    I like this film. I smile from beginning to end. It looks brilliant and it evokes the cartoon faithfully. It's a kids film that makes an adult happy. I don't know if Popeye can sweet talk today's kids, as I don't know if the cartoon is still on telly.

    It's clear that this movie has an affection for Popeye, and so much regard for the sailor man that it even bothers to reveal the real truth about his opinion of spinach.

    Miss Duvall is superb - genteely ladylike one minute, a woman of volcanic passions the next.

    It is more than faint praise to say that Popeye is far, far better than it might have been, considering the treacherous challenge it presented. But avoiding disaster is not necessarily the same as success.
