Ok, where to begin... I watched this movie a couple of weeks go after a fairly interesting documentary about crocodiles, and i assumed that the film they were shownig after, also named Crocodile, which would also be interesting and entertaining.
God I was wrong.
Somehow i managed to watch it to the end, but not without noticing all the bad things about this movie and not being able to find anything good at all.
This film lacked any basic storyline, and had a cast with a braincell between them. It had awful CGI, a crocodile which made the first Jaws look like a living creature and blood which reminded me of ketchup. It tries to incoperate a suspense feeling, but fails. Its plot seems very weak and sketchy and is very very predictable. The characters are morons, they prefer to stand screaming at this twenty foot croc rather than running and lean over the sides of boats to get a glimps of the beast. I felt the characters to be very annoying and it dissapointed me when three of them survived at the end. Also, some charcters seemed to be killed off for no particular reason, and their role in the film seemed pointless (ie Old & Young hillbilly). On another point, that girl with the egg in her bag, wouldn't the croc get her first as she had the egg??? and if their boat sank with all their stuff on it, how did she get her bag off???
Finally, the ending was the worst i've ever seen. They get referring to the creepy abandoned hotel, but they never went to it.
I think, and email me if you agree, a better ending to a crud film would be if the surviving teenagers had sort refuge in the hotel, with the croc following and they then kill it in the hotel where the croc had first come from. Then the hotel collapses/explodes/beams up into space, whatever while the kids watch from a distance. Much better.
So, in conclusion, this movie is very poor, even worse than LOOK WHO'S TALKING NOW. :-(
