CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

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

invisibleunicornninja 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.

gavin6942 A sarcastic humanoid duck is pulled from his home world to Earth where he must stop an alien invader.Although several TV adaptations of Marvel characters had aired during the preceding 21 years, this was the first theatrically released feature film, coming after the serial "Captain America". Now, there is an interesting story about how and why that came together, and how this film indirectly created Pixar... but that is all history.I first saw this film as a child, maybe 12 years old, thanks to my babysitter. It stuck with me pretty well, as even now 25 years later there are scenes that are familiar and jokes that were lodged in my brain. This has "cult film" written all over it. Not good, not bad, but bad enough to be good in a bad way.

ChrisBergoch Howard was an inspiration. A hero. Best Marvel film ever. Best film of 1986. Best performance of Tim Robbins' career. Cherry Bomb was the best 80's band of them all. Howard sharing a bed with Lea Thompson's Beverly was more life changing than Slave Leia. '86 Howard (along with Ed Gale's signature voice) should have been there in the stinger for that well-received but lackluster 2014 film. Very dark day for all ducks on all planets.

OneEightNine Media 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.
