Movie Reviews of Crocodile
Movie Review: Bic croc on spring break
Summary: 4 Stars
A group of college students set out for a spring break vacation on a remote lake. The lake is, for some reason, named after an Egyptian crocodile god.Shortly into their partying, the local member tells the tale of a large crocodile that was brought to the lake some 90 years earlier by a crazy millionaire. Crocs can live a long time and this one is still about. But it is only when some drunk fishermen disturb her nest that she makes her presence known in a killing-frenzy.
Of the big croc movies, this one has a slightly more plausible premise for the monster than the rest. The croc was brought on purpose and it is large, but not abnormally so (about 20 feet).
The croc pursues out characters in a relentless fury with a few tense moments. The ending is also a bit better than most (except for Lake Placid).
The characters are a little stereotyped for this style movie with no real interesting character development, but we really aren't looking for that in a giant croc film are we? For the most part the characters act in a realistic fashion for the situation.
This is sort of Lake Placid without the interesting cast.
Movie Review: SEE YOU LATER ALLIGATOR
Summary: 4 Stars
Tobe Hooper has given us films that are considered classics, such as POLTERGEIST and TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, plus a minor gem, THE FUNHOUSE. In CROCODILE, perhaps one of the better "crocodile/alligator" movies, he gives us some jolts and scares, a rather well done crocodile animatronic, but alas and alack, a gaggle of characters who become so whiny and self-serving, you want the crocodile to eat them all. This is the scriptwriter's fault, but the actors (and that's being kind) are so untalented, they only make you want them to bite the bullet! As always, the college kids are shown as dope-smoking, alcoholic wastes, and how can one feel sorry for Brady, when it's obvious he still has the hots for Sunny (the unbelievably bad Sommer Knight). Mark McLaughlin, Chris Solari and Caitlin Martin are on the level with high school thespians, and the poor guy who plays Lester isn't even that far.So why 4 stars? For what it's supposed to do, CROCODILE succeeds; Hooper knows how to stage suspense; too bad he didn't have a better cast.
Movie Review: AN 11 YEAR OLD REVIEWER
Summary: 4 Stars
THIS MOVIE WAS COOOOL!!!!! I FIRST BOUGHT IT AT AMAZON.COM, OF COURSE AND WHEN I WATCHED IT, IT BECAME ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME. I KNOW MOST PEOPLE HATED THIS MOVIE BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY GOOD. I THOUGHT THIS MOVIE WAS TOBE HOOPER'S BEST YET.TOBE HOOPER HAS DIRECTED PLENTY OF OTHER MOVIES SUCH AS POLTERGEIST, AND TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.POLTERGEIST WAS AN INSTANT CLASSIC SAME WITH TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.
SYNOPSIS: 8 TEENAGERS SPEND THEIR SPRING BREAK ON BOARD A HOUSEBOAT WHICH THEY GOT A DEAL ON. BUT WHEN THEY FIND A BUNCH OF SMASHED CROC EGGS IN THE MARSHLANDS THEY CAN'T RESIST TAKING ONE NON SMASHED EGG BACK WITH THEM.WHEN THE CROCODILE REALIZES MOST OF HER EGGS ARE SMASHED AND ONE IS GONE SHE GOES ON A WILD RAMPAGE AND STARTS DEVOURING THE TEENS AND A FEW MORE PEOPLE INCLUDING THE SHERIFF.
DESPITE THIS MOVIES BAD CGI EFFECTS IT WAS VERY GOOD. IF YOU LIKED THIS MOVIE I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND CROCODILE 2, BLOOD SURF, LAKE PLACID, AND CROCODILE (1981).
Movie Review: July 15, 2003
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie was really good and suspenseful. CROCODIlE is about these teenagers that decide to go on a camping trip for spring break. Eventually they find this nest of crocodile eggs {most already smashed} and decide to take the only surviving one back to camp. The crocodile finds that her eggs are missing and goes afte the teenagers when it discovers ther'e responsible. and somehow there boat gets stranded somewhere far from camp and they must flee for their lives as the crocodile goes after them. my favorite parts were when the crocodile bit the rope in half, pushed the car into the swamp, and when it reached up and killed the sheriff and bit the motor in half. the only thing bad about this movie was that so many people die.Movie Review: A killer remake
Summary: 4 Stars
If you saw the original Texas Chainsaw Masscer and the Poltergist. You'll love this. This movie is a remake of the original Crocodile shout back in 1981.

Little does he know he is being watch by a full grown 30 foot salt water crocodile. Who got pissed of. Some drunk fisherman disturb here nested. Smash the some of the eggs and threw some in the water where they sunk. The crocodile goes one a killing spree. Will the teens survive find out in the bonechilling conclusion.
