Movie Reviews of Popeye
Movie Review: An underrated film
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes. Robert Altman never got to make the big ending that he wanted. But this film still has a sweetness and charm that stays with you. It also does an amazing job of emulating the early Fleischer Brothers Cartoons of the 1930's and translating them into live action. I will always wonder "what might have been" had the studio not pulled the plug on this film (shame on them). But I still really like this movie.
Summary of Popeye
A musical version of the cartoon character, Popeye the Sailor Man.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: PG
Release Date: 8-AUG-2006
Media Type: DVD
Nothing interests filmmaker Robert Altman more than a contained culture that mixes bare humanity with local eccentricity (think of his M*A*S*H and Nashville). So Altman's Popeye (1980), based on the old comic strip, works best as a portrait of a busy, cluttered, cartoonish town called Sweethaven. But it is much less successful as a comprehensible story about the famous sailor with massive forearms and a relationship with Olive Oyl (Shelley Duvall). Robin Williams plays Popeye with his usual brilliance for mimicry, Paul Dooley makes a credible Wimpy, and Paul L. Smith makes an impression as the oversized bully, Bluto. But this strange, disastrous film never becomes more than an expensive workshop airing out Altmanesque themes. --Tom Keogh
