Crocodile 2

With the limited impact the first "Crocodile" movie had and its limitations in terms of enjoyment and entertainment, then it was somewhat of a gamble to sit down and watch "Crocodile 2: Death Swamp".

Still, I have done so. And I must admit, that while "Crocodile 2: Death Swamp" by no means is a masterpiece, then it definitely turned out to be slightly more enjoyable than the first movie. Why? Well, because they upped their game significantly on the special effects department, and for the most parts throughout the entire movie, the crocodile was realistic and actually turned out quite well in favor of the movie.

As for the storyline in "Crocodile 2: Death Swamp", well... Let's just say it is subpar to the storyline in the first movie. The storyline, plot and script in this sequel was more generic and predictable, to the point where the storyline itself was an abomination.

The characters in the movie were even worse than in the first movie, especially the bad guys. Seriously? They were just laughable and seemed like something taken out of a very bad comic book.

The acting in the movie was adequate, taking into consideration that the actors and actresses had next to nothing to work with in terms of a proper script, storyline and plot.

What sets "Crocodile 2: Death Swamp" aside from the first "Crocodile" movie was the special effects which really lifted the movie up to a higher level and made it all the more enjoyable to sit through. Sure, this is the type of movie where you just dislodge your brain, sit back and enjoy the ride.

The movie is what you'd expect, no disappointment there. But it was very hard to listen to. The audio Quality was horrible. you were always hearing it in kind of an echo.

This movie begins with 4 men robbing a bank and killing several policemen as they make their escape. As part of their plan they then board a flight to Acapulco where they hope to live a life of luxury. Unfortunately, when they are told by the pilot that the flight has to turn back to the United States because of a terrible storm they decide to take over the airplane and continue on the original course. One thing leads to another and soon the airplane crashes in a swamp about 50 miles from their intended destination. One of the crooks dies in the process along with most of the other passengers. However, the few people who survive now have to contend with a giant crocodile who seeks vengeance upon everybody in the group for killing one of its offspring. Now, as far as this movie is concerned I thought that this was a dynamite film up until about the last 15 minutes or so when it was almost ruined by one extremely absurd scene copied right out of "Jaws 2". If not for that--and the excessive use of profanity--I would have rated this film higher. So, for what it's worth, even though it is better than the original I feel compelled to give it just average marks.

Why do we watch movies??? To be entertained. This is a bad movie but I had a blast watching it. A movie can have bad acting,effects,story and more but if it keeps my attention, it works!!! If you aren't looking for the next Academy Award winner and just like to be entertained, this movie will do the job. If you are someone who's just into art and good acting, stay away!!! This is for beer drinking movie night!!!!

This was pretty bad. The crocodile isn't even seen until near the end. It was not even seen enough after that. It is slightly worse than the first film due to a lack of nudity and a tone that was too serious. The effects are generally alright but in places good and other places bad. Basically a slow and pretty silly b-movie horror. Only for tatty horror fans.
