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

I admit it. I love this movie. Robin IS Popeye. Shelly IS Olive Oyl, even more so. The tunes are cute. The sets are outlandish and fabulous. It is humorous, a fantastic trip, and an entertaining movie. Whether you like it or not, it DID help springboard Robin into bigger things. We started to see him as a real talent and not as a comedian only. I take my hat off to the whole cast and production company.

If you like Popeye, then you'll probably like the movie. There was too much singing. Robin Williams was awesome as Popeye, he had the voice down perfectly! Shelly Duvall as Olive Oyl was a good choice too! Some of the residents of Sweethaven were either stupid or dopey. Whimpy and Bluto were pretty good too. Bluto gets pissed when he sees Olive and Popeye together with a baby. (Sweet Pea.) Later, Bluto uses Sweet Pea to find a treasure. There is a huge, scary octopus that tries to get them. I like ...

Great music, fantasict cast and a story for all ages...
Staring Robin Williams in his first feature film, "Popeye" brings the sailor back to his roots. Taking place in the fictional town of Sweethaven, Popeye sets out to find is long lost Pappy (Ray Walston). Along the way he meets Olive, (a very convincing performance given by Shelley Duvall),her family, adopts little Swee'Pee and makes an enemy out of Captain Bluto (Paul L. Smith).
Many critics panned this movie...but ... Read More
