The Razzies at this point just feel like the “No Fun Allowed” awards. My bigger problem with the Razzies at this point isn't even that they don't like fun or even that their choices are "wrong", they're just so safe.Like, give Neil Breen a lifetime achievement award or have a Worst random movie thrown to streaming award, just stuff that isn't the obvious stuff. Go full award show parody, get the people behind those Devolver E3 conferences to do it. Also, Sandra Bullock doing a speech after winning Worst Actress and then winning Best Actress at the Oscars the next day pretty much killed this present version dead. There was no way to come back from that.

I watched it last night. It was ok, I didn't hate it. But I also felt it could have been so much more.
1 - Not enough time with the Looney Tunes, too much time with Al G Rhythm, LeBron and his son. Al G Rhythm was boring, some of his scenes could easily have been cut to give more screentime to the Tunes.
2 - The most interesting bit was seeing the Looney Tunes interacting with other worlds. That was great ... the little we saw. Really, they could have wrapped up LeBron been sucked into the Serverworld in like 20 minutes and devoted an extra half an hour to that, so we could see more and even use other franchises. Sylvester and Tweety with The Flintstones, Taz causing chaos with Scooby Doo (that'd be great, the Scooby Gang investigating a ghost and it's Taz causing chaos), Elmer Fudd hunting King King etc.
3 - I enjoyed the end basketball game, but I think I'd have preferred it to be an actual basketball game like the original one rather than a basketball-themed video game, and kept it 2D animated. Or, even switched it up by having Al G Rhythm switch the game to a baseball game to throw LeBron off--that could have been fun.
The humor was there though. Loved the brief moments we saw with Daffy (really underutilised) and Foghorn (ditto). Best scene for me was Wile E. Coyote and his machine actually working and getting most points for the Tune Squad.

This movie really confused me as to was its target audience.
Is it kids? It doesn't feel like it as what kid is going to get references to Austin Powers, Game of Thrones and the Matrix? Or know who Michael B Jordan is (I'm sure kids know him much more as 'the bad guy from Black Panther').
Is it adults like me who have nostalgia for the original? It doesn't feel like it, as bar the aforementioned Michael B Jordan joke, the gags really didn't land.
I just felt like the movie wasn't really thought out as to who it was meant to be for, so it tries to be for everyone and feels like it's for no-one. It wasn't for me and based off the lack of laughs from any of the kids in the reasonably full cinema when I saw it, it wasn't for them.
