THE BAD GUYS (2022) | Movie review | Is it worth watching?

Movie rating:- 🌟🌟🌟

 About this movie:-

The Bad Guys - based on the children's book series by Aaron Blabey - is a hugely enjoyable, impeccably animated and thoroughly satisfying film that ticks all the required boxes of a children's film while still having room for style and swagger.

It's a morality tale about five crooks trying to walk the straight and narrow, but we all know how easy it is. The best point about The Bad Guys is that it doesn't shy away from this ambiguity or ambivalence, acknowledging that people are fallible and often screw up. But it's in trying to set the record straight and come to terms with its flaws that this story feels so much more... well, human. Which is odd, of course – considering the five crooks are decidedly not human.

Of course, the animation and voice acting have a lot to do with how well we feel about this movie. You can't help but notice that Mr. Wolf is dressed just like George Clooney's Jack Foley in Out of Sight, nor can you avoid the camaraderie that's clearly exhorted from the ocean crew. Fans of these films (and similar ones) will easily pick up on the smooth voice of Sam Rockwell and the weary gruffness of Marc Maron when they hear characters that have graced similar films in the past. That's another part of the beauty of The Bad Guys; it is not just a movie for children with good lessons and colorful pictures. People of all ages are welcome in this world because Perifel makes sure that there is something for everyone and that we can feel the good vibes that this movie wants to throw at us.

The character models are also very expressive, which only brings to life the banter and disagreements between the crew, specifically the engaging performances of Sam Rockwell and Marc Maron. Daniel Pemberton's original score also has a poignant melodic edge that works despite the basic plot structure. Bad Guys may not last forever and become an animated blockbuster, but it has themes in mind that are useful for kids and adults alike. Sure, it's a cheap Zootopia, but given the unfathomable camaraderie between the dubbing ensemble and the commendable artistic direction, there's enough good to leave with a grin and a smile.

Some plots:-

Several reformed but misunderstood criminal animals attempt to become good, with some disastrous results. Full disclosure, I was a little scared of The Bad Guys. I try not to, but every once in a while something slips in that is destined to be bad. Based on a series of books by Aaron Blabey, my first impression of The Bad Guys suggested the next lowest common denominator (which insults children's intelligence as much as adults) is a story about talking animals that would result in a mishmash of singing and toilet humor and no inspiration. conspiracy. To be fair, some of the comedy is rather simple and cringe-worthy, but the script itself, by Etan Cohen (the writer of such infamous thinkers as Holmes and Watson, only reinforced my skepticism about the quality before watching) surprisingly does not shy away from more serious elements, such as dealing with stereotypes, the fact , that people need a chance to thrive in life to bring out the good, penal reform, and how outgrowing certain personality traits can cause certain dysfunction in a larger group of friends. It's not a great script by any means, but it's certainly not a lazy script.

If the ultimate message of The Bad Guys is don't judge a book by its cover, it's almost fitting that an enjoyable all-ages experience comes from a writer most associated with embarrassingly juvenile comedies. You go to a movie review; you leave wanting to further apply those lessons to the way you approach cinema as a whole.

The titular band of thieving villains at the center of the narrative also know what it's like to be judged. Nameless except for their own kind, they are led by Wolf (Sam Rockwell, gone mad), a conflicted career kleptomaniac who seriously considers transitioning to a lifestyle of good after a brief flurry of flattery following his inadvertent rescue of an old lady from falling down a flight of stairs (he was trying to steal for jewelry). His partners in crime are Snake (cruel and self-loathing Marc Maron, who has found an abundance of diabolical chemistry among his teammates), Tarantula (a tech expert and hacker voiced. voiced by Craig Robinson) and Piranha (a short and short-tempered brawler voiced by Anthony Ramos). Their next mission: a Good Samaritan heist posed by the infinitely kind guinea pig Professor Marmalade (Richard Ayoade), who stopped wars and united the world after the crash of the Love Crater meteorite and several charity events.

There are some hiccups in the works, mainly because Wolf is caught wagging his tail and feels like a "good boy" for the first time. His crush on Governor Fox (Zazie Beetz) only pushes him further towards the path of good, as he is shown to have a soft heart and a secret of his own (as he says, foxes and wolves are not so different). As a result of this screw up, they are arrested by local cop Misty Luggins (Alex Borstein of Family Guy fame and more), who is so determined to put them down that it's basically her life's goal. Suddenly, Professor Marmalade comes up with an idea that offers a chance for reform; he takes the rebels under his wing (or fur, I guess) and teaches them the ways of nobility and honor.

It would be as delusional as any of these anthropomorphic animals themselves to say that The Bad Guys isn't easy to read and predict, but it finds an irresistible charm thanks to its impressively blending animation styles (Pierre Perifel makes his feature-length directorial debut, e.g. previously working as animator on venerable projects such as the Kung Fu Panda series), which lends some of the action sequences a graphically fresh touch (especially the fast-paced hand-to-hand combat segments). He's also not afraid to acknowledge and teach kids about stereotypes and how people should be judged for their actions, and how acts of generosity are something an individual does to feel good about themselves, just like selfless behavior.

What people are saying about this movie 🍿- 

 1) Great characters, some real LOL moments and a nice, funny and cohesive story. Great liveliness and sound. At 100 split seconds it felt a bit long, presumably due to pungency, although there was a fun twist. 

 2) A largely amusing villain/ good guys story that's sweet for all periods! The colors are so vibrant throughout and pleasing in character; I put the actors involved had a lot of fun. Bad Guys are great stealers for good or bad reasons with the support of drive pops and lifelong buddies. I loved it further than I could have imagined! The soundtrack is amazing and the story flows veritably well, I recommend it to everyone. 

 3) This is a fun unconcerned vitality. The story is funny and cute at times. The humor is to my taste indeed if some of the jokes are predictable, they're still well- placed and well- executed. I tête-à-tête liked the art style combining 3D vitality with ridiculous book 2D delineations. laurels to the animators, the characters' faces were veritably suggestive. 

( 4) Please forgive the terrible joke. This is a enough good family movie with a great cast and a fun story. I like the vitality style, it's nearly like a combination of realistic and cartoony. Some aspects look hand- drawn, while others look like real prints with a cartoon effect. I do not suppose I have seen anything like it.
