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.

Los Angeles Times

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.

Jarrod Jones

AV Club

The quality of this reboot, its dutiful nods, and its end-credits sequel tease all clear a path for Toxie to explore stranger, grodier frontiers.

Rated: B

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Common Sense Media

This wildly surprising gem of a reboot—witty, goofy, and unexpectedly touching—is far better that it had any right to be. It's probably the best of the entire franchise.

Rated: 4/5

Blunt Magazine

Filmmaker Macon Blair gets it. He know the secret formula has to include heart. It has to cleave to some kind of ethos in among all the gratuitous gore, obviously fake severed limbs, and shameless nudity.

I really like the look of Toxie. It balances disgusting and…I dunno, adorable in a way that’s crucial to keeping me on board with the nonsense being presented.

Rated: 7/10

Slow to start and a little too serious at times, but overall pretty fun.

Great movie if you love comedy that makes fun of itself and is obnoxious. Worth the watch for me.

This movie is a must see for any Troma or Toxic Avenger fan. I cannot express how much I enjoy this movie from start to finish. The movie made me laugh constantly, and the design of toxie grew on me immensely. The look of the film and the soundtrack really are perfect.
