Jacob B Just like the Christmas special that preceded it, The Bad Guys: Haunted Heist is just another half-hour special for a nonexistent TV show. However, I think this special is better than A Very Bad Christmas. Sure, it still has its flaws like some juvenile humour and dialogue but I do prefer this Netflix special over that one. The animation, while still clearly made on a lower budget than the movie, is more polished and expressive, I enjoy spending time with these characters, I felt that there was a good sense of atmosphere & isolation since the Bad Guys and the long-dead guy they're stealing from are the only characters to appear and I did get a few laughs out of this special. Overall, this wasn't a bad half-hour Halloween short at all, at least in my opinion. Though I will understand if some people don't like it because they would've preferred more emphasis on a haunted house heist and less emphasis on relatively harmless Halloween pranks. Nice bit of misdirection near the end, though. Scared Shrekless was still a better DreamWorks adventure revolving around spooky shenanigans, though. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Jetler T I miss diane! hope you put her into the movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Birithivy Y The Bad Guys: Haunted Heist - 6/10. One of my favourite movies of 2022 gets another short film spinoff. And its just not as good or fun as the original film. Haunted Heist is one of those shorts that wants to milk the already good original project. Its fun to see these characters back in the thick of things, and you see them pulling off another mission. But its one of those “special episode” type of projects where it has no consequence towards the overall narrative of the franchise. Fun, but not amazing! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Anas t Not bad For Halloween day Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review matthias s *The Bad Guys: Haunted Heist* has a fun premise—our favorite crew taking on a haunted mansion. I loved the idea and was excited to see it play out as a Halloween special for the whole family. While it has some charm, it falls short in several areas. The biggest disappointment is the lack of the original voice actors. Though the new cast is decent, it’s just not the same. The animation quality also dips, and while it’s still serviceable, it doesn’t have the polish of the original. The plot feels uninspired, with many of the jokes missing the mark. The film drags in the middle and the ending left much to be desired. It could have been a much more exciting, spooky heist, but the execution didn’t live up to its potential. Overall, a decent watch but nothing memorable. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Audience Member I LOVED the bad guys movie but this was just 24 minutes of pain. It's cute and silly for a kid to watch I guess but the story makes no sense it's such a shame. Wish these were just like extras released on movie disks instead of being their own netflix short.
