It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

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

The Mighty Navy (1941)*** (out of 4)Popeye joins the Navy and is questioned by his leading officer who doesn't think he's a real sailor. Soon a battle breaks out and Popeye shows them whose the real man.THE MIGHTY NAVY is another entry in the series that has some fun with the idea of a military. WWII was in full bloom so some good humor and action was certainly wanted by the public and who better than POpeye to deliver it? There's a lot of fun action on display here and this is certainly the highlight. Once Popeye goes into the full action mode the film really takes off as he battles several ships and planes. These scenes certainly make this worth watching for fans of the series.

This is the first of the wartime-themed Popeye cartoons, even though some of these weren't done when the U.S. was involved with World War II. That came at the end of this (1941) year.Speaking of that, I did laugh when actual war starts in this cartoon. Popeye looks through a porthole and sees a flag on a firing ship which reads, "Enemy (name your own)." Anyway, Popeye is on board a big Navy destroyer out in the ocean. How he got there, and why, is never explained. Popeye says doesn't know himself! All we know, as viewers, is that he has to show the captain he knows what he's doing. Of course, Popeye isn't used to all this fancy equipment and wartime stuff like cannons and airplanes.However, when action starts, the cartoon gets very good and Popeye is just amazing.....with his spinach or without! The ending also was very cool. It wasn't funny but it was good and quite a tribute to Popeye's heroics.

This is the first Popeye to show him in navy whites as Popeye enlists in the navy and discovers that there are four ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, my way and the Navy way, with the Navy way being the way the Navy wants things done, naturally. Popeye has trouble with this at first, but gradually comes to loathe it in time! Great fun and well worth watching. Recommended.
