Summary: Winters Worst Movie
Review: Thsi movie sucks. Brendan Fraser and Steve Martin were so not funny in this movie. They both are usally quite funny, but this movie dosen't have that many funny parts. Its very babish. It dosent deserve any honors or awards, and should be kicked out of theathers immediatly. Don't waste your money seeing thsi movie its very bad and annoying!!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: An Inane Mess
Review: This is not a good movie. It is not even close to a good movie. It did keep my six year old occupied for 90 minutes... so it does have some merits. But movies like "Toy Story" (both of them), "Shrek," and "A Bug's Life" have proven that "kids" movies can be articulate, well-made, and enjoyable by all ages. "Looney Tunes" is a contrived, plotless, poorly acted mess. Two stars for special effects.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The New Warner Brothers..
Review: I actually like this movie very much. It's fast, funny, enjoyable, The Looney Tunes gang make me laugh which is what they do best. And it seems to show that Warner Brothers is once again up and running as a major movie studio. The cameo apperance of Batman and several DC Comics characters hopefully means that Warners will soon be making better/good movies on them.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A mixed bag, though filled with moments of sheer brilliance.
Review: Dante's homage to the late, great Chuck Jones ends up being somewhat hit and miss, especially due to the rather irritating villain played by Steve Martin, but the pacing is fast, the animation is spectacular, and there's enough great strandout moments (Area 52, the Louvre) to make up for the film's shortcomings. Both Jerry Goldsmith's score and Danny Elfman's niece are delicious.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bugs & Daffy
Review: I thought the movie could be better. They had some really funny scenes such as the Walmart Scene. Good way to sell...lol. From the moment you see Daffy get fired you know that you are in for a ride. There is no reason why Daffy should be thrown out. In this movie they had some really great actors which made the movie pretty good. I would have to say that the plot of the movie needed something more. Main plot save the world the second plot that was noticed save dad. There was another one which was get Daffy back into the movie. It is worth watching but I am not to sure that you should see it in the movie theaters.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Entertainment at its best
Review: "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" is pure entertainment. It's funny, it's out there, and viewers of all ages can enjoy it.
The plotline is rather weak - okay, it's downright absurd - but who really needs one when you have such fun characters?
The incorporation of the cartoon characters into real life is almost flawless, and I say 'almost' only because Jenna Elfman fumbles a bit when interacting with them. Brendan Fraser is a complete professional, as usual. Steve Martin is funny at the beginning, but becomes more and more grating with time.
The thing I love most about this movie is that adults and children alike can have fun while watching it. The physical comedy is appealing to children, while adults can appreciate the subtle parodies and satire on American society.
"Looney Tunes: Back in Action" succeeds because it does what it is meant to do: it entertains the mind and enlightens the heart.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shake your tail feather
Review: It's quite obvious:

Space Jam: It was all right. Not that great
Daffy Duck's Quack Busters: That was hugely entertaining.
Bug's Bunny/Road Runner Movie: Awsome
Daffy Duck's Movie -- Fantastic Island: Animation as flat as pancakes that get hit by steam rollers. Hadn't seen the film. Looks bad!
Looney Tunes Back in Action: Best Bugs Bunny movie. Place it on par with Daffy Duck's Quack Busters and Space Jam.

The last Bugs Bunny movie was okay, but this one was even way better. I thought the scene when they go to France and Elmer Fudge was chasing Bugs and Daffy into all the paintings, that scene was so funny. I can especially can see their shadows. The scene when Bugs said "I found Nemo" reminded me of my favorite movie Finding Nemo. This movie was over funny. It's hilarous. YOU SHOULD SEE IT!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not As Good As Expected
Review: Like most people in America, I grew up with the hilarious antics of the Looney Tunes, wich may be why I expected this movie to be great. It wasn't terrible, but it could have been so much better. All of the acting was great, but the storyline was very lacking. In the first twenty-five minutes, the story was just starting to pick up and I haden't laughed yet. The storyline in a nut shell is that Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Brendan Frasier, and Jenna Elfman are on a road trip to save the world from being turned into monkeys by evil Steve Martin. Of course there are lots of cameos along the way including Joan Cusac and Heather Locklear. My favorite scenes where a race in space between Bugs, Daffy, and Marvin the Martian and the whole Area 52 bit. You'll like this movie if you like Looney Tunes, but you'll probably agree that it could have been much better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Croosin' with the "Toons"
Review: "Looney Tunes: Back In Action" is the perfect marriage of live action and animation. To complete this picturesque scenario, it takes a "humanized" all-star cast (Jenna Elfman, Brendan Fraser, Timothy Dalton, including others), along with some zany Looney Tunes charcters (yes, most of them are here, folks, from Bugs Bunny [that "wascallwy wabbit"] to Yosemite Sam), with all of the above combined to make one colossal motion picture for everyone aged seven to seventy. Everyone's out to recover an artifact that could wind up causing universal damage (a pricey gem known as "The Blue Monkey"). Its dastardly, evil "owner" (Steve Martin) wants to make certain the world is freed from all human existence, and prefers to "monkey around" with evolution, so to speak. It's a race against time, as our female assistant (Elfman), son of a movie star (Fraser), Bugs, Daffy Duck (and an all-star cast of "Tunes" attempt to free a senior movie star (Dalton) from the clutches of one mad scientist (Martin), who is the head of ACME Corporation. When I say "LT:BIA" is a "universal" motion picture, I am not just speaking in tongues, as the gang literally spans the globe to search for clues. This journey stretches from Las Vegas to Paris, France, to the wilds of Africa (FACTUAL NOTE: The Nevada Desert does not contain any species of various cacti - just shrubs of tumbleweed and tons of sand. The saguaro cactus plants were there to provide a backdrop for Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner to make their spectacular entrances). All of the elements that were featured in the classic Warner Bros. cartoons are here: classic character lines (ex: "What's Up Doc", "What In Tarnation", etc.), various sight gags (ex: automated device running out of fuel inches before touching ground, the positioning of Daffy Duck's beak, etc.), including others not mentioned here. Bill Goldberg (another wrestler turned actor) gives a masterful performance as one of the bad guys as well. Even the brief cameo of Michael Jordan is worthy of a look-see. Also, besides the too-brief appearance of Speedy "The Fastest Mouse In All Mexico" Gonzales, the only thing really missing, is Speedy's slow-footed cousin Slowpoke Rodriguez. If only this journey included a visit to Mexico (including Speedy's and Slowpoke's mouse buddies), then "Looney Tunes: Back In Action" would have netted a five-star rating for sure. As it is, it earns all four stars for its directorial and animation qualities (not to mention a fine human and not-so-human main and supporting cast), which makes it a must-see motion picture. As Porky Pig would say: "TH-TH-THE-THAT'S ALL FOLKS!!!".

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Distracting fluff nonetheless...
Review: This is a nice little flick starring the Looney Tunes and some cameos by Hollywood stars (and has-beens) that you'll forget minutes after you watch but it'll be some distracting entertainment for perhaps a rainy day.

The main idea is that Brendan Fraser stars as a security guard at the Warner Bros (he was once the stunt double for Brendan Fraser in The Mummy, apparently) who learns his spy father was on a mission to rescue a diamond that can turn people into monkeys before it falls into the hands of the head of Acme, played by...Steve Martin in a ton of make-up. He's trailed by Jenna Elfman as a studio executive, and Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, the Duck who recently was fired from show business.

There's some cute in-jokes, and references to such films as Robot Monster and Invason of the Body Snatchers, and a cute romp through some paintings at the Louvre (a green-screened Paris). The backgrounds are pretty, the jokes sometimes fly and sometimes don't, and the Looney Tunes are still hilarious. The plot...does it really matter? No, not really, but still this might be a good film if you're looking for something to pass the time with that won't tax your brain.
