...howard the duck is my standard-bearer for an unconditionally good movie which gets everything right, but it only rates 14% with critics and 38% with audiences: i'm absolutely convinced that a minority of those ratings are from folks who just didn't get it at the time and the majority are folks who've since dogpiled-on because they believe they're supposed think it's bad...
...it's not-at-all a bad movie; it's solidly entertaining from start to finish, masterfully-produced, and i love it more every time i watch it...
TIL Tori Amos auditioned for the female lead, lol!
I love it. Completely ahead of it's time and in the wrong universe
It's funny, I've read through this whole topic, and agree with every movie everyone has suggested.
But when it comes to Howard Duck I had to draw the line there, it's a horrible movie, but I'm laughing at myself for thinking it's a horrible movie, as all the other movies that most people think were bad I actually liked.
So there's got to be something about that movie that was just not entertaining for watch for me, vs. the others.
