and they're like where did that come from.
They're like the freaking title or department.
I laugh so freaking hard at that.
Okay I will admit I got a pretty good chuckle from that scene.
That was funny.
That that that that was clever.
Dude like it's the shit like that.
Like how.
Okay what about this when the freaking kids were coming in like trying to help Hank out
like initially before he like before Jimbo was his teacher or whatnot when the when their
parents came by and it's just like ew don't touch him sanitize your hands and then like
the freaking mommy cats are licking their hands.
So I didn't laugh at that for some reason.
Dude I thought that was so freaking funny.
It's just like one of those like super absurd jokes like I loved it.
I loved that joke like anything like cat related I freaking loved.
I'm seriously like because I don't think I watched this movie in a bad mood but considering
that you found cat jokes funny which I feel is a freaking miracle from you.
I don't find those jokes funny most of the time.
Like yeah anything like related to a cat like even like cat memes are really like hit and
miss with me.
But I don't it's just I don't know what it is dude like it's like it kind of hit the
same notes for me that Puss in Boots does.
Like when he like when Puss in Boots asked for a joke or clever though with their cat
jokes.
I don't know like the whole like the sanitizing thing where they're like licking their the
kids paws and then like it just kind of made me remember with Puss in Boots when he's like
at the bar and he asked for milk and they throw him the shot glass and he's just like
turns around like he's total badass and he's like I'm looking for Jack and Jill and then
starts like like licking the shot of milk.
Like I find that shit so funny like I don't know what it is with that.
It's just I love.
Did you what do you think about the joke with the cat that literally had to keep hiding
his having to go to the bathroom?
Like literally I think it only happens twice but you know squats and then literally uses
one of those brushes to clean up his cat area.
Oh like in the Zen Garden?
Yeah supposed to be a take on the litter box.
Was that supposed to be a joke?
No okay I don't think that's what he was I don't think he was using it as a litter box.
Oh like was he?
I don't think so.
I think no because remember like he was like leaving when the thugs were coming and so
he's like and like ran out and then he comes back and like does the whole like Zen Garden
thing.
Didn't he have a newspaper with him?
I don't think so I thought it was the rake.
I could have sworn that he had a newspaper with him.
He was like squat he was squat down and was reading a newspaper.
Okay I might be wrong on that one.
I could I could be wrong too.
Yeah I mean that joke I mean didn't really stand out to me in any way shape or form.
Yeah it's just kind of like a joke.
Like there was there was a decent amount of those but I feel like there was enough of
like the big jokes that made me laugh.
I will say freaking and it was in the trailer and it's just not funny.
The whole when it's Hank and what's his name?
Jumbo.
Ikachu?
Oh Ikachu.
Ikachu.
When they do the whole like running at each other with the swords and they miss and then
they do it again and then they do it again.
Yeah I'm not gonna lie I fast forwarded through that.
I thought it was funny the first two times.
I didn't think it was funny in the trailer and I especially didn't think it was funny
in the movie.
I thought it was funny because like it took me a second to realize what was happening.
I'm just like wait and then they did the top up shot of them on the the toilet bowl.
Like it's like they did it the first time and then they did the second time and I laughed
and then after that I was like okay you're you did this one too many times.
I thought that was that was really funny.
I loved how they freaking broke the fourth wall.
Like when they're when Hank is chasing Ikachu and it like splits to his palace and he like
grabs the middle bar and swings himself around into his palace and then Hank follows him
and then Jumbo stops and he's like what the then it like pans out and it's the theater
of people like screaming.
I don't know I just didn't laugh at that.
I feel I might need to revisit this movie because I don't know I might have been in
a bad mood.
I know you're like in a shit mood.
I don't know because usually we're not this different with movies.
Yeah I mean well so far with like the story we're pretty even like obviously you disliked
it a lot more than I did but.
Fair.
The writing the writing I'm not giving like a perfect score or anything like I'm I'm giving
some major props for those jokes that made me laugh.
Yeah.
But I'm not going like I'm not I don't even think I'm cracking the the high 80s like I'm
somewhere in like the mid mid range because of like some of the the not good dialogue
and the stuff that like felt like it went on too long.
Yeah.
Like I thought the whole conversation between Hank and Jimbo when Hank was saying like oh
I need like a wise old master and blah blah blah blah blah and all this and then like
the sign drops down and I thought that was going to be funny but it fell so flat because
of how long Hank was talking.
Well and also I mean they they spoiled that joke in the trailer.
Yeah but it's it's not even that like.
Oh really.
I think the joke could have landed.
It's just that it it went he was just monologuing too long like talking about like it's like
they they took too much of an effort to try and break the fourth wall and it just ended
up making the joke fall flat.
Yeah fair enough.
Like I think it would have been almost funny or had the sign fallen down while he was talking
or just.
Yeah I can I can agree with that.
Like maybe like all the things that he was bringing up if a different sign fell and then
Jimbo's like ripping them down or throwing them away or just something.
Yeah I think something like that would have landed a lot better.
But it's just.
Yeah he was talking too long and just ruined the joke.
So where are you at with writing.
Because like we said you did not like it.
Oh no I might be like a tad above story but like not much.
So I'll go a 70.
Yeah I'm going a little higher than than you.
I think I'm going to go to like an 80.
Three.
I feel that's substantially higher.
Substantially.
That's a whole other letter grade than me.
I mean you're not wrong.
That's a couple letter grades higher.
Yeah true.
Yeah good point.
Oh all right moving on over to acting.
We had a pretty decent cast.
First we had Michael Cera who voiced Hank.
Samuel L Jackson who voiced Jimbo.
Ricky Gervais who voiced Ikachu.
Mel Brooks who voiced the Shogun.
George Takai who voiced Oga.
And then maybe Juman Hounsou who voiced Sumo.
So let's see.
I'm pretty sure like I have an idea of who your top three are.
But let's hear them.
Number three.
Number three I would actually give to Samuel Jackson.
Interesting.
To Michael Cera.
And then number one Ricky Gervais because I can tell that at least from the way he was
doing his lines it seemed like he was having a good time and for that I had a decent time
with his character.
So dude Ricky Gervais is like a conundrum.
Oh yeah he absolutely is.
He does like so much like kid stuff and then he does so much raunchy adult stuff.
It's like there's no middle ground.
But I love Ricky Gervais so freaking much.
Like I forget which event he hosted.
I think it might have been like the Oscars or something.
But it was like the last time that he hosted he was roasting the shit out of everyone.
I forget who it was.
It was either Beth or DJ sent me the video of him doing that.
And it's just every time I hear it it's just so freaking rough.
Like it's so funny though.
It is so funny.
Like there was one joke that he was making about Leonardo DiCaprio and his dating life.
And he's like yeah he brought a date but by the time this thing's over his date will be
too old for him.
Oh damn.
I'm like shoot.
God damn.
I freaking love him.
But honestly I might have to agree with you on the top three.
Really?
Yeah.
I was actually going to swap.
I was thinking about maybe swapping Ricky Gervais and Michael Cera for like the top
spot but I think Ricky Gervais sold the villain a bit better than Hank or than Michael Cera
did with the hero.
Michael Cera has such an interesting voice.
It doesn't like project well.
Like I know that he's supposed to be kind of like a goofy dog character but it's just
his voice is just so soft and like mellow.
I feel if I had to like think of a perfect voice acting role that Michael Cera has done
it would absolutely be him as Robin in the Lego Batman movie.
Oh my gosh.
His Robin was so good.
Yeah.
But this one was kind of just it was alright.
Yeah it's like I don't know where it like sits with like the other stuff that Michael
Cera's done.
It's definitely below Robin though.
Oh absolutely.
Like his Robin was awesome.
I was shocked to know that he was voicing Robin.
Yeah but he did such a great job.
It's just because he's so soft spoken all the time and then in this like he did have
some moments of like really good inflection and enthusiasm to his voice but most of the
time it was very like I like I mean I had the subtitles on anyway but there was a lot
of times that I was like glad that I had them on because of how softly he was like speaking.
Yeah dude I swear I can't watch a movie now without subtitles.
I don't know what it is.
Yeah I'm at that point.
Yeah like and I remember when I was younger I used to be like oh subtitles ruin movies.
I don't know how people can watch them with them and I've become one of those people.
Yeah being deaf is how people.
Okay that's true.
Okay minus the unfortunate people that are deaf how other people that are just like oh
you know I want the subtitles on just in case I miss something they say.
You never realize how much you miss.
Oh dude straight up because like seriously like nowadays like if I go see a movie in
theaters and like I miss a line I'm like ah damn well you know at least when it comes
to streaming I can put on subtitles to catch it then.
Yeah dude that's how I feel too.
Oh man but yeah I was I was almost going to disagree with you on Samuel L Jackson being
number three but thinking about it a bit more it's just it's Samuel L Jackson doing Samuel
L Jackson.
Exactly.
As much as I love the guy it's just the same old same old like there is literally no difference
between his voice as Nick Fury versus Jules from Pulp Fiction versus Jimbo from this one.
Like there's no freaking difference.
Like the most voice work that he's ever done was giving himself a lisp in The Kingsman.
That's so true.
I forgot about that.
Everything else though it's just been him and it's like I'm not complaining but for
an animated movie this is kind of I know that this is kind of like a soft not a soft topic
a sore spot for some voice actors.
I wish that they would get voice actors to do big budget movies like this.
I agree because I know a lot of people are just like oh but we want that big name talent
to be able to put on the poster and sell movie tickets.
Why?
Yeah because a lot of the times and nothing against these actors their voices don't belong
with the character.
It just doesn't work.
Like at all.
Yeah.
It literally just oh all I hear is Samuel L Jackson.
I don't hear this character.
Yeah.
That's ridiculous and those people that work as hard as they do to hone their craft like
they're taking on more jobs than actors do and so they're working constantly to like
master their craft come up with new voices and there's go-to people for those voices.
Exactly.
And it's insane.
Like you may not know the like with any given voice actor you may not know their names but
you know their voice.
Yep.
And it's insane to me that they're not given more work at least with bigger budget stuff.
Like I wish that they would that they would be given that opportunity because I think
you can improve the quality of animated movies tenfold if you stopped worrying about who
is going in the credits.
Sorry.
You're good.
Dude I don't know if I've ever seen you that upset before.
Apparently you really you okay you really don't know me behind closed doors then.
For those of you that are confused Rose just just ripped his cat a new one.
I was up on the kitchen counter.
Little shit.
Yeah you know you're in trouble.
Oh man that was funny.
Oh boy.
Oh shit.
You know honestly no so just so is that like you said like oh I don't think I've ever seen
you that angry honestly the same thing I've never seen you that angry so.
I don't really get that angry.
True.
Well I mean I don't know what happens behind closed I don't know from for how long I've
known you I know it takes a lot to make you super angry for me it just depends I mean
it does take a lot to make me angry but it also depends on the person.
Yep totally get no if you know you know.
Wink wink wink wink.
Anyway getting back to acting yeah I.
I totally wish that the that studios would get away from wanting to use big actors because
think about this to agree with Pixar movies like just getting back to our previous conversation
how much money would studios save if they used voice actors versus like big name celebrities
to voice their their characters.
That's a good point.
I mean hell freaking like turning red the only person big name that they had for that
movie was Sandra Oh.
Yeah other other than that it was just.
And that movie was fantastic.
Yeah great voice acting.
Yeah so freaking that good call out.
Thank you.
But yeah like how much like how much better would animated movies be if they hired like
legitimate voice actors.
Now I understand like maybe having one big name for like a selling point or whatever
but you don't need the whole cast to be big named actresses or actors.
Yeah like.
I'm going through the list right now like you did not need George to tie in this.
No like you didn't need freaking Gabriel Iglesias either or Jemon Hounsou or however you say
his name or Michelle Yeo.
Like those are characters that you did not freaking need.
Yeah I agree.
Like you could have saved so much money had you just cut those three out or four.
Like Mel Brooks obviously like he helped write Blazing Saddles and helped write this movie.
So I feel he's earned.
Yeah like there's some like completely understandable like Mel Brooks like if you would have wanted
to include anyone else from Blazing Saddles like have at it.
Yeah that'd be awesome.
But you could have gotten away with not doing using the main three at least.
Yeah.
And it sucks.
It truly sucks and I hope that eventually studios will get their heads out of their
ass and realize that just because you can act doesn't mean you can voice act.
Thank you because it is in a completely completely different playing field.
It is so much harder to be able to convey emotion only through your voice instead of
being able to not only do it through your voice but also the actions with your body.
Yeah exactly.
The one thing that like really solidified my opinion on that is the legend of Vox Machina
on Amazon.
So it's based off of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign that somewhat so it's called Critical
Role.
Like that's the name of the podcast.
So it started off as a podcast and they animated the entire first season of their podcast to
be a like a 12 13 episode long series on Amazon.
And what's great about it is everyone in Critical Role is a voice actor right?
And they are the ones that voiced their characters in the show.
Oh that's awesome.
Yeah so like the only one that they didn't like that didn't voice a character was like
the guy who was Dungeon Master.
So he did some like additional voices and whatnot.
So he didn't have like a main character that he voiced but yeah like how cool is that?
That is badass.
So unfortunately with this movie being voiced by like big stars I don't think that their
performance was as good.
I agree.
So that being said I mean they didn't do horrible jobs.
Like I'm not ripping into their abilities to voice characters but it was fairly average
for me.
Like I'm sitting at maybe I'm barely cracking 80 here.
I'm not even cracking 80.
I'm going solid.
75?
Yeah.
I'm barely cracking that 80 so I'll keep it at 80.
Alright moving on over to character development which we obviously have to do the development
of Hank.
So Hank starts off coming into this land of cats wanting to become or with dreams and
aspirations of becoming a samurai.
He is declared the town samurai of whatever the hell the town's name is.
Kakamocho?
Yeah.
And he slowly gets trained by Jimbo the cat and is slowly accepted as the samurai of this
town.
But through that he's told all of like the virtues of being a samurai and goes back on
nearly like every single one of them.
Yep.
So Jimbo tells him that he needs to be brave, always help others, and he cannot seek fame
or glory as a samurai.
You threw that out the window.
Yeah and he does all of that.
Like he freaking runs away until he realizes like I can't abandon these people.
Like I'm a good boy.
I'm too loyal because I'm a dog.
Get it?
Yeah like that joke didn't land whatsoever.
But by the end of it, it's kind of like you can't really tell where he went.
It's just like he started off as a student and was working towards becoming a full blown
samurai.
Then he goes into a freaking shit storm when he abandons them to go party and then comes
back and kind of doubles down on his mistake and then realizes oh maybe I'm wrong and goes
back and helps defend the town.
And it's just very blech.
That's the only way that I can explain this.
Perfect way to explain it.
Yeah.
As funny as I thought this whole situation was, his growth could have been so much better.
What killed it is his doubling down on his mistake of going to party the night before.
If you want him to go party it up, by all means go have him party it up.
But don't have him come back being all indignant being like I freaking earned that shit.
Yeah that was absolute bullshit.
I've earned having fun.
Like did you?
Because you didn't do dick.
Yeah exactly.
Like you freaking rode Sumo like he was a damn mechanical bull and then someone turned
him off with edamame beans because they closed his freaking throat.
Like you didn't do shit dude.
And just the fact that he thought that he did do something really pisses me off.
Dude same.
Made me hate his character even more.
Maybe not hate his character but maybe.
He's probably the most unlikable dog character.
Dude I would absolutely agree.
Yeah so not very good development whatsoever.
Like I will say this he does kind of redeem himself a little bit when he refuses the samurai
position of the town and then gives it to someone that actually like somewhat deserves
it.
Yeah even though she's a little kid.
Yeah and then he goes back to like training and it's just it didn't feel good.
Agreed.
Like I think something that would have worked out probably just as well with this like is
if he like if you take into consideration the doubling down I think something that would
have really improved his arc would be to take the sword and then to offer it to Jimbo but
not like offer it being like here this sword is yours.
I would have been like have him give it to Jimbo and then say like I want you to give
this to me when you feel that I'm ready for it.
Yeah I think that would have been a lot better.
Yeah it would just shown some growth that like yes I'm not ready to be a samurai but
don't pawn it off to a freaking kid like especially like a kid that we didn't see do a whole lot
of stuff.
Yeah.
Like she was in it a little bit and this is another thing that I'm wondering if there was
a reference to Blazing Saddles with that character.
Yeah I'm wondering that too.
Full side note though a joke that I kind of laughed at a lot but totally like forgot to
bring up with her was when she was like looking for the smoke signals and they're like holy
shit there's a ton of them.
That was funny.
Yeah.
That got a good giggle out of me.
Yeah.
Obviously so they censored the the holy shit part it's just a whole bunch of symbols.
There's a ton of them.
Yeah.
Then she says like they're coming.
So I thought that was really funny but getting back to my character development.
Not very high unfortunately.
I'm like a 70 maybe barely that's like barely a 70.
Yeah.
It's mostly because I don't want to go to like a 68 or 69 again.
You know what I'll match you on that one.
Alright next up we got effects.
I mean it's no Pixar but it's alright.
Yeah it's it's decent like I really like the stylized animation that they had when they
were doing Hank's flashback to like the whole samurai interaction.
It kind of felt very Sin City to me.
It did freaking the opening animation like doing the credits.
That was actually really cool.
Yeah.
Yeah so kind of got to give props there.
The rest of it though like the normal day to day or like the every like the normal stuff
that felt ooh Chicken Little.
Oh yeah that's a great comparison.
That's the type of like movement that they had.
It was very like animated very quick movement.
Like it felt like freaking Chicken Little.
Like even Hank like Hank looks straight like ripped out of Chicken Little.
Yeah dude straight up.
Really did.
Oh my god yeah he really did.
So it I mean that being said it wasn't bad animation it's just I love the stylized stuff
like so give them some major props for the stylized portions.
Like you said the beginning and the that one flashback scene which another really funny
joke with like the projector.
Yeah that got me a little chuckle.
Yeah that's the word.
I was gonna say giggle but I don't want to go for that chuckle.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Personally this is probably my highest and like an eighty eighty seven maybe.
Okay I'm not gonna go that high.
I'll go an eighty.
So what brought it down for you then?
Just for I don't know some of the stuff I wasn't the biggest fan of how was animated
because like I don't know the way that some of the characters were animated just didn't
look that great to me.
Like like you comparing it to Chicken Little like really set it into stone that I'm just
like you know the animation was decent but it's not great.
Yeah.
Yeah it's it's a tough one because it's like you have nothing else to compare it to like
other than other animated movies and that kind of feels unfair.
Fair enough.
But it's yeah it's just this movie felt like it should have come out in the like sometime
in like the 2010s maybe even before then.
Yeah I would agree.
Like this kind of like I would imagine this movie coming out maybe three years after Chicken
Little.
Like that's where like my mind would put it.
Yeah okay.
See that.
Yeah.
All right moving on over to music.
The opening music was awesome.
Yeah that was pretty badass.
Yeah unfortunately the rest of the soundtrack wasn't.
Yeah it was mediocre.
Very mediocre.
I think mine if you were to subtract the opening song I would probably be at like a five because
it's just how average the soundtrack was.
But I think with the opening song being as good as it was I'm kind of leaning more towards
it like a seven but I can easily be talked down to a six.
I was honestly leaning towards a seven just for how good that opening was.
All right so a seven.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
All right next up we got costumes which for this animated movie will be like the character
design and I think they had like we said with Hank felt very ripped out of Chicken Little.
Yes.
I can't remember if there were a lot of cats in Chicken Little.
Not that I can recall.
Yeah so can't relate that to them.
For the most part they looked good.
I did appreciate that you know you really didn't see any cat that looked alike.
They were all different in their own way which I did actually I did actually really appreciate
that.
Yeah like that must have taken a lot of work to go through like each cat and redesign them.
Like the only ones that looked the same were the ones that you would kind of expect to
look the same like the ninjas.
That's true yeah that's true.
Like those ones all kind of looked similar but all the ones in the village like there
were not very many that looked similar.
Like if they did look similar it was just in like a build.
Yeah like it was more like tall skinny.
Like that was kind of like their default and then they throw in like the short ones the
short stocky.
Like they kind of had like a really good variation.
There were some like I'm talking specifically about Jimbo.
I did not love his design.
I think that made him like too fat.
I kind of agree with that.
Like it's almost like they made him too...
I think what like with that design they ruined for themselves the believability that the
audience would have in him being like a good samurai.
Fair enough.
Yeah because it's like I like even when he was like performing these really cool epic
feats of swordsmanship it was so hard for me to like set aside that that disbelief.
Like bullshit.
I was thinking that a lot anytime he was doing stuff.
And like I understand that this is a kid's movie and whatnot but still like you kind
of with someone that's skilled you want a different figure.
It's just he was overly heavy.
It was like watching Garfield do like yoga or some shit and be good at it.
Yeah you know fair enough.
Like I would have preferred a slightly stockier build instead.
Like if you would have just shrunk down how the first samurai of Kakamuchu looked.
Like where it's like the kind of a classic build where it's like very like a more slender
stomach with like a big bigger chest.
I think that would have helped my belief a little bit.
Like if you wanted to give him a gut like give him a gut but don't give him a freaking
like freaking fatty stomach.
Yeah fair enough.
So yeah with with costumes.
This one's tough because it's like you can obviously tell like the silhouette their silhouettes
are good.
So shit I might I might be at an eight.
I can give you an eight.
Yeah I mean it's tough to it's tough for me to go lower because of how well they were
able to design everyone else.
And then it's just fair enough they were good.
Like you can't like that's one thing we can argue here with like if something's good it's
good.
That's true.
All right personal scores.
I will take this one first just okay.
I had a really good time watching this movie.
I felt it was a pleasant surprise.
It was a lot better than I assumed it was going to be.
Like I we kind of chose this movie as like the last minute like hey we need to come up
with something to talk about like yesterday.
And and we came up with this is like because I was scrolling through Paramount was like
hey we were going to do this other thing but it ended up being a limited series on Netflix
and we don't do those.
So yeah like I said had a great time with it.
I thought it was really enjoyable.
There's lots of funny dialogue and like there's a lot of good to take from this.
But unfortunately it's just in ways of animated movies I think that it had a lot to be desired.
Just like when you start getting into like the nitty gritty of it like the story was
just not good.
So with that I think I'm going to be giving this a 78.
What about you?
For me I had honestly just an all right time with this movie.
I will admit Caleb has talked me up a little bit with my score.
So kudos to you for that.
But yeah like you said the story is just it's all right it's not that good.
I do agree it does have some good what did you say it wasn't good ideas but good lessons
is that what you said?
You said I forget what you said.
I did too.
But yeah this movie is really bogged down by its story.
Just yeah like considering this is based off Blazing Saddles or a kids version of Blazing
Saddles I really want to watch that now to see if I like that a lot better than this
or if I feel the same.
I hope I don't feel the same.
I want to watch it and make it one of my many recommendations.
So with that I will go a solid 70.
You should be proud Caleb you talked me up from the 60s.
From the 60s?
Shit.
Yeah dude I was in the 60s.
You really did not like this movie.
No I did not.
But can we talk about Mr. Caleb Alvarez how you gave this movie only one point lower than
you gave Mr. Peabody and Sherman.
I can't believe you.
Well I can.
Wow.
Just wow.
You think you know someone guys.
You think you know someone.
Oh I know and then they pull some shit like that.
Alright well going through our scores really quick.
Our story did not bring this movie to a very strong start whatsoever.
And so it averaged out to a 67.
It was slightly improved by the writing which got brought up to a 76.5.
Acting was just like right in line with there sitting at a 77.5.
Character development got dropped down significantly down to a 70.
The effects averaged out to an 83.5 and honestly that's probably the best part of this movie.
Actually it is the best part of this movie according to our scores.
The music although most of it was pretty average it was brought up a decent amount from because
of the opening sequence which brought it or yeah which was we were sitting at a 7 with
that.
Costumes or the character design was pretty good overall.
So we're sitting at an 8 with that.
And then with our personal score me liking it just a little bit more than Rose did we
are sitting at a 74 with that.
And with all of those scores the final Albrose letter grade for Paws of Fury the Legend of
Hank has come to a C+.
Really it got that high?
It didn't score that high.
It's sitting at like so it's sitting at a 76.68% so it's one of our lower C+.
Alright I'll accept that.
Such a dick to this movie.
I know freaking hell dude.
So let's see where it compares with our other movies.
Our other C+.
Definitely on the lower end.
Oh it is like it barely got into our C+.
It's second from the bottom.
Damn.
At least in ways of C+.
So let's let me pull up the other C movies because I'll have to do that.
Alright so like I said Paws of Fury is sitting at a 76.68% which puts it below Unhinged which
is at a 76.87.
Puts it below the Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard which is at a 76.91.
Puts it below the Boondock Saints which is at a 77.12.
Puts it below the Stranger's Pray at Night which is at a 77.18.
And then finally puts it below the Lost City which is at a 77.25.
Going the opposite direction.
It is above Stone Cold which was at a 76.5.
And then all of these other movies that I'm about to list off are in our C range.
So these are not C+.
The ones I listed before were.
These ones are not.
So first it's above My Spy which is at a 75.87.
It is above Cheaper by the Dozen the 2022 version which is at a 75.56.
It is also above The Addams Family which is at a 75.45.
And then finally it is above Ant-Man and the Wasp which is at a 75.33.
I had no idea Ant-Man and the Wasp was that low.
Yup.
Well alright.
So yeah, that's where it's at.
I mean I don't think it's a decent home.
Let me see what other animated movies are in our C-plus range.
Because so far most of the other ones are live action movies.
I mean you had The Addams Family.
Yeah, well that one's in our C range.
Oh.
Yeah, so The Addams Family.
It's close.
They are really close to each other.
How come I probably like The Addams Family more?
Yeah, it's slightly more than 1%.
Like Ant-Man and the Wasp is at 75.33.
Positive Fury is at a 76.68.
So it's like 1.3% difference.
Alright.
But for C-plus, the closest one, like animated movie...
Oh that's not even animated.
I thought that was the old one.
I thought it was Aladdin.
The closest animated movie in the C-plus range is The Crudes and New Age.
Oh shit, wow.
But it's like significantly higher.
As significant as you can get being in like one grade category.
Oh okay.
So yeah, Positive Fury is 76.68.
Oh it's a 3% difference.
So with The Crudes, because The Crudes and New Age is at a 79.68.
Okay.
Alright.
So, definitely agree with that one.
I like The Crudes and New Age a lot more than I liked this one.
Same here.
But yeah, so that's where it's sitting.
