Movie Reviews of Crocodile
Movie Review: Highly entertaining and re-watchable.
Summary: 5 Stars
I know some people must think I'm nuts for rating a movie like this 5/5 Stars but I'm rating it according to the type of film it is -- a Grade B creature-on-the-loose flick. Anyone watching a film called "Crocodile" knows up front that it ain't no "Apocalypse Now." With this understanding, "Crocodile" (2000) is simply a blast.
THE STORY: A bunch of college kids go out to a scenic vacation spot on Spring Break to have some fun in the sun and encounter a giant crocodile.
To be expected in such a scenario the youths "party" and cuss a lot, so stay away if either offends you.
"Crocodile" was directed by Tobe Hooper, the hallowed director of the acclaimed "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." I'm personally not a fan of "Texas" and feel "Crocodile" is a much more entertaining effort.
The film was shot on a scenic lake in Mexico (although the story takes place in the USA). Needless to say, fabulous locations.
WHAT DOESN'T WORK: There's a fake-looking CGI scene depicting the crocodile jumping over a boat that doesn't work at all, not to mention, it was highly unbelievable (of course, the WHOLE film is unbelievable, huh?). Other than that the F/X are fine for a Grade B flick; in fact, the crocodile looks great.
FINAL ANALYSIS: "Crocodile" is not great cinema but it is great mindless entertainment. It's got loads of energy. As testimony to its entertainment value, I've watched it three times in the last few years -- it's just a fun, re-watchable creature-on-the-loose flick highlighted by some extremely cute girls.
For comparison, "Crocodile" is overall way more entertaining than "Lake Placid."
Movie Review: A little dumb but LOTS of fun
Summary: 5 Stars
A group of teenagers plan a fun filled Spring Break on a house boat. One day the group stumble upon a load of crocodile eggs (most of them smashed already). Goofing around they break one and steal another. The next day they wake up and realise that the boat managed to drift away and none of them have any clue where the hell they are. That's not their only problem, for the mother(named Flat Dog) is extramly mad and wants revenge. After reviewing Blood Surf I remembered that I hadn't reviews Crocodile, so here it is. I highly enjoyed this flick and seriously think it should of gone to the cinema so it's ten times better then a few movies that have gone to the cinema, it's got quite alot of scares, I can't count the amount of times I jumped out of my seat. The movie has some cool gore and a nice script and is helped by some likable charicters. This is a great started for all the young actors in this movie, each one of them look to be having a blast in their roles and do a superb job as well. I still can't believe I didn't get a chance to see this on the big screen it's so good. I found myself into this movie very quickly it was truly a brilliant movie, I have my DVD ordered. I highly recommend this movie to any one of you (but there is a little bit of cheese, Croc pushing a car into the water to distroy the evadence anyone??) but who cares, it's to damn entertaining.Movie Review: A new heartthrob is on the scene
Summary: 5 Stars
after watching Crocodile for the second time I realized that there was something more to this fresh independent film released just last year. Sophocles once said that "comedy is the art of living". Clearly one actor has given "a breath of life" to this film by taking these words to heart. Perhaps one of the most exciting young actors since the revival of S.E. Hinton's The Outsiders (Directed with critical acclaim by Elliot Amsterdam); Chris Solari, ignites the screen as "Duncan"; a mischeivious young stallion dedicated to pleasure and destruction. My favorite part was when Duncan(Solari) was wading in the water and the crocodile was swimming near him and Duncan(Solari) was oblivious. It was as if Solari himself was that oblivious, I mean wow! Not since Duvall's work in Godfather II has an actor taken advantadge of the power of silence. Crocodile is a fine film but it is the performance of an exciting new actor that makes Crocodile a new American classic. On a personal note I was one of the lucky girls to exchange favors with this wild stud who spends much of his free time at a Hollywood hot spot called "Myagis" and the only thing I have left say is I hope Solari comes back to my reading class to visit me . . . again. I am a little girl.Movie Review: Lots and Lots of Fun.
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is not going to win any oscars, but it is sure a hell of alot of fun to watch when you are bored on a friday night. The corcodile is ok, it does not look that real, but it has teeth and can eat you. Even now low-budget movies are using CGI effects. Crocodile follws kids into swamp...crocodile eats kids in swamp one by one. Likable characters. A good party movie. Underrated. And for whatever person that wrote in their review andIQuote "whoever did this film was really dumb" is very, very wrong. Though many of you do not know it,guess who directed this movie? TOBE HOOPER! The guy who directed "texas chainsaw massacre" and "Poltergeist." He is not an ammatuer director. Crocodile iis definetly something worht renting, and also buying if you are a fan of the "animals-eat-people" genre. lol.

Movie Review: Come on people this is an AWESOM movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
Most of you out there know the famous Tobe Hooper directed this. Most of his movies are now clasics and this one should be treated the same!Tobe rased the money for this film by him self and put alot of hard work into it. Don't think that you're buying a low budget film with bad actors and a crappy script because you're not. You're buying a low budget film with great acting and an awesom script! It's about a group of 6 teens on spring break being stalked by a 30 foot mother croc because they took her last egg. One by one each teen is devoured until the final three have to find a way to stop the croc before it's too late. If you are a fan of Tobe Hooper you will love it.
