Critics Consensus

Like the original, The Toxic Avenger isn't for everyone -- but viewers seeking an extremely gory, extremely silly good time won't be disappointed.

4/5

This enthusiastic revival of the 1984 original ups the tech values and adds a recognizable cast without sacrificing the original’s ick factor... No learning, no hugs, just schlock and awe.

Ultimately, this is a fan-made effort for fans, though we're sure it will be appreciated in different ways by fans. [Full review in Spanish]

Whether poking at superhero cliches (there’s a choice post-credit scene) or trying to be kill-clever, it’s all in dopey, gruesome fun.

4.5/5

Less ‘so-bad-it’s-good’ and more ‘so self-assuredly vile, campy and hilarious’, The Toxic Avenger soars with satire, tumbles with blood and guts, cartwheels with crass and sticks the landing with barely a falter.

Macon Blair has done something that many never get to do, and that’s make a true genre film that doesn’t skimp on the qualities that endear people to the original while using the budget to make everything 10x bigger.

2.5/4

The Toxic Avenger, a revised and expanded version of an 80s Z-movie, combines a good cast, splatter aesthetics, and adjustments in line with the political sensibilities of the present times. [Full review in Spanish]
