Movie Reviews of Lake Placid 2 (Unrated)
Movie Review: Come on there are films of the same genre far worser than this one
Summary: 3 Stars
Its true what most people say. The acting is below average. The crocodiles are obviously CGI. But what do you expect from a movie that was released in the Sci-Fi channel and with a a budget of $2,000,000(The original movie had a budget of up to $27,000,000)? In my opinion this was a good movie for what it is (a Sci-Fi movie). The plot in my opinion is not that much of a rehash of the original. But its a little hard to tolerate the below-average acting. The crocodiles themselves do not look that bad to me, since I do not mind that much the obvious use of CGI. At least this sequel its not just an only in name sequel like other films. Recommend this movie to those who do not mind bad special effects and who do not take things too seriously.Movie Review: Lake Placid 2- the Fun, Funny, splattery version
Summary: 3 Stars
Lake Placid 2 is defiantly a really bad movie, but that it why i love it
Plot- some croc's survived after the attack in 1999, now they have grown up and are feasting of the lake placid citizens!
Acting- o, my, god, it's john schneider
Gore- a lot of blood, severed limbs, a decapitation, chewed of arms and more
Bottom Line- 3 out of 5
Rated R for creature violence, and some nudity/ Time 88min/ 2007/ Color
Movie Review: Horror

Movie Review: crocs are back in Black Lake...
Summary: 2 Stars
A sequel to Lake Placid (1999), the Sy Fy Channel Original Movie Lake Placid 2 (2007), continues the story of oversized crocodiles loose in Black Lake, Maine. Without a particularly interesting story, the main attraction is probably the carnivorous beasts, but sadly the special effects in this made for TV movie, are barely adequate at best. The crocs chomp people whole, and boldly crawl up on land to attack, but it's all rather unconvincing, often more funny than scary.
Sadie Bickerman (Cloris Leachman) has been feeding her pets meat loaded with growth hormones, causing the crocs to grow to enormous size. When a scientist is attacked and killed on the lake, Sheriff James Riley (John Schneider) begins an investigation. Also involved is Emma Warner (Sarah Lafleur), a Fish and Wildlife officer who is Riley's ex-girlfriend. It's not long before the crocodiles strike again, destroying the Sheriff's boat, and forcing the party to swim for their lives. Adding some color to the proceedings is the presence of Struthers (Sam McMurray), a hunter with questionable ethics, and his assistant Ahmad (Joe Holt). Struthers has plans to bag a croc, but he seems to be better at shooting off his mouth, than his hunting rifle. Also in the woods is Riley's son Scott (Chad Collins), and a group of teenagers who have their partying interrupted by the hungry crocs.
Lake Placid 2's weak script, bad dialog, and uninspiring special effects, makes it hard for anyone to look good, and John Schneider's laid back approach often giving the impression that he is barely awake. Like many films of this type, the actors often appear silly interacting with CGI creatures, as people get chomped up, limbs are severed, and bullets have no effect. Familiar ground for those acquainted with Sy Fy productions, but even graded on a curve, this one is average at best, with the kills and sharp tongued Sadie Bickerman the main source of entertainment value. Sy Fy followed this with yet another sequel, Lake Placid 3 (Unrated) (2010) that takes the series to a new low. If you are really interested, you can often find these films listed on Sy Fy's schedule on their "creature feature" days.
