There's good stuff around the edges of the film -- all that word play and all those visual gags demand that you pay attention lest you miss something even in the slow scenes. But at the center, no magic. [01 Aug 1986, p.D1]
The first half concerns our hero's satirical misadventures on earth, except that director Huyck has the comic finesse of Hulk Hogan. The second half is an overproduced orgy of car crashes and monsters, in which Howard must save the world from the Dark Overlords of the universe. George Lucas was the executive producer. The Force was not with him. [25 Aug 1986, p.63]

The best Marvel movie ever made! Very advanced for it's time pushing the bounds of human duck relations. Great film, must watch. It's going to be hard for Marvel to ever improve on this formula. They sure don't make them like this anymore.

I enjoyed this movie when it first hit theaters as a kid and still find it entertaining to this day. It has more in common with the Howard the Duck magazines than the comicbook and while there's a few changes to it, I still think it's great. The soundtrack is good too.

Howard the Duck. The most feathered Marvel hero. A funny and at some points instructive film from the distant 80s. Sometimes even monsters are better than humans, which is what this film teaches.

Howard The Duck is an entertaining at first half then became a boring dumb bad movie, with a dumb story and a dumb horrible performances by all the cast.
