ada the leading man is my tpye
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Hitchcoc Marvin the Martian makes an appearance as he battles wits with Daffy Duck as they try to conquer Planet X. The interesting thing is that all the planets are lettered. Porky Pig is a young cadet. Despite his vocal limitations (almost all the Warner Brothers characters were candidates for speech therapy) he is really the smart one in the group. Daffy tries to take credit for every revelation that Porky puts forth, in his own inimitable, self-centered way. I've always loved the voice Mel Blanc developed for Marvin. Of course, everything heads in the direction of utter destruction. Anyway, this is a very entertaining offering from Chuck Jones and the gang.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) I guess science-fiction lovers will enjoy this 7-minute cartoon from over 90 years especially. Daffy is in space and fights Marvin the Martian for control over Planet X. I like that Martian character and I was surprised to see he appeared actually in quite a few films. I do not have much memory of him I must admit. However, the fact that he appears in one of Warner Bros' most famous cartoons of all time certainly makes him fairly popular I guess. Still, I have to stay, in terms of the story and of the jokes I am a bit surprised that this cartoon is so popular and famous. I am not saying it's bad by any means. It's definitely a solid watch, but I just cannot really see what the hype is about. Jones, Maltese and Blanc did a fine job here, but so they did on an uncountable number of other cartoons. Nonetheless, I recommend it and it shows that Warner Bros was still making pretty good movies in the 1950s as well and does not have to hide behind Disney. Thumbs up.
TheLittleSongbird As I have said many times already, I love anything to do with Looney Tunes. Duck Dodgers in the 24.5th century is something you cannot afford to dodge, it is an undeniable classic. While Daffy isn't quite his manic self which I admittedly prefer he still does do a great job. Porky doesn't get that much to do, but does fine with what he has, and Marvin the Martian you have to love him. The animation is fantastic, even after 50+ years, it still looks incredibly good, and the music is great.Also the writing is razor sharp, and hilarious constantly. The gags are well thought out and come back and fast as I like it. Also Mel Branc the wonderful voice actor he was, does a stellar job with the voices. All in all, like all the other reviewers have said, this cartoon is great. 10/10 Bethany Cox
tavm A lot of comments are saying this is one of the best cartoons ever. I'm not going to go that far but I give credit again to Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese for making some of the most creative cartoons in the history of animation. Loved the back and forth between Daffy and Marvin in trying to one-up each other whether it's claiming Planet X for Earth or Mars, pulling disintegrating guns on each other (with Daffy's actually literally disintegrating!), or passing bullets from their guns with threatening messages with Daffy's last one saying "Ouch!" And space cadet Porky once again proves how smarter than Daffy he really is. So while I don't think Duck Dodgers in the 24 and a Half Century is a great cartoon, it's certainly a very good one.
