  • Classic TV coming down the stream

    As the rash of giant sunglasses, vintage jackets, and shaggy hair indicates, retro is so hip it's almost uncool. But as long as it stays cool, people will try to make a buck off it--and that's a good thing for… more

    "Poor"
    I saw some episodes of this show on tape and I can describe it in one word: HORRIBLE. Firstly, who would make a show about a swamp monster that fights SUTPID looking mutants and lousy goons. Secondly, the show sucked, lousy special effects, losuy acting.
    In short, everything was lousy about this show. If I hadn't seen this show then I may have had some respect for Swamp Thing, but know I hate it more then I the smell of burnt popcorn.
    It was a f...ing show.moreless

    This show is very unique and special, and it is hard to digest thanks to its uniqueness. The thing I like the most about this show is that feeling of claustrophobia you get when you see all the stories in this show being presented in those dark swamps where all you can see is vegetation for miles and miles and in which many treasures lie just underneath all that green. One thing I don't like is the way Swamp Thing talks, he has a very slow paced way to talk that makes me wanna set him on fire. A nice show to watch if you are a fan.moreless

    An early 90's superhero show (well kinda, Swamp Thing really isn't your typical superhero) that epitomizes the sci-fi trend of the time. Not a terrible show, but with grade B effects, there are clearly much better ones out there. I will say this, the costume for Swamp Thing is very good for the show's time. It must have taken hours to put on all the make-up. Yet, the rest of the show's effects seem to be thrown together. The acting is generally sub par and the storylines just don't have that standard "make you want to be the hero" quality found in superhero shows. The other bad part about this show is that the scenery for each episode was roughly the same, as Swamp Thing rarely left the surroundings of the swamp. This plays for a dull sensation after watching numerous episodes. All in all, this was not a terrible show by any means, but it is far from great.

    My final review: The mix between superhero and sci-fi produces an interesting show but not a great show. If you like sci-fi, check this out. If you like superhero shows than there are much better ones out there to watch.moreless
