  • Bob Hoskins was fine, but I feel that the script did him dirty, in light of the execution scene.

    Me the viewer found Valliant doing a funny slapstick vaudville performance to stop more executions felt sickening. I don’t actually recall the timing of this specific plot point relative to his performance, so don’t know if he was knowingly hamming it up in front of the toon that murdered his brother.

    I wouldn’t be fixating on the word execution, if the antagonist didn’t drive home the existential point. To further enhance what I’m getting at, think of the specific actions committed by that shoe that cost it its life.


  • I feel conspicuous too, given how beloved the movie is.

    I’d say Jessica Rabbit voiced by Kathleen Turner, is the singular thing that I enjoyed when I went to the theater to watch this.

    I had 2 major problems with the movie.

    It was dark. I was expecting cartoon fun. I watched an animated shoe get executed.

    I found Roger to be intensely unlikeable. I think he acted like shit, and treated the PI character that was trying to help him like shit.

    Unlikeable protagonist in an unnecessarily dark movie.
