shoot the duck please

I watched this in the 80s as a child & then i wasn't even impressed. I
tried to watch this for the first time since then the other day & just
could not. There is a reason there's a stop button on the remote for
them special times when a movie is so retarded that it just cannot be
watched any further. This was the case. I was a half hour in when i
could not stand it anymore & out of sheer embarrassment clicked the
stop button on demand TV. Never again will i attempt to watch this. The
acting is terrible. The movie looks terrible & hate to say it the duck
boobs are about as interesting as it get. I remember why in the 80's i
hated this.Good going,George Lucus. Don't quit your day job of making Star Wars
movies or helping your bud Spielburg with the Indiana Jones flick

Better than it has a right to be

I loved this movie when I was 8 so I rented it again now that I'm 29 to
see how I'd feel now. I was pleasantly surprised when it was really not
a bad movie. It's really pretty funny and I picked up on a lot of
things I didn't when I was 8 (the naked duck in the tub with breasts,
for instance). And Jeffrey Jones was phenomenal when possessed by the
dark lord. He just ran with it and gave one of the best possessed
villain performances I have ever seen. By the end I was laughing
hysterically. It's certainly not the masterpiece Star Wars is but I
think George Lucas got a bad rap. Everyone was expecting another movie
like Star Wars but I think he was trying to have a little more fun.
Because whatever else Howard the Duck is, it's a fun movie. It zips
along at a nice pace and holds your attention. I'm going to have to
find this movie and buy it because it really was a good time.

Not the "Worst Movie of all Time" as many sources state

Although, this will never get its place on anyone's favorite list, it
is actually quite funny in places and many other so-called quality
movies that were put out in the 80s were similarly bad. The one thing
that gave them a higher regard was that they were basically attached
with a star.Okay, so you may hate Lea Thompson's performance here, but I think you
can honestly say that she gives it her all, despite being second banana
to a guy in a duck suit. You may hate the fact that George Lucas, a
name that's usually connected to something a little more high brow was
connected with this piece of light fluff. And last but not least, the
famous comic book character on which this was based - oohh, it was not
a faithful rendering of that character. Give me a break.Every character is pulled in one direction or the other to make it a
little more interesting. Here, we have a wise ass duck who is smitten
by a girl - a human girl. Okay, it's ridiculous but it is nothing that
hasn't been done worse in countless other movies.I actually liked most of the characters, especially Tim Robbins. I
don't think he has ever appeared as silly as he does here and probably
ever again. And the great Jeffrey Jones as Jennings/Dark Overlord.
Okay, his voice is a bit much and the visual effects in his scenes are
quite unimpressive.Come on, this is supposed to be mindless entertainment and on that
level Howard the Duck certainly succeeds.
