6/10
I'd actually never seen this before, at least not recently and in full. Its achievement in blending live-action and animation is still impressive and pretty seamlessly done, especially considering it was 1988. It's also far riskier than anything that would be allowed in a similar film made today, especially one that has Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse making appearances. But it's not a particularly good movie per se - Roger Rabbit is an overwhelmingly irritating main character to be saddled with for 90 minutes and Bob Hoskins, for most of the movie, displays the charisma of a brick. Considering those two dominate the screen time, I was left desperately searching for something likeable (Jessica Rabbit, anyone?) The plot is more muddled than it has to be, but the set pieces entertain well enough.
