It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
CITIZEN TOXIE is the last, to date, of the TOXIC AVENGER series and the fourth film in the franchise. It may have the biggest budget of the lot, but it's also the most poorly-made, an endless array of inane comedy and lame jokes and a film which outstays its welcome very quickly. The atmosphere is still the same but the jokes seem more tired than ever and the slapdash gore effects and offensive humour just doesn't have the same impact as before. You do get cameos from folk like Ron Jeremy and Corey Feldman but the old Troma magic just doesn't feel the same anymore.
This is miles away from the original Toxic Avenger (1984). This is really absurd and over the top full with gore and nudity as gratuitous as it can be, even full frontal. Even the face of Toxie looks different. Looks great isn't it, well, sadly it isn't.By doing things rather over the top and even dull it isn't an entry for every fan of Toxie. This is really and literally full of feces and p*ss and even fake cum. And it's done by disabled people who are made fun of, it's done by adult penetrating girls and boys and Toxie. Even blow jobs are given by fat guys to normal guys and by nude girls to doctors, yes this is really absurd.But clocking in over the usual 90 minutes it do becomes boring at times. It's worth seeing for some gory moments and I mean gore but it also did me pick up the remote to push the fast forward or even the eject button.Gore 3/5 Nudity 2/5 Effects 2/5 Story 0/5 Comedy 0/5
Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger Part IV returns to the basics and gore that made the first a classic even though The Toxic Avenger Part II and Part III was pretty good. Toxie's heroic voice returns and they're seems to be more gore in this one than the first film, it was great to see Troma's other hero Sgt Kabukiman N.Y.P.D in this film. The other superhero's was a laugh like the Masterbater and Dolphin Man.The alternate universe for Tromaville and the alternate characters was something interesting such as we see the Evil Kabukiman and Noxie, even Sarah and Lard Ass's alternate characters. Watch out for Marvel Superhero creator Stan Lee has the narrator. The Toxic Avenger Part IV is worth a watch.
IMDb reviews are full of hyperbole, and no one likes reviews claiming that a decent film is the best movie ever. However, that won't stop me from saying Citizen Toxie is the richest, most entertaining action comedy I have EVER seen. Every element (except, of course, the quality of the images and special effects, which is acceptable given the $500,000 budget) of the production is beautifully polished, and every second of the film has more raw "fun" than a person can take in during a single viewing.That said, many people just won't get it. I consider myself a fan of crude humor, but even I can't watch the first 20 minutes of the film, which feature retarded children getting shot, without feeling uncomfortable. And if you've never seen a Troma movie before, you'll probably get so hung up on the poor quality of the DVD transfer and makeup/special effects that you won't be able to watch the movie itself.For everyone else, this movie is fantastic. It has a clever and engrossing plot and a creative cast of charming characters, and is so completely packed with action, subtle (really!) and not-so-subtle humor, and pure fun that even after four viewings, I get completely sucked in to the story and laugh all the way through. It's easily Troma's best film, and (this sounds blasphemous) the original "Toxic Avenger" doesn't even compare. I can't wait to see what comes next.PS-I showed select, pg-13 segments of this film to my aging parents see what normal people think of it, and they loved it too.
