MCT:August 22, 2008What intrigues me about this film is the fact that there would have been some nice twists and ideas in this movie but were ultimately taken out. I wonder why. Some deleted scenes on the DVD of MAN-THING are actually better than the ones that made it into the film.

Suprisingly excellent adaptation of a Marvel classic. Check it if your a fan, anyone else might be confused and irritated by it.

It seemed interesting at first, the idea and the atmosphere was rather puzzling... till we saw the monster!

Far from perfect, for sure but this movie has for itself certain elements that show it is not the dud we can think.
The all-green atmosphere is rather well-done, there's some good ideas in terms of realization, the main actor is pretty charismatic in comparison with traditionnal actors in these kind of movies, and the choice to install some kind of Texas Chainsaw Massacre atmosphere was a good one (uh the brothers Thibedeaux ! ).
Nevertheless this movie is sadly doomed by a lack of money, the monster sucks and the "action scenes" if we can call them like that are ruining everything.
What a shame when this monster is supposed to be the Main interest of the movie... -
MCT:November 24, 2007I honestly did not think I could ever see a movie that was as bad as this one even if I spent ever hour of the day for the next 50 years watching films.
The ironic thing is on the front of the DVD case it touts "From the makers of SPIDERMAN, DAREDEVIL, X-MEN and BLADE." Cos wheni see words like that is tend to think it means that the film will be at least half decent with all the suppossed great talent behind it.
It even goes as far as to state "Atmospheric. Visually stunning horror Movie" Well either that is a horrific printing mistake at the Dvd cover makers or someone was taking the piss out of not just the movie but us dumbasses for Renting/buying/watching/shredding it.
It had the potential to possible achieve that 2 1/2 star rating, had it not fallen into the trap of poor everything. Poor Characters, Poor Story developement and execution. Poor mythology. Poor bad guys (human form). Poor Hero. AND EXTREMELY POOR MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The story is that a new sheriff arrives at a small southern town after the last sheriff disappears. Other locals have too, and most been found dead and mutilated, cast as alligator attacks from the local swamp. However the reality is that oil barons digging up the swamp have disturbed the ancient malevolent native Indian monster hellbent on revenge. its seeking blood of the locals and kills by sticking tree branches through people.
Like I said Its just plain ludicrous. The monster "Man thing" It like a cross between the huge live trees from The Lord of the Rings and the Incredible hulk with a shocking case of pink eye.
Ps. The half a star is because I feel incredibly generous and not because it really deserves it. -
MCT:October 1, 2007a shame, it really is a good topic and character, something way better could have been done. looks cheap and like one of those afternoon movies that made it straight to the tv and never saw the inside of a movie theatre.

No pasa de ser otra película en la que el mounstro mata a todos los que se le metan enfrente, las actuaciones son malas con algunas excepciones, pero pocas.
Lo mejor es como lograron las escenas en los pantanos. 5/10 -

Not like the sweet Swamp Thing, this is a horror movie. Monstrous man-thing kills all who have disturbed the swamp and woke it up. One indian has tried to right this wrong and return it to slumber, a little too late.
-
MCT:July 18, 2007Of all the recent out-pouring of Marvel comic characters to make it to the big screen, this is by far my biggest disappointment...and it's a shame too really. This COULD HAVE been a good movie if the makers of the film had actually read a "Man-Thing" comic. An interesting, sympathetic, and cool character in now nothing more than another "B"-movie monster that kills indescriminately. Shame on you Marvel :(

MCT:July 14, 2007
I watched this because I know one of the actors (Matt Le Nevez who plays the Sheriff), but I'm not into this sort of thing. Let's just say it wasn't great. I would say keep an ear out for the bad accents but you can't miss it.
-
MCT:June 25, 2007
NO! NO! NO! This is not Man-Thing as i remember from reading all those Marvel comics. In those he only killed people who had reason to fear him because they had done something wrong.
In this shoddily put together movie they have made him into a bad 'b' movie horror monster who kills indiscriminatly.
Shame on you Stan Lee, Avi Ariad and Marvel for condonening this tripe, could have been brilliant, Shame! -
MCT:May 9, 2007Better than alot of people give it credit for. Once again, a super-hero has an origin change. Would've liked to see him look closer to his comic book image.
-
MCT:May 4, 2007
DAMN! I can't believe this is a Marvel comic.. so DARN BAD! OMFG!!! I just watched it.. it was so boooooooring! This movie really made it to the top-list of the WORST MOVIES I've ever watched!!! =O

Australians attempting to act like Southerners hmm, at least the story was good even if it strayed away from the comic

I'm really not sure about this one...the story wasn't horrible and the action wasn't pathetic, but this didn't feel like Man-Thing to me. DC's Swamp Thing was a much better film because you knew it was true to the comic version~not like this one!

MCT:March 8, 2007
You can definately tell that this is a made for tv movie. I didn't even see Man-Thing until the movie was almost over. I understand it being an origin story but it really wasn't in terms of the origin. Man-Thing (the character) was pretty cool. He didn't look to corny. If your a fan you have to see it. I think DC won this one though with Swamp Thing.

Just finished it. Not bad, but not too good. Too little of interest actually happens, and most of it is derivative of other, better movies. The acting is alright, and the cinematography is excellent. Some jolts, some decent gore and at least one really creepy sequence near the end make up for the generally boring script. I know absolutely nothing about the comics on which this is based, but I would venture to say that this is not particularly accurate to the source material. That having been said, I thought Man-Thing, as a creature, came off very well in this movie. It was a very imposing figure, and the effects were pretty good. I really really enjoyed every time it appeared on screen, which was regrettably rare. Still, as movie monsters go, Man-Thing is one of the better recent ones. Too bad then that his movie should be so mediocre.

OH MY GOD RUN!!!!! IT'S......IT'S.....IT'S A TREE!!!!!
You get the point. one or two jumpy bits and a weed like plot. Piss poor. The only person who should be scared of this movie is David Bellamy. -

I'm not sure what made anyone decide to make a movie out of the one comic book that sounds like a gay porno, but there you go. We got a Man-Thing movie. And I rented it. Cuz I'm geeky like that. The opening scene has a couple of teenagers about to "go all the way" in the backseat of a car and they get killed. The girl gets as far as to take off her top. It's the best thing about the movie. Unless you are a RIDICULOUS comic book geek, don't bother. It's as stinky as you would expect from a movie titled Man-Thing. Marvel should be ashamed to let this happen.

MCT:September 1, 2006
Without a doubt the worst comic book based movie to date! Bad acting (i.e. the world's worst/fake southern accent), weak writing, pointless nudity, and weak character development. This was suppose to be scarry, but the only thing really scary about it was how bad it sucked. 1/2 a star is almost too generous!
