Watch Crocodile Dundee II For Free

A Disappointing Continuation

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I first saw this movie as a kid, so my opinion might be skewed, but I loved the movie then and I love this movie now. It's in some ways better than the original, has great moments of humor, has a very entertaining story line, and has such a good ending. For whatever stretches of the imagination there are, compared to how absurd many modern movies are, I see no reason not to give this movie some slack and just enjoy it. So sit back, lighten up, and you'll thoroughly enjoy this movie.

With the fish-out-of-water gimmick milked dry in the original, they had to contrive something new here and unfortunately that was to pit Dundee against a group of Columbian drug dealers. But even though it adds that dark element, there seemed to be a conscious effort to tone things down a bit, as evidenced by the PG rating (vs. the PG-13 of the first one). There's "violence", but it's mostly of the comedic, Home Alone sort. And despite evolving into somewhat of an action film, it actually plods along more slowly than the original, lacking any semblance of energy or purpose. Hogan remains charming, but unfortunately the charm of the first film is all but gone.

Crocodile Dundee was kinda smart. Crocodile Dundee II was kinda dumb. There is still charm there, but the wit is mostly good. It was one of the many "comedies" that came out between the 80's and 90's that felt the need to turn into violent thrillers. It even seems like a film that was meant to be something else, but the producers decided to cash in on the Dundee name.Hogan is still a hoot and there is some great Aussie scenery, but there isn't much to enjoy in terms of plot. The first one was a surprisingly good romantic comedy. This one is just a forgettable reunion where it's nice to see the friends, but the spread is lame.

I enjoyed the first film and while this sequel isn't as good, it is very enjoyable. I agree the story is predictable, parts of the comedy don't quite work and the film is overlong. But... there are entertaining parts, especially Paul Hogan's outback approach to urban life, Hogan is every bit as likable as he was in the first film, the scenery and photography are excellent, the direction is solid on the most part and I think if there is something it improves on from the original it is brisker in pace than the first was. Linda Kozslowski is nice too. So overall, not as good as the first but entertaining and better than the third by a landslide. 7/10 Bethany Cox
