Thrown eggs seems to be the only appropriate response to this absurd concoction of duck soup.

Under the aegis of George Lucas, director Willard Huyck and producer Gloria Katz, who collaborated on the script, abandon the very things that made Howard a hero in the first place.

Beyond the visual effects, the explosives, the high-tech special effects -- beyond that, nothing. For a movie like this to work, it must be more than what appears on the screen.

Boring, and sad. We've come to expect more from Mr. Box Office than such a fowl offering.
