Leave your thoughts about The Return of Swamp Thing.
| Rolling StonePeter TraversGo Ahead And Scoff. But This cheap-jack sequel to the 1982 cult favorite about a hunky scientist (Dick Durock) turned talking plant delivers more tacky hit-and-miss hilarity than a Cineplex-ful of teen-sex comedies. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyThe movie is based on characters that originally appeared in DC Comics, and means to be funnier than it ever is. It almost achieves its comic goal in one scene in which Swamp Thing and Heather Locklear, as Mr. Jourdan's innocent stepdaughter, attempt to consummate a love that cannot be. The film is otherwise composed entirely of special effects that alternate with whimsy. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Ray ConlogueThe Return of Swamp Thing is scientific hokum without the fun. Second attempt to film the DC Comics character will disappoint all but the youngest critters. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonOafish, innocent, and almost adorable in its ineptitude. |
| CinapseEd TravisThe Return Of Swamp Thing is a humorous and oddly sweet action adventure that wants nothing more than to entertain you with its quirkiness from start to finish |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonThe world can only hope The Swamp Thing's abode is now bulldozered and turned into a shopping mall. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesThis sequel, coming as it did after Alan Moore's critically acclaimed, award-winning run on the comic, looked really sad. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.An endurance test even the most forgiving audiences won't find pleasure in. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Jacob KnightYes, it's a story as corny and clichéd as they come, but that's part of the picture's charm. |
| User ReviewVille TSo over the top terrible that its awesome! |
