Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
anthony-rigoni Honestly, the person who made this movie was probably high on crystal meth while making this pile of pig crap. This movie stars Rocky and Bullwinkle in this first(And thankfully last) live-action animated movie. Is it me or is this movie trying to rip off Steven Spielburg's Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Here are a few issues with this movie.1) The names of the characters. Karen Sympathy? Oh, I get it! It's a play of "care and sympathy"! WHAT THE FLYING FLIP WERE THEY THINKING?! Can you at least come up with a name for the Fearless Leader other than "Fearless Leader?" 2) The actors. I love Jason Alexander for starring in Seinfeld, but he SUCKS for the role of Boris. What is Robert DeNiro doing in this movie?! For goodness sakes, he was in Godfather II and he sounds nothing like Fearless Leader. And that goes for Jonathon Winters(Who voiced Bigelow in the Pound Puppies TV Special) too! Also, why are Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchel, John Goodman,and Whoppi Goldberg(Yeah, Whoopi Goldberg! I'm not kidding!) in this movie too?! They're great actors, they should have known better! 3) The special effects. Personally, I think this movie is trying to rip off Who Framed Roger Rabbit with the same "animated cartoons in real live" gimmick.If you're really desperate, you should have let the whole movie be in cartoons. On the bright side, at least Jason Alexander apologized for starring in this heinous nightmare.
kw447 One of the gags in this film involves a Hollywood script screener rejecting movie scripts because they are "too intelligent" :-) Well, apparently this movie is too intelligent for most voters are IMDb, as they have (incorrectly) given this movie a 4.1 rating out of ten! Obviously, they are not "getting" the Hollywood "inside jokes' and humour, (Zoom! Right over their heads!) and I suspect that this is also is a generation thing; most of you didn't grow-up with Rocky and Bullwinkle. The cartoon, like many from that era, took swipes at Government, Politics, Hollywood, etc. They were made for adults too, not just kids. I suggest you read Roger Ebert's review of this movie and gain a basic understanding and an education from someone who has been the best movie critic for a long time. There is a reason why so many recognized and talented actors signed-on for this movie. It was smart and funny at the same time, and these experienced actors recognized that. You should educate yourself and you will "get it" too!
winner55 The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show was set up as a low-budget parody of television and film animation. It was rife with in-jokes, sardonic comments on the media, bad puns, occasional feints at adult humor. It was not your average kids show. It wore its poverty-row production on its sleeve. It mocked all our expectations, and a good many of our cultural shibboleths - contemporary academia and small-town middle-America both felt its sting. Having avoided this film for a decade (presuming that Hollywood would bollix it up the way they had with the Warner Bros. cartoon characters and Casper the ghost), I at last found a cheap copy and said what the heck. Well, I was very much - and very pleasantly - surprised. The film is quite true to the original program. I love it when Whoopi Goldberg is referred to as "the honorable Judge Cameo". I love the sun bouncing up and down at sunrise and sunset. I am glad they dealt with Rocky's 'fear of flying' again (and getting over it) without any sentimentality. The in-jokes and sarcastic cultural references and media lampoons are all intact - those who complain about the animation and special effects miss the several remarks on the poor animation from the characters themselves - the animation and SFx are supposed to be borderline, that's part of the joke! So too the over-the-top characterizations and acting. (The real illusion of cinema's 'art of illusion' is that generated by an audience expecting the illusions to 'look real' - it is this illusion - the audience's - that the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, and now the movie, mock.) The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show was kinda like Jazz - you either got it or you didn't. The low rating on this film only indicates that this is true for the movie as well. The original show largely survived because of its low cost, and through syndication allowing it to be re-edited for marginal time slots, e.g., 5 am. It was only years after it ceased production that it's real strengths began endearing it to millions. In like manner, I suspect this film is on its own quiet, gradual way to becoming a cult classic. Parents will play it for their kids who will wonder "WTF?!" - then, ten years later the light-bulb will click on for those same kids, and they will 'get it' - and another generation of Rocky and Bullwinkle fans will come of age.
shellcatus Robert Deniro gives a great performance. The only parts that fall flat are with Rocky and Bullwinkle in them. The technology just wasn't there. It is a shame because this could have been a great movie. This movie knows its limits, so it doesn't hesitate to let everyone know what they're going to get. It could be an excuse, perhaps overly-done. The Characters were just great excluding "the squirrel and moose". Of course there are going to be some cheesy moments, but I think the writers had something here. There are plenty of Inside-jokes and references for adults. Overall, this movie was very entertaining. 7.5/10
