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.

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.

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.

If you are a fan of B-grade monster movies, this one is absolutely watchable, especially Heidi Lenhart. I may not know art, but I know what I like!

The plot is stupid, the acting terrible. Continuity and production values are non-existent. The budget appears to have been the change from inside the producers' car-seats. In short, it is everything you would expect from a straight-to-video creature feature. The film succeeds on its own terms.

Some reviewers complain about the obviously ersatz crocodile, but I enjoyed this low-budget quickie more than "The Matrix Reloaded" and "Scooby-Doo" combined (two recent CGI-laden Hollywood debacles.)

You can catch this on late-night cable as "Crocodile 2: Death Roll."

Had the misfortune to watch this on Sky TV. Awful acting and story line. Not worth the price of the video tape. Don't bother its totally lame.

I agree completely with everyone who says this is a truly dreadful movie (and I'm pretty sure the guy who said it was better than CITIZEN KANE was joking). But... but... I had quite a fun time watching it (after the sub-KILLING ZOE bank job and its home-video titles)! I got this movie in a pack of 12 DVDs for £12 (Croc I and II; Octopus I and II; Spider I and II etc etc etc) -- all Nu Image releases, the same company that completely dismembered WILD SIDE when Donald Cammell handed it in (if you saw it and hated it, try and get hold of the recent reconstruction of it: a totally different -- and genuinely decent -- film. It just goes to show how important editing is in the movie-making process).

No, it's not KANE or AMBERSONS or even AMERICAN BEAUTY (an over-rated film if ever there was one -- if you want the edgy dark-side of US suburbia, watch BLUE VELVET; if you want slightly pretentious Oscar-bait, watch BEAUTY). Heck, I can't justify giving it more than 2/10 -- it's that poor! Neverthless I had a good time watching it (and the illustrious Tobe Hooper directed first instalment) and I reckon most other folks will too, just so long as they disengage their critical brains, open a beer, and can see through the tears of laughter caused by the awful acting and CGI!

Right, the plot is as follows: a plane crashes in a swamp after some weird bank robbers kill the pilot to save their loot. A pathetic bunch of survivors then tramps around the swamp with a ludicrously fake-looking croc in pursuit. O-k what's the big deal? The film certainly does not answer the description I had from the video club: "I warn you kid, this film is traumatizing", traumatizingly bad more like it. The acting was awful and the croc looked VERY fake, even faker than in the first Crocodile. But in some bits they used an animatronic crocodile and it looked pretty impressive. As for the characters, I was quite glad when the croc started to use them as chew toys, they were sickeningly pathetic. Well, in all, I say DO NOT watch this movie. If you are looking for real entertainment rent another one.

I really enjoyed the first Crocodile, which was funny and amusing. But unfortunately Croc 2 is not that funny.

The first 30 minutes it's like watching Turbulence part IIV (meets Passenger 57). Some bad criminals (and they ARE bad because they carry a gun and they use the F-word in almost every phrase) are hijacking a plane and make it crash into a swamp where a hungry crocodile is waiting for dinner. Sounds exciting so far...

But what makes this movie dull is the fact that you see more 'bad guy is shooting hostage'-stuff than crocodile-attacks. And this storyline makes it all very predictable, too bad.

This movie is not completely terrible, but it's nothing special.

If you did enjoy this movie I recommend Blood Surf and Octopus.

While Tobe Hooper's Crocodile (2000) was very much a poor relation his Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), in both a bunch of teens in the middle of nowhere encounter a deadly local threat, the sequel is more akin to the likes of Anaconda (1997), with a mature cast and the added presence of a human threat.

This time instead of partying youths, the protagonists are bank robbers and hostages. During a storm the desperate criminals hijack their flight to Acapulco and it crashes as a result. Exploiting weaknesses in airport security, pre-9/11, the thieves had been able to smuggle aboard weapons with laughable ease.

Stranded in a Mexican swamp, the thieves hold fellow survivors captive as they attempt to make their journey to safety with their loot. Unfortunately they have landed in the feeding ground of a ridiculously large crocodile. As they are eaten one by one, a plucky young heroine attempts to overcome the human and reptile threat to be united with her boyfriend.

A parallel plot in which the boyfriend becomes aware of his girlfriend's danger and sets out to find her fills out the running time and seems copied from I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998). There's nothing original in this movie and even the shocking denouement is a steal from Carrie (1976).

Stage scenes evoke the kind of creature features shot in the 1950s and Martin Kove lends quality support to a cast of unknowns doing a Harrison Ford impersonation with shades of Robert Shaw. Intertextual elements such as these mean that there is never a dull moment for genre fans.

While the settings for the film are the United States and Acapulco, it is quite clear from the closing credits that this film was made far beyond the fringes of Hollywood. Prolific production company Nu Image, who churned out a number of creature features in the early 00s, have made many of their films in South Africa and Bulgaria, but this was shot in India.

How much you enjoy Crocodile 2 will largely depend on your expectations and mood. I loved this when I first saw it and found it very bland the next. There's a modest amount of gore to please post-pub viewers of all ages but there's little that's memorable.

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.

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!!!!

Just go find them. This film is enjoyable for that feature alone. It redefines the meaning of "B" Movie. Enjoy! When I started watching this "Masterpiece of Mayhem", it was with open eyes and a heart full of expectations. I did and it did....NOT! Just watch it for plot holes and goofs and it becomes entertaining, the only reason for keeping one eye open.

Have fun with friends and lots of booze to see who can find the most goofs and continuity holes. The winner gets to send me a six pack!

<grin>

Without these gems where would the bottom of the IMDB lists go?

what a load of rubbish i saw crocodile one and quite liked it although it was tacky and a bit predictable it was still good watching, Crocodile 2 however was a load of rubbish, the lead bad man was so false and I lost count of how many times he said the same swear word over and over mother**** the plot was very predictable and not worth the cost of making the movie the crocodile looked less real than the last film The video shop should have paid me to hire it

I hope you're not that naive to believe our fellow reviewer below who claims this movie is better than "Citizen Kane" and "American Beauty." This movie is the sort that you'll find in the $1.99 bin at Blockbuster next month, or playing on the USA network at 3 in the morning. The special effects are horrible, the film is flat and there's nothing of any importance in this movie - a total waste of time. Don't even bother...please?

1/10

... but this one takes the cake!

First of all, if people tell you this is a B-flick, ignore them. This isn't even a D-flick. The special affects of the monster are pretty much the cheapest you will ever see, unless your nephew makes a horror movie with Dad's camcorder.

OK, so it was bad. Let's focus on what was good. Nothing.

Now that we have gotten that out of the way, let's look at some details. I am not even going to mention that idiot who gets up after being soaked in water about a dozen times and lights a dry cigar. Probably Cuban. So, I mentioned him anyway. Sue me.

What else is there to say? I cannot believe Jeffrey Combs played in this movie - he played all sorts of frucks on Star Trek (just as badly I might add! Just imagine he was once considered as Commander Riker. Barf!). In this one he was the master thespian who portrayed 'Jack - gimme that Wiskey with the blond's pills in it', the really vicious bad guy who - big surprise - gets eaten. You'll probably sleep when he appears, so you won't remember.

Any other details that will go down in the annals of movie history? Oh, yes. I almost forgot. Wanna see a croc jump out of the water and eat a helicopter? Well, this movie is for you!

This super duper monster croc dies because the lead ditch (I think that should be spelled with a 'b') spills about 5 gallons of fuel on the water. What a devious plan. And high tech, too! Seriously, they spill a little fuel on the water and the darn thing goes splat. It was probably glad the movie was over. If it hadn't been, I would have doused myself in a little fuel.

Sometimes you see a movie and it makes you understand things. I now know what that silly monk in Vietnam was thinking those many years ago, when he lit himself on fire. He saw this movie coming. I guarantee it, no matter how that is spelled!

Well, I feel much better now. Mike

P.s.: OK, I take back that stuff about the lead ditch and needing to spell that with a 'b'. Heidi Lenhart deserves better work than this. And she is pretty!

It seems hard to believe, but this in-name-only "sequel" is actually slightly more fun than the original "Crocodile". Sure, the digital version of the croc looks as embarrassingly fake as it did the first time around (Jesus does it look fake), though the animatronic model looks OK. And the characters are equally unappealing and/or moronic, but at least some of them have an excuse this time - they're robbers, after all (one of them even looks like David Hess!). By the way, I spotted at least two references to Tarantino's movies, which must have been intentional. (*1/2)

This has got to be one of the worst films i've ever seen in in my entire life. It was absolutely diabolical. Crappy acting [at best] and a terrible script - This film only deserved a 1/10, although i was left laughing at the deaths which convinced me to push it up to a 2/10.

I give this movie a '7 out of 10' on a 'B' movie scale. It was more entertaining than I expected and contained some twists and turns to the story that kept me watching it without getting bored. There is a good balance between action and character development as well. The special effects are as good as they come for this kind of movie but you won't be so concerned about that because the setting and story will keep you entertained. Acting is good with the main female character doing a great job. The bad guys are also pretty convincing with focus on mainly just two of them. Strangely, I would say this movie is as much about humans as it is about the crocodile.

The story has in fact nothing to do with Tobe Hooper's Crocodile (2000). The only thing that comes back is the bad looking crocodile. And with bad I mean, a CGI looking laughable croc. But the difference with Tobe's flick is that here we do have a story and we have better acting.

Still it's weird to see that a man like Gary Jones agreed to direct such a flick. He was once the special effects technician of Evil Dead 2 (1987) and Army Of Darkness (1992) but he also did other creature features like this namely Mosquito (1995) and Spiders (2000). Due having a rather good script the flick do work but again, the croc doesn't fit in the story. Okay, a plane crashes into a swamp and there do live a giant croc but again, the croc doesn't look believable.

The acting was okay but somehow I wasn't involved into the characters, therefor the story really hasn't got any surprises. I can't say that I would recommend this to anyone. Maybe if you watch it p*ssed and proud it works out fine but the croc saga, as so many croc flicks (except Alligator (1980) I just couldn't care about.
