Summary: Charming Fun
Review: I enjoyed the television cartoon series, so I was excited about seeing The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle on the big screen, and this movie lived up to its predecessor. First, the movie's set-up is interesting. Instead of going all live-action like other cartoon-to big-screen endeavors such as George of the Jungle, "our heroes" are visitors from the cartoon world into the real world. (Each world is aware of the existence of the other.) Everyone involved in this movie seemed to be having a great time. The movie is well cast; Jason Alexander and Renee Russo look just like the cartoon Boris and Natasha and play them with zest. It was also a treat to hear June Foray from the television series reprise her role as the voice of Rocky. (Also watch for several cameo appearances.) Before attending the movie, I read reviews that said it was too long, but I sat through the entire movie without checking the time once. Yes, the plot was silly, and the movie was filled with bad puns, but this is ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE-- that's what the show was always about. The mistake would have been if the movie had attempted to be more serious or "grown-up" than the cartoon. (Although I expect that the movie will go over much better with adults than with children who will not have had the experience of watching the original show.) This film was magical and charming, and I can't wait to see it again. I cannot recommend this movie highly enough.

Summary: Simply Awful
Review: This is maybe the worst movie since "the Invasion of the Killer Tomatoes." It is boring and lacks any creativity. "The Killer Tomatoes" was much more creative and interesting. I enjoyed the original Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons. Unfortunately, the transformation from animation to real human and animal characters does not work in this movie. The characters are real goofy and boring and simply awful. This movie does not do justice to the original cartoons. I do not see anything of what others describe as "whimsical, funny--at times hysterical." This is simply not true. I suggest that you save your money and buy a different movie.

Summary: Is real lead balloon, Natasha. Watch old originals instead.
Review: The TV show was fast, sharp, and funny, but the movie is slow, dull, and pointless. Fans may have a hard time reconciling the original cartoon characters with these pale carbons: Rocky, formerly the brains of the outfit, is now a forlorn wimp, and Bullwinkle, who used to fire off hilarious puns anytime and anywhere, now offers a few tired one-liners as tedious live-action characters monopolize the footage (the only bright spot is Robert DeNiro's Fearless Leader). This effort would almost certainly have worked better as a 100% animated feature. If you don't know the Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons you might get a few laughs out of this, but you'll wonder how the show ever got such a following. Diehard fans of "moose and squirrel" will be disappointed. Sadly, Bill Scott (the original voice of Bullwinkle and co-creator of the TV show) does not get any screen credit at all.

Summary: Good wholesome fun!
Review: I walked into this film expecting it to be one of those movies full of corny humor and childish antics. After the movie, however, I had a much different approach to this film. "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" is a great family film and is also an interesting treat for adults and older kids. In "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle", Moose and Squirrel's arch enemies Boris (Jason Alexander), Natasha (Rene Russo) and Fearless Leader (Robert De Niro) come out of reruns in a hope to take over the world. Then, the FBI sends out Agent Karen Sympathy to bring Rocky and Bullwinkle into the real world. This is a delightful family film that I recommend to most anyone.

Summary: So-so comedy
Review: Not great but very funny update of the classic television cartoon. The inane plot involves the evil trio of Fearless Leader (Robert DeNiro), Boris (Jason Alexander) and Natasha (Rene Russo), who have turned themselves from cartoon into live-action so that they can buy a television station and take over the world. Piper Perabo is somewhat feeble as the FBI agent sent to stop them with the help of that unstoppable duo Rocky and Bullwinkle (here rendered with impressive computer animation. Russo is a gas as the gorgeous femme fatale (so gorgeous in fact that while near her Alexander completely vanishes off the screen), while DeNiro is embarrassingly over the top as in his role. The film has some very hilarious jokes in it, mostly involving the titular heroes, plus a boatload of famous names doing cameos (Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal, John Goodman), but the film doesn't maintain its hectic hilarity throughout.

Summary: A hilarious, fun movie treat!
Review: For anyone who remembers and loves the original Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons, this movie is an absolute must-see. It is an incredibly funny mix of cartoon and live animation a la "Roger Rabbit" that perfectly both parodies and celebrates the original serialized Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons. Yes, the all-knowing (and all-punning) narrator is here, to comment on the actions of the film, Frostbite Falls is here, Wossamotta U is here, and of course...Fearless Leader, Boris and Natasha are here! Renee Russo and Jason Alexander, as Boris and Natasha, are by the way, absolutely brilliant in bringing to life to perfection the mannerisms and voices of these dastardly villians. And Robert DeNiro is amazing...It is so fun to see him doing such a cartoonish, hilarious character. The other great fun in the movie is spotting all of the tons and tons of celebrity cameos (Whoopi Goldberg, in particular, is excellent, as...who else?...Judge Cameo). As is usual with this type of movie, the critics blasted it. BUT DON'T BELIEVE THEM! This movie is excellent! If you loved "George of the Jungle," you will love this...even more!

Review: Robert de Niro looks different in this movie, you will never recognise him. For me, Rocky and Bullwinkle are the funniest cartoon characters ever. This is the first time I saw Piper Perabo in a movie.

Review: Rocky and Bullwinkle are on thier way to New York City to stop Fearless Leader (Robert DeNiro), Boris (Jason Alexander) and Natisa (Rene Russo) from turning all of American into vegetables with RBTV! Just usual, Bullwinkle has all the great lines. This movie is filled with comedy, adventure and...more comedy!

Summary: So-so..but enjoyable
Review: Jason Alexander stars as Boris Badenov, Robert DeNiro is Fearless Leader & Rene Russo is Natasha Fatale who somehow get into the real world & try to brainwash everyone in the world via "RBTV" (Really Bad TV) and have everyone vote for Fearless Leader as absolute ruler. Only Rocky & Bullwinkle can stop them...but how? Watch & find out.
