Moviegoers are saying
This Toxic Avenger remake delivers exactly what Troma fans crave - gloriously over-the-top carnage wrapped in 80s nostalgia and self-aware humor. While reviewers consistently praise the kill scenes, cast, and visual effects as '10s across the board,' the middling ratings suggest this superhero satire is more cult curiosity than mainstream masterpiece.

A reasonable reaction to the American healthcare system.

cobAug 29, 2025Ridiculous, campy & hilarious. It’s not Troma and the abundance of cgi was off putting, but it knows what it is and was fun enough to enjoy. See it with a crowd if you can. This was a blast in the theatre.
JosephKAug 29, 2025You know when you’re too high for a movie but in a good way

A fun/stupid watch. This doesn’t have the same charm as the original or quality of pratical effects since most of the blood is obvious CG, but on the bright side you do see Peter’s mutated Dinklage.
Sam🦧Aug 29, 2025They definitely understood the assignment. Perfect campy fun. I would love it if this got a sequel.
BethanyKAug 29, 2025Really jarring to watch a Toxic Avenger movie with actors that aren't giving performances like they're in the worst porn you've ever seen

- Grayson Rosen is "meh" onThe Toxic Avenger
I’ve never seen the original, but I bet it wasn’t filled with annoying self-aware “look how bad this movie is” kind of humor 5/10
zxki is "meh" onThe Toxic AvengerWhat did I just witness? I appreciate what they were going for and see the cult following behind Troma, but I don't think it's for me. A fun yet random cast and a meaningful yet odd story. I wasn't into the humour, gore, or music, but like I said, I somewhat appreciate it. I would have given this a…
DL Cooper lovedThe Toxic AvengerVery very fun, definitely a more approachable Troma offering but with a lot of what classic Troma has to offer. Cool practicals, cool gore, pacing in the first act could’ve been better but it was a good time and I’m glad we caught it in theatres. Love that they cancelled medical debt as part of the…

this movie is HILARIOUS 💀 i was losing my mind laughing, it’s such a good remake/reimagining of toxic avenger that’s a bit smoother around the edges which i appreciated i loved all the wacky characters, gross gore and insane logic, it was so so much fun
Benny dislikedThe Toxic AvengerAt the end of the day, this just wasn’t for me. I found it to be chaotic and uneven, but I can appreciate its campy and violent nature. 3.5

Peter Dinklage's best role

Andrew Fink lovedThe Toxic AvengerThe Toxic Avenger follows a janitor transformed into a mutant vigilante, embracing its roots with gleeful self-awareness. Over-the-top gore meets glib, inside-joke humor, while paying respectful tribute to the OG. A great revival—fans of cult classics should check this. 8/10

Pulled awkwardly in so many directions, this Toxic Avenger all but comes apart at the seams.

This solid roster of acting talent can’t do much about how frankly uninteresting and unfunny The Toxic Avenger is most of the time. As satire or spoof of both superhero movies and scary movies it is abysmally obsolete, and on its own terms as horror-comedy it achieves neither scares nor laughs.

This is an inside joke of a film, but it’s also one that wants you to be in on it.
