Sadly disappointing
I watched the Rescue Rangers as a kid and loved it. Fast forward well into adulthood and I have all the seasons and I still enjoy watching them when I decide to have a cartoon day. When I saw they were making a movie I was hesitantly optimistic.
But ultimately the movie didn't do anything for me. It just felt like a nostalgia cash grab. The only part I found mildly entertaining, and kept my watching, was seeing how many cameos I could spot in the background. But that doesn't make a good movie, it just made it feel even more like a cash grab with no substance.
But hey, at least it was better than the stuff Disney has been putting out lately. Not that the bar is very high... - Darwinskid - 23 September 2022
Could have been this generation's Wild Wild West, instead is more akin to this generation's Roger Rabbit.
I was not thrilled to see this after the marketing just failed to excite me on just about every level. Being honest, I had flashbacks of 1999's box office stinker Wild Wild West with what appeared to be desperate attempts to appear "hip" and clever to the audience and with not one single joke landing for me. To my surprise though, it was defnitely not what I was fearing it would turn out to be and instead was what I had assumed they were trying to be, namely a contemporary Who Framed Roger Rabbit? And to put icing on the cake, Roger Rabbit himself cameos in the film.
This is a pretty clever and fun film that will keep you entertained from start to finish with many unexpected cameos and good commentary on the entertainment industry, if you were unresponsive to the humor as presented in the trailers you might just have a different reaction when seeing the full film. Mulaney and Samberg have superb chemistry as the titular characters.
