Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . HOOK, LINE AND STINKER into 21st Century Prophecies, the Road Runner's scientific name Morphs from "Burnius Roadibus" to Hotrodhammer Clintospeedius, while Wile E. Coyote's Latin Name ("Famishius-Famishius") becomes Dumpius Trumpius. STINKER is surely keeping the U.S. Secret Service up at night as this review is being written, since it foresees Trumpius being blown up, bludgeoned, railroaded, lightning-struck, piano-crushed, blown up again, and finally Rube Goldberged to smithereens. As Hotrodhammer wolfs down Coyote Trumpius' lunch, Dumpius has to content himself with eating her dust. (The Transgendered Clintospeedius would have to debate what public rest rooms to use for her "disgusting" business in North Carolina, which will have to rely on Trumpius Rallies as their ONLY form of live entertainment for the long-term future, now that all the institutions of the Civilized World have canceled every scheduled event within the borders of America's Tarry Heels state.) Given all the carnage wreaked against him in STINKER, perhaps the best post-election option for Trumpius would be to seek political asylum with his buddy Vlad "The Impaler" Putin in Russia. Maybe he could make another "sacrifice" by erecting a Trumpius Tower next to the Kremlin.

utgard14 Lesser Chuck Jones Road Runner & Coyote short that's still better than all of the stuff that came after Jones left the series. The animation is solid, if not particularly exceptional. The colors are kind of dull, which is odd for the time. I thought maybe it was just the print I saw off TV but I checked out the DVD version and it appears to be the same there. As other reviewers have mentioned, the one notable gag involves a piano. The rest are pretty forgettable gags involving hammers, dynamite, and bird seed. What hurts the cartoon most of all is the canned music score, which is annoying and below the superior quality of the usual composers who worked in WB animation.

TheLittleSongbird ...but Hook, Line and Stinker is not what I consider a favourite. The animation is not too bad, it is solid enough, some of the gags are decent namely the piano gag and the overall quality when watching it on TV or DVD is nice. Also Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote's antics are reasonably funny. However, the running time is disappointingly scant, and I found the pacing rather hectic. But the most disappointing asset was the music. These Looney Tunes usually have great music, with quirky motifs and rousing rhythms, but here I(a musician myself) found the music, as others have pointed out, annoying and repetitive.Overall, not bad, but not great either. 6/10 Bethany Cox

archiveguy Not a bad Roadrunner effort, the film is hindered substantially by a score that will not let up, hammering away at the comedy when silence usually works best when Wile E.'s plans start to fail. Especially unfortunate since this is one where an early Coyote mishap provides an ongoing thread throughout the rest of the short--a nice Jones touch.
