Critic Reviews

Jay Carr

Lori Petty gives her enough scrappiness on screen to make her a lot of fun to watch. When Tank Girl isn't playing like "Road Warrior" meets "La Femme Nikita," it plays like "The Crow" meets "The Brady Bunch," and it's the ultimate spring-break movie. [31 March 1995, p.57]

Marc Savlov

A glorious, spastic mess. Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin's neo-underground cult comic book Tank Girl comes to life looking, amazingly, exactly like it ought to, positively overflowing with an ever-changing riot of color, gratuitous violence, inter-species shagging, toss-away one-liners, and gobs of little wonky bits that will either knock you upside the funny bone or leave you reeling from out-of-it confusion.

Steven Rea

As a bratty, punked-up sci-fi romp crammed with pop- cult references (everything from Baywatch to Batman, Stiff Records to The Wizard of Oz), Tank Girl has energy to burn. [31 March 1995, p.3]

Steve Persall

Every decade needs a nonsensical sci-fi space oddity - a Barbarella or Buckaroo Banzai - to keep the underground element amused. Tank Girl should keep the Internet clicking for a while, with its imposing strangeness and violent pop-apocalyptic action. [1 Apr 1995, p.2B]

David Goodman

The plot is incoherent and jumpy and the dialogue weak. Scriptwriter Tedi Sarafian makes the same mistake his brother Doran made in his movie "Gunmen." It's all effects and nonstop action, as if that can cover for one-dimensional characters. [30 March 1995]

Owen Gleiberman

Petty, though, is the only reason to see this coy and scrappy comic-book adventure-a trash bin of sci-fi detritus. Read full review

Nathan Rabin

Sure Tank Girl has a lot of energy but then so does a Pixie Stix-addled eleven-year-old screaming in your ear about the intricacies of Pokemon for hours at a time during a cross-country road trip. That doesn't mean either ordeal should be experienced by any reasonable human except perhaps as a form of torture. Read full review

I actually quite enjoyed this. Has a pretty impressive cast. Lori Petty as tank girl had to played some role in the inspiration for the Tiny Tina character from the Borderlands video game series. Naomi Watts is effortless to watch as always. Ice-T makes a good kangaroo human hybrid. EveryoneI actually quite enjoyed this. Has a pretty impressive cast.

Ice-T makes a good kangaroo human hybrid. Everyone did great. I didn't mind the cartoon insert sections, they added a bit a flavor and fit the overall style the film was shooting for. Overall pretty fun.… Expand

Je ne connais pas la Bd mais cette adaptation pue de la gueule ! et sent fortement le navet pas frais avec bien peu de moyens… et de scénario ! tout y est bas de gamme, mal écrit et particulièrement bas du front.

Il paraît que la Bd est un peu brute de décoffrage et pas particulièrement très « correcte » mais tout ce qui sort de l’ordinaire ici, c’est quelques gros mots venant de l’héroïne. Cette dernière, si elle s’avère délurée et assez mal élevée n’est en fait qu’une Harley Quinn au rabais. Avec la palme de la coiffure la plus pourrave, bien entendu.

Le monde vaguement « post-apo » décrit ici fait surtout pitié ; le film rame comme un crevard et n’est certainement pas drôle, y compris au douzième degré. On s’étonnera néanmoins d’y trouver une certaine Naomi Watts et un certain Malcom McDowell ! Certes, la blonde est sexy mais on s’en fout totalement, comme du reste de ce navet périmé, d’ailleurs !… Expand
