Skip it tonight unless you're a die-hard Popeye completist or have kids who specifically want cartoon sailor man content. The mixed-to-middling scores (60% RT, 5.4 IMDb) suggest this is a forgettable adaptation that doesn't quite nail either the action or the comedy—there are way better options in your queue.

Plot

Popeye is a super-strong, spinach-scarfing sailor man who's searching for his father. During a storm that wrecks his ship, Popeye washes ashore and winds up rooming at the Oyl household, where he meets Olive. Before he can win her heart, he must first contend with Olive's fiancé, Bluto.
