Swamp Thing 1982

Owen Hughes’s review:
The rubber costumes are the tip of the iceberg on what is a really quite naff film. I like the classic Alan Moore comics, I like the new Scott Snyder comics, I like Wes Craven, I wanted to like this, I didn't like it.
It has an interesting story to it, but it's not actiony enough or, crucially, fun enough. There's no sharp one-liners, which I thought it would be packed with. Swamp Thing takes ages to appear on screen too.
The main positive for it is ... erm... I'll get back to you on it.
The main positive for it is surely a topless Adrienne Barbeau...Hhhmmm! Topless...
