"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" | ||||
"There are a couple of mildly amusing moments, but overall Howard the Duck is a monumental waste of time." | ||||
"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." | ||||
"It's one of the worst movies ever made, but without the energy of the kind of bad movies that are fun to watch." |
