Open Season: Scared Silly!

Wow. Not much to say. I really scary movie. The jokes don't work and the even the kids did not like it. Technically OK but content wise a disaster. So rather watch some old Disney movies instead of Open Season 4. Anyhow I am wondering how this series made it up to 4 episodes already. And also the current average rating of 5.2 does not reflect the real quality of the film also knowing that everyone's opinion is quite subjective. This was one of the films where even the kids wanted to go out the cinema earlier. And usually they rather prefer watching commercials instead of getting away from the screen. Compared to Arlo and Spot...miles behind.

Don't need a lot of words for this one. My 5 year old nephew doesn't even like this. I never saw a 5 year bored while watching an animated movie. I seriously wounder what were they thinking. Considering they were thinking at all. The original cast is gone, meaning we have no attachment to the film. I can just fill these lines with words but I still won't know why they made another Open Season. Just close the season and be done with it, please. Never has a fan asked you so nicely... From one fan to another, don't waste your time watching this movie. You could rather watch a Donald Trump speech over and over again. It is more entertaining than this excuse of a movie. Don't mean to be harsh but I feel offended by this movie...

The animals gather around a campfire. Elliot tells a scary story about the legend of the Wailing Wampus Werewolf. Boog is the only scared one. Elliot decides to scare the fear out of Boog. With Open Season gone, Shaw has turned into a sightseeing tour guide. When the scare effort goes overboard, Shaw and his clients become convinced of a werewolf. They convince Gordy to reopen Open Season, but only for werewolf.

Open Season is a second tier franchise and this is its Halloween TV movie episode. I like these characters although they are mostly light weight comedy. The franchise fits nicely on the small screen and that probably allowed it to start a TV series. I like the spooky woods and wouldn't mind staying there.

Well it's not the worst Sony/Open Season movie. (Very close though). What is wrong with the Open Season franchise?! How are there 4 of these movies, and only ones good?! The rest of the movies are some of the worst Sony Animation Movies, and that's saying a lot!!! This movie decides that the main characters, should be the most annoying characters ever! Even if they weren't annoying before, this movie somehow made them annoying! I can give credit somewhere, this feels like a more accurate version of a sequel for OpenSeason, Open Season 2 messed up a lot, but this one gets more elements right that could of worked more for a sequel. But, why?! Why does this exist?! Why is this so annoying?! Why did you make so many movies of this franchise?! And why does every single one of them except the first suck!?

Sigh, another day, another Open Season sequel. That also means another day that Sony opens up it's wallet, throws whatever small amount of money they can in other studio's faces and tells them "Go make an Open Season sequel but with less of the good humour. Oh and none of the actors from the other films."

At this point though, Sony must have honestly given up.

Too content with making really huge blockbusters *coughcoughStinkers*, they decided the baton must be passed to the Canadians. And thus nearly all of the production was done in Canada, the animation (done by Rainmaker Entertainment, same ones who did Reboot back in the Mainframe days and Ratchet & Clank), the voice acting (who actually do a much better job then anyone in the 3rd film though it's nothing to run home and shout about), maybe even the writing was done by Canadians.

Too bad then that ever since the 3rd sequel, the franchise has ditched the word "Funny" and decided a bunch of measly Christmas cracker jokes would do instead... oh and poop jokes too, lots of em. Therefore you probably won't be laughing at anything these critters say but you'll instead be thinking "How the devil are Sony still making these?".

And the plot's a load of codswallop too, the whole film is basically Elliot trying to scare the living daylights out of Boog.

Yeah, would have worked as an 8 minute cartoon, a 10 minute episode of a show or even a 22 minute TV special. But as an 87 minute film, paah ha ha ha ha you're having a laugh there chums! There's only so much they can do with this kind of material and by the time the mystery of whatever that Werewolf Elliot keeps talking about is finally revealed, the only thing you'll be doing is checking your watch.

So yeah Open Season: Scared Silly. Not as bad as the other films I've seen so far (hence why it gets the 3 rating) but still Sony, this season has gone on far enough and little old me says it's time to close it for good and let the animals have peace for once.

Then again, Sony's probably not caring since they're rolling around in money like Scrooge McDuck. Beats me.
