Komodo

Summary: Move over Andaconda
Review: This has got to be one of the best horror movies since Critters. In Komodo some Komdo dragon eggs are dumped on an island by an oil company. Unfortunately the eggs hatch. The environment is posioned by drilling.

20 year later a family moves into the island. That night the Komodos attack and devour all the family except for the on boy. The boy is terrified.

A local pyschologist wanting to cure the boy takes him back to the island. The killings begin again. If you like this movie I recomend Andaconda, Pyhon, Phyon 2 and Anadacondas, Crocodile, Crodile 2, Alligator, Alligator 2 the Mutation, Boa, King Cobra, Python VS Boa and Curse of the Komodo.

Summary: A bit more fixing and it'll be PERFECT!
Review: "Komodo" is (obviously) a movie about a bunch of komodos running around on an island. The beginning of the story is very interesting. It sort of explains how the komodos actually got to the island. It's quite logical....but a bit unbelievable at some times. Well, dumping komodo eggs might be a good reason for them to begin existing there. But, how are the komodo fledglings supposed to survive, especially on an island that isn't compatible to them? Well, I'm sure there's a good reason.

Well, the storyline is interesting and can make you forget what's going on around you. Although, the idea of "traumatized" might have been overlooked. Patrick Conally (Kevin Zegers), apparently, lost his family to the komodos and is supposed to be "traumatized". Of course he looked traumatized in the photo at the police department, but he seems to be brave and healthy enough to run around freely at the island where his family was killed. Besides, he survived the island(the second time he arrived there) without any weapons and the others have a lot of trouble even with huge guns!

Plus! The ending seems to be a bit.....abrupt They got off the island on a helicopter, got back at the harbour, sits down on a pavement and that's it! Although I think the idea was to show that Patrick's gotten better:
Police : you guys okay?
Patrick : ...Never better...

Well, even though I made more comments about this movie than compliments, I still say that this movie is absolutely great! I don't know why....Well, for those who already watched this movie, think the flaws over a few dozen times and it'll make sense.....eventually.....

Summary: Cheesy Good Time With Some Nifty Lizards
Review: "Komodo" is an enjoyably silly, occasionally creepy thriller. The premise of a bunch of Komodo dragons (the world's largest lizards, and very nasty beasties in real life) living on an island off South Carolina is preposterous, and the script and acting never rise above the standard for this kind of thing, but the lizards are impressive and worth checking out for fans of movie monsters. It's basically an old-fashioned "giant animal" b-movie (a la "Them" or "Black Scorpion") with slightly more believable monsters, some nice effects work and a splash of gore here and there. Not a great movie by any means, but then it doesn't try to be. Have a few beers, chuckle along with the stiff dialogue, enjoy a scare or two, and cheer on the dragons! (For anyone interested in a fascinating take on the real Komodo dragons that manages to be both scary and quite funny, I heartily recommend the book "Last Chance to See" by Douglas Adams.)

Summary: surprisingly entertaining nature out for blood movie
Review: Caught Komodo a few nights ago on USA and was pleasantly surprised at how good the movie was. Nineteen years after a oil company discarded a bunch of komodo eggs they grow mutant size and brutally kill the parents of a teenage boy, sending him into a psychological meltdown. When a child psychologist steps in and wants to take him back to the murder site for therapy, that's when the fun begins. The special effects were better than Anaconda's and the acting was shockingly real-especially from Zegers as the tortured teen and Hennessy as his caring shrink. The thrills are more than a few, too. You could do much much worse.

Summary: NOT another Anaconda!
Review: Finally, a scary animal flick that actually makes sense. I mean, look at Anaconda; first of all, snakes 30 feet long don't hop through the air, or even HOWL for crying out loud. Perfect and simple plot: True, real life carnivores who are just hungry, and a little mutated. It's just nature. haha However, a good flick who's previews made me jump. Look for Komodo REAL soon for rent.

Summary: One of my favorite movies...
Review: First off, this was a great Komodo movie. Having been the makers of Anaconda and the director and special effects maker of Jurassic Park, I wasn't surprised how good this movie turned out. My mother's seen it, my friend, and my brother, including myself and they all like it. A lot. So if you're going to see an animal attack movie, see this one!

Summary: Great Movie, If you just want to sit back and enjoy a movie
Review: From all the reviews here, I thought Komodo would be crap, but I also felt that alot of people here don't know what they are talking about. Most of the people who gave this movie a bad grade didn't even enjoy the movie because they automaticly assumed it would be crap before they popped into the VCR. This is actually a great movie if you just want to take your mind off things and watch a movie with great effects, although we could have done without the "Nature Boy" scenario.

Summary: Scaly and smelly
Review: How anyone could have actually enjoyed this film is beyond me, and I'm one of the easily amused lamers who thought Lake Placid was a good movie. Aside from the special effects, there is nothing here. Fake, stereotypical characters made even more intolerable by some of the most horrendous acting I've seen outside of Seventh Heaven stumble through a plot that would insult the intelligence of a retarded howler monkey. It's a shame, too, because real life Komodo Dragons trully are some of the scariest predators around. The fact that there's not a single effectively tense scene in the entire film, then, is even more proof that whatever team collaborated to shove out this piece of garbage should never do so again.
