It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

An OK movie where I didn't like the main "human" actors. However, Bugs and to a lesser extent Daffy provide some nice funny moments. I would rate it 5/10 but a reference to the "classic" Robot Monster makes me give it one more star.

I really liked this movie when I was a kid and because I'm hungover I wanted to watch something comfortable and I though hey, I haven't seen Looney Tunes: Back in Action in ages. Yeah, of course it's a children's movie and it's very silly, but for me this is kind of that adventure comedy I compare all others to, at least subconsciously, since it's about the first one I saw.Even as a grown-up I still find this movie funny. Yeah of course there are some corny childish jokes in there, but most of the comedy is still funny. The Looney Tunes character bring most into this movie. Sure, Brendan Fraser's character is alright and Timothy Dalton is good and all that, but still none of those characters beat Daffy Duck or Bugs Bunny and all those other characters we've learnt to love watching the Looney Tunes shorts. The story itself is pretty simple but it has so many hilarious details and the characters and the fun mix between live action and animation are the things that make this movie fun. It's not the best adventure movie out there, but it's hilarious, and what kid wouldn't love it?

I first heard of this movie that combines animation and live-action when I saw it in the movie theater with my family when I was in Elementary School once, and ever since I saw it on the big screen I always thought "What an utterly horrible film this was"! I tried the movie again on Netflix in high school, and I still think the same thing to this day.Pretty much all I can say about this movie is that it is ABSOLUTELY NOT worth watching. Even if you're a big fan of Bugs Bunny as I am, I definitely recommend you PRETEND THIS FILM WAS NEVER EVEN MADE, because all of the iconic Looney Tunes characters were animated by computer instead of by hand. I especially also dislike the acting of Brendan Fraser, even with the way his character in here was very firm.Skip this Looney Tunes movie, and if you want to watch a full-length Bugs Bunny film see "Space Jam" with Michael Jordan, or even better than that, the critically-acclaimed hit animation and live-action cinematic success "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" because that one will definitely put a smile on your face. If Mel Blanc saw this one, he'd for sure be very disappointed with his famous animated character creations like Bugs Bunny, so I definitely imagine he's spinning in his grave because of this terrible film that should be extinct.

The makers of this film nicknamed it, at the time, the Anti Space Jam during production, in reference to a certain 1996 movie starring Michael Jordan which also featured the Looney Tunes characters, but according to the people behind Back In Action 'warped their personalities'. Well, I don't know about that... and my recollections of SJ are somewhat hazy (having not seen it for years and years) but what I am quite sure of is it had a clear plot, and not just random scene hopping... not to mention a bit of substance besides the gag-a-minute formula which BIA mires itself in.And the sad truth is, that while a lot of these jokes are clever in design, none of them are particularly funny. And we get bombarded with them from every possible angle. Homages. Slapstick. Wordplay. All wrapped in a tired spy spoof. Give it a rest. The 'storyline', such as it is, regards Brendon Fraser and Jenna Elfman's attempts at stopping the head of the ACME corporation (a mugging, annoying Steve Martin wearing a terrible wig) from turning all the world into monkeys. I don't know... I think some of the primates may have worked on this script, judging by how hyperactive and unfocused everything is.We flit from Hollywood, to Las Vegas, to France at a moment's notice. This is a world where cartoon actors live alongside the flesh and blood variety, in a nod to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. How this film wishes it possessed a scintilla of that masterpiece's wit and charm. Fraser and Elfman are basically stand-ins while Bugs and Daffy do their usual schtick... but what was amusing and endearing in a five minute short can become drawn-out and repetitive when blown-up to feature length. When you have to resort to the Tazmanian Devil farting to get an easy laugh, you know you are getting quite desperate.Th-th-that's all folks (I just had to end on that) 5/10
