Summary: OK movie...but doesn't make the cut
Review: Some decent-for-a-direct-to-video effects don't really make for the fact that the storyline...and pretty much whole script in general...just flat out fails to deliver.The effects really are hit-and-miss. The CG croc isn't all that bad, and the models they use are well done. The chopping scenes are cool too, but when the croc holds their victims in its mouth beforehand it comes out looking campy - it looks like a ride at Universal Studios the way the mechanical head bobs up and down. By the way, why does the croc always manage to catch people so that they lie perfectly straight in its mouth? Does any one else notice that? The helicopter explosion at the end was poorly done too - I mean come on, who can't tell that's a toy chopper? The storyline starts out OK (albeit the awful shoot-out, which was perfectly described by Chadwick Saxelid in their reviewr below) but eventually suffers simply because its too cliche. A group of people are stranded in the middle of no where (a passenger plane crashes in a swamp), and as usual there are baddies along to take charge (how'd they get guns past the metal detectors?). The croc picks off passenger and baddie one by one. Some essense is added when the boyfriend of a stewardess on the plane tries to rescue her with the help of a local American pilot (the only real likable, or competant, character in the film). They land their chopper and go looking for the gang and meet up with them. The croc corners them all in a warehouse. I would like to dub this house the "Drop Off" because for some reason people have a habit of FALLING OFF THE EDGE in this freaking place. I can't explain this phenomenon, but five or six times the characters fall off higher levels into the water below, one time being right after they just rescued a character that had already fallen off the edge. The ending of the movie makes the past hour and a half pretty much a waste of your time. The boyfriend, stewardess, pilot, and head baddy reach the chopper and - huzzah, the pilot turns on the hero and heroine and takes the baddy away instead. Then in flight he turns on the baddy and kills him using the worst catch line of all: "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." (whoever wrote that line in needs to be shot) It is revealed that he only did that to pick off the last baddy and is now heading back to pick up his friends... ...then huzzah, the croc (who we all thought was dead) leaps out of the water and pulls the chopper into the water where it explodes. Don't worry about the last two characters, they find a destroyed raft nearby...and it's INFLATABLE...and it STILL WORKS...and it has a MOTOR...and it HAS A LOT OF GAS! In fact it has so much gas when the croc attacks they just pour it into the water and light in on fire with a lighter that...came from...elves..... So yeah, I wouldn't watch this unless you're in the mood. Watch it late on Saturday nights on the Sci-Fi Channel or some thing...

Summary: WHAT A CROC!
Review: This is one of the worst movies I have even seen. It is so bad it cannot even, somewhere down the line , qualify as a cult classic. I will be eternally grateful to one reviewer who went into great lengths to describe the plot and characters of this horrid flik, thereby saving me from having to write a long review. By now you know the details. Airplane crsh into Mexican swamp. Predictable bad-guy bank robbers terrorize passemgers on plane. Crash into swamp, which doesnt look like any swamp I've ever been in. The aerial images depict a marsh, not a swamp, and the vegetation is all wrong; and there is not a single sound of critters in the night. One of the passengers is the girlfriend of the heroic boyfriend ; nobly, he hires a heroic navy Seal to find her; the choice of aircraft, helicopter, is veryquestionable given the expanse of this terrain; and where are the other recuers? Naturally, the seal and the hero almost immediately meet up with the baddies and the passengers. Previously, one of the baddies had shot Flathead Jr. and now MOTHER Crocodile is indiscriminately picking off the bad guys and a few good guys. The rest of the flik concerns the baddies trying to get out with the good guys with foreseeable results. Just about everyone dies at the jaws of FLATTRUCK, or is it FLATHEAD? -- the Seal survives and the chief villain does too;but both perish in the helicopter crash at the jaws of the croc; exceedingly improbable. The hero and heroine take off in an immaculate zodiac! but Flat is close behind. One of the most ludicrous scenes is the heroine trying to light a lighter so she can set mother on fire. Predictably the lighter won't catch until the very last moment, when for some inexplicable reason heroine regards the flame for a moment! At tis point I was rooting for Flathead. Had flathead gotten 'em, I would have given the movie another star.. A few other reasons I might have given the movie another star: 1) The subtititle;if it was was "deathroll"; there is no such thing as a "death" swamp.
2) Had the heroine had revealing, soaking clothes on m ost of the movie.
3)Had one of the guy passengers ever loosened his tie.
4)Had someone died in a way other than gunshot or at the jawsof FLATCRANIUM. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Summary: Crocodile 2 Death Swamp
Review: This movie could have been better. It does have some good crocodile shots and it is very gory. I wish those bad guys wouldn't swear so much. ...Not much to say about this one. I was a little disapointed.
