Popeye (1980): A Nostalgic Cartoon Come to Life Robert Altman's Popeye isn't going to change anyone's weltanschauung. But good grief, is it delightful. A loving, slightly mad translation of the comic strip to screen, the film is a triumph of pure, unapologetic whimsy. Harry Nilsson's musical numbers are wonderfully bizarre - strange, singable tunes that capture the film's cartoonish spirit.…

Very poor. Safe to say, I didn't enjoy <em>'Popeye'</em> one bit - despite the presence of one Robin Williams. He is pretty alright in the role of Popeye, but I personally didn't like the uneven/whacky nature of the film. I see - and appreciate - what they were going for, it just doesn't come off in my opinion. It's all very pedestrian.…

An under-rated classic. Yep. This is a hot mess. 3 songs dont work... at all. Its slow, as 1980 films were. And the plot is paper thin. But it is glorious. This movie feels like a cartoon! The casting is perfect. Williams did his own stunts in his debut, Duval is a whine-y beauty and hell; you couldnt find a cuter baby for the role of Sweat Pea. The set design is incredible - it took 7 months to build.…
