[.ca] Swamp Thing: Return Of The

Swamp Thing rules......:
Swamp Thing rules... even though this is a campy movie The Return of Swamp Thing is fun. If you like superhero, monster movies and camp rolled into one then this is the movie for you. The best part of this movie is the opening credits with that rock and roll song. This is one of the better Superhero movies... 10times better than THE Captain America, Fantastic Four and The Punisher movies that were never release. Right up there with Batman Returns and Superman 4.

Okay, some people are missing the point (yet again):
I've read alot of negative reviews for this one, and none of the people writing these reviews really seem to grasp the concept of a Jim Wynorski film. Jim Wynorski makes b-movies, ONLY b-movies, and he makes them well. If you're unfamiliar with what a b-movie is, you should'n't be writing a review for this particular film, but I'll give you some background. Remember those old fifties drive-in films, you know, the kind they play on Mystery Science Theater 3000? Stereo-typical characters, guys in rubber suits playing cheesy monsters, and that special 80's touch up, huge breasts every couple of minutes...these are all elements of the b-movie. You're SUPPOSED to make fun of it. You're SUPPOSED to actually enjoy yourself watching a movie for once. Return of Swamp Thing is an excellent b-movie, and one of Jim Wynorski's best. It's alot different from the original, but alot better, in my opinion. No disrespect to Wes Craven, but Swamp Thing isn't one of his better films. Not as bad as Scream 2, but it's not quite up to par with his usual films. If you DID enjoy Return of Swamp Thing, I recommend "Not of This Earth" (1986), "Sorority House Massacre II: Nightie Nightmare", and "Hard To Die".

For the most part, RETURN OF SWAMP THING kinda' sucks!:
Im a fan of 80's horror movies. I love make-up special effects, tons of blood and gross camera work. So when I was at my local video store I thought "Return of Swamp Thing" would have been a been a good film for this kind of stuff. Well, it did have cool creature effects and some nasty mutant scene's. But over all it really sucked! The plot was corny, the humor was terrible and the creature's were too far and few in between. When the movie ended I asked myself, "Did I just watch a movie?" because it really didn't feel like I did. I didn't even remember all that much of the movie, except for a few of the mutants. Skip this movie, unless you like make-up effects this one will leave you wondering what happend to the last few hours of your life.

Cult Classic:
One of the classiest cult movies you will ever encounter, one of the best comic adaptations ever made, a million times better than the first one proving the Empire Strikes Back theory that it is possible to make a superior follow up. If you are a cult comic/movie fan do yourself a favour and invest the 20 bucks or whatever it is to own this masterpiece.
