Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

alliance109 This movie evokes great memories for me. It's light hearted and different. If anybody hates this movie it's because they themselves have issues and should get some help. It's fun from beginning to end and yes it's cheesy but what's wrong with that?! My daughter and I have a blast every time its on. If you don't like this type of movie why would you watch it in the first place and destroy it for everyone else? STOP HATING!!

elsager I LOVE Howard. Who is Howrard, you ask? Howard is the Duck.In this cult classic, Howard the Duck has to come to earth accientally and then he falls in love with the mom from BTTF. I like it because the mom from BTTF the future is a good funny actress and I like it.Anyway, gotta go! Peace, Howard Nation!

Vanessa Guimarães I had the unfortunate experience to watch it as a child.I found extremely repulsive and humiliating to see a woman going to bed with this gross duck, and I think I remember there was even a "hard- on" scene with a shadow or something.Really I happen to hold the same view and find it disgusting and sexist to show a woman having sex with a beast.I pity the whole crew involved, including the main actress and I find it disappointing that Tim Robbins was actually in this movie (cause I didn't know and I liked him for some of his movies).I know that stupidity and all sorts of repugnant things will always be in the "art" and in the movies but STILL I am free to say I hate this movie with all my heart. Burn in hell stupid makes of this film!

David_Habert I don't care what anyone says about this movie. Because when it came out, a lot of critics hated it.However some people who reviewed Howard the Duck, also gave it a bad rating. Well I'm gonna set the record straight, you guys need to have an IQ test by the Janitor in this movie. Because it is one of the funniest movies that came out in the 80s, even though back then it was regarded as a flop.I'm not gonna get into the story of this movie, because most of the reviews on IMDb have already done that. The main part of this story is an experiment that went wrong and transported Howard from his world to ours.The end result was a cigar chomping duck with a very sarcastic sense of humour, he isn't a happy duck after landing on our planet. (But then again, would you be if you ended up getting transported to his planet and getting the same treatment he went through in this movie) One person who took pity on him was Beverly played by Lea Thompson. In the end Howard does come to her rescue when an accident causes a scientist to get possessed by a dark overlord.What I find very interesting now is that with the cameos of him appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy one and two, now would be a good time for the critics and the people who gave it bad reviews, give this movie another glance.I also believe that anyone who has seen Guardians of the Galaxy one and two, should also consider watching Howard the Duck. As it would give them an idea of what his character is like.All in all, where the special effects and story line are concerned, That's the only area which lets it down. But if your looking for fun and a lots of laughs, this movie would fit the bill. (bad choice of words I know, sue me) Just ignore the critics and the bad reviews, give Howard the Duck a chance. It's extremely funny and it's worth watching.
