It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
When a gigantic crocodile begins heading toward the city of Los Angeles to recover a batch of stolen eggs, a military group must head into action to keep the creature at bay before it causes untold destruction.This one ended up being a massive disappointment as a horror film though there's some good stuff overall here. One of the biggest positives here is the absolutely fun and cheesy creature attacks here that make this much more fun than expected. It's presented pretty much as one long action sequence here from the start, with the opening encounters in the forest where the opening ambush and later discovery of the eggs in the secret cavern are great at introducing the creature's size and habitat out in the woods as well as the military attacks that result in the discovery of the creature which goes deep into the forest for some really fun action to start this off. That follows into the film's best parts and what really fuels the film in that it turns into a giant monster movie with a cheesy bent as there's a lot of fun here in the continued military attacks from ground troops firing off at it through the forest to the exciting attacks that take place in the march to the city as there's an air-strike, a series of helicopter assaults and a final attack during the full-on city destruction scene which allows this one to get plenty of fun in the cheesy destruction moments of the panicked crowed fleeing that the film becomes enjoyable because of this extended kind of scene. While it's the film's best part, it's also one of the most damaging in that that the kind of giant monster film that it becomes, there's just very little horror elements present since the croc is so much bigger than it should be and it doesn't really attack anyone. Instead, it's pretty much attacked all the way through with the kind of extended, drawn-out scenes here of the military brass meeting to discuss what to do with it and determining what kind of creature this is that the pace is built away even from a horror film that it drops down a lot from these issues. That brings the film along with nice monster movie action but not as much works here as a horror film with a croc so big it can't attack anyone in the city destruction scenes since there's no one around and the rest of the plot tends to revolve around the same scenes of military tactical decision making. The last part that lowers this one is the rather lame and embarrassing-styled CGI here for the croc as it doesn't really look all that great with the usual amount of flaws here in the failure to interact with the surroundings, the complete inability to blend together to the action presented and generally coming across with the same level of detail as decades-old video games which have long been a staple of such films and continues on in here. These here manage to keep this one down from what it could've been.Rated R: Graphic Language and Violence.
This movie is the "Robot Monster" of the 20th century, except not as funny. The special effects in the scene where the crocodile jumps up and attacks the helicopter are absolutely the worst CGI I have ever seen! The crocodile's first scene makes it look like a giant floating turd or a piece of cardboard. Also, the movie has the traditional bad-B-movie "scientist" who knows nothing about her field. In this one, the "scientist" lady makes a bunch of totally incorrect comments. She keeps referring to the croc as an "archosaur" as if that was a specific kind of prehistoric crocodile. It's really the group that includes all crocodiles, dinosaurs, and probably birds. She also says that its plating is so thick that it can't be hurt by "modern bullets". Have these paleontologists actually tested prehistoric species for bullet-proof-ness? Also, just HOW does a 100-foot crocodile weigh "ten thousand tons?" A 100-foot Blue Whale is a little under 200 tons! Even worse, the only reason the crocodile doesn't get bombed from the air is that it keeps disappearing. The military can't find a 100-foot crocodile in the area around Los Angeles? I didn't know there were that many vast wildernesses there, or that a whale-sized crocodile was so good at hiding (on land, no less!)Finally, for a monster movie, there isn't nearly enough action. I like mindless action movies, but this is kind of boring. All the inaccuracies and dumbnesses, maybe even the horrid special effects, could be forgiven if it was at least exciting - but no! It isn't even a good "mindless action movie". The only real "action" scene is right at the end when the croc gets blown up.
Well well...my first 'review' on IMDb. Until now I've mostly read others opinions and reviews, usually ignoring well-meant and sincere advises to NOT watch certain movies. Let me just say: I hope I can spare some people 90 minutes of utter misery by saying DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! I'm quite a fan of this type of movies, where usually some kind of animal or creature, created by some chemical waste or awakened from a centuries long slumber, is threatening a crew or city and killing/destroying everything in it's wake. I'm used to such movies not rating too high on IMDb as well. But this one definitely beats everything when it comes to being complete crap.The storyline... I'm not really sure there was one. The special effects... imagine a 100foot crocodile making it's way into the water, without even the slightest ripple in the water surface; amazing? Not as amazing as how it stampedes around noisy like a herd of mammoths in one scene, yet manages to sneak up on our brave heroes without a sound in the next.One other annoying thing was the sound; I don't know if my sound system was mucking up on me, but 3/4 of the dialogs were impossible to hear if you don't want to actively raise and lower your volume continuously. Especially when a 'background' music or tune is playing (which is most of the time), it becomes impossible to hear what is being said. Learn to read lips or make sure you have the subtitles on.Ah to cut it short, this really is a miserable attempt at a movie. Feel absolutely free to watch it, but don't say you weren't warned.
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.
