Critics 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.

Cool World isn't difficult to watch (there's too much insanity floating around to be bored), it's just impossible to digest, absent any grounded activities that could elevate the viewing experience past weirdo cartoon diarrhea.

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.

A realm with precious little humor and zero pathos, to be admired only for its considerable technical achievements.

Here's hoping cartoons and noir will meet again on another, more auspicious, day.
Apollo Guide
Although director Ralph Bakshi's imagination is certainly present, Cool World is too full of itself to create any magic.
