Ah, Troma. Troma excels in turning out some of the most horribly made suckfests ever to go straight to video. The Toxic Avenger is the crown jewel in their crown of crap. I don't know why this movie has so many positive reviews, my only guess is that only people that like the movie would feel moved to write something about it. Since I hate this movie over all others I've ever seen, I was moved to drop a little hate and a different viewpoint into the user comments.
The production values, plot, acting, soundtrack, all suck the chrome of a trailer hitch. The movie budget couldn't have been more than 40 bucks. The gore and violence are far beyond anything I've seen elsewhere. I love violence and certainly don't mind blood but this movie actually offended me and this is from a person who looks forward to mayhem and bloodshed in all it's forms. I would love to tell you about my true thoughts on this film but the IMDB forbids profanity so I must remain silent on that.
Bottom Line: The Toxic Avenger is horrible. The worst movie you would ever be cursed to see. If you enjoy bad production, over the top gore and violence, and truly amateur acting, this movie is for you. If you demand quality, forget about Troma films entirely.
