What the hell did I just watch?


Wow! That was bad.

A very awesome movie!

I guess I just wasn’t in tune with it. Oh well, at least I tried.

Just another wild imaginative 80s movie. Fun stuff. And crazy as ever.

I heart the comic was pretty funny. Real adult type stuff humor

reply

The comic was so much better, a satiric gem!

reply

Hmm, I should check out the comic then.

reply

The book of the film is great!
re read it recently

reply

Is it comic book style?

reply

no its just standard book stlye , but pretty funny
breaks the 4th wall here and there , and has interviews with the characters

Also becasue you're not actually looking at the talking 3ft duck , it makes it more , er ,believable

You just watched a masterpiece of 1980s cinematic art.

reply

You watched a really fun movie.

reply

I liked it then when I watched it on VHS, and I like it now still. I'm glad to own the Blu Ray.

It's just a silly 80s movie from the same era that gave us other crazy fantasy stuff like The Golden Child and Big Trouble in Little China.

the best Marvel film

It's terrible. Unwatchable terrible, not even amusingly terrible.

reply

Yeah. Alas, it is bad, although I personally don't think it's any worse than, say, the 1990s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, and it at least has a brilliant John Barrie score and some interesting, if not always entirely successful, special effects. It doesn't remotely work, but as far as big budget travesties go, at least it's a vaguely interesting one rather than a completely boring one. Also, it's got a great promotional poster.
