Howard the Duck (1986)

Rate: 3
Viewed: 3/10

3/10: Howard the Duck was a massive box-office failure back in the 80's, and everybody made fun of it.

Watching the movie again, I can see why. Occasionally, there are funny moments, but the rest is a mess. It isn't terrible, but I've lost interest after Jeffrey Jones went bat crazy. No question, the grossest scene is when Lea Thompson was about to commit an act of bestiality with the duck. What a nauseous moment.

I read the back cover of the DVD case that Howard the Duck is "one of the most talked-about movies of all time." Really? I hadn't heard a peep since it came out twenty-four years ago.

All in all, what a disaster Howard the Duck is.
