Not quite as bad as some of the reviews might suggest but in this over saturated genre of cg animated family movies it leaves much to be desired. The jokes fell flat, the voice casting felt off and the screenplay was dull. Overall it feltNot quite as bad as some of the reviews might suggest but in this over saturated genre of cg animated family movies it leaves much to be desired. The jokes fell flat, the voice casting felt off and the screenplay was dull. Overall it felt like a cheap imitation of Kung Fu Panda with a significantly weaker writing staff. Still for 85 minutes of colourful entertainment you could do worse.… Expand

It was not as good as some other movies about kung fu or fighting in anime like Kung fu Panda maybe, but I did enjoy it for most of it. Felt a bit cheapish at times though and like something missing from the story, but I think it was overall ok.

If you've seen Kung Fu Panda a couple of times, go watch it again instead of watching this. This is an inferior Kung Fu Panda (which was, itself, flawed) and an inferior Blazing Saddles.

This is an inferior Kung Fu Panda (which was, itself, flawed) and an inferior Blazing Saddles. It isn't terrible but it ultimately doesn't justify it's existence.

Ricky Gervais is awful in this. He honestly might be the world's worst (highly successful) comedic actor. Probably not, but he's up there. It's hard to say if Paws of Fury is his worst performance. He's just Ricky Gervais, like back on his podcast. Like you just called him up on the phone and he read the script to you.

I'm going to say it: Mel Brooks wasn't that funny back when he was in his prime. Blazing Saddles hasn't aged well. Comedy doesn't age well, in general. It would be a miracle if 90+ year old Mel Brooks was funny. He's a legend and this is nostalgia blurring what does and doesn't work.

They should focus on making a film that kids really engage with, rather than trying to emulate the comedic stylings of a man who was in his prime 50 years ago.

It sounds like I hated the film. I didn't hate it. It's completely forgettable but passable entertainment. Not a lot of laughs. Michael Cera and Samuel L Jackson are good. It has some charm.… Expand
