Crocodile

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 *****

It's the year 2000, and things haven't been going so well for Tobe Hooper. For, like, fifteen years. So when he gets a chance to do something different, with some actual money behind it (nearly $3 million, apparently), he takes a chance.

Crocodile basically tries to cross-breed Scream with Lake Placid, with decidedly mixed results. I've seen worse animals in various SyFy movies, and Tobe wisely doesn't even try to hide Croc's shortcomings, just letting him all hang out for the most part.

Nope, the main problem is with the Scream teens. Most of them are totally unlikeable, and the ones we're supposed to care about are dry white toast on legs.

However, this is better lensed than most movies of this ilk, and there's enough with, visual and verbal, to make this worth your 90 minutes, if only to see what Hooper was up to during Y2K.

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.

This movie is slightly flawed. But Tobe Hooper can direct. I loved this movie. It was better then lake placid. Mr. hooper puts in some good scares. It will make you think twice before leaning over a dock. The film is just a joyride. It's a good old fashioned monster movie. Much better then Anaconda

Hmmm. This movie is kind of a double-edged sword. It's like this, I saw the box and grabbed it up because I wanted something to make fun of. Much like I did with Alligator (which turned out being really good). But here, Tobe Hooper was directing, so I figured it may be worth a shot. Back to what I was saying earlier. There is a lot to be made fun of in this movie, if you're not used to this sort of thing. Those weird people (like myself) who spend much of their free time bashing other people's work will be right at home here. Whether it be some of the characters' ill-executed dialouge or the even iller-executed Croc effects, which sometimes work and sometimes don't. Or it could just be the fact that this is the dumbest bunch of college-agers ever put on film (with the exception of Urban Legend: Final Cut).

Let me say what I like about this movie before I go any further and tell you what passes for the plot. A bunch of beer-swilling college kids (they look like their around that age, but I don't think any of them are smart enough to get in college. No, I'm not being funny) are on a Spring Break and have rented a house boat for what promises to be a fun trip on the lake. They've got all the goods. Beer, beer, and more beer. There's every characters cliche that you would come to expect, featuring the smartass, the whiner who's having trouble with his girlfriend, the loudmouth, the one who's just a little bit louder than the rest, the prude, the slut (I liked her), you get the idea. Everyone has seen this all before...Anyway, one of the girls happens to be unknowingly carrying a crocodile egg in her bag that the prankster put in there as a joke...I don't get it. But, that's the set-up for the whole damn movie. Understandably, the croc is none too happy about her egg being stolen and she's going to try everything in her power to get it back. and maybe have a little fun along the way. You can figure out the rest. The ultimate beer-bash on water, turns into a fight for survival.

Now, even though I've seen this done a thousand times, I still enjoyed Crocodile and rarely got bored. Their were a couple of moments that spent too much time meandering, but the characters are fun to be around and even the Crocodile has a certain charm. Like many other horror flicks out right now, this one has the punk/pop soundtrack and it just makes the whole thing that much more fun. Even though it's predictable, Crocodile is still worth a rental. I would've expected more from the guy who brought us the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, though. Anyhow, give it a run. It's great for some laughs.
