Brendan Fraser, once a promising Hollywood actor has been forced to star in the only type of movies that'll have him anymore. And that type seems to be empty headed family comedies. Furry Vengeance aims and misses with each gag and joke on practically every level. We're given generic characters who bring nothing to the humour of the film. Though the film did have one or two 'so bad that its good moments, it wasn't enough to excuse the time being wasted on watching it. Nothing can really be said about this piece of trash. If seeing annoying, lifeless animals torment Brendan Fraser is your thing, then you're good to go. Otherwise, it is not worth the while. Let us all share a moment of silence for Fraser's dead career.
Furry vengeance is a "comedy" movie starring Branden Fraser revolves around his character and his failing career as a property developer who's life is ruined by animals,this movie is one of those movies you can only watch at least once only with the company of friends or anyone that wants to sit through this that wants to be annoyed or frustrated,this movie was a bland,tasteless boring film with dry slapstick "comedy" and no real point to the plot or in general.PlotThe plot or lack there of is presented to the viewer in such a bland and dry tone,the bland and lifeless characters inhabiting this world leads the plot into an almost limbo like state of dry slap stick humour filled film,the main concept of the film is a simplistic and basis idea of animals attack man,man attacks animals in an almost as a tom and Jerry type of way,unlike Tom and Jerry this film lacks the comedic value and relies on factors such as Brandon Fraser's face acting.To be honest i really don't have an idea of what the point of the plot was that was shown to me even struggling to watch it again for this review,the only moment of levity in this film is the script and how primal it actually was showing an almost immature nature to the whole thing.charactersThe discussion of the characters is one aspect of this film that really annoys me and would rather avoid ranting but for the sake of this i will discuss it. the topic of characters for me is a big thing and would rather watch natural, sympathetic characters with real relatablity and emotion to follow and root for them, but many films in recent years have not supplied that which is a major deal in my opinion, the point of characters is for the viewer to experience the world that they inhabit but also follow their actions and propel the plot forward to their ultimate goal,that is not the case with this film and pretty much just ignores that factor.The main problem i have with these characters is that they are bland,bland is one of the worst things your characters can be for the sake of the audience and gives absolutely no relatablity factor which doesn't allow for much character development as well.OverallAlthough this film have moments of levity of how stupid it can actually get this film was not enjoyable in anyway and i really wouldn't recommend watching this under any circumstance,maybe with some friends this movie could be enjoyable but in my personal opinion i really disliked this due to the idiotic slapstick humour and really primal script. 1 out of 10
Here is the problem in a nutshell, the reason so many people diss this movie and similar movies. It is because more and more parents, as each year passes, simply do not involve themselves with their children in the manner parents used to be involved. Teaching them how to use tablets and iPhones is not the same thing as playing board games and choosing family movies to watch -- together. There was a time when family movies were recognized as such, and not ridiculed for being such. When we see most reviewers hating movies for being too childish for adults, we know that the time of family viewing is over. Now, Family Guy is what children watch with their parents, if their parents are even in the same room. Yay.
We decided to watch this movie last evening on Cine+ Famiz. Normally we do not watch kid's movies that late but it's still the last days of the Christmas holidays for the kids so Also, normally I don't write a post about kid's movies, mostly since I never get to see them since the kids usually watch them while I'm not at home.However, did one I did watch (obviously) and I also noticed that it had been given fairly poor ratings, which I thought was a bit unfair, so I decided to write something about it.As the title says my kids loved it and I thought it was rather funny as well. Sure, the jokes are silly, have been done before and are sometimes rather disgusting. I wasn't to found of the birds at the end of the movie that "Stuka-crapped" on everything. Sure the big bad boss was portrayed in such a silly way that it made me jump around in my chair. Sure, some of the "special effects" where obvious. Sure there was a over obvious green message which, due to the silliness of the delivery probably didn't go over so well with adults.But that's exactly where I think these poor ratings come from. This movie is, mostly, rated by adults but it is not a movie for adults. It's a movie for kids. Kids haven't seen all the movies that preceded this one, kids do not know that some of the jokes are old and, most of all, kids do not care. Kids still laugh when someone falls on their arse and even more so when it's a cute but sneaky (and furry) animal that is the cause.Most of the animal scenes where actually not too bad, even from an adult perspective. Brendan Fraser portrayed the guy slowly going nuts quite well. Myself, I think I would have given it 5 or maybe 6 stars, the kids loved it and would have probably given it 7 or 8. I decided to go for a balanced score of 6.
