On the plus side this film looks great truth be told, despite the low budget and little faith from Marvel the film does look the business. The swamp looks pretty much like a grotty, smelly, marsh-like festering pit with gnarled trees and lots of creeping vines, I was actually imp... read more

The real star of this film is the swamp set they created which has plenty of eerie atmosphere. Performances aren't bad despite a weak script. The plot is functional enough but is a large departure from the original comic book in several ways - the most disappointing being Man-Thi... read more

And I thought "Ghost Rider" was gonna go down in history as the worst Marvel Comics movie ever made.

Of all the recent out-pouring of Marvel comic characters to make it to the big screen, this is by far my biggest disappointment...and it's a shame too really. This COULD HAVE been a good movie if the makers of the film had actually read a "Man-Thing" comic. An interesting and sym... read more

If you thought that Daredevil, Fantastic 4 or Ghost Rider were bad movies made from Marvel comics you really haven't seen anything yet. I don't know that much about the comic book version of Swamp...er, Man-Thing but from what little I've read online he wasn't the bastard son of... read more

What an incredible waste of film. Awful. Just utterly detestable and worthless. Poorly written, poorly acted and poorly shot. It's just a crappy movie with few, if any charms.

Suprisingly excellent adaptation of a Marvel classic. Check it if your a fan, anyone else might be confused and irritated by it.

Not like the sweet Swamp Thing, this is a horror movie. Monstrous man-thing kills all who have disturbed the swamp and woke it up. One indian has tried to right this wrong and return it to slumber, a little too late.

Better than alot of people give it credit for. Once again, a super-hero has an origin change. Would've liked to see him look closer to his comic book image.
Critic Reviews
Too lame to be genuinely entertaining, not stupid enough throughout to be laughable. Full Review
This is easily the worst comic book movie ever made, and no, I haven't forgotten about the original Punisher adaptation. Full Review
One comics adaptation that comes with a few key panels missing. Full Review
As by-the-numbers as Bingo... A far bigger blow than anything Linda Lovelace could've bought to the table
