Critics Consensus
Though the film stays true to the nature of the original cartoon, the script is disappointing and not funny.

It's quite clever and quite cute, in a 10-minute-joke-stretched-into-a-feature kind of way.
Rated: 2/5

While the movie continually teeters on the brink of abject corniness, it never quite topples off. And it doesn't hurt to have Robert De Niro, Rene Russo and Jason Alexander camping it up as cartoon villains come to life.

Observer (UK)
Rocky and Bullwinkle is directed by Des McAnuff, who presumably took on this chore after the failure of his imaginative, challenging version of Ted Hughes's The Iron Giant [which he produced]. Very sad.

...the picture eventually segues into a frenetic and mostly kid-oriented midsection that slowly-but-surely drains one's interest...
Rated: 2/4

In their natural pen and paint environment, Rocky and Bullwinkle shine. But they seem as dull as dishwater, and completely out of place, in a live action world. Hence, their Adventures never connect with viewers.

5/5
Robert De Niro's greatest role, possibly, with some of the greatest live action CGI that was just as, if not more, revolutionary than Jurassic Park. Jason Alexander and Rene Russo WERE Boris and Natasha come to life.

Not funny and a disappointing script, even though the animation looks good.

Even if i never watched the original Rocky & Bullwinkle show i still find the movie to be.....average. The story & writing may be cheap but clever, The CGI on both Rocky and Bullwinkle are really clever, the acting (while spot on) can sometimes be sup-par, the cartoon effects can be a little too distracting (but not too annoying to the point that it really gets under your skin) and the jokes are more of a mix-bag on one hand there are some of the jokes are funny but are some jokes that are just well not insufferably bad just overwhelmingly dreadful, if you want something entertaining then maybe go check it out if not just find a better movie or just use it as a kid distractor but don't expect to have high expectations on this film . Overall The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle is just okay, not great but certainly not terrible either.
