Summary: 2 Stars
Crocodile wants to show all the things that funny scary and smart LAKE PLACID didn't had.Like a stupid group of teenagers and a stupid group of teenagers dead!.From the director of Poltergeist Tobe Hooper.The plot: A group of teenagers is celebrating the Spring-break by going to lake and having a 3 day party on a super cool boat.
Thanks to Kit(D.W. Reiser) and his girlfriend Annabelle(Julie Mintz).
When some of the kids discover a big crocodile nest, they think that is a good idea to break and crash all the eggs.But Hubs, one of the kid stole an egg, and crocodile is angry.

Duncan, is Brady's best friend.They went to school together.

Sunny, she only wants to be with Brady, but she doesn't know that Claire is comming.
Foster and Hubs are friends, they only want to drink beer and sex.But they are too stupid to do that simple things.
After the get really drunk, the crocodile starts to chase them.
But they can't scape, 'cause the ship is broken.So they have to run in to the woods and scape from the big 30feet monster.
The visual effects sucks.The crocodile looks like a toy.
The can't show the entire body, so they go with a mechanic head, that lokks pretty good, in the dead scenes.
A famous director like Tobe Hooper should do a better job that that.
Crocodile is a friday night film, to watch with some friends or a girlfriend.
The acting is bad, the plot is worser and the crocodile visual effects are the worsest of thw worsest.

Running time: 90min.

Movie Review: Chew 'em up and spit 'em out!
Summary: 2 Stars
Crocodile (2000) There have been several movies with titles similar to this one, so be careful you don't confuse it with Alligator, Killer Crocodile, Albino Alligator, Crocodile Dundee, Alligator Eyes, or even the other Crocodile!
This is another credit for director Tobe Hooper that adds little to his resume. A bunch of college students take a boat up a body of water (some shots suggest a river, others a big lake) where they run into an angry 20 foot long crocodile that may or may not be the living incarnation of an Egyptian god. But it is definitely mad as hell and eating everything in its path.
The pluses here are the straightforward story and... well, that's about it. On the minus side, we have annoying unknown actors playing totally unlikable characters, a monster who seems to change size and scale depending on whether he's animatronic or computer generated, and worst of all, a movie that just stops as opposed to coming to an end. This is a definite step down for the guy who directed The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. It's not even as good as Hooper's other crocodile (or alligator) movie Eaten Alive.
Movie Review: Soggy reptile on the attack movie has its moments.
Summary: 2 Stars
Just far too few of them. Certainly Tobe Hooper, after years of directing, can do more with a movie to bring it to life than what he did here. I guess not.Obnoxious 'teen-agers' (some so callous and self-centered you beg for the croc to eat them so the earth will no longer be blighted with their presence) head out for a beer sodden weekend at a lakeside resort. Things take a turn for the worse when they mess with the eggs of a crocodile that's lurking about, one dofus puts an agg in the backpack of another character and momma croc wants it back. The rest of the movie is a fill in the blanks escape from the chasing monster story (at least one character ingested or simply killed during each subsequent attack until the 'battle royal' between the 'romantic leads' and their 'trustworthy comic relief sidekick'). Some of the attacks are a tad exciting, but you really won't care who lives or dies, and Hooper does nothing to inject anything original into the visible narrative. Obviously he didn't care, so why should we?
Movie Review: ALMOST DECENT,ALMOST
Summary: 2 Stars
Ah, the world of direct to video movies,My guess is the people who pump this stuff out and give these movies such original titles like this one has must think no one can read the back of the box or is just to stupid to think for more than 2.2 seconds.This movie was effective when the croc attacked in faster than light assaults.but they where not smart enough to hide the thing for very long.the characters are so stupid you will be glad when the die.The movie was made by tobe hooper.go watch texas chainsaw instead.Movie Review: Good Bad Movie
Summary: 2 Stars
I would have given this movie at least 3 stars if it wasn't because of some obvious flaws. I'm not complaining about the CGI since its to be expected in this kind of films but flaws like the crocodile turning backwards like if it was some sort of vehicle or jumping like a dolphin makes the film a little hard to watch. Ignoring those flaws this movie was fun to watch but its going to be hard to make a lot of people watch this. Good for when you have nothing to do.
