Summary: This was a Disappointment
Review: As much as I like Troma films, this movie was seriously disappointing. As a fan of the first two films in the Toxic Avenger series I was expecting a lot more from this third installment. Instead, this movie is a large step backwards from the previous two. The acting is horrible, the fight scenes are awful, and the plot is lacking.
And it features one of the worst endings ever. The "videogame" showdown makes little to no sense. Regardless of whether or not you're a Troma fan I recommend steering clear of this one.

Summary: Total Trash!
Review: Hardly even worth the review but here goes: It isnt Funny, not enough violence,stupid plot. DON'T WATCH. Oh yea this film gets the very rare one star vote because troma didnt even try on this movie. I usually give 2 stars to a film that at least makes an effort.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny, but still very violent
Review: I absolutely love this movie! I admit, it's not as good as the other two movies, but it's still funny in its own right. For example, one of my favorite parts was when Toxie ripped out a guy's small intestine, then jumped rope with the intestine! I like that part a lot! However, even I think there were some parts of the movie that were unnecessary. For example, Toxie, a.k.a the Toxic Avenger, takes the hand of one bad guy and grinds it in the gears of a tape erasing machine until the poor guy's arm is little more than a stubb! And to make matters worse, we could see the guy's arm getting ground up! I tell you, that was a scene that I think the movie could have done without. Other than that, the movie was great! Trust me, if you're into nudity, lots of gruesome deaths, and corny jokes, then this is the movie for you!

Summary: I feel let down.
Review: I bought this movie having high expectations after seeing the first one(best movie ever created by man). I popped it in and was pissing my pants in excitement. Little did I know that what stood before me would be the biggest let down in my 16 year life. The one part that made me smile was in the beginning when Toxie ripped that bad guy's intestines out and wrapped them around his neck. I have very high hopes for Toxic Avenger 4 since they really need to make up for this one.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: If It's A Comedy, Shoudn't It Be Funny?
Review: I laughed a lot to the first TOXIC AVENGER, I laughed a little more to the second TOXIC AVENGER. I may have laughed about twice during the third TOXIC AVENGER. That's right! It's that boring. I assume only a ten year old would like this film. I know I didn't. Again it's nothing like the original, but it's exactly like the second.

What I don't get, is why Apocalypse Inc. is back after Toxie eliminated them. Bringing them back was very unoriginal. They shouldn't even have a crime business in this one, because the first one didn't. The first one was the only one that was a bit realistic.

The only funny part is what Toxie does with a criminal's intestines at the beginning. And the only fight scene worth watching, is the ending. But the ending isn't that great either. That's how bad this film is.
During the film, stars of the movie admit they're in the movie. Not saying that, that is stupid, because there are movies like that. But, the first one didn't mention anything like that, so why should the second?

It just looks as if the directors Michael Herz, and Lloyd Kaufman didn't even try on improving this film. It looks like they were just looking for a few bucks to put in their pocket.

The jokes are old in this one, not that there are many of those in them anyway, but I noticed they stole a joke from the first TOXIC AVENGER hoping people wouldn't notice. For example, the mother being gruesome joke. The actors also can't even make the joke sound funny. The original actor who told that joke made it sound hilarious.

I sure hope CITIZEN TOXIE: THE TOXIC AVENGER PART IV is worth watching when it comes out. I'm hoping that it will be more like the first TOXIC AVENGER.

This film is pretty rare, and the video store I got it at, was the only video store that I've seen it at. So if you feel like this movie is something you need to see, then go ahead and rent it, because that may be your only chance to get it. But don't be a bonehead, and go buy it. Wait to see what you think about it.

I hope my long review was helpful to you!

Summary: Apocalypse Now
Review: Still loaded with slapstick gore, the bad guys keep Toxie busy. He never does quite clean up Tromaville. Toxic Avenger III, The Final Temptation, is just as good its predecessors, with its Japanese voice dubbing and Toxi's torn tu-tu in dirty off-pink.
The plot takes a twist. Yes, I said plot. He's got to save his blind bombshell wife. Can he use the bad guys to do this? Food for thought as intestinal double dutch gives him a moment to think. Too gross? Can't be. You sat through the head crushing scene in the first one, and If you opted for the DVD, you sat through the uncut version of the head crushing scene, and you kept eating the microwave popcorn. You're just jealous because you can't rip someone's intestine's out the way Toxie can. Reach, rein! Pull, raus!!
You've bought the first one and The Toxic Avenger II... three's the charm or at least the third in the series, so have the whole collection. You'll sit there again in awe. "How does he do that ?"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not as bad as people say
Review: Toxic Avenger 3 is my second favorite in the series of three. (soon to be four) The toxic avenger 1 is the best in the series number 2 is the worst because none of the same cast returned and toxies face looked better in the first one and it was boring with toxies woiceover.The third one has some stupid voiceovers but not a lot also some scenes went on way too long.But something they did improve is the gore.In part 2 the gore was replaced with cartoon violence but in part 3 it wasn't cartoony like when he rips out the guys intestine and skip ropes with it.Some other things I like was that it had the same cast even from the first like cirgirface.It even had somethings the first had like toxie wareing the pilon on his head and that joke about mother in laws.All in all toxie 3 was an improvment over part 2 but not better than the first I just hope the fourth ones as good or better than the first.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Worst of the Series, But Still a Lot of Fun
Review: What a great idea... after Toxie cleans up Tromaville and makes it a "nice place to live" where people are happy and dance like idiots in the streets, who's left for Toxie to oppose? Well, how about THE DEVIL!!! For those that don't know the story behind parts II and III, it was originally supposed to be one movie. The ony problem is that after it was completed it turned out to be something like 6 hours long! So the directer decided to chop the film in half and trim it down to two seperate movies. This explains the continuity problems and the fact that Part III seems to have such a weak plot. It's really just the end of one long movie. Personally I would have liked to see it as a 6 hour epic, but that's just me. So anyway, the themes of evil big business conglomerates being represented by satan is taken literally this time around. Now we find out that the Chairman of Apocalypse Inc (whom you'll remember from part II) is actually Old Nick himself (i.e. Satan) trying to pollute the planet and control the people. Of course we all know who wins. With the help of non other than the Good Lord, Toxie mashes satan. I would say to ignore those advising to steer clear of this movie. I found it to be, while not quite as good as I and II, a good, fun little movie.
