Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

elicopperman Unlike the Looney Tunes movie Space Jam where it had a mediocre reception but a very good box office performance, this film was met with an ok response from critics but bombed financially and to this day is pretty under the radar. That being said, I actually enjoy Back in Action quite a bunch as I felt it was more faithful to the zaniness and wittiness of the original Looney Tunes. While I don't think this movie is by any means a masterpiece, I think it's very underrated. I think one reason the film was not received all that well is because....well, it doesn't really make much sense plot wise. After leaving Hollywood due to all the attention going to Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck joins former stuntman Damien Drake Jr. (Brendan Fraser) and embarks on an adventure to find Damien's father, and the missing blue diamond. Along with Bugs and The VP of Warner Bros (Jenna Elfman), they try to obtain said diamond before The Acme Corp. does for their own sick purposes. However, I think you have to really be a big fan of Looney Tunes to accept just how ludicrous the plot really is. Some of the classic Looney Tunes characters either appear as small cameos or advance the plot in such odd ways, but again, they helps progress the film and play into the film's silly nature. While the live-action characters played by Brendan Fraser and Jenna Elfman do fall a little short, the gags with the Looney Tunes are jam packed with slapstick, fourth wall breaks, pronoun trouble (heh, heh), and even some self aware moments, like a small banter between Daffy and Bugs on wild takes. Admittedly, not every joke does hit and the film does act a little too self aware at times, but it never distracts from how funny the other jokes are.Adding further into the film, the animation was lead by former Disney animator Eric Goldberg, and it looks fantastic. It really does look like the toons are there with the live actors, and the animation on them is fluid and amusing in its own right. The voice-acting is also top notch, with the stand outs being Joe Alaskey as both Bugs and Daffy and Billy West as Elmer Fudd. They do a great job bringing the characters' voices to life and it's no wonder they still tend to voice them today (minus Alaskey though who sadly passed on).To sum it all up, while the humor is hit or miss, the live leads are somewhat dull and the plot can be too ridiculous at times, Looney Tunes: Back in Action offers enough wit, lovable Looney Tunes chemistry, solid animation, and charming voice acting to make it an enjoyable experience that embraces how silly it really is. Apparently director Joe Dante hated working on the film due to having Warner Bros. be too demanding of changes and restrictions, but I think he succeeded enough to make a fun if not flawed film that at least gives a decent lime light to my favorite Looney Tune character, Daffy Duck. So I recommend this flick if you're in the mood for some weird but harmless Looney Tunes entertainment....oh yeah, and Steve Martin acting like a lovably cooky leader.

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.
