Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cult Classic
Review: One of the classiest cult movies you will ever encounter, one of the best comic adaptations ever made, a million times better than the first one proving the Empire Strikes Back theory that it is possible to make a superior follow up. If you are a cult comic/movie fan do yourself a favour and invest the 20 bucks or whatever it is to own this masterpiece.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Swamp Thing rules......
Review: Swamp Thing rules... even though this is a campy movie The Return of Swamp Thing is fun. If you like superhero, monster movies and camp rolled into one then this is the movie for you. The best part of this movie is the opening credits with that rock and roll song. This is one of the better Superhero movies... 10times better than THE Captain America, Fantastic Four and The Punisher movies that were never release. Right up there with Batman Returns and Superman 4.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Entertaining if Nothing Else
Review: The plot is nothing new and the script nothing special, however, this film still somehow manages to be enjoyable. The movie is neither exactly camp nor serious, which is actually one of its attributes. It doesn't become annoying and silly as do many of the more camp members of the genre; niether does it become ridiculous by trying to take itself too seriously. Instead it is nicely balanced between the two.

Visually the film is helped by good makeup (for the era) creating interesting characters and the acting isn't as bad as you might expect from such a film. Overall, it probably isn't as good as the first movie, but it does still offer something different to its predecessor and will be appreciated by fans of the genre.

Summary: Clyde and Grundell RULE!!!!!!
Review: This movie has it all! The Guy who has "Ten years of training in Ok-i-now-a, the lady switching the vials, but most of all it has Clyde and Grundell. Lets just hope that Clyde's bad breath hasn't killed Grundell and they will give them their own movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Goes for camp but gets lost on the way
Review: This sequel should have stuck with its predecessor's or comic book "roots" (me am funny). The light-hearted, comic romance just doesn't suit the character. Occassionaly, the two kids bring a laugh but that's all you'll get from this two-fisted, monster fest. Skip it and buy the first one.
