Howard the Duck Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Dave Kehr
In the absence of anything resembling structure, character, point of view or sense of purpose, there is no place else for this empty project to go.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Reservations aside, it's hard to fault the tongue-in-bill high spirits of a movie like Howard the Duck.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
What can you say about a comedy in which the biggest laugh is in the end credits?
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Michael H. Price
A flawed triumph of the interpretive -- as opposed to the creative -- film-making art, Howard the Duck comes tantalizingly close to capturing the acerbic brilliance of its character's early comic-book adventures of a decade ago.
Detroit Free Press
Catherine Rambeau
Jones's performance makes the picture worth seeing. The duck ain't bad, either.
New York Daily News
Kathleen Carroll
Is audience abuse a federal crime? If not, why not?
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
The plot might have provided a pleasant little fable if done with cartoon characters. But with live actors and a star duck that is not terribly convincing, the film just doesn't make it.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Scott Cain
Howard the Duck has everything that money can buy except fun.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Harper Barnes
The real question about Howard the Duck is who its audience is supposed to be.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Howard the Duck isn't a duck. It's a turkey, and not a golden turkey either. It's one of the worst movies ever made, but without the energy of the kind of bad movies that are fun to watch.
Washington Post
Paul Attanasio
As you watch "Howard the Duck," you get the vivid sensation that you're watching not a movie, but a pile of money being poured down the drain.
DVDTalk.com
Jason Bailey
The first big-screen adaptation of a Marvel comic book makes their subsequent films seem like the flowers that bloom beneath a heavy load of dense fertilizer.
Los Angeles Times
Sheila Benson
For all those who cottoned to the charm of the comic books, the duck stops here.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
The movie is too scuzzy to beguile children, too infantile to appeal to adults.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
Who was this stupid film made for?
Slate
Keith Phipps
As bad as you've heard. Actually, it's worse.
Chicago Reader
Pat Graham
The duck doesn't fly, but did anyone ever really think it would?
Variety
Jane Galbraith
Daffy Duck will be pleased to hear he didn't miss any career opportunities when he wasn't chosen to star in Howard the Duck, although producers certainly could have benefited from his talents.
Zap2it.com
Daniel Fienberg
Actually suprisingly underrated for its... Oh, who am I kidding? A goofy disaster of a movie.
