Howard the Duck Reviews
Awesome movie regardless of what anyone says
Howard the Duck for some reason has gotten a really bad rap from moviegoers everywhere. In my opinion, it was one of the best films to come out of the 1980's. The story is extremely original and has outstanding special effects. George Lucas presents this outstanding off the wall comedy about a fast talking, cigar chomping, beer-loving duck from a parellel universe who somehow winds up in Cleveland. Howard winds up being the object of everyone's desire, in love with rock singer Lea Thompson, and doing battle with the evil Dark Overlord as he attempts to return to his own planet. All of the actors do a great job in this film. Lea Thompson is great as the rocker Beverly. Suprisingly, the relationship between her and Howard is actually touching and she has a pretty good voice. Believe it or not Tim Robbins is in this film, and is actually hillarious. He plays the crazy and off the wall scientist Phil Blumburtt. Jeffrey Jones known mainly for his role as the principal in Ferris Bueler's Day Off, gives the best performance as Doctor Jennings / Dark Overlord. He is hillarious in both roles, and really was able to turn on both at the drop of a hat.
" Howard the Duck " is one of my favorite films and one of the best to come out of the 80's. It is down right hillarious, has some decent acting, great special effects, and an original story. When you want laughs, don't look to Daffy or Donald, but to Howard the Duck!!!
All Hail Howard the Duck!!!
(...)Howard the Duck is all of this and more. I first saw this movie in theaters and loved it. Lea Thompson and the rest of her band The Cheery Bombs are sexy, and the theme song is real catchy!
The special effects are up to par with the technology at the time, and the comedy is right on the nose. I mean c'mon those Dark Overlords were pretty cool looking. Anyone who claims to hate this movie is obviously an 80's hater. (...) This film defines great 80's cinema and I could never understand the backlash. Many great movies have bombed at the theaters only to become favorite classics (the original Blues Brothers and It's a Wonderful Life come to mind).
(...)I will defend this movie until my dying day. Howard the Duck is a great movie from the greatest decade of the 20th Century. Hail Howard!!!
