Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 2 (130 movies items)

"Pros: Robin Williams as Popeye The world building Shelly Duvall as Olive Oyl Paul L. Smith as Bluto Songs by Harry Nielsen Cons: The citizens of Sweethaven, are not exactly all that welcoming. It’s a place, that you don’t want to visit. It’s a mixed bag movie, fun and energetic at some points, dull and monotonous at others."

Why It’s Rated (615 movies items)

"Rated: PG Why it’s rated: Cartoon violence and Adult language. The 1980 Popeye film is rated PG (Parental Guidance) primarily for cartoonish violence, including brawls between Popeye and Bluto, and some mild swearing. It features eccentric characters and mild thematic elements suitable for general audiences but may require guidance for younger children due to the slapstick combat."

Tier Ranking: The Worst Films of 1980 - 1981 (35 movies items)

"For critics, Altman's take on the iconic cartoon is messy and wildly uneven, but its robust humor and manic charm are hard. My thoughts: Robin Williams delivered a great performance, the songs were not bad, but overall it was too disjointed."

"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★½ NOTES: Provided by the UCLA Film & Television Archive through the Robert Altman Collection; this meant that the full 114-minute cut was screened and a UK audience got to learn some more about Pappy and actually hear Popeye curse - this cut was passed with an A (proto-PG) certificate but scrapped in favour of the 97-minute cut that became Disney’s default version and ended up certified U. Feels just about equal to seeing it back in the day; dirt and vertic"
