Katie Rife indieWire Here, “agreeably stupid” is the order of the day... It’s a deliberate choice on the filmmaker’s part -- one that will alienate much of the film’s potential audience, but will appeal to those already primed to snicker their way through it. Rated: B- Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle If anything, this Toxie is even easier to root for, even more charming and sad amongst the silliness. Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Michael Nordine Variety This is largely a fans-only proposition, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Sep 22, 2023 Full Review James Preston Poole Discussing Film Completely discarding an expectation for a more sanitized take on the character, Blair’s new vision for The Toxic Avenger is an unhinged off-color extravaganza just about guaranteed to divide audiences. Rated: 4/5 Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Rocco T. Thompson Daily Dead An energetic and entertaining reboot that nonetheless struggles to prove the independent, lead-with-bad-taste worlds of Lloyd Kaufman and mainstream studio moviemaking are compatible. Rated: 3/5 Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Drew Tinnin Dread Central The dedication Dinklage brings a certain legitimacy to The Toxic Avenger which automatically makes it seem even more ridiculous.
