Average Rating: Rating: - So funny I can hardly stand it!!!!! I grew up watching this movie so maybe I am a little biased, but I love it. I love it. I love it. I can't say it enough. I laugh every time I see it. I really feel that no one could play Popeye better then one of the greatest comedians of all time, Robin Williams. He showed us with his performance just what Popeye was made of. Then there is Shelly Duval as Olive Oil. She looks like she just walked right out of the cartoon and onto our TV and movie screens. Every character is done to perfection and this is such a great movie that it does break my heart whenever I hear it critisied. I know you will love it to if you just give it a chance. And don't just watch it once. Watch it a few times and allow the greatness of it's comedy to sink in. I feel like if you don't see the great sence of humor in it then maybe you dont have one. Rating: - WHY is this not on DVD yet?? 'Fess up, everyone, Robin Williams is one of the best actors in the world today. Remember 'Good Morning Vietnam'? 'Life According to Garp'? 'Dead Poet's Society'? 'Awakenings'? 'The Fisher King'? 'Insomnia'??? Ok, maybe not 'Insomnia' so much, but c'mon~ Williams ROCKS! Well, guess where it all started? Yeah, yeah, he was on Laugh In and Mork and Mindy and SNL and 'Can I do it Til I need Glasses?', but that's all small stuff compared to the greatest movie Robin Williams made in all of 1980 ~ "POPEYE"!!! This movie has absolutely everything necessary to make a great movie - Popeye beating the heck out of a room full of thugs, songs about food, Bluto punching stuff and knocking down large portions of a town, a cute baby, Bluto singing about how mean he is, and a guy getting kicked so hard in the butt that he flies off into the ocean! Plus Shelly Duvall! WoW! And it has some of the funniest moments in the world, like when Popeye is trying to convince Poopdeck Pappy that he's the father that Popeye has been searching his whole life for: Popeye: We got the same bulgy arms. Poopdeck Pappy: No resemblence. Popeye: We got the same squinky eye. Poopdeck Pappy: What squinky eye? Popeye: We even got the same pipe, Pap. Poopdeck Pappy: You ijit, you can't inherit a pipe! The movie has 'Blockbuster' written all over it, so why is it not out on DvD yet? I can only assume that Paramount pictures is producing the DvD right now and stuffing it with so much behind-the-scenes goodness and alternative endings that it has taken 24 years for the DvD to finally reach our hands. But when it does, I will be SO ready. And so will you if ya knows whak's good for ya's! Rating: - REBELLION! I will go mad if I hear one more critic say that Popeye is a mess, or one more person laugh and look at me strange when I bring up this movie. This movie is a work of art. The songs are works of art. Shelley Duvall's Olive Oil is a work of art. The lines Robin Williams mumbles so you have to watch the movie ten times to hear them are a work of art. The set is, the plot is. Did I say the music is? You're going to tell me that Shelley Duval dancing about oddly on the deck singing he needs me, he needs me, isn't just absolutely perfect!? And that whole Fooey, fooey scene! I'm gonna do one of those twist up my arm punches to the next person that says this movie was a travesty for Williams or show boating by Altman or anything else! AUGHHHHH! thanks for listening.
