Howard: A New Breed of Hero

Sci-Fi. Comedy. Fantasy A scientific brings Howard the Duck to earth, and a group of teenagers must keep him from the scientists tracking him down.
Media Author Review
United States
Variety
"Pic lapses into formulaic predictability with nearly an hour of frenetic chase scenes and technically perfect explosions from Industrial Light & Magic."
United States
AV Club
"The film resembles one of those Saturday Night Live sketches that has one joke and keeps going"
United States
Rolling Stone
"The problem was that it was supposed to be animated, but contractual obligations forced it to become a live-action movie"
United States
TV Guide
"There are a couple of mildly amusing moments, but overall Howard the Duck is a monumental waste of time." 
United States
Slate
"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."
United States
Chicago Tribune
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"
United Kingdom
The Guardian
"The real problem is Howard himself, an utterly charmless, cigar-smoking boor, who is not helped by the script's sophomoric attempts at humour."
United States
Boston Globe
"It's one of the worst movies ever made, but without the energy of the kind of bad movies that are fun to watch."
