| New YorkerBruce DionesLori Petty does her tough-talking best to breathe some life into the comic-book action, but it's not enough. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullPetty ruins this movie with her bad acting, inability to crack jokes, and the ability to look stupid no matter what she is doing. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrLori Petty does a nice job in the title role of this enjoyable 1995 feature based on the postapocalyptic SF comic book and set in the year 2033; it's basically aimed at teenagers, though it's a lot more feminist than what usually passes for adult fare. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovA glorious, spastic mess. Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin's neo-underground cult comic book Tank Girl comes to life looking, amazingly, exactly like it ought to, positively overflowing with an ever-changing riot of color, gratuitous violence, inter-species shagging, toss-away one-liners, and gobs of little wonky bits that will either knock you upside the funny bone or leave you reeling from out-of-it confusion. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonUltimately, I had a lot more fun at this movie that I did at Batman Forever. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumLori Petty does a nice job in the title role of this enjoyable 1995 feature based on the postapocalyptic SF comic book and set in the year 2033. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliWith a breakneck, don't-bother-to-stop-and-think-about-it pace, Tank Girl zips along for over one-hundred moments, only occasionally lapsing from its zaniness. |
| Sci-Fi Movie PageJames O'EhleyThe film tries very hard to recreate the comic book's wild and wacky flair and in the end it is a total assault on the senses with deafening rock music interspersed clips of psychedelic animation. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaSadly, despite its various attributes and overall funky MTV sensibilities, this never gets quite brutal or blockbusterish enough and the result is a movie both likely to offend the family and infuriate the aficionados in roughly equal amounts. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinSince this is thoroughly tongue in cheek, Tank Girl has a likable brashness, even when breathless, pointless plotting threatens to eclipse the movie's charms. Chief among its strong points is Lori Petty, a buzz-cut fashion plate in a Prozac necklace, who brings the necessary gusto to Tank Girl's flippancy. |
