Best movie of this year hands down!

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This was pretty bad. The crocodile isn't even seen until near the end. It was not even seen enough after that. It is slightly worse than the first film due to a lack of nudity and a tone that was too serious. The effects are generally alright but in places good and other places bad. Basically a slow and pretty silly b-movie horror. Only for tatty horror fans.

While Tobe Hooper's Crocodile (2000) was very much a poor relation his Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), in both a bunch of teens in the middle of nowhere encounter a deadly local threat, the sequel is more akin to the likes of Anaconda (1997), with a mature cast and the added presence of a human threat. This time instead of partying youths, the protagonists are bank robbers and hostages. During a storm the desperate criminals hijack their flight to Acapulco and it crashes as a result. Exploiting weaknesses in airport security, pre-9/11, the thieves had been able to smuggle aboard weapons with laughable ease. Stranded in a Mexican swamp, the thieves hold fellow survivors captive as they attempt to make their journey to safety with their loot. Unfortunately they have landed in the feeding ground of a ridiculously large crocodile. As they are eaten one by one, a plucky young heroine attempts to overcome the human and reptile threat to be united with her boyfriend. A parallel plot in which the boyfriend becomes aware of his girlfriend's danger and sets out to find her fills out the running time and seems copied from I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998). There's nothing original in this movie and even the shocking denouement is a steal from Carrie (1976). Stage scenes evoke the kind of creature features shot in the 1950s and Martin Kove lends quality support to a cast of unknowns doing a Harrison Ford impersonation with shades of Robert Shaw. Intertextual elements such as these mean that there is never a dull moment for genre fans. While the settings for the film are the United States and Acapulco, it is quite clear from the closing credits that this film was made far beyond the fringes of Hollywood. Prolific production company Nu Image, who churned out a number of creature features in the early 00s, have made many of their films in South Africa and Bulgaria, but this was shot in India.How much you enjoy Crocodile 2 will largely depend on your expectations and mood. I loved this when I first saw it and found it very bland the next. There's a modest amount of gore to please post-pub viewers of all ages but there's little that's memorable.

A failed hijack attempt by a group of armed criminals goes horribly wrong, causing the plane to crash into a crocodile infested South American swamp. A small handful of crew and passengers crawl from the wreckage, but are horrified to discover that several of the hijackers have also survived the disaster. Forced at gunpoint to carry the bad guys' luggage (which is stuffed full of stolen cash), the group trudge through the murky waters, all the while stalked by a huge hungry reptile. Meanwhile, Zach (Chuck Walczak), boyfriend of pretty stewardess survivor Mia (Heidi Lenhart), hires local tracker Roland (Martin Kove) to help him find his woman.After the massive disappointment that was Tobe Hooper's Crocodile, I really wasn't expecting much (if anything) from a sequel, especially after reading some of the disparaging comments here on IMDb; but knock me down with a rubber reptile and call me Steve Irwin if Death Roll didn't prove to be the most fun I've had with a low-budget B-movie creature feature in a long while.Despite nearly all of the accusations fired at this film by its naysayers being absolutely true (the story IS highly derivative, the characters ARE extremely clichéd, and the killer croc itself IS a marvel of VERY manky CGI and pathetic model-making), I just couldn't help but have a total blast.What makes Crocodile 2 so surprisingly watchable is that even though director Gary Jones knows damn well that he's working on another predictable, cheesy and formulaic film destined for the bottom shelf at Blockbusters, he still gives it everything he has (Hooper's film, on the other hand, felt like the director was just going through the motions).Jones's enthusiastic and unpretentious approach is mirrored by his cast, who play their preposterous one-dimensional roles to the hilt, and the result is a silly, funny (perhaps unintentionally, perhaps knowingly), scary, and ultimately hugely enjoyable monster movie that offers impeccably timed jump scares, several gory deaths, a cartoonish and impossibly evil head villain (whose vocabulary is littered with unimaginative expletives), a David Hess-alike creepy henchman, a truly awful exploding helicopter model, a denouement that was telegraphed from the very beginning, and the obligatory daft pre-credits 'shock' sequence that finally allows us blokes a better look at the very sexy Lenhart (dont get too excited, though: she's only in a bikini!).It might seem like a ridiculously high rating for such a corny film, but I give Crocodile 2: Death Roll a whopping 8/10.

Where to begin? I thought I was watching a B-movie Thriller after 20 minutes. The opening scene made me think I rent another movie. Then, the whole plane crash scene could've been done in 10 minutes without all the cursing and violent scenes. A Horror movie needs violence but "Horror oriented" not plain violence that isn't common in the genre. Anyways, it took several minutes for the real plot to develop. You know, the big crocodile attacking the survivors of the plane crash. Then, it takes too long before the crocodile appears on screen again and that means that there aren't many death scenes. By the time I stopped caring about the plot, the characters were getting dumber and dumber so the movie got interesting.The ending didn't surprise me or provokea reaction, it seems that it was very rushed. I just wasted 90 minutes of my life in something that I didn't pay for. I mean, this is far from being a low budget Horror flick.The best features about Crocodile 2: -Mia. Heidi is a hot woman, really hot. She has a spectacular body and you can witness at the end where she wears a sexy bikini. I wonder she hasn't starred in more B-flicks. That's it. The worst features: -The non sense dialogs. The cursing is exaggerated. The word "bitch" is probably 50% the whole dialogs in the movie. -The acting. All the actors were terrible! This is probably the worst acted movie from 2002. Special recognition for the guy who gets killed for yelling. The guy provided the worst acting I've recently seen. Memorable scenes include the fake, cheap CGI crocodile jumping about 10 meters and eat a guy who was giving the finger to him. Also, why would the tough black guy have his shirt ripped and reveal ONE nipple through all the movie? You can't get much worse that this movie. Anyways, watch this movie only if you are HUNGRY, really hungry for a B-movie in all the sense of the term. Don't pay for it, don't rent it, just wait until it shows on cable.
