Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
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.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
I still don't understand, the way many great horror movies, are rated so badly in the 4 of 10 or 3, when there is so many movies, that deserve this spot. You got, these realistic, komodo's that don't really, fully look like CGI stuff, which is really lame, i mean some movies, like it i actually like so not all are bad, but this looks like it says more of a Jurassic Park look. I assume, that many people are VERY picky about horror, its fine, their view, well here is my view.These Komodo's are really realistic, looking and how they come in the house, how it snatched the dog, damn great stuff! Got a poor kid that lost his parents, and everything. Then you got tons of realistic komodos coming at them. I mean even Oates or so spelled was in a head and hand combat, and it really looked real, like a real Komodo trying to eat him not fake looking so how is that bad? The only big beef i have with this movie is the bad guys far as i know don't die.THe poor black guy i liked died, that was hard to take, and the funny guy with Oates i forgot his name. I like the oddballs that are cool and stuff that usually die, still terrible that every horror movie 99% of the time the black guy dies. I mean come on already! Otherwise i love this and there can be billions that hate it, or very picky on horror everything has to be 100% to earn even a 5 of 10. I am not as picky or so though if all my people i like die off i usually have a issue with the grading, and other certain stuff. But they look real the attacks real, looking the actors did a great job nothing looks cheap or stupid, so to me it don't deserve no F more of a B-.Bad, bad movies would be the lame and dumb no point Resident Evil movies after 2nd 1. All about Alice and stuff who cares, and all the CGI stuff that aren't really good and the THE BOY which was a Big Let down. Tired of serial killers, same old stuff some crazy guy hacking everyone up! This movie you had ideas how it be but still shocking in my Opinion. Either way one looks at it, i look at it as it is and it is a great movie, great action realistic looking evil Komodo's thats why i bought it i saw it years back and wanted it, very few monster movies like this has that spark i like, and it has just that, it looks more of a Jurassic impression to me and i for one like it a lot. Ends great but should of killed the bad guys! Plus save the cool black guy i forgot name. 8/10 ! or 81% B-
I don't understand why these movies where people investigate a mystery the audience already knows the truth behind are so common.Are there komodo dragons on the island? Did they kill Patrick's parents? The movie is called Komodo; if you can't accurately guess the answer you scare me...Aside from the mystery, Patrick behaves oddly at times although considering he's traumatised that's perhaps not terribly surprising. However he changes from being somewhat withdrawn to being intent on slaughtering any lizards in sight.Unfortunately Patrick provides the only element making this any different from several similar movies & the pacing is dreadfully slow resulting in a film that isn't terribly entertaining.
"Komodo" cries out with the anguished screams of wasted potential. Its flaws mostly smother its virtues. The acting is reasonably solid, with the exception of (among others) the film's useless villain, a tacked-on character whose accent which wanders clumsily from Cockney to Australian and back again. The special effects are the film's true strength, although in some scenes they seem poorly composited into the scene -- their ambient shadows are not colour-matched as well as they deserve to be.Essentially, the problem with the movie is its lousy script, and Michael Lantieri's somewhat mechanical, dispassionate efforts as a director. I'm glad this guy gave up directing after "Komodo", because visual effects are clearly his forte. As an aside, the locations are somewhat interesting for a Brisbane native -- I spotted the Cape Moreton lighthouse from Moreton Island, as well as the dodgy Brisbane suburb of Wynnum. The "street" scene was all too obviously an outdoor set, however. And what's a cop car with Georgia license plates doing in North Carolina? It wouldn't have jurisdiction there.Four stars out of ten. Pity it wasn't better.
The premise of the movie isn't very realistic. A counsellor brings her charge back to the island where he was living when his parents got eaten in an attempt to cure his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Of course she doesn't check if the bleedin' monsters are still on the dang island and his aunt gets eaten in front of him. The kid, who's been lying around staring at the ceiling since his folks became Komodo chow, suddenly morphs into Tarzan jr. and starts skewering Komodos. I feel for the poor kid. It's gonna take helluva lot of pills to get him back into society.Not too much suspense here and the Komodos look fake on occasion, which leaves action sequences, of which there is sufficient, but it's not enough to float this movie. 3/10
