It could be me, but I don't think I'm the only one who didn't want to see a serial killer crocodile film starring Orlando Jones.

Killer Croc.........Funny Dumbasses.

Orlando Jones.............Dumbasses.

A serial killing crocodile..............

Jackass wins.

Saw this earlier today. Wasn't too bad... a decent little thriller, nothing more or less. Could have used more of the crocodile though.

Grade - B

I'm not sure if I can give this a grade yet, but I will say that the environment I saw it in made it one of the most entertaining movies I've seen in a long time. They use more of a Jaws approach with the croc, but the scenes it does have are pretty awesome and very gory (think bodies torn into shreds on screen, my favorite part is when we see the croc snap down on someone and cause their head to explode), depending on if you can view it like some late night Spike TV flick. It could have used a bit less Hotel Rwanda bullshit though. I was cracking up when Dominic Purcell gave his stupid speech about how they created the monster, erhm, figuratively speaking. Oh yeah, and the Orlando Jones crocodile chase was so ridiculously goofy that it transcended into another level of awesome.

Now see?? Your review makes me want to go see this late night now.. So do the Croc FX look real and is he really big?? I also heard Orlando Jones gets munched pretty bad??

Yeah, it's solid entertainment for the most part, but it's like half political issues in Africa and stuff. I didn't really expect that. But it's gory and pretty fun.

B-

The entertainment is there but the movie is just sooo bad. The FX's were hidious.

C

D+


So it tries to mix Blood Diamond and Jaws into one film and it pretty much fails on both levels. It's rarely exciting and some of the dialogue is just plain terrible (like the aforementioned speech by Dominic Purcell). Orlando Jones delivers quite a bad and laughable (though not funny) performance in this one, while all the rest never rises above average and generic. The whole African political issues stuff seemed to be in here for no reason. I think they'd have been much better off with a straightforward monster croc film.

Now as for the monster croc parts, the film never works in building tension either. Yeah, the gory deaths are nicely done (though you can obviously see the CGI) and some of the attacks by Gustave are quite intense, but the whole thing is too unrealistic. Yeah, sure, I know I shouldn't be here claiming that a movie like this should be realistic and all, but it annoys me how it claims to be based on "real life"-events and then presents us a crocodile which in no way behaves like any normal crocodile would, who is too fast, too "jumpy" and who kills his victims in a way no usual crocodile would (or could for that matter).

Now I'm realy waiting for Greg McLean's Rogue.

I tries to mix social commentary with animal disaster and fails miserably at both. Also the acting is so very bad in this.
