Million Dollar Crocodile

This is the kind of movie that I would usually give a 1/10, but I get the feeling it doesn't deserve that. Yes, it's incredibly stupid, but it doesn't always take itself that seriously, though the key word is always. The issue with that is it isn't funny when it tries to be, but is when it doesn't, so it's at least slightly entertaining. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone actually looking for something good to watch. Honestly, I find it funnier that I own the thing than the movie is funny. So if you do decide to watch it, get some friends and prepare to laugh.

Crockzilla was a bit of a surprise. Even though the English dubbing and storyline are a little weak, this is a fun film that actually employs some cinematic skill.

The cgi and live croc shots and scenery et al are actually pretty good. The scenes which depict the giant croc eating things are very well done, with believable cgi animation apparently done by someone with some talent. Some scenes you have to really look to tell if you're seeing cgi or live animals. So kudos there!

Other than the cheesy acting by the few actors in this film, such as the cross eyed tea garden worker (who oddly is the only person in the entire tea garden who is seen working in the field) and the incompetent sushi squad, this film should rate more than just a couple stars.

Compared to other awful "B" flicks like "Sharknado," this film deserves an academy award!

I once worked with a Florida native who held me in awe with her stories relating watching gators walk the streets in the quiet, Summer mornings of her hometown. Since then, much to my husband's dismay, I have wanted to experience seeing these mighty animals in nature for myself! Well, I think there is one particular moment in this movie that may have finally fixed that idea! :)

I very much enjoyed this film! The gator was magnificent, and the actors/characters were interesting. The dubbing could have been much better admittedly, but what ended up killing the movie for my husband, and led me to only give the film a 6, is the ending.

I don't want to give it away, and it is definitely still a journey worth watching. I commend the movie for managing to make a statement about how cruel humans are to animals, but there is so much MORE they could have done with the ending. Even with leaving one of the characters as is, there is so much MORE that could have been done, or said, concerning another. We don't even have a final answer for that particular character, and whereas they may have done that on purpose, leaving his fate up to the viewers' imagination, I would have still appreciated some further answer on it! The final scenes were lackluster at best, although I again do appreciate the statement they made about "human" kind.

This was a good and fun film overall.

It has plenty of humor mixed in with it throughout the film.

Not particularly gory or bloody, not even a lot of kills, but it kept suspense most of the time none-the-less.

Barbie Hsu, and the other two leads, Guo and Ding are fun and interesting since they're not actors you're familiar with.

Having a child as a central part of a monster / creature feature like this isn't new, but a bit rarer overall and that seemed to help the movie.

The CGI were good overall, but at times you were well aware that's what they were, kind of just by the nature of what they had the creature do for a film like this.

There are a few cliches, and it's apparent early on Hsu will become a love interest, but it is still fun anyway.

There is a bit of a teaser there could be a sequel to this movie as the credits roll but as of yet nothing seems to have been developed that way.

The ending does keep you guessing a bit is this going to be a Disney nicer ending or more of a demise type of ending for the creature? The only thing is how that develops seems a bit cliche, but that's how they wrote it.

Nice to have a flashback to the classic Nintendo game Duck Hunt in the movie also as a bit of a plot point.

Okay, so this movie is pure, unadulterated cheese. If your looking for something that will give you nightmares, or even be serious, try something else...War of the Worlds maybe.

In my experience, most Asian films when trying to portray a serious story go two ways, either heart-wrenching drama that makes me contemplate suicide...or a boring, matter of fact, mind dump of every small detail. Thankfully, this does neither...its just a stupid monster movie, with a fair amount of humor added in.

Seriously, the main characters name is "Wong Wei", and he is a bit of a stumble-bum...and the portrayed stereotypes of the bad guys is just stupidly funny. Its not Stephen Chou, but its still pretty darn watchable and good for a mindless chuckle here and there.
