I have never seen the original Swamp Thing, and thanks to the love I have for this movie, I am not bothered by the fact at all. I used to rent this movie on VHS as a kid constantly. I didn't even know that he was a DC character until I was much older. The great thing is, if you haven't seen the first film, you are not missing anything whatsoever. The Return of Swamp thing is "B movie" fun, while also being well-paced and doesn't take itself too seriously. It has a young Heather Locklear, pretty solid practical effects and a good deal of action. Go into it with an open mind, an open heart and just the right amount of edibles.
I'm sure you're going to read some reviews about this show that will be negative and probably a little rude. I get it. If you're a fan of the original trilogy, you may think you're too old to watch this or that is will be lame, but I beg to differ. Yes, it's not the Mighty Ducks of old, but it's fun, heartwarming and just makes you feel good. Life is too short to hate everything. This show has some decent laughs, not-so-terrible acting and moves the story along at a reasonable pace. If you want a lighthearted show to watch to counterbalance all of the negative crap in the world, this show will do the trick.
Look, this isn't a Kubrick film, but it was fun enough and was only like 93 minutes. Great cast, decent humour and a dash of the feels. Might become my go to turkey day film to watch after Planes, Trains and Automobiles is finished. There are a lot of attractive people in this film, which is always a plus. The food didn't look real, but when does food in a movie actually look real? Don't listen to the other lame nerds who wrote negative things about this movie. They obviously take life and film watching way too seriously. So, put together a plate of leftovers, turn this movie on and enjoy a few chuckles. What's the worst that can happen?
