A horrible toxic accident transforms downtrodden janitor, Winston Gooze into a new evolution of hero: THE TOXIC AVENGER!

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.

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-

Richard Whittaker

Austin Chronicle

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

Variety

This is largely a fans-only proposition, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

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

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

Dread Central

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