I've always been curious about this film thanks to the poster and mythos. Helps that I had a girl-crush on Heather Locklear later on thanks to Melrose Place.
So, since I'm doing this 100-movie marathon to "prove" 1989 was the best year in cinema, I added this to the list. And I ask again: THIS Made it to Theatres? (Ah-hem, it made $192,816 - I rest my case.)
But, I didn't hate it and did understand it...and yet, it still wasn't great. Did like seeing Locklear and the title creature a ton. But, probably the best part: those two kids.
Throughout the film, there are two besties who banter back and forth and try and get a picture of the Swamp Thing. They're actually pretty good and funny and kept this movie moving along for me.
Disclaimer: I haven't seen the original, so I really have nothing to compare this to. Would I recommend this? Eh. If you're a DC-Comic enthusiast as this belongs to the brand. Otherwise, enter the swamp at your own slapstick risk.
