Now, when I say I do not understant why anyone would kill this movie, I mean it, I do not know.

Look, Coyote vs. Acme is just more than words.

This movie is amazing and the whole idea of Wile Coyote being tired of Acme and going after them to sue them for everything they have done to him is just amazing to watch.

The whole setup happens in a world where humans and cartoons live together and co-exist kinda equally.

While watching this, I was thinking it would be a bore, like one of those courtroom dramas with animation running riot up and down and making it boring, but it was not.

This is a well-animated 3D movie with real-life humans alongside the cartoons, and of all the crossovers between the Looney Tunes and humans, this is just as good as Space Jam from the '90s. Let us all agree not to think about the other two crossover movies.

So, what is this movie about in detail? Well, with the same classic voice work you are used to and the same character designs you loved, this movie is just what I said above, Wile E. Coyote suing Acme for all the bad tools and gadgets that backfire on him when he tries to catch Road Runner.

The lawyer he chooses to help him get this done is a small-time lawyer named Kevin (Will Forte), who was hoping to make a quick buck and get away. But Wile Coyote is tired and does not want a quick buck, he wants to bring Acme down. So Kevin has to go up against another lawyer he went to school with, Buddy, played by John Cena, and the comedy in this thing is just what I love.

It is not laugh-out-loud, rolling-on-the-floor funny, it is the kind that keeps you smiling and locked in as you watch the trial go on, with Coyote's team actually seeing how hard it is to catch Road Runner. They also meet other Toons, especially Daffy, who seems to have lost it because of all the things Acme has done to him.

Now, I will warn you, this is not a runaway classic, it is just a smooth watch, and the middle does drag a bit when it gets predictable, with Kevin's assistant and niece Lana giving us the same boring speech we already know.

"I did this because I wanted to win cases, I wanted to be a real lawyer," and all that. Then he goes through a low point before picking himself back up, all that predictable stretch.

But after all that, the movie pulls one over on you, I did not see it coming that Wile Coyote will always be a Coyote, and Road Runner is still the food he craves.

Now, the movie ending, hmm, was not as fun or cool as I expected.

In the end, I am glad I got to see this because Warner Bros. buried it because they wanted to get a tax benefit, and we all almost missed out on a good movie. Go see it, it is worth your time.
