Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Highly Overrated But Still Good

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The third episode of Chuck Jones' wonderful Road Runner series, this is by far the best of the three, and the one that really made this cartoon something special and unique. Jones and writer Michael Maltese allowed their imaginations to run wild, and the result is lots of fun for everyone. Everyone, of course, except poor Wile E Coyote, who must feel the entire universe is against him! *SPOILER ALERT -- WATCH THE CARTOON FIRST BEFORE READING ANY FURTHER.* He has to contend with the crazy laws of cartoon physics, which allow the Road Runner to speed right into a painting placed at the edge of a deep, deep canyon, while the confused and enraged Coyote can only hurl himself right through it and plummet to the ground far below, leaving a dust cloud spelling out "OH NO!" in his wake. His expressions throughout this scene (and the rest of the cartoon) are priceless. These same goofy laws of physics allow him to outrace an anvil he'd dropped several seconds before to the bottom of yet another canyon -- and we all know where that anvil will land. Carl Stalling's musical score is also the best thus far, especially the flute which sweetly plays as the rope around Wile E's hot-air balloon unravels. My only complaint is the ending is disappointingly similar to the previous two episodes (vehicles just can't seem to resist running him down, can they? -- but this time, we discover why!) Overall, though, a great cartoon, and one of the best in the entire series!

Going! Going! Gosh! (1952) *** (out of 4) Third in the series has the Coyote using all sorts of extremes to try and capture the Road Runner. This time out we get a hot air balloon, a cliff falling and even cross dressing. My one complaint for this series is that the same stuff just keeps happening over and over and perhaps this isn't as noticeable in only the third film but it is something that has kept this duo off my favorites list. Even with that said this is still en enjoyable cartoon that manages to fly by because you just can't help but feel sorry for Wile E. Coyote. No matter how dumb he is or how many times he fails, you can't help but admire him for the effort. The highlight has to be the two scenes where he meets a truck head on.

Chuck Jones's 'Going! Going! Gosh!', the third cartoon in the Road Runner series, has the invigorating feel of a series coming to life. 'Fast and Furry-ous' established the characters and 'Beep Beep' experimented with different forms and lengths of joke but 'Going! Going! Gosh!' feels like the first classic Road Runner. The quality of gags has risen significantly in this outing and the animation is also a cut above. There are a couple of reused gags even at this early stage but the sheer vivaciousness of the animation and direction breathe new life into them. This may be my favourite example of the oft used logic-defying painted landscape gag, for instance. This is Road Runner as it is most fondly remembered: quick fire, fast paced and very funny, even when you can see the punch line coming a mile away. 'Going! Going! Gosh!' provides an equal amount of gags where you go "I knew that was going to happen" and ones where you go "Oh, I didn't see that coming". It keeps the viewer on their toes, ensuring there's never a chance to get bored. It's the thrilling moment that the Road Runner series really found its feet.

This Road Runner vs. Wile E. Coyote cartoon is another decent entry in the series. The Coyote, or the Carnivorous Vulgaris, chases the Road Runner, introduced as Accelarti Incredibius, again. This time he paints a road where the real road is ending. Of course the Road Runner is able to walk that fake road and after him a truck as well. Coyote also dresses up as a woman and tries to drop an anvil on the Road Runner, of course every attempt without any success.Another nice cartoon this is, although a Road Runner cartoon can never disappoint me. This is not the best from the series, especially the animation is not that great, but I had my smiles and some laughs.
