I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Highly Overrated But Still Good
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
When a series of strange disappearances has him concerned, a local wildlife officer finds that they are the cause of a group of monstrous crocodiles his son has found and kept for years, and must save the locals in the area from the savage animals.For the most part this one was quite an exciting and enjoyable effort. One of the more impressive features here is the fact that this one goes for the most action in the whole series, which manages to get plenty of impressive scenes that come with the standard situations found in these films. The opening attack is quite suspenseful with the growling interrupting the sex before the brutal water attacks, the first encounter with the adult crocs in the forest, a later scene where the crocs approach the house while he's with a babysitter and the numerous amounts of attacks on the water all come off nicely enough, yet there's even more to like here from the longer action scenes. The ambush on the campers in the woods, from it stalking the girls before attacking and leading to the water ambush during their escape as it flips the boat and begins chomping on them for a great sequence, the sheriff having a tense encounter underwater with one and the first highlight battle in the escape attempt from the house which has the action from the race to get the car started while the crocs attack leading to all sorts of fun trying to get them out, a final house assault with the trapped residents holding off the creatures and finally using some ingenuity to escape all come off as extended, thrilling action scenes. Still, the finale in the supermarket is the best with a lot of successful barricading, lots of action as they chase the group throughout the aisles and force plenty of enjoyable times going after the group which is where this all score as the action rather nicely for a spectacular finale which has a lot to like. As well, there's plenty of great kills and a unique plot that evokes a lot of the original's storyline which really helps overcome the few flaws here. One of the only ones in here is the few questionable parts of the story that don't make much sense. That they're considered bad parents by the majority of the townspeople seems a little excessive considering their reputation and really makes no sense to be included, and the storyline about having gone for several years without even telling their parents about the creatures right outside their house makes no sense for the kids come off incredibly bad over that fact. The other flaw here is the rather lame CGI, as this run afoul of all the usual flaws with that as they range from shoddy, pixilated execution to barely fitting in with the rest of the action and changing sizes constantly. Otherwise, this was a highly enjoyable offering with a lot to like about it.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Nudity and Language.
My God, a third one. At least this one is a TV movie. Colin Ferguson of "Eureka" plays a game warden who moves his family to Lake Placid. His son comes across baby crocs and begins feeding them. Before you know it, they have grown quite large and eat a poodle and then lots of people. Two crocs lay siege to the warden's home and its man versus supercrocs. Ferguson, who is so likable on "Eureka,' here is a cardboard cutout, as are Michael Ironside as a sheriff and Yancy Butler as a game hunter. The crocs are the usual SyFy Channel bad CGI. Some halfway decent gore, but no cigar for this absolutely unnecessary sequel. Shot in Bulgaria!
I give the movie a 5, simply because of acting and the storyline. The acting is very well done. The special effects are what detracts from the overall experience, however, there are small occasions where they are decent, nothing Mr. Spielberg or J.J. Abrams would have though. All the women in the movie are easy on the eyes. Me, personally, I have always had a thing for Yancy Butler, something about those eyes, they are so captivating.A spoiler follows: It is left open at the end for a Lake Placid 4, so, hopefully someone will re-vamp it and throw more money to it to get it to rate a 7(or higher) in my book.
Wow, this is bad. The only thing entertaining about this movie are the IMDb reviews. What is it about the kid that makes you wish for him to be devoured by the plastic crocodiles? Actually the cast is not half bad, but the special effects are just so awful that it distracts you from the content. Well, that might actually be a good thing. My mother might actually enjoy this, since the scenes just go on and on and you cannot miss any turn of events by popping out to the fridge. The crocs are still there. Yep. They are still there.Making movies is not easy and I am not saying that my croc movie would be any better, but in some weird way the best purpose for this movie is to use it as an ego boost. I cannot possible be this bad at my job - can I?
