Title: A movie not afraid to wear its camp on its sleeve
Review: It seems that the same people who don't like Swamp Thing are the same people who thought the Adam West Batman TV show was "silly." That is, in fact the point of this terrific rubber-fest of a B-movie. Swamp Thing engages in the rapidly disappearing art of Camp - a movie that delivers inanity with such a poker face, it is hard to determine whether what you are watching is intentionally "silly" or not. And, ST succeeds admirably. This movie plays like a well-read comic book and the action is non-stop. Stand-out performance is Adrienne Barbeau's sidekick, a young boy with swamp smarts who helps her (along with the Swamp Thing, of course) out of her predicament. Swamp Thing is the most fun you can have watching a guy in a rubber suit.
