Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Everything is still in place -- the blood, the guts, the gallows humor -- but nothing quite works. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 28, 2023 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Oct 11, 2005 Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion Rated: 1/5 Apr 1, 2005 Full Review Luke Y. Thompson New Times The first Toxie was dumb fun, but it should never have been made a "franchise." Rated: 2/5 Jun 11, 2003 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com Lacks the energy of its predecessor, but there's enough campy cheeze to entertain the schlock fans. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 21, 2002 Full Review Mark Palermo The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) Rated: 2/5 Sep 3, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

John C 'The Toxic Avenger Part II' is a gloriously wild ride, packed with deliberately over-the-top gore, inventive practical effects and a wicked sense of humor. It’s the kind of film that thrives on its excess making sure it never displays any hint of good taste to deliver an outrageous experience. As long as you’re not easily offended and are in the mood for something ridiculous, you’re in for a great time. The film’s biggest strength lies in its over-the-top set pieces and sharp, absurd dialogue, which make for some genuinely hilarious moments. However, at a bloated two-hour runtime, it’s hard to ignore how some scenes overstay their welcome. A leaner edit would have enhanced the pacing, ensuring the best parts shone even brighter. Despite this drawback, 'The Toxic Avenger Part II' remains a cult classic for a reason. If you’re into the unapologetically outrageous gross-out horror fests, this sequel delivers exactly what you’d hope for. Although I can't see our mutated hero ever fitting in with Thor and Captain America's 'Avengers' line-up! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Daniel C. M Gonna be completly honest, enjoyed this one much more than 4. Cheap and dumb fun, genuinely funny at times. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review chris h Why are these even made Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/05/23 Full Review Josh G Stack your boiled eggs and strap in for a complete bonkers experience in part of the toxic avenger. there bad guys, dancing in the streets, blood and wind surfing. this is a wild one, so nuts no words can describe this film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/06/23 Full Review Petros T I didn't mind the fact that compared to the original this is even more blatantly ridiculous and I've got to admit that the practical effects are really well done for the most part and that a handful of the jokes are actually kinda alright. But other than that, "The Toxic Avenger Part II" is a nightmare to sit through. Every moment is overstuffed with obnoxious sound effects and dubs, overbearing overacting and unsophisticated, try-hard jokes, and the results are unbearably and painfully hideous. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/07/23 Full Review Chris M I am impressed with the effects they were able to pull off with such a tiny budget. Troma movies are never perfect and frankly the newer stuff is way worse. But this one is not perfect either. It has some character issues and gets a tad offensive with the blind jokes. But the story works, a lot of comedy lands. Because when a joke lands, you laugh hard. Overall far from perfect but still pretty damn good.
