Looney Tunes: Back in Action

An animated/live action concept that works better than it should, with spoofs of Bond films etc, but the script still unfortunately lets it down. Nice cameo from Heather Locklear but Steve Martin totally hams it up.

The film is pathetic, no creativity, should not have been done.

This could have been way worse.

Surprisingly enjoyable, appropriately looney, and a more cohesive plot than Space Jam, though sometimes a little dumb in not-so-good ways. The Warner Bros. and other movie references littered throughout are worthwhile, and oh my lord a Ro-Man cameo! Overall, a pretty good flick.

You wouldn't like it.

Better than Space Jam, but still a ridiculous Looney Tunes movie. They're such great characters, why can't someone make a good movie with them?

Genuinely silly. Mildly entertaining slapstick fun. Great cameos but don't look for a lot of plot here. It's a cartoon, remember it's a cartoon.

Not many laughs but the abundance of gags and references account for plentya dum grins :-D The chase through paintings by Dali, Munch, & Seurat (guess which) is amusing and even beautiful, a nice way to use the budget and scale to show the audience something new with established characters and style (slightly derivative of, among other things, that one episode of THE SIMPSONS, but more money does aid the effect). I try to forget that I'm attracted to Jenna Elfman but then it's like okay, yeah.

Constant sexualization of women: check. Terrible song choices: check. Horrid action sequences: check. This is a 2000's family movie alright. It's not without its charms as well, besides all that, but I truly did not care for it. It's also quite boring, to be honest.

a thinly veiled critique of capitalism funded by capitalism

Shitty but it has its funny moments

In young age i really admired Looney Tunes cartoons and laughed myself to pieces. So, for me the idea to put toons and real people to the same picture, is not so appealing. Its is not the same. Then again, was great to see known toons on screen, making looney things.

had to see this one with my little sister the only good thing in the movie was the animation

Somehow this is not just worse than Space Jam, it's far worse . Back in Action has me longing for Michael Jordon's horrible acting and off-color jokes about cartoon sex-appeal.

Looney Tunes: Back in Action is a odd ball of a film. The human characters don't hold it together all that well with the exception of a wildly hilarious Steve Martin. The animated characters however, are exactly how they should be. Madcap, zany and hilarious. Not to mention very well animated and integrated.

Looney Tunes ended Dante's career as a studio director, which was unfortunate because it's an entertaining tribute to these animated legends that is only really let down by a chaotic script that is unnecessarily cluttered with cartoon cameos and convoluted plot points. The mix of live action and animation is colourful and smoothly rendered. Fraser and Elfman are likeable, and there are a few good scenes, especially the one where Daffy and Bugs leap in and out of classic paintings in the Louvre.

I feel like I'm giving this movie more credit than it deserves, just because of how much fun it was when I was younger. But still tho. That would only take me so far.

I wrote a snobby review of this back when they were called "Guilty pleasures". Nah fuck that this IS a pleasure, and Space Jam being the one to get a sequel is a crime

Até quando ruim, o Dante é bom

Looney Tunes: Back in Action lives up to its name. There are enough explosions to rival a Michael Bay atrocity; luckily they fall nicely in place with all the classic Looney Tunes' gags, hijinks and throwbacks. This film is chock-full of references and jokes, and had me laughing out loud a few time. Steve Martin's performance was severely over-the-top, but by the end of the film you wouldn't want it any other way. In the end, it's silly fun, that is good...just not as good as Space Jam.

A decent enough kids movie destroyed by diabolical mugging from Steve Martin.

The plot is a nonsensical, hyperactive jumble and the gags are relatively uninspired compared to the classic Looney Tunes cartoons.

60.000

A poor attempt at recapturing the magic that classic cartoons hold for anybody who was once six years old. Even with a host of big name actors, Looney Tunes does not mix with live action.

Joan Cusack :D

Just go watch old Looney Tunes instead. This is crap.

The plot is a nonsensical, hyperactive jumble and the gags are relatively uninspired compared to the classic Looney Tunes cartoons.

Joe Dante and Looney Tunes are a match made in heaven. It's a little light on plot but so are all the Looney Tunes movies. Manages to be very true to the Looney Tunes spirit.

wow cant believe i never rated this - i actually own it and watched it a few times as a kid. i remember buying it at gamestop when they still had dvds. it has one of those annoying claptrap cases. ugh.

Joe Dante is on his game, and Brendan Fraser does physical comedy better than anyone working today. Fraser also did the voice of Taz!

"The lunacy isn't inspired and the film never imitates the sharp comedic wit so frequently on display in the works of Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, and Chuck Jones." - Joshua Vasquez

The one word I would describe this film is "Ballsey." A modern Cartoon/Live action film with classic cartoon characters? Watching this was like watching a swinging trapeze artist juggle flaming chainsaws. It dances on the line of being horrifically terrible and actually quite funny and a nice homage to cartoons of old. It sways a lot, teetering on the edge but it's actually not bad even though you watch through the gaps in your hand, afraid to take it away in case it plummets to its death.

Not even 12 year old me could enjoy this.

It's really unexpectedly funny, but it has many jokes all the fucking time in order to acomplish this. Which is sort of everything anyone can say about this movie.

Brendan Fraser and Jenna Elfman are two terrible casting choices but my brother and I enjoyed this movie. Although it would have been so much better if it was completely animated and without stupid cameos.

A grave insult to the memory of the people and characters from Termite Terrace.

Funny jerk!

bad movie

To everyone's surprise, this movie is not terrible.

funny movie.. totally enjoyable !!

All of these live action Warner Brothers cartoon movies embarrass me to the point that I want to be divorced from our species.

It was cute. For once, the product placement was marginally enjoyable.

Entertaining once, maybe twice. Not a major work in any way though.

Entertaining, but not much else.

Not as awful as Cool World, but just as boring. Steve Martin is a prick.

Much better than Space Jam, I thought. They're still never going to recapture the classic Looney Tunes magic though.

no...........just no.
