I remember seeing this for the first time on TV in a Swamp Thing marathon back when I was a kid around 1990 or 1991. I liked the live-action TV series too and remember sitting and drawing the character. What a terrific film adaptation of a comic book hero! This one is a direct sequel to the first film (the Wes Craven-directed one). There's a very good balance of action, some horror elements, and noticeable a good amount of humor, especially with the two kids and Abby (played by the lovely Heather Locklear). The "knock-knock" part got me cracking. The soundtrack is synonymous as I remember it. Somewhere near the end as Swamp Thing steps in, you see his eyes gleaming through the shadow as he moves; very nice little detail there. The practical effects give it much believable visuals, and I really admire the costume design for Swamp Thing starting from this one and onto the TV series; a definite improvement over the first film. I've always liked Swamp Thing. He's a good man, defeating the bad guy and saving the girl. Now I feel like piping through the TV series if I can find it.

The stench coming off _The Return of Swamp Thing_ is truly rank. When Abby Arcane visits her step-father in an attempt to reconcile, he takes her prisoner and uses her to heal himself; meanwhile Swamp Thing battles Arcane’s failed experiments that are running amuck in the swamp. Louis Jourdan returns and is joined by Heather Locklear, who’s “acting” is godawful (winning a well-earned Razzie). Equally bad though are the creature effects, which are laughable; though that could be the point given that the tragic tone of the first film has been abandoned and it’s now going for camp. A trainwreck from start to finish, _The Return of Swamp Thing_ is a cheap B-movie with no aspirations.

A silly and ridiculous little movie, that's forgiven some of its poor qualities for how firmly it had its tongue in its cheek. For a kids film though, it can be pretty fun at times. A serious take on this character for once would be welcome though...
