n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

. . . HOOK, LINE AND STINKER into 21st Century Prophecies, the Road Runner's scientific name Morphs from "Burnius Roadibus" to Hotrodhammer Clintospeedius, while Wile E. Coyote's Latin Name ("Famishius-Famishius") becomes Dumpius Trumpius. STINKER is surely keeping the U.S. Secret Service up at night as this review is being written, since it foresees Trumpius being blown up, bludgeoned, railroaded, lightning-struck, piano-crushed, blown up again, and finally Rube Goldberged to smithereens. As Hotrodhammer wolfs down Coyote Trumpius' lunch, Dumpius has to content himself with eating her dust. (The Transgendered Clintospeedius would have to debate what public rest rooms to use for her "disgusting" business in North Carolina, which will have to rely on Trumpius Rallies as their ONLY form of live entertainment for the long-term future, now that all the institutions of the Civilized World have canceled every scheduled event within the borders of America's Tarry Heels state.) Given all the carnage wreaked against him in STINKER, perhaps the best post-election option for Trumpius would be to seek political asylum with his buddy Vlad "The Impaler" Putin in Russia. Maybe he could make another "sacrifice" by erecting a Trumpius Tower next to the Kremlin.

After creating the two best episodes in the entire "Road Runner" series ("Zoom & Bored" and "Whoa Be-Gone"), I guess it was inevitable that creator Chuck Jones and writer Michael Maltese were due for a less-than-stellar go-round in Episode #13 of the series. It wasn't helped by the fact there was a musicians strike on at the time, so the music used was basically commercial-production music -- including a melody that was later used (slightly altered) as the theme song for the "Dennis The Menace" TV show. The gags in this episode seem a bit forced, and only a few really stand out as being genuinely funny, such as the bundle of dynamite that chases Wile E back to his hiding place and the grand piano that he somehow decides would be the perfect weapon to squash Road Runner with! This is probably my least-favorite episode of the series -- at least until after Chuck Jones left WB and it became shadow of itself 1960s.

...but Hook, Line and Stinker is not what I consider a favourite. The animation is not too bad, it is solid enough, some of the gags are decent namely the piano gag and the overall quality when watching it on TV or DVD is nice. Also Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote's antics are reasonably funny. However, the running time is disappointingly scant, and I found the pacing rather hectic. But the most disappointing asset was the music. These Looney Tunes usually have great music, with quirky motifs and rousing rhythms, but here I(a musician myself) found the music, as others have pointed out, annoying and repetitive.Overall, not bad, but not great either. 6/10 Bethany Cox

Not a bad Roadrunner effort, the film is hindered substantially by a score that will not let up, hammering away at the comedy when silence usually works best when Wile E.'s plans start to fail. Especially unfortunate since this is one where an early Coyote mishap provides an ongoing thread throughout the rest of the short--a nice Jones touch.
