Reviews for Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Top CriticGreat fun to watch -- and not just for kids.
09/03/08
It has become deservedly recognized as a cinema classic.
02/09/08
A Hollywood entertainment that lived up to its hype.
11/14/07
Top CriticWhile flawlessly delivered, it's overkill -- so loud and excessive, it makes our head swim.
11/14/07
The real stars are the animators, under British animation director Richard Williams, who pull off a technically amazing feat of having humans and Toons seem to be interacting with one another.

Top CriticYet with all that, Zemeckis' $70 million technical tour de force doesn't get pulled down in the undertow of its own cleverness.
04/08/06
Supremely entertaining -- especially for adults.

Not as good as the book, but nonetheless superb.
01/12/05
It's still a superb film, a rare big budget blockbuster that concentrates on a clever story, crisp performances, and brilliant jokes while using its groundbreaking special effects only as window dressing rather than as the main event.

Hoskins está fabuloso, e deveria ter sido indicado ao Oscar. O roteiro decepciona ao não explorar totalmente o potencial do projeto e ao criar uma trama policial pouco interessante. No geral, porém, tem chances de virar clássico.
