...but you already know that. However, it was entertaining to revisit the film and the extras are interesting!

Howard the duck is a cult classic film. It's an hilarious 80's take on a duck from an alternate universe like Earth

Howard the Duck's 1080p transfer offers a nice step forward from the old DVD. Universal's presentation enjoys a light, even grain structure that accentuates the film's cinematic characteristics. Grain only spikes on the rare occasion. Details are rock-solid, for the most part. While human faces are curiously flat and processed, general film detail impresses. Howard's fur, clutter around Beverly's apartment or back alleys, and even texturing on cheaper set pieces and props (particularly during the final confrontation) are nicely revealing and sharp. Color balance is good. Beverly's red jacket and umbrella are highlights, particularly against some of the darker early film backdrops, but brighter daytime exteriors and a well-lit diner, for instance, help ensure a neutral and pleasing palette. Black levels are satisfyingly deep. Flesh tones sometimes struggle, favoring a red-tinted push. Minor wear and tear is evident, but is never intrusive. Compression anomalies are not particularly problematic. Fans should be very pleased with what is an imperfect presentation, but that certainly represents the best the movie has ever looked for home viewing, and by a wide margin.

Marvel's First Movie - An Underrated Classic

"In the beginning there was.. Howard The Duck!"
While DC had some success with Superman and Batman and Marvel had some fun small screen successes... Marvel's first character to leap from comic pages to the silver screen was the relatively obscure Howard The Duck created by Steve Gerber for "Adventure into Fear #19". Produced by Star Wars creator George Lucas the film is certainly a strange one. But then so was the comic book that the movie was based on.
The Blu-ray looks magnificent and features some great extras that offers a fairly detailed exploration of the film's production from the cast and crew. If you haven't seen it... give it a chance. And if you own it on DVD already like I do... I would absolutely recommend the upgrade if you're a fan of the film or the character.
Honestly I think the movie gets a lot more hate that it deserves. Is it a perfect film? No. But honestly it's best to ignore the critics and give the film a fair shake. It's a fun little Cult Classic worth a look. Especially with the amusing cameo by Howard the Duck at the end of the recent Marvel blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy.

The Greatest movie bomb of all time!

Howard the duck has gotten a very bad rep over the years for it being considered one of the worst movies ever made and one of the biggest hollywood bombs of all time. I remember seeing this movie a lot as a kid and loved it! as an adult, i still love it and realized its not that bad of a movie. sure its not great but ive seen worst and theres been worst. story of a duck from another planet whos world is similar to us, gets accidently transported to earth and lands in cleveland ohio where he meets the beautiful rock singer Beverly (played by Back to the Future's Lea Thompson) who is struggling to make it big, helps him find his way back home with the help of a bumbling scientist (played by Shawshank Redemption's Tim Robbins). on their journey, they discover due to the accident in the lab that brought howard to earth, something else besides howard came to earth as well and it is an evil creature set on bringing back more to destroy the world. its up to howard and phil to rescue beverly and save the world. yeah it sounds hokey and cheesy but turn off your brain for two hours and youll be pleasantly surprised.

The first ever Marvel character to get a feature and George Lucas is the executive producer! What could possibly go wrong?
Well…about that…
Seriously, though, you either love this movie for what it is or you don’t. This movie has always had a special place in my heart, and I’m happy to finally have it in my movie collection. The good news is that this version of the movie looks and sounds as good as you would expect from a 4K release. Other than that, it’s still the same goofy movie that released in 1986, for better or for worse.
