Popeye (1980)'s activity

I was a huge fan of Shelly Duvall in The Shining, so I wanted to see her in other roles, this movie having come out in the same year. I also saw an article saying that the town that was built for the film is still there. The movie itself is a slog to sit through. Turning a 1940s cartoon into a 2 hour live action film where you have to be invested in the plot and dialogue is asking a lot. Most of the characters are borderline retarded and the musical numbers they occassionally bust into are painful to sit through. Robin Williams is decently convincing as Popeye but I couldnt figure out the blonde hair. The only thing the movie has going for it is the set design which is incredible and reminded me a lot of Waterworld. There are a handful of funny moments but overall I couldnt wait for it to end. C-
