Lake Placid (Widescreen Edition)

Summary: just read the review
Review: This movie is complete trash. Don't go out of you way at all to see this. There is nothing entertaining in it except maybe a couple of interesting scenes containing gore. One scene the aligator jumps along the side of the boat. When the water settles you see the deputy has no head anymore, it was cleanly taken of at the neck. I gave it two stars only because it had decent visuals. Do not see this. If you want to see a horror mutant animal movie go see Deep Blue Sea or ANY others, just not this piece of garbage. Let's see if this review pisses any lake placid fan off.

Summary: Tongue seriously in cheek, chuckle a minute laugh riot of 99
Review: Fonda has never been better, absoltuly poker faced while delivering the sharpest lines in any movie this year. The sarcasm and wit bite much harder then the giant croc and the laughs keep piling up. If you are looking for a scare, dont even begin to bother with this, if however you are into a sort of parody of the typical Jaws rip off......with a cracklingly funny script - this is absolutely it. Not only that, but it has a great attitude with the monster not being shot to smithereens but sent to recover in a reserve somewhere! and to end with Bob Marley's Is this Love, well that's just the icing on a thoroughly enjoyable cake. Absolutely essential for the jaded horror movie fan and those who like their horror with more then a little doseage of wit. Sterling stuff........forget Austin Powers and that creep Mini Me THIS is the funniest film of the year by a mile!

Summary: Not Jaws but........
Review: Lake Placid will never be Jaws, but then what can top an original? I enjoyed this movie, if only for Betty White. The FX were excellent, story fair, but Ms. White's character stole the show. I'm sure she wasen't the only one rooting for the Crocodile!

Summary: O.K Back up here.
Review: Okey Doke. I'd just like to start off saying that I liked pretty much every jaws rip off, but lake placid just doesn't click. last summer, i was pysched about two movies, lake placid and deep blue sea. I saw deep blue sea before lake placid and whammo. how awesome. Then I found that lake placid was pretty lame. The acting was so-so, but the special effects were WAY overdone. What sense is there building a huge croc for only 30 seconds of screen time? I also thought the laughs were cheap and vague. I dunno, it was pretty bad, but you can enjoy it if you don't take it too seriously

Summary: That's One BIG CROC!
Review: Lake Placid was great, it is alot like Jaws only they got all of the facts right. I mean they never screwed up, crocodiles really can get that big, but the one thing that stumped me was how an Asianic crocodile could be found in Maine. My favorite part of the movie is when the croc takes out a GRIZZLY BEAR in like 5 seconds it was really cool. Also don't let the R of this movie scare you its really the language - not the gore . A great movie overall

Summary: Finally!
Review: Finally a Jaws copy worth watching.This movie was exelent.The begining will make you jump 50 ft out of your chair. This movie is filled to the gills with humor and laughs.Ever since I first saw the sneak preveiw in May1999 I fell in love. I'm a H U G E Jaws fan and this comes very very close to it.It delivers Exellent performances from Bill Pullman,Bridget Fonda,Betty White and Oliver Platt.Oliver platt and Betty White have some pretty funny lines.

Summary: CAN I GIVE 10 STARS ?
Review: I Saw This Movie In The Theater, It Was One Of The Best Movies, I`ve Ever Seen In My Entire Life. Very Scary....You Will Jump, The Plot Is Great, And The "old woman" Is Hilarious, I Wouldn`t Even Rent It First, Go Ahead And Buy It, www.amazon.com Rulez. And Don`t Forget To Rent/Buy Deep Blue Sea, In December.....It Was Also An Extremely Good Horror Movie, Nothing Funny About A Shark That Tears Up People Faster Than You Can Blink Your Eyes.

Summary: Has a few thrills, but mostly laughter
Review: The whole movie, I just wished to see the Crocidile Hunter,from Animal Planet/Discovery Channel, pop up and defend the poor beast, but alas, Steve never came through. Apart from that, I really enjoyed it. I was expecting to see a B-movie, but it was enjoyable. A bit jumpy, but mostly funny. Betty White was GREAT!!

Rating:
Summary: Steve Miner's best film yet.
Review: This has to have been the funniest film of 1999. Director Steve Miner gives us one of his best films to date, next to "House" anyway. All the performances are credible and Oliver Platt gives the best performance out of everyone. But of course, the crocodile outshines them all. This film is a must for horror fans.

Summary: Very funny and scary- Shouldn't have been rated R!
Review: This is a must see for anyone who loves dangerous animal movies. It's about a 30-foot man-eating Asian crocodile that somehow gets into a Maine lake and continiously preys on humans, as well as any animal that goes in the water, from moose to bears, cows to horses. It should have been rated PG-13 though. It wasn't that scary. But still good.
