It remains one of Wes Craven's most entertaining and least pretentious outings.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 31, 2023

Swamp Thing contains some of the most banal lines heard in years and its non-existent characterization renders any intended pathos pathetic.

| Jul 28, 2022

It's a commando-style action adventure. But its idea of excitement a to be Adrienne Barbeau continually shouting for help while the Swamp Thing slowly turns 90 degrees to catch her direction.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 11, 2021

A failed twist on the creature from the Black Lagoon, merged with horror-fantasy elements and a touch of exploitation, like one of Roger Corman's low-budget peplum forays.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Mar 24, 2021

All things considered, Swamp Thing should never have crawled out from under its rock.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 21, 2020

Contains enough explosions, action and adventure to keep you interested throughout.

Swamp Thing never really comes together and by the time the title character is fighting a particularly goofy looking monster in the finale, it's hard to take any of it seriously.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Jul 10, 2018

Sure, it's kind of hokey and a bit campy and has some narrative bumbling and pacing issues, but overall it is a genuinely fun diversion-a contemporary man-in-a-rubber-suit creature feature that also happens to boast a decent amount of heart.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 17, 2017

'Swamp Thing' may be more of a rubber monster creature feature than a truly accurate comic book adaptation, but it's a treat for fans of the movie and the graphic novels.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 7, 2013

Swamp Thing has many dubious qualities, but it clearly isn't a piece of product tested and polished to a blinding gleam, and the world is duller for not letting oddball efforts like this slip into theaters once in a while.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 6, 2013

The film is too lazy to provide any actual jokes with its send-up of the genre.

| Jul 9, 2012

masterfully entertaining film on a limited budget

| Original Score: B | Jan 8, 2012

Has a novelty value absent from the equally broken comic book adaptations of 20 years later.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 22, 2011

...a disappointingly thin endeavor that seems to have been designed to appeal solely to young boys...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 12, 2011

A muddled genre confused mess of a film...

| Feb 9, 2011

About as much fun as being lost in a swamp.

| Original Score: C | Nov 4, 2009

It's awfully likeable and definitely has a so-bad-it's-good quality.

Oh yes, Adrienne Barbeau. Thanks for the memories.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 29, 2007

The whole thing is merely silly and not much fun.
