Coyote Vs. Acme

Finally.

I'd like to thank everybody who made this theatrical release possible, as someone who was keeping tabs on this production and can firmly say go fuck yourself on your tax write offs WB, I'm happy to report this was indeed a good movie! It pretty much is as the tin says, the Coyote after decades of fruitlessly chasing the Roadrunner with faulty tech sues the Acme corporation as the film follows down and out attorney Kevin Avery who literally rises to the bar to expose the corporation. And it has my heart till the end of time for a ruthless and scathing view of companies, corporations, politicians, and all around scumbags who can eat shit and die while still crafting a highly enjoyable and indeed funny film. I have always loved the Coyote and the love has only grown since walking out of the cinema, they got this character down pitch perfect in every way, maintaining the silent comedy even in the midst of all this other story. Will Forte is a solid lead and given the fact he has to act opposite a character that isn't there does a decent job, and has quite good comedic timing to add to the plethora of Looney Tunes characters. Lana Condor was kinda my shining star throughout bringing a lot of energy and even positivity to the mix as the true supporter for Kevin and sure knows her stuff when it comes to law. And in terms of the toons if you're any kind of hardcore fan you'll be seeing actually more of the obscure and less popular characters than the big main stars. Sure you get Bugs, Daffy, Taz, Foghorn Leghorn, and Porky but the side characters get more frequent screentime that adds to the world. Though I do find it hilarious all these famous cartoon characters are found around Albuquerque, New Mexico. For a film a notch over 90 minutes it kinda surprised me how quick we got to the first court scene, it really doesn't waste your time but it's not a 12 Angry Men situation where you're stuck in the court. There's plenty of breaks and investigations with that classic Looney Tunes comedy which again they handled super well. It's a very funny film and got a few big laughs out of me and it seemed the theater I was at was digging it too. The pacing was solid, I was kinda shocked near the end how they handled the verdict but a film of this caliber ain't gonna end on a sour note and as a fledgling anarchist seeing the Coyote explosively respond to the Acme higher ups brought such joy to me. I very much enjoyed this movie and hope it endures great success and praise, may not be one of the greatest movies of all time but damn good nevertheless. I give it 3 stars, 8/10, now if only we could get that Batgirl movie out into the world then I could feel that justice for all isn't just words.
