And not only is it the worst of the series, it is even one of the worst movies I have seen in my entire life! Not even 2 was that bad !!! This movie is so bad like the others that I even wonder if it was made that way on purpose !!! Now Mr Wenie has no charm (he was one of the few characters that had some charm left after the first movie), and worst of all is that in addition to the story as always it is still cliche and predictable, with forced humor , now try to allude to nostalgia and put characters from 1 !!! Like Shaw or the Sheriff. And these also lost all their charm!!! Shaw in the previous one for example was super intimidating and very badass, but in this one he was super dumb. The same as with the other characters. Beth is the only one who does not appear (at least not physically), which does not surprise me, since she was the only character in the entire franchise who was 100% kind and serious, that it would not make any sense to pass her through the movie filter like Open Season 2 and 3. Also characters like Ursa or Elliot's children do not appear! Not that I cared much, because they were very bad characters, but it did not have a logical continuity, so I investigated on wikipedia, and indeed, Open Season 4 is a prequel to 2. But there are several problems with this. First, they do not make it clear at any point in the film, second that this decision seems super strange to me and more considering that the history of the last three is terrible, and finally and the one that will take the longest to explain: This makes me doubting the continuity of the entire series, for a simple detail, a detail that the developers forgot and that ruins the whole story. Mr. Wenie in Open Season 4 still wants to be with the owners of him..... WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! In Open Season 1 and 2 (in the latter until the end of the film), they make it clear that Mr. Wenie does not want to live with his owners anymore, he wants to live the wild life. So if Open Season 4 is a prequel to 2, why does Mr. Wenie still want to be with the owners of him? Now I don't know if this movie is a sequel to 3 or a prequel to 2 !!!! This movie is disgusting wherever you look, it tries to do "many things" and in the end it does not achieve anything. The way it is made, it looks like fanfiction.... OFFICIAL FANFICTION !!! They just want to abuse the nostalgia of the fans !!! The guys who made this movie knew that 1 was the best and they ruined three great characters by trying to appeal to nostalgia in the process!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST MOVIES I HAVE SEEN IN MY LIFE !!!! And since I've seen a lot of very bad things lately, THAT IS SAYING A LOT!!!!! Not only is the movie bad, IT IS INSULTING! I FEEL OFFENDED VIEWING HER FOR THE ABUSE OF NOSTALGIA!!!
