Crocodilo

Well, it's crap, but it's entertaining crap. A lot of people judge this movie very harshly because it was directed by Tobe Hooper and I can't blame them. This isn't a good movie. It's silly, it panders to the teen crowd with awful dialogue and stupid jokes. The crocodile is laughable. Bad CGI. But there a few moments I do enjoy, some nice cinematography and overhead scenes of the lake and forest. And if you're a fan of the campy teen scare scene you'll probably enjoy the beginning at least a bit. Overall I'd say it's very middle of the road.

I brought this for 6 bucks and it came with two other cheapo budget movies Spiders and Octopus (such creative names). But Crocodile which I expected to be the lamest one, shocked me as being the more enjoyable one. Although the CGI is horrible and a few of the characters are so boring that you don't notice they're eaten, there are some plus points.

Duncan is without a doubt every womans nightmare and the coolest guy in the movie, he's funny and a typical guy.. very believable because he even looks the type that he plays.

Brandy is the typical pretty boy star of the film, but one thing that stunned me.. he COULD act, he stole the film for me and really impressed me. I'm quite surprised to see he's had no roles in any slightly big movies. He's a good actor, plays the character well and is a very believable teenager.

The rest of the cast are not so great, Claire is the best actress in the movie but Sunny has more of a character to her.

The plot is what you'd expect and although the Croc Hunter (who's name escapes me) is a poor actor and made me laugh out of lack of ability to do his totally 20 lines well, just remember.. he's just an extra meal and u won't mind him.

Overall an enjoyable film which I'm glad I brought at an average of 2 bucks :) Props out to Duncan and Brandy.. I'll give this film a *** out of *****

Many people trash "Crocodile" for having terrible effects, terrible acting, etc. I think those people just don't understand this movie. It isn't SUPPOSED to have great effects, great acting, great story, or great anything. This movie is COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS, which is exactly what makes it so fun! Tobe Hooper knew exactly what he was doing with this movie. It's insane, it's stupid, but it's the most fun I've had in a long time.

This movie is very easy to enjoy. Just turn off your brain, toss that useless film school education out the window, and enjoy bad actors being eaten by a bad effect.

Maybe I don't get this movie. Is it supposed to be as bad as it seems? When I watched Cabin Fever (and let's face it, Crocodile is similar with a different enemy) I thought I'd misunderstood it because there was a chance that the sheer awfulness was deliberate.

It's the usual (and annoyingly repetitive) Teenager Elimination flick (along with Cabin Fever, Wrong Turn, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Jeepers Creepers, etc, etc) and, predictably, the characters are so obnoxious and shallow that you don't care who dies next. The afore- mentioned movies have a few things in common. Firstly you need a few teenagers to hate. Secondly, the enemy (which could be anything) needs to start wiping out the teenagers. Also required are some locals who know the history behind the enemy. Sound familiar? I can't understand why movie makers still write this kind of trash.

The CGI was awful. Another comment left here explained that this movie was supposed to be rubbish and the CGI was supposed to be unrealistic. What?! Why would a movie company want to spend its money on a film with unconvincing special effects on purpose? Ludicrous. This was released in 2000 and there's no excuse for bad effects these days.

The acting was substandard too. The writers have injected a love story into the mix which, quite frankly, didn't help things along. There was a little insight to the characters but after establishing that, you still didn't care who was going to die and when.

Won't be watching this one again in a hurry - if I'd read the review in the TV guide, I wouldn't have bothered at all. It's just the same old formula with a different enemy. Doesn't matter whether it's a contagious disease, piranhas, man with chainsaw, demon, alien or crocodile - stick a selection of unconvincing teenagers into the situation and you've got movie-making at its worst.

Eight teenagers go out on a weekend boat trip on a remote lake in Southern California only to have it turn into a nightmare when they are stalked by a very large, monstrous man-eating crocodile after they disturb its nest, and soon they must band together in order to survive from the beast

I love killer Animals movies , this is not that bad at all, I for one think this movie is really good, , it had some good scare scenes, which made me jump.

Acting in this movie was not great but not bad at all, as I have seen much worse.

For me this movie never got boring,as I was really griped into the story!

Very good cheesy /scary Crocodile movie 6/10
