Supercroc

The acting is competent, with Kim Little (sort of resembles a Faith Ford and Elisabeth Shue hybrid which is kind of cool), playing her cards close to her chest as Government palaeontologist called in to advise on a giant crocodile that's been unearthed by an earthquake, threatening coastal towns en route to LA. Soldiers in the field (Hall & Blashaw) are being pursued by the indestructible behemoth with General (Novak), Little's character and other assorted advisors frantically co-ordinating efforts to control the beast's path of destruction from HQ.

It's all digital camcorder, CGI, synthesiser-sound, cheap home movie stuff, and while the performances are probably better than average for this type of production, the overall result is lacklustre. A raft of audio-visual tricks that don't paper over the budget holes, no realistic interaction between actors and the title antagonist, MTV-style light, sound and editing techniques, masses of stock footage but most disappointing of all, precious little horror or suspense.

It's the kind of movie that looks conceived and executed by visual artists instead of storytellers, all smoke & mirrors sans substance.

Supercroc is one of those movies that doesn't quite motivate you enough to get up of the couch and turn and it off.

The acting wasn't too bad I guess,but the CGI and the storyline were rotten!!!!

Remember lake placid? That movie had humour,decent effects,decent acting and although the storyline was unbelievable,it was enjoyable.Supercroc on the other hand left me feeling like I had wasted around 90mns of my life!

The movie wasn't quite bad enough to motivate me to turn it off,I say not quite,but very,very close to it. I just wanted it to finish so I could go to bed.

If you love low budget,bad acting,terrible story lines etc.. then this movie is a must!!! If not,I'd avoid it like the plague!

OK, i understand it's a bad movie, but is it a truly BAD movie? Because there is true genius to be found in good BAD movies. Different standards have to be applied to BAD movies. Roger Corman made an entire career out of cranking out schlocky B monster movies that entertain a generation of film geeks. It is amazing what he accomplished with the budget that they had back then.

Supercroc is not a Hollywood blockbuster, it was never meant to be. It's cheap and there's hardly any Croc at all. It never aspires to be more then what it really is, a monster movie made for pennies on the dollar purely for the sake of killing the people off one by one. You KNOW the drill, you KNOW what to expect. Grab the bucket of popcorn, sit back and start the lottery going on who it is to get knocked off first. Will it be the plucky but timid girl out for her first adventure?? The token minority?? The mom who is going thru a tough divorce? Mr Hooper... oops, he's already dead. The guy in the red shirt....... well, you get the drift.

I thought it was just me, but no, apparently the sound really is that bad. But then I am one of those people who leave the Closed Captions turned on by default on my television. They would have been a blessing for this movie. During the.first half of the movie I couldn't help but think that if I had been watching this in black and white I would have assumed it was a B-movie from the 1950s. But I like those sort of films (where's Ray Harryausen when you need him?)....unfortunately the story gets less and less convincing as it goes on and even introduces a conspiracy sub-plot with a very predictable final scene. Sorry, it's no threat to 1959's "The Giant Gila Monster".

I found myself cheering every time the giant lizard ate another one of these crappy actors.

Every line is a cliché, the effects are made on decade old computers, and the actors must have been friends of the director. All in all I get the expression that they collected some guys, gave them some gun replicas and gave them a couple of lines each. It really feels like a cheap TV-show on sci-fi channel or something, with special effects substandard to even high school media students. Who on earth gave these guys funds for this. I bet someone is having rich parents.

This film made me angry. For wasting my time, as well as others.
