SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

adonis98-743-186503 The Looney Tunes search for a man's missing father and the mythical Blue Monkey diamond. As much as i loved Space Jam i think that Looney Tunes: Back in Action was way better it's directed by Joe Dante the director of some pretty cool movies such as Gremlins, Gremlins II and Small Soldiers and Brendan Fraser did a pretty good job, Steve Martin is over the top and he knows it but for once more he shows how talented he really is it was also really good to see Timothy Dalton back in something and Janna Elfman who played Kate did a nice job too there's also a really good cameo from Batman at the Warner Brothers Studios alongside the Batmobile and i really loved that scene there's even a reference to Star Wars it just feels more like classic Looney Tunes to me than Space Jam but to be honest both films are terrific and bring so many cool memories from my childhood and if you see it again you will see that the movie is so much better than a 5.7/10 it's a really great film.

prestonwardcondra Looney Tunes: Back In Action, is an attempt to help Warner Bros make big dough like they did with Space Jam. However Back In Action, isn't as revering as it's processor, and while this movie is alright in certain sections of it, it's also quite frankly, boring in a good chunk of it. Daffy gets jealous of the limelight Bugs is getting, causing havoc in Warner Bros. Studios. There he meets DJ, a police officer, who was recently fired from his job. Soon after, Daffy is without a job. DJ's learns that his father has been kidnapped (supposedly in Las Vegas), Bugs wants Daffy back, and when you toss all that together, you get a calamity of a movie...or so you think.The only part of the movie I honestly really cared for was the chase sequence through Las Vegas involving Yosemite Sam trying to kill Bugs, Daffy, DJ and Jenna Elfman (the token blonde girl of the movie)It was very well made but, that's about as exciting as the action gets in this movie.The rest of the film is basically DJ and Jenna Elfman slowly growing affection towards each other. Lovey, dovey stuff isn't exactly what first comes into my mind when I think about Looney Tunes. There's barely little humor to this movie, which Space Jam at least made me chuckle a few times, here and there with in delight. It's like Bugs and Daffy are shoehorned into the movie, to help Warner Bros, make more money. It's also worth noting that the rest of the Looney Tunes characters (Granny, Tweety, Taz & Sylvester) are reduced to brief cameo appearances, playing no significant role to the plot whatsoever. The main antagonist of the movie, is some scientist that is completely forgettable. I honestly don't even remember his name and what he did in the movie, other than he made himself look like a complete ignoramus throughout the course of the film.Only Looney Tunes fans should check this out and I was a little bit disappointed, that it could do so much more with the Looney Tunes license. 5/10.

casarino ...you hire Joe Dante, who already made one in "Gremlins 2."LT:BiA is probably about as good as a Looney Tunes movie can be these days. Yes, the magical timing of the Looney Tunes heyday is gone forever, but Dante provides tons of comic chaos, which is a decent substitute. Even when the jokes backfire (as they often do), you end up chuckling at the sheer audacity and ridiculousness of it all.The film is cast well, although whether you find Martin's hysterical overacting funny is a matter of personal taste. Fraser is much more successful; he knows that when you're up against Bugs and Daffy, your best bet is to play it relatively straight. And after a slow start, the movie gathers a nice, breathless momentum and finally captures that WB anarchy that we grew up loving.There are perhaps too many winking in-jokes, or maybe Dante lingers on them a bit too long. It all comes down to timing, which, of course, was WB's stock-in-trade. Dante can't quite capture it, which leads to more smiles than laughs. But when he nails it (as when Daffy proclaims the name of his alter-ego late in the film), it's great, silly fun. Plus, for those of us who love Dante's drive-in sensibilities, he cast his old buds Mary Woronov, Dick Miller, and, for good measure, Ron Perlman. And for the most part he doesn't skimp on the cartoony violence that makes WB cartoons wonderfully subversive. So thumbs-up to "LT:BiA," which ends up being better than it probably needed to be.Still, if you really wanna see a live-action Loony Tunes movie, you should check out "Gremlins 2," the hilarious sequel/send-up of his own "Gremlins." That one's consistently funnier and even more anarchic, even though it might be a little scary for the kids.

Steve Pulaski Looney Tunes: Back in Action may or may not be what you'd expect from a modern day film focusing on some of the most iconic animated characters in the history of animation. The film is a hybrid of animation and live action, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Here, it provides us with moments of interest, but also, moments that are void of humor and purpose.Still, the look is relatively welcomed, although I can't say I'm wholly fond of these characters being brought into the digital age. It would've been more fitting to see this gang in a live action film in their traditional hand drawn style of animation. But time is fleeting and the patience for craftsmanship like that is thin. I might as well have wished for a Looney Tunes movie done in claymation.The story is simply a cacophony on film. We begin by seeing Daffy Duck, who is sick of always playing secondhand man to Bugs Bunny (both voiced by Joe Alaskey). After demanding his own film to Warner Bros. studios, he is hastily fired by VP of Comedy Kate Houghton (Jenna Elfman). Security guard of Warner Bros. lot, DJ Drake (Brendan Fraser), is also fired after causing trouble trying to escort Daffy off the property.Something of a spy plot brews, when DJ discovers his famous father was a secret agent. This inspires both him and Daffy to drive down to Las Vegas, where more of their camaraderie will surely take place, as they get in trouble with a corporation called "Acme," ran by a barely recognizable Steve Martin, and begin to stumble upon a slew of inventions created for inevitable mishaps. There's also a nice trip to Area 52, and that's not a typo.Just like the infamous Warner Bros. cartoons, Looney Tunes: Back in Action follows the anarchic blueprint of the shorts, making them as zany and as logic-defying as possible. Is it faithful to the original shorts? Yes. It is always fun to watch? Not quite. To prepare myself for this event, I watched a couple of the classic shorts, including Rabbit Seasoning and What's Opera, Doc?, both directed by the late and great Chuck Jones. There's something captivating and compelling about the shorts that the film sort of lacks. I believe it's the transportation into the real world that jumbles the film up. It's made a tad more mainstream than it should be, and sort of obscures the obvious non-reality the shorts occupied.What too makes the shorts so sweet and charming is the waves of nostalgia that bleed off of them and the fact that they're so clearly cartoons. Trying to incorporate them in the real world doesn't work as well. In the Looney Tunes original feature film, Space Jam, it worked a bit better, maybe because the action on the court was very reminiscent of the one-setting shorts the characters starred in. Here, they are given such a wide range and such little discipline that, after a while, the event is exhausting and monotonous.Brendan Fraser works well in his lead, as he clearly has respect for the franchise and the legacy of the "Tunes" (and loves to take punches at himself). Jenna Elfman and Steve Martin work well in the supporting cast, and the voices of all the characters, as well as their appearances, do not fail to provide everyone's face with a smile.I chuckled a few times and sort of smiled when the film became stylistic (particularly during the scene where Elmer Fudd, Daffy, and Bugs are jumping in and out of famous portraits in Paris). But those smiles and chuckles quickly turned to moot feelings when the film became too concerned with snappy witticisms and indescribably chaotic sensibilities. Little, little kids might enjoy it, but it's hard to say where lifelong fans will stand. Two and a half stars seems like a fair compromise from someone who enjoyed the characters enough to give their ninety-one minute anarchic piece a try.Starring: Brendan Fraser, Jenna Elfman, Steve Martin, Timothy Dalton, Heather Locklear, and Joan Cusack. Voiced by: Joe Alaskey. Directed by: Joe Dante.
