Movie Reviews of Darkwing Duck, Volume 1
Movie Review: "I am the Terror that Flaps in the Night."
Summary: 5 Stars
The streets of St. Canard are filled with danger. Villains lurk behind every corner. But thanks to Darkwing Duck, criminals of all stripes are arrested every day. By day, he's Drake Mallard, suburban Dad raising his adopted daughter, Gosalyn. But by night, he's the costumed crime fighter who, assisted by his sidekick Launchpad McQuack, taking on such super villains as Bushroot, Megavolt, and Steelbeak in an effort to keep his city safe.
Of course, Darkwing has his weaknesses. He has no real super powers, but does have lots of nifty gadgets that help him fight crime. His real problem is his ego. He loves to make flashy entrances and is shocked each time a villain outsmarts him. Flattery will distract him in a second. And he even narrates his adventures - as they are happening.
There is certainly plenty of danger in these episodes. Darkwing looses his sight and must rely on the help of others to fight crime. An evil alien lands on Earth, and Gosalyn thinks it's a pet. Home appliances start coming to life and terrorizing the city. Someone is knocking over banks, literally. And the evil Quackerjack tries to convince Darkwing that he was born to serve tea, not be a crime fighter.
The series is obviously a spoof on superheroes and owes much of its form to Batman. Still, there are other comic influences here, and I'm sure someone with a better knowledge of that genre could identify them. Between the villains and the occasional alien, there's also a strong science fiction element. I got into the show for the humor. Not only are there the normal cartoon hits, whacks, and smashes, but there are lots of great puns in everything from the titles to the dialog.
This set includes the pilot and the first 25 regular episodes of the show aired. Unfortunately, they aired in a different order from the order completed so all continuity is lost. There are no extras on the set. The picture looks good but not outstanding. The stereo soundtrack is wonderful, however.
This set will appeal to kids for the cartoon antics and adults for the puns. A great show that anyone can enjoy.
