- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Pic lapses into formulaic predictability with nearly an hour of frenetic chase scenes and technically perfect explosions from Industrial Light & Magic."
-
"The film resembles one of those Saturday Night Live sketches that has one joke and keeps going"
-
"The problem was that it was supposed to be animated, but contractual obligations forced it to become a live-action movie"
-
"Using only the most superficial elements of its source material while discarding most of what made the comic interesting, the film serves as a textbook example of how to turn something into nothing."
-
2The story has no center; the duck is not likable, and the costly, overwrought, laser-filled special effects that conclude the movie are less impressive than a sparkler on a birthday cake"
-
"The real problem is Howard himself, an utterly charmless, cigar-smoking boor, who is not helped by the script's sophomoric attempts at humour."
