Summary: Popeye
Review: AT LAST ON DVD.
I WILL BE BRIEF:This is for me the greatest Movie of all time. Do not be affected by Gone-With-The Wind ivory tower critics.
Do not even be affected by Robin Williams' own shyness:
IF YOU GOT HERE, it means you want some Popeye.
If I-AM right, then this is the best you could hope for. I would like to write hundreds of pages praising this movie.
I will suffice by saying that I am 57, my children range between 13 and 25: We have each seen this movie about 20 to 30 times and keep enjoying it more, each time we view it. DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY IT.

Summary: Months of checking have finally paid off!
Review: ... This is one of those movies that you have to appreciate for it's simplicity and sometimes almost cheesy scenarios. I can't imagine anyone playing these characters other than the people cast. Robin Williams performance as Popeye is reminiscent of the really old B&W Popeye cartoons where half of the time he's mumbling which adds to the comedy. Even the costumes in this movie are semi-cartoonish which cleverly adds to the cartoon-to-live-action transition while reminding us that the silliness is part of the reason we loved the cartoons and characters as much as we did, and still do.
Bravo to Paramount for finally releasing this on DVD for the people like me who have been searching for this classic since I bought my DVD player. I've been checking on a weekly to monthly basis for a long time now, and am estatic to see my searching has paid off.
If you haven't seen this fantastic movie before, or haven't seen it in years, take the time to rent it one more time so you can see what you'd be gaining by ordering or pre-ordering this today!!

Summary: A Wonderful Movie!
Review: This has been a favorite of mine since my Mom took me 11 times to see it in the theater back in the early 80's. I got a used copy on video in the 90's and have worn it out. I'm so glad it FINALLY coming to DVD. The casting is terrific. The music is very catchy and moving (I can't keep the tears from welling up during Robin Williams song about Sweetpea). I can't wait to share this movie with my own children. Do yourself a favor...whether you are a fan of Robin Williams or Shelly Duvall, or just really love the popeye franchise...get this movie!

Summary: Great Casting, Fun Film!
Review: Zack Davisson did a fine job of revueing this film. I just wanted to be a second wittness to what he wrote. I love this film and watch it several times a year. Although my DVD collection exceeds 1,000 I still own just over 350 Laserdiscs. My Popeye Laserdisc is 'pan & scan' and I can tell that there are places that would significantly improve with a letterbox copy of this film. I'm glad to see that my new (already pre-ordered) DVD copy will be letterboxed. I am a Robin Williams fan, but still, he honestly made Popeye come to life. I love his mumbling. I heard that they had to edit out some of that improve mumbling he was doing. I think the Shelly was outstanding as Olive. Great Casting! Great Make-Up! It was the first time I ever saw a resemblance between Ray Walston and Robin Williams. When I first saw this movie over 2 decades ago, I came home talking about how cute the baby was who was cast as Sweetpea. I think the entire village was built from scratch and also looks charming. I love this movie and recomend it to any fans of Popeye, Robin Williams (or Shelly Duval). You won't be dissapointed!

Summary: Praying for a DVD of this Classic.
Review: I personally think that this is a classic and Robin Williams best portrayal, by far. The casting is excellent. I don't believe that anyone could do a finer job. At least no-one has,
so far.

Summary: I am what I yam
Review: A favorite of mine since I first saw it, this is one of those movies I watch at least once a year. Perfectly capturing the spirit of EC Segar's Thimble Theater, it is one of the greatest comic-to-film adaptations and a swell musical on top of that. Segar's weird little world is almost fully represented, with the Oyl family, Popeye, Bluto (not Brutus), Wimpy and the Roughhouse Gang. Even Geezil is hiding in the background, if you look for him. The only thing missing is The Seahag and her Goons. The film has an incredible pedigree. Directed by Robert Altman (Gosford Park) with music by Harry Nielsen. Robin Williams is perfect as Popeye, and it is hard to picture anyone other than Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyl. Ray Walston is an equally perfect Poopdeck Pappy. Nice to see this underated film finally make the leap to DVD!

Summary: please make a Popeye DVD!
Review: i must agree with many of my fellow reviewers, and say that this is a wonderful movie sadly overlooked by many people. i'm another one who was brought up watching this film, and the Popeye lingo and music have wormed their ways into my family's way of speaking (it is not at all unusual for one of us to burst out with "I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today"!)....
