Based on the long-running comic strip created by E.C. Segar (and less on the animated cartoons created by Max Fleischer, which were decidedly different in tone and approach), Popeye follows the sailor man with the mighty arms (played by Robin Williams in his first major film role) as he arrives in the seaside community of Sweethaven in search of his long-lost father. Popeye meets and quickly falls for the slender Olive Oyl (Shelley Duvall, in the role she was born to play), but Olive's hand has already been promised to the hulking Bluto (Paul Smith), of whom Olive can say little except, well, he's large. Eventually, Popeye and Olive are brought together by Swee' Pea (Wesley Ivan Hurt), an adorable foundling, and Popeye finally meets his dad, Poopdeck Pappy (Ray Walston). Director Robert Altman in no way tempered his trademark style for this big-budget family opus, crowding the screen with a variety of characters and allowing his cast to overlap as much dialogue as they want.

This film is singular in its reverence for the original cartoon from which it derives its story and characters. Duvall and Williams are the perfect character actors to portray these iconic, slapstick cartoon staples. Their movements and vocal choices are inspired. The songs are downright ridiculous, and they mostly don't rhyme. Duvall seems to be the only actor involved who is interested in hitting any of the notes. This film is mythic, and shouldn't be missed under any circumstances.

A fun movie - one of my favorites! Love the chemistry between Popeye and Olive - Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall did a fantastic job! I wish they sold the soundtrack here on Google play.

Popeye the movie is so boring. The dialog is boring. The fights are boring. The music is boring. Every scene is slow paced. I can't see how any enjoyment can come from watching it. Robin Williams was wasted in this travesty.
