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-

You don’t need to have seen Troma’s cult classic The Toxic Avenger to appreciate the inhumanity that director Macon Blair unsubtly orchestrates with his excessively out-of-bounds remake — but it helps.

If anything, this Toxie is even easier to root for, even more charming and sad amongst the silliness.

The dedication Dinklage brings a certain legitimacy to The Toxic Avenger which automatically makes it seem even more ridiculous.

Bounding Into Comics

This cast seems to be having a blast in their roles, and its entertaining assault of absurd vulgarity and buckets of ooey, gooey, and chunky amounts of blood is hysterical ecstasy. The Toxic Avenger is undoubtedly ridiculous and laugh-out-loud funny.

Rated: 3.75/5

Jeff Nelson

Guy at the Movies

The Toxic Avenger is a remake that foolishly tries to reimagine Toxie’s story by grounding the story’s ridiculousness in an underbaked father-son story, while concocting lesser versions of scenes from the original.

Rated: 2/5
