Reviews for Cool World
Telling you that I liked Ralph Bakshi's Cool World a whole lot more than I expected to isn't really saying a whole lot for the movie.
01/01/00
Hopeless.
05/15/09
Although director Ralph Bakshi’s imagination is certainly present, Cool World is too full of itself to create any magic.
03/07/04
A surprisingly incompetent film.
01/01/00
Top CriticHere's hoping cartoons and noir will meet again on another, more auspicious, day.
12/05/03
What Bakshi has come up with is merely a one-joke movie -- and it's a dirty joke.
01/01/00
What are the rules anyway?
01/01/00
Top Critica major misfire from a deeply gifted filmmaker and artist whose career was already on the rocks
12/23/03
Unfortunately, the film doesn’t have much else to offer beyond narrative incoherence and bad acting.
01/21/04
There are a few clever little satires on other animated films and perhaps a good line or two, but the incoherent story just is not very interesting.
01/01/00
A realm with precious little humor and zero pathos, to be admired only for its considerable technical achievements.
03/26/09
Top CriticCritics often use the word 'incomprehensible' when referring to a poorly constructed movie, but nowhere is this assessment more accurate than in the case of Cool World.
04/11/04
Even the eventual universe-shaking shag is an anti-climax, and by the time all hell rips loose just before the abysmally contrived happy ending, you're well past caring.
02/09/06
The doodles are thoroughly repulsive and, worse, unfunny.
05/15/09
Bakshi has carved out a niche for himself directing mixes of animation and live action, but he's let down here by an unconvincing script and characters.
05/15/09
One of my favorite movies that I didn't like.
01/21/04
Wanted to be the next Roger Rabbit. Turned out to be a watered down 'Fritz the Cat.'
04/14/03
Both the live and animated characters are equally uninteresting.
