Absolutely Brilliant!
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
I didn't see this in 2000 when it came out due to bad reviews. I decided to watch it 16 years later. I watched Rocky and Bulwinkle as a child. It was a show about cold war humor and bad puns. The movie uses these characters true to form. The humor is the same humor from the cartoon, the cold war and bad puns. I think with 16 years of time passage, I had no expectations of astounding special effects. I was hopeful that it would be reminiscent of the cartoon, which it was. If you expect your mind to be blown it won't. If you want to see one last adventure with Moose and Squirrel, here it is. The live actors performing Fearless Leader, Boris and Natasha, capture the essence of the characters and seem to to love what they are trying to do.
In 1964, The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show is canceled. Thirty five years later, Rocky and Bullwinkle's world is crumbling. Rocky doesn't even fly anymore. With the fall of the Iron Curtan, Fearless Leader (Robert De Niro), Boris Badenov (Jason Alexander), and Natasha Fatale (Rene Russo) go underground and dig their way to Hollywood. Studio executive Minnie Mogul signs a contract with the trio attached to the project which gets them pulled into the real world. They are buying up all the cable channels to broadcast RBTV (Really Bad TeleVision) and hypnotize the country. FBI agent Karen Sympathy (Piper Perabo) is sent to get Rocky and Bullwinkle to take down the villains.This movie keeps to the spirit of goofy humor of the original TV show. It is full of the sly comedy and sarcastic references. I would have liked all the characters from the cartoon to remain in their 2 dimensional animated look. It's probably a mistake to have real actors play the cartoon villains. No matter how hard the three actors try, they can never get the cartoon feeling into their characters. They feel flat and rather tiresome. Piper Perabo is adorable and works well with Rocky and Bullwinkle. However she gets separated from them and the chemistry dissipates. It's a simple road trip movie and should be a lot easier than this.
This movie was a BIG disappointment to everyone! I don't think many people who wrote the script or worked on the movie had even seen many Rocky and Bullwinkle shows. Most reviewers panned it when it came out, as a big rip-off. --"Rotten Tomatoes" says that only 23% of viewers even liked it. Jason Alexander, Robert de Niro, Reneee Russo et. al. are given NOTHING to do in the film and are completely wasted, and Rocky and the Moose get little enough screen time themselves. Lame, lame plot that seems to be something about how Hollywood studios "greenlight" a film. Very few funny or original jokes, not much relation to the original show. Pepper Perambulo--a forgotten ingenue of 12 years ago (remember Tawney Kittaen?) seems to get most screen time. I pretty much thought she must have been sleeping with one of the producers or financiers of the film.All the REAL "Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" shows are available for FREE on Hulu.com. Watch it there and forget this mess!--Yuck!!
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
