Looney Tunes: Back in Action , a review by Dragonfire

Looney Tunes: Back in Action Yikes! The fate of the human race is in the hands of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, teaming to wreck hilarious comic mayhem in a fast-paced family adventure combining live-action (starring Brendan Fraser, Jenna Elfman, Steve Martin and more) with animation (a hilarious cavalcade of Looney Tunes greats). Join the Tunesters as they try to obtain the powerful Blue Monkey gem and stop Acme Corp.'s grab for weird wide worldwide domination. Connect with your inner Daffy for hare-brained wit and mystery most fowl. For pratfalls and movie in-jokes. For Acme anvils. For more fun than you can catch in just one viewing. The Looneytics are running the asylum. Welcome to 'their' world. My Thoughts I love the Looney Tunes characters and cartoons.  I saw this movie in the theater when it came out.  Yes it is silly, but that silliness works for the movie and helps to make it fun and entertaining.  The idea of cartoon characters being real and able to interact with real people is something that came up in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, another movie I really enjoyed.  The plot is very simple, but it manages to be entertaining.  There is a decent amount of humor to what is going on, though there is a lot of silliness to the humor.  That may bother some people, but I think it works for the movie and helps make things more entertaining.  Even the action is more silly and humorous.  Several different Looney Tunes characters turn up throughout the movie, though many of them are just briefly shown and don't actually do much.  The characters are entertaining, though it would have been nice if some of them had more to do.  Bugs and Daffy receive the most attention since they are in most of the movie.  The two of them don't always get along, which fits with how the characters were established originally in the cartoons.  The human characters are a bit over the top, which does work for the plot.  Steve Martin does a really good job as the villain. I did post a review about this after seeing the movie in the theater.  Looney Tunes:  Back in Action

Having watched the series review by sfdebirs, I got into the mood to rewatch this series again. Initially I have planned to do a marathon thread, but today my brother said he wanted to watch them with me. So I plan to watch them series by series instead of episode by episode.

With "The End" the series is off to a great start. I still very much enjoy this episode. The character introductions are great. And who can forget the "Everybody's dead, Dave" delivery by Holly.

My favorite episode from the first series is "Future Echoes". These echoes are a nice concept and very fun to watch. Especially the scene with the conversation between Lister and the Echo-Rimmer followed by Lister and the real Rimmer when we finally understand, what the first conversation is about. This scene was it, which completely won me over to Red Dwarf when I first watched this show.

The other episodes are nice, but not so good as the first two. The final episode comes close though. It's fun having Rimmer have to live with himself. Also the episode "Waiting for God" is enjoyable, where Lister learns that he is a god to the cat people.
