Crocodilo Dundee em Hollywood

I rented Crocodile Dundee in LA on it's first day of video release and watched it twice that evening. I was not expecting high art and didn't find it, but I did find a pleasant, watchable and entertaining movie. There's something about Mick as a hero that is just likeable. I think it's his self confidence. With all the tension of the past week it was nice to just sit back and watch Mick save the day in a calm and caring fashion. I'll be buying this one on DVD and be waiting for "Mick Dundee, Private Eye".

They went one-too-many in the Crocodile Dundee series with this third film. The sequel (Dundee II) was very good and that should have been the end of it. By the time this third one was made, Paul Hogan was putting on the wrinkles fast (although still in shape) and co-star/wife Linda Kozlowski had put on a few pounds.

The movie didn't fare well, maybe because the humor dominated instead of a balanced mix of it with drama, humor and romance as the other two films emphasized. Also, this story had done before in the first movie, with the Australian coping with America in New York so we didn't a replay of that in Los Angeles.

One thing nice about this film: it was nice in a mellow sort of way. There is a gentleness to it, a nice tone which you don't often see in today's R-rated dominated film industry....and it still was entertaining, for the most part. It's just too much familiar ground and added very little to what the first two films showed.

I just saw this movie it was like a timemachine, I was back in the 80's. That was positive. The movie has the same charm and humor as in the first Dundee. So if you like Crocodile Dundee you must see this movie.. this is a good oldfashioned movie without any big special effects. See it...

It's not a bomb. It's just that Hogan drifts through the whole thing as if he can't wait to be finished.The plot about the art crooks is plain silly though there are some funny one-liners and a hilarious cameo from Mike Tyson as himself.It works best as a movie on TV. It's clean, undemanding fare and something you can enjoy with all the family. Not many movies outside Disney can you say that about these days.

Good fun abounds in this acceptable sequal. If you take this movie too seriously then you won't enjoy it. I say enjoy this movie for what it is and not for what it isn't. Paul Hogan is cool in this, Linda K. is kind of stale in her part. Finally, the Dundee trilogy is complete and so is my life, now. Good a' mate, i found me a croc' to wrastle. 6 out of 10.
