Summary: This movie is good, Go and See It.
Review: I think both kids and adults will enjoy this movie as Steve and Teri Irwin show how much they care about and save the lives of various animals, from Kangaroos to Crocodiles, and we even have a spy plot about the CIA wanting to recover a satilite that has crashed in Austraila and is eaten by a Croc, which Steve and Teri save from a gun-ho happy ranger. This is the first movie made by MGM that I have enjoyed in several years, and it beats most of the other big joke movies currently in theaters.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: By Crikey - What A Beauty!
Review: An excellent FAMILY movie. Take the kids and grandma!

A must see for any animal lover. It is amazing to watch the film and realize that all those deadly animals are real. That's a REAL poisonous snake trying to take a bite out of Steve-O!

Action, comedy, crocs - you'll love it. If you are a fan of the shows, be on the lookout for Wes. Steve gives it 110%, just like in his series.

A good laugh, an important message and appropriate for the whole family. And Holy Sugar, some close calls!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A movie without a Plot
Review: For a Discovery Channel 1/2 hour special this movie filled the bill, but for entertainment this selection missed the target. It was tough to decifer who the good guys were from the bad guys. Was the plot conservation of animals or some weak story line about U. S. government security. My suggestion is to wait until this comes to video and rent it... Spend your money more wisely like on popcorn.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Have a look at this!
Review: Here is a movie that both adults and children can enjoy and even learn from. To some degree, the Crocodile Hunter movie is much like the Crocodile Hunter television series--Steve and Terri personally introduce us to some of the most misunderstood, wildly beautiful animals on the planet--crocodiles, venomous snakes, monstrous spiders, etc. The Irwins are basically in the middle of one of their typical outings into nature, rescuing an orphaned little kangaroo, getting snakes off the road and away from the danger of vehicles, and rescuing wild crocodiles who have come into too close contact with humans (actually, it is humans who have invaded crocodile territory). Interspersed throughout all this, though, the plot of this movie is developed. A very important little piece of spyware has been lost from an orbiting satellite over Queensland, Australia. Two competing factions within the CIA (who would have thunk it?) dispatch agents to recover the information at any cost. Meanwhile, a very disagreeable old woman in the Outback is trying to kill the crocodile threatening her cows; as fate would have it, this particular crocodile has swallowed the spyware the U.S. agents are after. Luckily, the Irwins come along and rescue the crocodile before the old lady can kill him. When they find the agents suddenly on their tail, they believe them to be poachers, and they go to great pains to ensure the safety of the long-suffering crocodile by transplanting him into another river system. The funniest part of the movie, in my opinion, was the conclusions drawn by the CIA about Steve Irwin. Citing the facts that Irwin had been in South America at the time of two coups, in Kenya at the time of the embassy bombing, and in East Timor soon after its civil war, they consider him to be some kind of dangerous criminal element.

I hope people won't interpret the making of this movie as an attempt by Steve Irwin to go Hollywood. The only reason the Irwins made this movie was to further increase awareness about the beauty of nature's wild creatures and to encourage any and all efforts at conservation of wildlife. This movie especially highlighted the dangers poachers continue to present for wildlife everywhere. Any fan of the TV series will certainly enjoy this movie as much as I did, and most likely some new Crocodile Hunters fans will be brought into the fold. This is certainly a movie parents will have no qualms about letting their children see, as it is more than appropriate for all audiences. The animals are quite real here, and there were quite real dangers involved in making this movie. As such, it is as educational as it is entertaining. The ending is a little weird, but enjoyably so; it is the message and not the plot that is important here. This isn't about Steve Irwin getting rich and famous; it is about saving the animals we share the planet with.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Steve Irwin Can Fight Crocs, But Not The Bad Reviews
Review: The Crocodile Hunter, the movie!?! When I first heard of this idea, I was not really interested. Oh, I had seen, as I'm pretty sure that you all had, his various shows on TV. Nice part about them is you could flip the channel when Steve got annoying.

I was selected for a preview of this movie. And I would have to give it 3 stars. I know that the hard-core fans will yell at me and the haters of this flick with screw me too, but it's an okay movie.

Here is what I mean by okay: First, Steve hasn't received any acting lessons for the flick so it's just pure old hunter from the show. Second, the plot is thin, spy satelites crashes in Australia, governments trying to get them and Steve doing whatever he can to try and screw with them. Thrid, this is like the TV show with James Bond thrown in.

But enough critics, this is still a decent flick. I feel that where it falls is that it doesn't have wide audience appeal. You know Steve and what he does and if you didn't like the show, you're not going to see the movie. On the other hand, Steve is pretty funny and the work he does in real life (not just molesting animals) setting up zoos and relocating animals so they aren't killed is important.

This movie will rake in a few bucks along with the bad reviews, but on the whole, if you love Steve and his work, go see The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course. If you don't, there a new Halloween flick out.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Steve Fights Back!
Review: A friend invited me to the sneak preview of the Crocodile Hunter Movie. I have watched Steve and Terri Irwin for years and jumped at a chance to see it before anyone else. Those of you who love the Crocodile Hunter on TV will like it as much as. Those of you who find Steve Irwin annoying, will find him moreso,since he uses his famous catch phrases often! Granted, a lot of the scenes are taken from their past experiences, like finding the orphaned joey kangaroo, but there are plot scenes that may tickle your fancy. An inside joke I noticed off the bat was a rather large and...extreme woman who played a farmer. Her husband died a few years earlier, and when one of the agents goes into the home, you see on the hearth a photo of her and her hesband, who happens to be Wes Manion, Steve's best mate! There were a couple more jokes at her expense that I will leave to the pleasure of the viewer. About the only thing I had difficulty with was the beginning, when the information probe fell to earth, only to be eaten by the crocodile (the whole reason to the movie. When it hit the ground, it hardly displaced any dirt, and the croc swallowed it down within seconds of the landing. I would expect something to land from outer space to at least make a crater, and be so hot as to not be able to handle it. But this is Hollywood! What amazed me was the fact that what we were watching was real...real crocodiles, snakes, spiders, the whole bit. And of course Sui stole the show by just being Sui. All around I found it a stack of fun! I look forward to seeing it again just to see those sneaky agents get their comeuppance!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Crickey Mate.
Review: Have you ever seen a suicidal nutcase with no will to live? If not you must not have the Animal Planet channel. Steve Irwin is the Crocodile Hunter and he has as serious death wish. This gung-ho nut will go to any length to rescue an animal most people would pay to be killed but you got to respect that. Anyway they look to make a movie that will be hosted by the croc hunter.

The deal is a spy satilite crashes, a croc eats it and now Steve wants to rescue the croc before the CIA gets a chance to kill it.

I think it is sort of worth it to see this guy say "Crickey" when a 30 foot lizard is trying to eat him. Thats kind of funny. I like action comedies and just because the croc hunter is so funny I mean he is always this close to death but he always laughs it off and where I would want to shoot the animal that almost killed me but he just wants to save it and that what this movie is all about.

10 to 1 this movie will be a flop but if it does make any money the producer doesn't need a big cut since its produced by none other then Bruce Willis. Don't look for the croc hunter to become the next Detective Mclane but don't look for this movie to bomb like Hudson Hawk (if you don't know what I'm talking about type it in and you'll see the one Willis movie you never heard of but its not that bad). Like the Hudson Hawk look for this to be mediocre and will probably open in the ten spot in the top ten.

Its not that bad but its not that good. If the kids are bugging you because they have alreay seen Lilo and Stich and Like Mike I say give it a shot. If you are a fan of the series or you just want to get out of the heat, eat some popcorn, and watch your fellow man almost get killed for two hours I say go for it. BUT if you wan an adult movie you can talk about three words:
ROAD
TO
PERDITION!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Steve 'N' Terri To The Rescue!
Review: Steve and Terri Irwin get caught up in an international incident after a croc' there trying to save eats a renegade satellite. Bungling agents are dispatched to retrieve the object, and are taught a good ol' fashioned Steve-O lesson in the process! A gun-totin' lady cattlerancher and her pack of vicious dogs add even more fun to the mix! Humorous and educational, with enough action to keep things hoppin' like a kangaroo in a briar patch! Great sequences with Steve 'n' Terri doing what they do best make this an all around great family croc-hunter fiesta! Highly recommended...
