Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank Reviews
It’s riddled with fart jokes and sophomoric humor, while also having witty lines that you need to pay attention to catch. It’s this strange in between that makes this movie memorable and forgettable at the same time.
| Original Score: C | Jan 5, 2023
If you love terrible puns, a bevy of Mel Brooks-related references, and samurais crossing swords, you could do far worse than "Paws of Fury."
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 18, 2022
There’s arguably enough action, visual, verbal and scatological gags to keep the kids entertained.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 29, 2022
Paws of Fury offers the usual lukewarm accept-people-for-their-hearts-not-their-looks kid-flick platitudes.

If Blazing Saddles confronted racial stereotypes by making a black sheriff police a white town, Paws of Fury tones down its satirical edge and irreverence for a neutered and declawed interspecies lark.

Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank tries to be a self-aware animated action movie, but ends up being cheesy, slow, and a bit boring.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 17, 2022
The film's uncreative script ends up burying its attempt to be a fresh and purposeful film. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 12, 2022
Brooks' biggest legacy is his interest in seeking the purest form of comedy, and he's the artist behind this movie that befits him. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 11, 2022
The script is cool and incredibly simple. Though perhaps not always extremely funny. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 11, 2022
The fair thing to do is to regard this not with contempt that it exists, but with amazement that it survived to be released. Though I think you could temper that amazement with a little bit of contempt.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 5, 2022
“Paws of Fury” isn’t blazing hot, but ultimately, it should prove warm enough for younger audiences.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 4, 2022
Swapping the Western for Chambara and in tune with the times of Twitter, this little gem sieved through the cartoon genre appeals to an older audience with a few homages and tops it off with Brooks' Shogun... [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 3, 2022
Although the film has its high points... and provokes a few isolated laughs...the film is a musketeer. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 2, 2022
Loosely based on Blazing Saddles, the film suffers from an unimaginative screenplay and is too derivative.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 30, 2022
While the nonstop flurry of jokes don't all hit the mark, there's enough madcap silliness to keep the audience entertained.
| Original Score: 3 | Jul 27, 2022
This pretty much winds itself down to a whole bunch of fart jokes.

No fewer than seven screenwriters are credited on this tiresome Kung Fu Panda rip-off... Characters are stereotypical and the lazy approach to Asian culture offensive.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 22, 2022
Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank takes the 1974 classic comedy and turns it into an unappealingly bland kids flick.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 22, 2022
Paws of Fury is precisely as inane as its premise makes it sound – think Kung Fu Panda, but blander – though it has been cobbled together with a certain honest doltishness that tends to play well with its young target audience.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 21, 2022
It's clear that the makers had an aim to make the movie stand out from typical kiddie fare, and they succeed, generally.
