The Toxic Avenger - Reviews

...is funny and charming, with a joke rate as consistent as this year’s The Naked Gun, and snappy editing that mimics the Edgar Wright brand of genre parody.

This toxic trash fest shouldn’t be slept on; watch it with your friends or your parents, it’s fun for all the family.

…a damned fun time at the movies with enough nods and references to please even the most diehard of Troma purists.

If “The Toxic Avenger” is anything like its predecessors, it’s thanks to Blair and his collaborators’ apparent love of anarchic gags that take great pleasure in their patent too-muchness.

...it makes a canny argument for future installments: The quality of this reboot, its dutiful nods, and its end-credits sequel tease all clear a path for Toxie to explore stranger, grodier frontiers.

...while it’s had a contemporary update in its core themes and special effects, it still retains the gory, spoofy silliness that made the original a cult hit.

A blood-soaked love letter addressed not just to a genre, but to the craft of filmmaking as a whole, “The Toxic Avenger” is more sentimental than one might expect from a movie with roughly a dozen appendage losses.

En säregen stil och spännande mix av genres som bitvis är alldeles briljant, men som helhet är lika ojämnt som en berg- och dalbanatur.

...de som gillade originalfilmen lär inte bli besvikna på den här utflippade splatterfesten om en förgiftad hämnare och hans dödliga golvmopp.

...ett vackert kärleksbrev till filmkonstens sunkigaste era.

...ger oss höga halter av både våld och humor – något som gång på gång fick hela publiken att skratta.
