While the first movie was no masterpiece - it at least TRIED to be entertaining. This Tobe Hooper-less sequel finds a bevy of plane crash survivors who are hunted by killer crocs. I'd go on further, but a self-defense mechanism kicked in (meaning - my brain erased the memory of watching this immediately after completion). Hey, at least I'm honest - which is more than can be said for the producers. There's not even a crocodile in the film! Just the occasional close up of a snout and tail. From the director of the far superior Spiders (the 2001 movie - NOT the remake). This is one of those straight to video titles that helped put Trimark out of business (hence their catalog is now being distributed by Lions Gate).
Right, the plot is as follows: a plane crashes in a swamp after some weird bank robbers kill the pilot to save their loot. A pathetic bunch of survivors then tramps around the swamp with a ludicrously fake-looking croc in pursuit. O-k what's the big deal? The film certainly does not answer the description I had from the video club: "I warn you kid, this film is traumatizing", traumatizingly bad more like it. The acting was awful and the croc looked VERY fake, even faker than in the first Crocodile. But in some bits they used an animatronic crocodile and it looked pretty impressive. As for the characters, I was quite glad when the croc started to use them as chew toys, they were sickeningly pathetic. Well, in all, I say DO NOT watch this movie. If you are looking for real entertainment rent another one.
Where to begin? I thought I was watching a B-movie Thriller after 20 minutes. The opening scene made me think I rent another movie. Then, the whole plane crash scene could've been done in 10 minutes without all the cursing and violent scenes. A Horror movie needs violence but "Horror oriented" not plain violence that isn't common in the genre. Anyways, it took several minutes for the real plot to develop. You know, the big crocodile attacking the survivors of the plane crash. Then, it takes too long before the crocodile appears on screen again and that means that there aren't many death scenes. By the time I stopped caring about the plot, the characters were getting dumber and dumber so the movie got interesting.The ending didn't surprise me or provokea reaction, it seems that it was very rushed. I just wasted 90 minutes of my life in something that I didn't pay for. I mean, this is far from being a low budget Horror flick.The best features about Crocodile 2: -Mia. Heidi is a hot woman, really hot. She has a spectacular body and you can witness at the end where she wears a sexy bikini. I wonder she hasn't starred in more B-flicks. That's it. The worst features: -The non sense dialogs. The cursing is exaggerated. The word "bitch" is probably 50% the whole dialogs in the movie. -The acting. All the actors were terrible! This is probably the worst acted movie from 2002. Special recognition for the guy who gets killed for yelling. The guy provided the worst acting I've recently seen. Memorable scenes include the fake, cheap CGI crocodile jumping about 10 meters and eat a guy who was giving the finger to him. Also, why would the tough black guy have his shirt ripped and reveal ONE nipple through all the movie? You can't get much worse that this movie. Anyways, watch this movie only if you are HUNGRY, really hungry for a B-movie in all the sense of the term. Don't pay for it, don't rent it, just wait until it shows on cable.
Ok, so this movie is no classic is is probably completely unkown as its a B movie, but it is actually a very entertaining film to watch with a bowl of pocorn on a Saturday night. Having not seen the 1st Crocodile movie, I was under the impression i would need to have seen it to understand the plot etc. in this one, but I hav enow seen it and I can tell you they are both complete different movies with different storylines, characters, settings. Nothing from the 1st movie is mentioned in this one. This movie is certainly much better than the 1st one which i felt was a complete waste of time. The plot is not very plausible but again its very entertaing and there are some spectacular shock moments like ones in Deep Blue Sea and Jaws only they are both better.The acting is decent actually even though it tries to be like Pulp Fiction slightly. There are also some decent special effects for a B movie. This movie and the 1st crocodile movie are certainly much better than Spiders and Spiders 2 which are complete crap. But the end product of this movie is a very entertaining ride that should be seen if you want a night in and some pure entertinment. It certainly was for me.Certainly worth a look 8/10
