Very disappointing...

Such a frustrating disappointment

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This movie evokes great memories for me. It's light hearted and different. If anybody hates this movie it's because they themselves have issues and should get some help. It's fun from beginning to end and yes it's cheesy but what's wrong with that?! My daughter and I have a blast every time its on. If you don't like this type of movie why would you watch it in the first place and destroy it for everyone else? STOP HATING!!

I was planning on just watching this movie as a joke, but then actually found myself enjoying this movie. Its not a cinematic masterpiece, but its definitely worth watching. I know that this is the type of movie that's bound to get some insults, but the amount of hatred towards it is honestly a bit surprising. Sights and Sounds - The overall look of this movie is actually pretty decent, especially considering when it was made. The cinematography is just ok. Nothing spectacular, but certainly not boring. The audio was surprisingly good. I usually have a lot of trouble hearing what's being said in older movies, but I had no problems with this move. The costume (or puppet, I'm not entirely sure) for Howard is actually pretty good for the most part. Some of the effects are pretty bad, but for the time they're good. Characters - The acting isn't that bad, but it isn't good by any means. Some of the line delivery is a bit iffy, but its not terrible. I mean, yes, some of the acting made me laugh through the "serious" parts, but its not as bad as it could be.Tone - This movie is hilarious, especially when its not trying to be. There are actually a considerable number of scenes that are trying to be serious and dramatic, but they're way to funny. This movie is a comedy all the way through.Plot - This movie probably shouldn't be rated PG. There's a lot of adult themes in this movie that could've been explored if they weren't trying to market this towards children. That being said, the plot is a bit simplistic for a lot of adults to enjoy. There are actually a lot of concepts in this movie that are actually pretty interesting. If this movie was remade with an R rating and a better script, I'd probably go see this. This movie isn't as bas as some people make it out to be, but that's not to say that it doesn't have potential.

Much to my dismay, I watched this because of GOTG 2. I knew this was going to be garbage going in. But what gets me is how well produced this film is for something done in the 80s. You know what? I know what this film feels like. This film feels like something the current DC universe would put out. Totally well produced garbage. Neat special effects but with a story practically written in crayon and dumbed down for a fourth grade audience while having crude adult oriented sexuality just for the hell of it. But yeah, at least Marvel learned their lesson.

I saw this film when I was 13/ I wish they brought some characters from the comics. I wish they brought in doctor bong who had a crush on Beverly in high school. Wanda the girl with the lisp. the kidney lady who taunts Howard for smoking on the buss. this film is lacking many areas on the plus side it has a small role for pre21 jump street Holly Robinson. Lea Thompson played a good Beverly the duck costume needed to look like the duck in the comic. .The producers of the film should of consulted Steve Gerber Howard creator. I have issue numbers 2.6. 31 of the original comic a preview of the newer Howard the duck. I love Howard the duck people I know who are in to comics don't understand why I love Howard the duck this movie will never change their minds just reinforce what they think the duck is. maybe in the future Howard will appear in guardians of the galaxy and he pick up the duck comics and see them as I did years ago when I read them.
