    The critic's review was typical of most critics. They seem rate all movies "against" other catergories of movies. If you don't like a "type" of movie, then don't "rate" them. This movie is fun, and the effects are not bad for 1987. The acting was "spot on" for the characters. Is it a serious thought provoking work, no. It's exactly what it should be, a lighter, fun "fanasty" based on the cartoon. If you like this "type" of movie, then is a good one.

    This is very cheesy stuff upon first (or first in a while) viewing. However, after watching it with commentary you get the impression that it was taken seriously by all involved. The budget was too low for this genre so it shows in the production. It was not for a lack of trying. Langella and Foster did their best to class it up. It was the first feature for Cox and McNeill. Some mechanical props are fantastic and cannot be duplicated with computer animation. Kids under 10 will enjoy unconditionally. This movie meets all the requirements for a remake. Though some might say it'll come too close to 2011's Thor.

    Yes   |   No
