    A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

    It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

    Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

    One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

    As Sawyer said..this was the best animated series of the time...So I am still asking "When are we going to get a Live Action version of this gem of creativity and adventure??"I don't care who's going to be cast as wonder woman, etc. I want to know who is going to play Johnny!!!!Who is going to play Race and Hadji? Could be a break through role for someone. There is a lot of casting opportunities for a project like this to do something different and bring some new faces to the screen as well.If I had the big bucks...THIS is the property I would be investing in (see below)! With today's CGI those hover crafts and other cool gadgets could look pretty realistic. And animal casting has gone so much further since the days of Frank Inn (Benji) that could be cool. (No scooby doo please.) Film or TV, I don't have a preference, but if you do, let us know...... So how about it people? A write-in campaign to Fox or Universal requesting a Live Action production? (old school method) Or maybe someone knows a producer who is interested in initiating a KickStarter campaign and we'll just fund it ourselves!(new school method).We are the boomer generation....we have "proven" that anything is possible!! - (Anything, that is, except entering the word "proven" into an IMDb review without quotes. Don't know why this editor refuses to accept an "n" on the end of the word "prove" in this context, it is a real word, I've tried 3 times to correct it..sorry grammaticians)

    First there was the Flintstones and then The Jetsons, both comical animated sitcom classics. Then, in 1964, Hanna-Barbera debuted another adult cartoon in prime time on the same network, ABC, called "Jonny Quest", and it was one of the first cartoons to show realistic violence and plenty of action. Although it didn't last long due to its high budget animation, it became a cult classic and enjoyed heavy rotation in syndication to force HB to bring back JQ for a 1980's and 1990's revival with some minor success, not to mention an upcoming live-action feature film in 2012. As for the show, it's among the greatest 1960's cartoons of all time. Great music, animation, and storyline make this a classic.

    I have made no secret of loving Hanna-Barbera, Scooby Doo Where Are You?, The Flintstones and Tom and Jerry are three of my all-time favourite shows, animated or non-animated. Jonny Quest is among their best, it is such a great show, cool and original and definitely a must watch.The animation may be dated by today's standards, but I think the drawings, character designs, backgrounds and colours are still very good and attractive. The music is one of the show's coolest assets, I love how funky it is, while the writing is intelligent with some very strong humour and the story lines are original and fun. And I love the characters, Jonny is a wonderful protagonist and you can't help but love Bandit. The best though is Race Bannon who is so strong, suave and sexy, I have to agree with anyone who says any small boy would want to grow up to be like him.Overall, wonderful and a must for animation or Hanna-Barbera fans! 10/10 Bathany Cox

    Jonny Quest was the ultimate experience for me as an 8 year old boy. Race Bannon and Mr. Quest were excellent role models providing both intellectual and physical goals for a young boy. Jonnny's adventures around the globe were perfect ways to capture the attention of a young man growing up in an unfolding and interesting world.I remember my mother being part of a coalition to get rid of JQ and other cartoons on the TV at the time. How misguided! These are the same people who want to get rid of the early Disney movies because they think they are too realistic for children.Now I see the "new" version of Jonny Quest. The global adventures have been TRADED for time tsaken up with a girl who wastes time by being insulting to Jonny and taking up the time that could have been spent on an adventure. The original series DID NOT have gay overtones. The only people who saw gayness had gayness on the brain. The real casualty of the "new and improved" Jonny Quest is the loss of male role models for young boys in favor of being tied to women.
