Are crocodiles really easy villains for Low Budget, Straight to video, Horror movies? I mean seriously how many have we gotten in the past decade? Well anyways, on to the review. Let's start with the positive elements.........................I got nothing. How sad.

Now onto the negative elements. The characters in this movie are shockingly, horrifyingly, unbelievably forgettable, bricks are more interesting. The story itself is contrived, poorly written, poorly acted, and just down right boring. The special effects are bad, though to be fair I'd be lying if I said I thought that wouldn't be so.

Overall, this is a very boring movie. It's poorly written and poorly executed. So stay away.

SUPERCROC is a crock full. The Asylum presents a film so bad it is not even fun to laugh at. Even if shot in black & white, this thing could not compare to the worst 1950's B horror flick. Obvious low budget, lame script and bad over-acting. A 50-foot-long crocodile emerges from a river near Los Angeles. A so-called elite squad of five or so soldiers are 'hiking', while two are jabbering back and forth about their up coming wedding; the mission being what? Before all but one(Cynthia Rose Hall) is gobbled up by the Supercroc, three-foot-long eggs are found in open view. The military is totally baffled on how to stop this giant menace before it reaches Oxnard. Of course, there just happens to be a "croc" expert(Kim Little)right there at command center to advise the military. This movie insults even the intelligence challenged.

This might not be a really good review, but a movie this bad shouldn't get one..

Worst and slowest start EVER.. It's so slow, you listen to a military girl and man, who obviously SHOULDN'T have been in the military.. They are talking under a mission, where they clearly should shut up.. This goes on for 6-7 minutes and you're almost sleeping, right up until the crappy special effects kicks in and the sergeant freezes up and screams the name of the first dead guy, instead of shooting the damn croc.. I'm talking about really crappy effects, the discovery channel When Dinosaurs Walked, they were better made than this.. It's really bad.. And blurring out the croc, when it's in the frame doesn't make it more believable.. You don't get any storyline in it.. You start off with those soldiers and that's it.. And the Serge. who's supposed to be the toughest of all, gets in contact with the croc, he doesn't even shoot.. He sees it, falls back, CUT scene, let the audience think of some gruesome death in their heads.. The amount of shots fired in this movie is also incredible.. They could kill every animal in the world with that many shots.. The smalltalk and problems between soldiers are also low-standard.. You never feel for any of the characters, at all, when someone's about to die it's not like "no, she's shouldn't die!" it's more like "noo, don't show me more of the croc!" You don't even see the croc die.. :'(

I even suspect the movie of using some game voices.. Death cries and screams..

Don't even rent this movie..

This movie is the "Robot Monster" of the 20th century, except not as funny. The special effects in the scene where the crocodile jumps up and attacks the helicopter are absolutely the worst CGI I have ever seen! The crocodile's first scene makes it look like a giant floating turd or a piece of cardboard.

Also, the movie has the traditional bad-B-movie "scientist" who knows nothing about her field. In this one, the "scientist" lady makes a bunch of totally incorrect comments. She keeps referring to the croc as an "archosaur" as if that was a specific kind of prehistoric crocodile. It's really the group that includes all crocodiles, dinosaurs, and probably birds. She also says that its plating is so thick that it can't be hurt by "modern bullets". Have these paleontologists actually tested prehistoric species for bullet-proof-ness? Also, just HOW does a 100-foot crocodile weigh "ten thousand tons?" A 100-foot Blue Whale is a little under 200 tons!

Even worse, the only reason the crocodile doesn't get bombed from the air is that it keeps disappearing. The military can't find a 100-foot crocodile in the area around Los Angeles? I didn't know there were that many vast wildernesses there, or that a whale-sized crocodile was so good at hiding (on land, no less!)

Finally, for a monster movie, there isn't nearly enough action. I like mindless action movies, but this is kind of boring. All the inaccuracies and dumbnesses, maybe even the horrid special effects, could be forgiven if it was at least exciting - but no! It isn't even a good "mindless action movie". The only real "action" scene is right at the end when the croc gets blown up.

Turned it off after 20 minutes. I watch all types of movies and the only other one I turned off was "Grand Opening." Truly horrible viewing. Low budget. Bad acting. The first scene in the command center shows that the crew must have had only one microphone to share among them. The audio was horrible. The opening segment was too long showing a group of army folks just walking through the woods with no apparent purpose in mind. The viewer has no clue what's going on except for remembering what the title of the movie is. Then the beastie finally pops-up and that's when the movie should end. It did for me about five minutes later. Do not spend your time or money on this movie. I think a root canal or having dinner with an IRS auditor would be more fun.

This movie is boring, bad audio, effects, cgi, acting, plot, storyline, and music. The music is copied from other 'asylum' films. i only watched it for the crocodile eating up the people. I kept having to fast-forward ten minutes of the movie every five minutes. Thus, making it only 40-50 minutes to watch it. I didn't think this should have ever been made. it deserves to be in garbage cans. The tag line should be 'Now available in other peoples garbage cans because this movie is idiotic and a complete waste of time.' because that is absolutely true in every way imagined. 2/10 stars. It is a very great way to waste 90 minutes of your life!!! Do not watch this no matter what the circumstances may be!

Perhaps the poorest film I've seen from The Asylum. Poor in plot (predictable) and acting (amateurish) and CGI effects (juvenile) and particularly in cinematography. It looks shot through a yellowish filter that gives the movie a sickly and garish look that is most unattractive. If it was a style choice it was totally unwise. It makes the whole film look like a flashback sequence even though it isn't. The ending hinted at a sequel! Am not one to automatically have a downer on The Asylum just because they are low budget and opportunist film makers but 'Supercroc' lacks any kind of bite.

********** Warning!!!! Here Be Spoilers!!!!! *****************

My wife and I really are into Creature movies like SuperCroc. When we also saw that this one was from Asylum films, we knew we were in for a treat! We were not disappointed. This film was so horrid it wound up being entertaining. Let's analyze this to see just how it succeeds so well in its badness.

Camera work: I swear this thing must have been filmed using a cheap video camera and the sound must have been recorded that way as well. There was the usual bouncy, jerky movement to try to stimulate some kind of excitement. When will Asylum give up that technique? It's really old.

Sound Mix/Subtitles: Asylum is one of those chintzy companies that never does subtitles. It's too bad, because the sound recording is so terrible you really need subtitles to pick up any dialogue. Just to insure that the dialogue is inaudible, the background score just blasts away as if it is being played back on a Boom Box and recorded along with everything else. Fortunately, most Creature Features don't rely on the dialogue to move the story along. That's just as well, because this flick had no dialogue worth mentioning, mainly because there was not a lot of plot to explain.

Plot: Plot, what plot? We open up with a squad of soldiers in a national park area. What are they doing there? We are never really told. The dialogue consists of plans for the upcoming wedding of two of them. This is before our Feature Creature makes her debut in one of the most badly done mixing of CGI with film that I have ever seen. Instead of rising gradually out of the water, the Croc just appears in the background as if the background is a scrim and it is being ripped open to reveal --- Crocodile!!!! Back at the Command Post, there is a character who is some kind of expert on crocodiles (although most of the factoids she blurts out are full of inaccuracies and distortions) - the real croc expert seems to be the female private introduced in the first scene. The advisor's character also seems to have an ulterior motive regarding the eggs, but it was never really explained and somehow the President seems to be involved, but that was never explained either. Fortunately she gets her just rewards. The Creature's origins are never explained it just gets killed after chewing up a lot of people, scenery and equipment. The only person with any sense, it seems, is the lowly female private, introduced in the opening shots. Somehow, she knows a lot about crocodiles from growing up wherever she grew up. She manages to help kill the critter at the end and lives to tell about it.

Acting: mostly bad, but campy.

Directing: this thing had a director? Who knew?

CGI: pretty lame. None of it blended very well with the rest of the film. Quite a bit was blurry and the effects were not very realistic.

Editing: stock footage obtained from the military was obviously used, but to little effect because it really added nothing to the story. I normally do not comment on film editing, but this was so amateurish, I could not help but notice. This added to the overall comedic effect.

All in all, such an incredibly dreadful combination that it was hilarious to watch. Definitely a must for those Rotten Movie Connoisseurs out there!
