Summary: Goofy as Hell
Review: I think people who have reviewed this movie miss the genius of it. Its very absurdity is its saving grace. This flick has two moments that make it into my "creatures run amok" hall of fame.

1)The surviving cast members are trolling through the lake when the crocodile BREACHES over their boat. A 30 foot reptile that can barely move for most of the film displays incredible speed and agility for 5 seconds.

2) THe regurgitation. This is almost mythic in concept. Our hero succeds in making the crocodile vomit his recently consumed buddy back to life. I rewound three times.

One sad note. Many of us no doubt remember when "2000" was added as a subtext to movies or products in an effort to make it seem more futuristic. Now that we've entered the new millenium, that catchy turn of the phrase is lost to the ages....Crocodile 2000.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Soggy reptile on the attack movie has its moments.
Review: Just far too few of them. Certainly Tobe Hooper, after years of directing, can do more with a movie to bring it to life than what he did here. I guess not.

Obnoxious 'teen-agers' (some so callous and self-centered you beg for the croc to eat them so the earth will no longer be blighted with their presence) head out for a beer sodden weekend at a lakeside resort. Things take a turn for the worse when they mess with the eggs of a crocodile that's lurking about, one dofus puts an agg in the backpack of another character and momma croc wants it back. The rest of the movie is a fill in the blanks escape from the chasing monster story (at least one character ingested or simply killed during each subsequent attack until the 'battle royal' between the 'romantic leads' and their 'trustworthy comic relief sidekick'). Some of the attacks are a tad exciting, but you really won't care who lives or dies, and Hooper does nothing to inject anything original into the visible narrative. Obviously he didn't care, so why should we?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Come on people this is an AWESOM movie!
Review: Most of you out there know the famous Tobe Hooper directed this. Most of his movies are now clasics and this one should be treated the same!Tobe rased the money for this film by him self and put alot of hard work into it. Don't think that you're buying a low budget film with bad actors and a crappy script because you're not. You're buying a low budget film with great acting and an awesom script! It's about a group of 6 teens on spring break being stalked by a 30 foot mother croc because they took her last egg. One by one each teen is devoured until the final three have to find a way to stop the croc before it's too late. If you are a fan of Tobe Hooper you will love it.

Summary: GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Not as good as Alligator 1 and 2. Some colledge kids out party come across a destroyed nest. One of them takes the one egg that was not destoyed or chunked into the water.

There are followed by the acent Salt water crocodile Flat Dog. She goes on a trail of destuction comp and devouring many people. Including a sherrif and sheriif and a crodile duny want to me who wants revenge on flat dog. There is a lot of gore and violence.

One good explosion near the the end. Problems no scary mencing theme not a lot of fight back. A non dramtic end like Orca were the croodile swim away alive and unharmed with his her baby this time she lives.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: crocodile, it's no lake placid but its a good movie
Review: ok i can't compare this to lake placid, lake placid is simply the best croc movie there is by far. but i thought tobe hooper did a hell of a job on this movie. no big actors but the acting in the movie is pretty darn good and the crocodile isn't half bad as well, makes for a very entertaining movie. sure beats blood surf, the horrible croc movie! if your a creature feature fan then this is a must see.

Summary: CROCODILE RULES!!!!!!
Review: PLOT
CROCODILE is a story of revenge, determination, tragic loss of loved ones, and a mother's love. A group of fun-seeking teens are out driving on Spring Break, they rent a boat at a vacation spot called Lake Sobek, throw a party and have the time of thier lives until the trouble shows up! Instead of Jason Voorhees or Leather-Face, they run into Flat Dog, a 20-foot Nile crocodile! And things get even more exciting when a hunter named Shurkin, an aged misfit living on an alligator farm with his wierd son, gets word from the local lawman, Sheriff Bowman, that a fisherman had found someone's severed head (and other body parts) in the lake and sets out to destroy Flat Dog. Many years ago, Flat Dog killed Shurkin's grandfather and father, when he was just a boy and he had been waiting to even the score with the giant reptile! So, Shurkin teams up with Bowman to track down and destroy the beast that ruined his life!

In other killer croc movies (like LAKE PLACID and BLOOD SURF), you wish that the monster would hurry up and eat the victims alive, but Tobe Hooper's CROCODILE is a bit different: Your rooting for the teens because their just a bunch of teens who are trying to survive the most terrifying experience of their lives (same thing with THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE), you rooting for Flat Dog because her eggs were destroyed, and your rooting for Shurkin because Flat Dog killed his father. So I was rooting for the teens, the croc, AND the hunter, all 3 at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is an awesome movie and is sooooooo underrated. It has a hearty amount of gore in it, but not much nudity (except when that chick moons 2 guys during the beginning credits), and it doesn't need sexuallity to be cool (take that BLOOD SURF)!

OTHER DETAILS
There are gory, suspensful killings, explosions and a cute little pootle (owned by one of the 3 hot chicks). And Shurkin talks about how crocodiles hunt and kill thier victims when the sherriff comes to his gator farm with one of Flat Dog's crushed eggs, so you will get a little education out of it, too! HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS UNDERRATED MASTERPIECE?!

Tobe Hooper should have won an award for this one, because Flat-Dog demenstrates the power of mother's love and concern for her young.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Princess Steals the Show
Review: The real star of this show is Princess. Each time my family watches this film, we all wait for Princess to jump through the croc's mouth. Glad to see she doesn't become a Crock snack!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: dumb stupid and mindless
Review: the worst movie ever dome i love reptile movies and bought lots that i didnt like but i did anyway like lake placid/deep blue sea/but this one is just plain stupid bad gore the part where the crocodile eats both the cops andthe part where the crocodile eats the girl who ran out of the bathroom was the worst.the only good part is when the man is eaten on the side of the lake and where the crocodile swallows the guy even tough they cant do that. dome movie tagline get swallowed whole.
