The Toxic Avenger-bedømmelser og anmeldelser
- Phattony29. september 2025The fact the Peter Dinklage, Elijah Wood, and Kevin Bacon said fuck it, lets do the Toxic Avenger in 2025 is enough for you to watch this hilariously funny, gore filled movie. Loved it.
- Hipster ZOMBIE5. september 2025Remember when superhero movies didn’t need billion-dollar budgets, pristine CGI, or three-hour runtimes to make their point? When “gritty realism” meant buckets of stage blood and a rubber monster suit melting under studio lights? Welcome back to Tromaville, baby—because The Toxic Avenger (2025) is here to mop up the genre and smear radioactive slime all over the cape-and-cowl crowd. Born from the vhs era of b-movies found in mom and pop video stores, Troma blasted onto the scene with films that were low on money but high on blood guts and boobs. If you grew up renting tapes that were always sticky for reasons you’d rather not ask, this film feels like that. The cardboard sleeve, the torn “Be Kind Rewind” sticker, the warped tracking lines—it’s that same energy bottled up, but blasted on a 2025 cinema screen. And here’s where the movie shocks you: under all the slime, gore, and absurdity, it actually cares. The story of a hapless nobody turned deformed anti-hero has moments that almost play like real drama. A father-son arc actually hits. Themes of corruption, pollution, and corporate greed somehow land harder than you’d expect from a film where a guy’s face gets deep-fried in radioactive sludge. The magic trick is balance. Just when you think the movie’s leaning too far into sincerity, someone’s intestines gets ripped out. It’s a tonal tightrope act, wobbling between parody and pathos, and somehow never falling completely on its face. Peter Dinklage brings a gravitas to a role that we didn’t know could have it. He goes places with the character we never thought we’d see from Toxie. Some things I still wish I didn’t see… The Toxic Avenger (2025) isn’t for the squeamish, the easily offended, or anyone who thinks superhero cinema should be “elevated.” But for the rest of us? It’s a blast of absurd, grotesque joy that knows exactly what it is—a trash-fire cult classic in the making. Would Lloyd Kaufman be proud? Hell yes. Would Blockbuster have hidden this behind the counter? Absolutely.It’s not high art, I wouldn’t even say it’s great. But it is fun in its own weird way.
- Alan9. februar 2026It’s ok but come on this should be a mega hit but no blind jokes no offensive stuff it’s neutered but it’s Toxie and I like midgets
- Chris Maguire3. oktober 2025We need more movies like this otherwise I willl literally end my bloodline
- Spoons22. august 2025The Toxic Avenger rules: unruly gore, mutant heart, and a mop swinging at corrupt suits. Big, loud, joyous. If you liked… Deadpool & Wolverine, classic Troma chaos.
- Scott beard24. januar 2026The Toxic Avenger is the glow-up nobody asked for but damn if it doesn’t slap harder than Toxie’s mop on a corrupt executive’s skull. Peter Dinklage steps into the slime as Winston Gooze, the put-upon janitor who gets dunked in toxic hell and rises as our favorite grotesque do-gooder, except this time with actual acting chops, razor-sharp timing, and a physique that makes the original’s foam-rubber suit look like amateur hour. Macon Blair directs this like he snorted pure Troma spirit but then remembered he could afford real lights and a cast that includes Kevin Bacon as the sleaziest villain since Kevin Bacon usually, Elijah Wood doing his wide-eyed chaos thing, and Taylour Paige bringing heart to the chaos. The gore? Oh honey, it’s upgraded, practical effects so juicy and inventive you’ll cheer when a head gets creatively pulverized, then immediately feel bad about cheering because it’s that kind of movie. One scene involving a treadmill and bad life choices had me cackling like a hyena on bath salts. It keeps the spirit: environmental satire, underdog heroism, blind girlfriend romance (sweet without getting sappy), and buckets of bodily fluids. But it polishes the rough edges just enough, better pacing, actual emotional beats, and jokes that land instead of just splatting. Still gloriously nasty, still proudly lowbrow in the best way, but now with a budget that lets the absurdity breathe instead of choke on its own low-fi charm. Not for the faint-hearted or anyone who thinks superhero movies should be “serious.” If you’re here for a punk-rock, sludge-drenched middle finger to corporate greed wrapped in cartoon violence and genuine weird heart, this is your jam. Peter crushes it (literally), the practical gore is chef’s kiss disgusting, and it somehow makes you root for a green mutant janitor who talks like a Shakespearean trash panda. Eight-and-a-half toxic barrels out of ten. Watch the unrated cut if you can, because why settle for less slime when the full vat is available? Embrace the goo, darlings. It’s filthier, funnier, and weirdly more lovable than you deserve. 💚☢️
- alberth4424. januar 2026Great movie !
- CHIEF2. januar 2026Except for one (1!) scene with some pride kids dancing to ``my neck, my back, lick it`` and Peter Dinklage pissing on himself (!), this is a big waste of time. What has become of Elijah Wood, to participate in this drivel?
- Ashok Lal Jhally18. januar 2026As of the 18th of January, this is the best movie I have seen this year! It completely took me by surprise as I believed that it would be along the same line as the original movie but it ended up being weird, stylish and absolutely hilarious. Peter Dinklage absolutely nailed it and I will highly recommend this movie to anyone who is planning a fun and light-hearted movie night
- kieran.charette3. januar 2026I thought it was fine, I'm not the biggest troma fan anymore so it's not for me.
- Hakihiko2. januar 2026Raw Energy, Rough Edges "The Toxic Avenger" is a gritty, over-the-top take on a cult classic that delivers plenty of chaotic fun - but never quite moves beyond its own excesses. It's loud, punchy, and unafraid to lean into its absurdity, yet it ultimately feels rough around the edges in a way that keeps it from truly clicking. The film's biggest strength lies in its unabashed energy. From the moment it kicks off, it dives headfirst into outrageous set pieces, bizarre character choices, and a tone that's proudly unpolished. If you're in the mood for something that doesn't take itself seriously and wears its oddball identity on its sleeve, there's plenty here to enjoy. Performances fit this wild aesthetic: committed, exaggerated, and often entertaining. Some cast members fully embrace the madness, bringing a liveliness to their roles that keeps even the more chaotic scenes engaging. However, not all of the characters land, and the uneven execution sometimes makes it hard to care about what's happening beyond the spectacle. Where "The Toxic Avenger" stumbles most is in coherence and depth. The script meanders, rarely finding a strong narrative rhythm, and the humor can feel more messy than clever. The pacing zigzags between frenetic and flat, and without a clearer emotional or thematic anchor, the film's chaos occasionally tips into exhaustion rather than excitement. In the end, "The Toxic Avenger" is an entertaining experiment rather than a polished success. There are flashes of genuinely fun moments and a bold stylistic voice, but they're entangled with uneven storytelling and a lack of focus. Worth a watch for fans of wild, unfiltered cinema, but not quite a hit by broader standards.
- Allen Brink27. december 2025Cool movie nice remake But you can tell butt hurt left wingers wrote this trying to self insert themselves as heroes despite poilitical terrorism being exclusively left wing these days. The miss meat hostage scene was a classic example of this. Right wing characters doing left wing terrorism.
- neuroparadox9. oktober 2025This was a treat, like a B+ movie. 👍 Been a Toxie and Troma fan since the 80s, and I think this reboot is a lot of fun and does the OG film. Unrated just means it's got something for the whole family!
- cultfilmliker29. august 2025Topical themes. Schlocky splatter. Riotous laughter. What more could you ask for from a B-movie? Enjoyed the array of dumb villains. Lovely cast. I adore Taylour Paige and didn’t recognize Jacob Tremblay lmao
- Paul Kalkhof18. november 2025Really great remake that keeps the depravity and the satirical edge that made me fall in love with Troma. While not as extreme as the later films, the tone and overall gleeful gore makes this a fun watch.
