What If Blazing Saddles Were Made Today...and It Sucked | Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank Review

What if you take one of the greatest comedies by Mel Brooks and turning into a forgettable and completely bland kids flick?

Dear Lord, if you plan for Mel Brooks’ time to come this year, please don’t let this be his final body of work. 🙏

I honestly had no interest in seeing this movie, and it looks like I made the right decision, the main issue is that they just made this into a bland and generic kids flick with a poorly made story, decent at best animation and characters that feel like they don’t have a personality, it had an interesting concept but it just wasted it, and I think it’s safe to say that the years of waiting for this movie was not worth it, even when it used to be called Blazing Samurai, seriously all I can ask is why would I watch this when I can just watch Blazing Saddles which is a far better and far better version of this film. Also this is definitely a case where the production that this film went through is a lot more fascinating and a lot more interesting than the actual movie itself.

Had absolutely no interest in this movie, though call me curious for wanting to check out Blazing Saddled. As for the short that came before it, it’s apparently a Paramount+ original show. Been getting an ad claiming that it’s a hit, though I’ve seen no one ever talk about the show so I have my doubts.

After watching this film especially how it went through production hell throughout the years, this movie sucked. I never seen Blazing Saddled myself but I’m aware it is one of his memorable films alongside Spaceballs and The Producers, but if I did, I would be pissed with how much this animated flick was inferior to the original. For the movie itself, I find it so bland that it makes me want to see the original or rewatch Kung Fu Panda as a better alternative to forget that experience. From the story, writing, animation, characters, humor, visuals, etc. it makes the whole movie boring to watch. For positives, some voice acting, some visuals moments, and some jokes that does feel like something Mel Brooks would do when he was younger. For the Big Nate short, since the movie is technically a Nickelodeon film as they and Paramount bought the film rights, I thought it was weird and crazy as I never heard of the new Nickelodeon series before and it left me thinking, “What just happened?”. I mean the animation looked cute but don’t know if I want to check this animated show that I don’t see anyone talking about it right now but I can’t blame you when you and that woman you were sitting next feel weird about it. For the movie, it sucked and Rob Minkoff’s worst film since the Haunted Mansion since he directed this film and I too would give it a 4/10 as well. Even though Paramount Pictures is already having a great year so far with their films especially with Top Gun Maverick, but Paws of Fury is probably the only film that will consider a flop for Paramount so far.

I saw a review from a fan of the original “Big Nate” novels. He loathed the series for not being faithful to the books in most respects.

Tbh the idea of retelling Blazing Saddles for kids was not a very good one to begin with. The film is so raunchy that it’s almost impossible to make it family-friendly without dumbing down the elements that made it such a classic.

I think I saw Just Stop’s review, but I don’t remember exactly what he thought about it.

It might just be me, Mat, but is the Seal of Garbage brighter than usual?

So I remember they showed the trailer for this at Fan Expo Denver before panels would begin, and at one point, a fan behind me had the husband go, “This looks awesome!” While the wife went, “no this looks dumb as hell.” Well, safe to say the wife was right in this case. Funny enough, the husband and son said DC Super Pets looked stupid judging by the trailer, and while I do agree that the trailers for that movie don’t make it look good, after seeing this, it might not be as stupid as the trailers make it look, but we’ll just have to wait and see for that one

When I saw the trailer for this movie, I had no interest. And after hearing your review in the story section Mat, it made me go, why would I watch this when I can go watch Zootopia. I know that is an unfair statement but when in comparison to Blazing Saddles which had that commentary I just couldn't help but make that statement. And also the jokes from what I got in the trailer never really sold me to want to watch this.
