Reaction: Solid numbers for this darker, less action packed entry to the DC Comics Universe. And yes, as you may have been able to guess from the end credits scene, John Constantine will be getting his own film in the series which will hopefully lead into a Justice League Dark film.


"Alexander Skarsgard embues both Dr. Alec Holland and Swamp Thing with a strong sense of humanity, which is important since it is difficult to have a mostly silent swamp monster as the main character for most of the film without a skill like that." - Ben Mazur, SciFiNow


"Swamp Thing is very well cast and has some fantastic sequences. It's a welcome introduction to the darker, more magical side of the DC Comics world" - Jeremy Raren, RottenTomatoes.com


"While I appreciated the film's dark, weird tone, the climax of Swamp Thing left a lot to be desired. The film struggled in the character development department as well." - Glenn Magnus, Maxim

Rated PG-13 for disturbing images, strong violence and brief sexuality.
