Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
S.R. Hunt I was born in 1998, so I never watched Darkwing on TV. However, I recently started watching it and, holy cow, is it awesome! And this is coming from a 17 year old girl! I freaking adore Darkwing's self centered personality. I think we all dream about being praised as a hero at some point, but Darkwing is addicted to that feeling, and I freaking love it! I also adore the rest of the characters, I love Gosalyn's smart ass remarks, Bushroot is a sympathetic villain, and everyone is just awesome! Well except Commit Guy...I really don't like him...but he's only in two episodes (as far as I know) so it's all good. My favorite episode is probably "Darkly Dawns the Duck", it has the right amount of action-packed and heart-felt moments. If you love Disney, or Batman, seriously check this show out!
reddragonhero17 Ah Darkwing Duck, a truly unique superhero among other things. Disney really did their homework to prepare this bumbler of a hero. The Shadow, Spider-man, James Bond and especially Batman thrown into the blender makes this one-of-a-kind masterpiece of an after school program special. I was into ducks before thanks to the equally good Ducktales and getting into detective stuff where there's both action and thinking involved as well. I like how the hero lets his ego control him (with hilarious results) and the engaging slapstick action with memorable one-liners, particularly the immortal, "Let's get Dangerous!" (Never gets old). Now as an adult I'm catching all the stuff I missed as a kid such as all the superhero and superspy references to several celebrity and movie references (including an On the Waterfront reference). I'm glad that Jim Cummings (the man who plays Darkwing Duck) won an Annie for his role. This cartoon now ranks as one of my all-time favorites.
dee.reid "Darkwing Duck" was one of the great animated treasures of my childhood. I was only about six-years-old when this show began its original run on ABC, which was also during the same time that a wealth of animated cartoon shows were popping up featuring anthropomorphic animals as its lead characters. "Darkwing Duck" was one of the best to come out during this time. With its hip, New Jack-inspired opening theme song, the show is about its titular character, Darkwing Duck, a Batman-like, non-super-powered superhero who fights crime in St. Canard (surely this show's animated version of Batman's Gotham City). He's capable of getting the job done, surely enough, but he's very egocentric and desperate for fame and attention from the city's citizens and police officials. In his civilian identity, he is Drake Mallard, a typical, unassuming suburbanite who tries to be a good father to his adopted daughter Gosalyn, who learns of his superhero alter-ego pretty early within the series. Drake's best friend Launchpad McQuack is also his sidekick and pilot. "Darkwing Duck" is a fun show. Being a fan of comic book superheroes including Batman (who this show seems to delight in routinely parodying), I've always gotten immense enjoyment from watching it. One of the best things that can be said about "Darkwing Duck" is that it has a great, recurring cast of super-villains, including Megavolt (who can control electricity), Quackerjack (an insane former toymaker), Bushroot (a half-duck/half-plant mad scientist), Negaduck (an evil version of Darkwing Duck himself from an alternate dimension), and my personal favorite The Liquidator (whose entire body is made out of water). Each one is powerful enough to give Darkwing a significant challenge whenever they come to blows, but nonetheless Our Hero always triumphs in the end - this IS a kid's show, after all. "Darkwing Duck" was unfairly taken off the air a lot earlier than it should have been. This was during a boom time when there were all sorts of animated superhero cartoon shows on the air, like "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" and "Batman: The Animated Series." Thank goodness the advent of DVD has allowed this show a new after-life for a newer generation of TV-goers and old-school fans - like me - who grew up watching this show.10/10
vappy I loved Darkwing Duck when I was 5 years old and I still love it now! It's interesting how most cartoons from childhood seem lame when I watch them now but Darkwing Duck remains funny and entertaining. The witty dialog, action, diverse characters, and style made this show unique from most Disney cartoons. If they ever remade the series I would most definitely watch it!One thing I find interesting about this series --there is a large amount of violence including knives, heavy artillery, and explosives. Some of the villains are high-class sociopaths (Negaduck) and there is subtle adult humor. As a child, these depictions of violence never had an affect on me and as an adult I find the cartoon to be more interesting due to the use of classic weapons. The family life of Darkwing Duck is also quite interesting. Unlike most cartoons where the hero either has no children or a family of his own, Darkwing has a spunky, adopted daughter and a sidekick for his family, as well as a former criminal sorceress for a girlfriend. I found this family dynamic to be refreshing and interesting. Being raised by a single parent myself, I felt like the show was acknowledging children like me who don't come from "whole" families with a mother, father, and 2.5 children. Overall I think Darkwing Duck was one of the most original and interesting cartoons to emerge from the early 90's and when contrasted with today's cartoons it has a very different approach that makes it unique. I await the release of the next seasons on DVD.
