Reaction: While Swamp Thing doesn't bring in the kind of money that Batman or Wonder Woman does, we are still quite happy with the results as this one manages to close out Season 27 on a high note.

“First of all, the Production Design of this film is off the chains, even better than the first. Jordan Vogt-Roberts once again delivers a visual spectacle. I feel as though this film could have used a little more Swamp Thing, now that doesn’t mean I don’t like what we got because I do, but I just think it was missing a little. I did enjoy Swamp Thing 2 as a whole, and if you liked the first you will definitely like this one." - J. Darrell Ellington, Behind the Camera

"Swamp Thing 2 successfully advances its protagonist through compelling personal struggles, establishing Swamp Thing further, which is a pleasing improvement from the previous installment (which I didn't care for). Though the acting is mediocre and the villain serves as a mere plot device, the impressive body horror, character growth, and stunning CGI/action scenes make it all worth the ticket price." - Avery Wendell, IGN 

"The Swamp Thing franchise is a difficult one to judge because of the nature of its hero. I found it hard to connect with Alec Holland/Swamp Thing, leaving the heavy-lifting to Keira Knightley's Abby Arcane and Matt Jones' Matt Cable. Neither of those two characters are really able to carry this kind of a story, leaving the film on uneasy ground at times. I didn't hate the film as it is absolutely a visual treat, I just couldn't connect with the characters or plot so much." - Stephen Bonds, San Francisco Chronicle

Rated PG-13 for violence, language, thematic elements and frightening imagery
