    This animation fufilling my heart!!
    I have a chance to watch this movie on Netflix, "The Bad Guys." This movie is not just an animation for kids. It contains so many meaningful storylines, some comedies and the mission that will excited you through the whole movie. Briefly, the plot is about a group of reformed villains, including Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Shark, and Ms. Tarantula, who embark on a mission to prove that they can be good guys. They aim to save the day by rescuing a bunch of cute animals from an evil mastermind. The film is known for its humor and heartwarming moments as the characters navigate their newfound heroism.

    For me, I would love to recommend this movie for others to have a chance to watch this heartwarming movie. I love that they show the friendship of the characters and their development. They play with the instincts of the wild animal. They represent the predators animals to the person who is sometimes were judged by first sight, which doesn't mean they are bad guys by their looks. The movie tries to convey that you cannot judge people by their appearance. Even someone who might look like a bad guy, Maybe they are not being like that they are also need love and care.

    Furthermore, the animation, pictures, and sounds were done really well, making me enjoy the whole movie and not get bored. However, the main point of this movie is similar to "Zootopia," so if you are looking for this kind of movie, spare the space for "The Bad Guys."

    So, remember, 'Go bad or go home!'

    Graphics were solid.

    Surprisingly good and with no cliche preaching
    The voice over actors are good in general, and well placed.

    The characters are balanced , and no agenda nor preaching here, just a fun movie to watch.

    A full family suitable movie , with a good , kids friendly message that is delivered in a gentle manner and not pushed or shoved through the script.

    A nice to hear soundtrack (music and songs).

    The animation is a bit different, and they managed to make it close to the comics illustrations which gave the movie a unique character.

    It's a mix of realistic and animated body and facial performance that gives animation high quality without projecting the feeling of fake live action movies that contain tons of annoying CGI .

    In conclusion, recommended for the whole family.

    Fast paced and thrilling
    The bad guys

    A fast paced thrilling ride. It is witty, charming and humourous, with its humour woven into the plot, making it essential and not for the sake of. With an animation style that is inspired by Spiderman: into the spiderverse, the bad guys is visually stunning and dazzling. Its 2d and 3d elements blending beautifully.

    The bad guys packs a memorable array of characters that are voiced deftly by the cast. The bad guys reminds me of another animation from the previous year, back to the outback, and it also draws inspiration from heist movies like Oceans 8. The twists keep coming, and they're presented in a well-fashioned manner.

    A Really Enjoyable Film
    I remember seeing ads for this run during the Olympics I want to say, and was rather interested in it, so when it popped up on Netflix I was excited, and I must say, the film didn't disappoint.

    The film is an overall good film. Initially there is the art style, which to me was rather unique (maybe done on other films, but I haven't seen them yet). Additionally there was the small details here and there in the film, such as extra movements, or character animations that serve no actual purpose to the film, but help make it feel more ... natural and believable. At the same time, it was also over the top in areas. Giving that Looney Tunes cartoon feel that made it enjoyable. Using the median they had to its fullest.

    The characters are enjoyable and I got a good laugh out of all them. They were all really enjoyable, and you never found yourself bored with one of them. They each had their place in the film, and the actors/actresses seemed to voice them exceptionally. I assume they were cast for the roles, and/or, they really enjoyed playing them because each was perfect!

    As for the story itself, I really enjoyed it. The film does a good job of showing you something and then making sure to not leave you hanging going "what was the purpose of that?", even revealing little things ahead of time here and there, allowing you in some cases to wonder "what could that be". While the ending itself is somewhat predictable, it did throw a nice twist that I REALLY liked. I expected it go one way, it went another, and then topped it off with a cherry that was perfect (even playing into once again "wait you showed us this, will it be used or is just cosmetic?")

    I will say there was one scene in the film (that was seen in the trailer as well), where they have to rescue a bunch of guinea pigs. This could have actually tied into the film later on, but it didn't. Now while it wasn't required to, it would have worked well, and I actually have to wonder if it there was a plan for it, to only be dropped later, forgotten, or some deleted scene.

    Outside that one thing, I really liked it. Sure it's not some film that will go down in history, but it's definitely a really good one that did a great job of entertaining me, and I have watched a few times over now.

    Stunning movie, weak plot.
    Giving this an 8/10 because of how pretty it was. Honestly the lighting, and the style were insanely pretty. Love the references to cult movies(no spoilers there). It starts great and it somehow feels like it's going to be something new but as always Hollywood can't do a movie about antiheroes or bad guys (no pun intended). It felt weak, it wasn't as funny either, some cute moments but overall the plot was very predictable.

    Now the animation style was beautiful. Dreamworks have stuck to a certain animation style since ever and it's nice to see they are switching it up. They haven't done a movie in a while so it's nice to see they still got it. The clothing could have used a bit more detail but maybe that's the look they were going for. I enjoyed every avenue as it was so well done and well lit. Definitely an Oscar contender for this years awards.

    Overall, great kids movie, very easy plot. Can rewatch just as background noise.
