Save your money for something good and enjoyable

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.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This serviceable follow-up to the original ALLIGATOR has absolutely nothing to do with that movie – other than featuring an alligator living in the sewers of a US city. I actually found this a fun, tongue-in-cheek little monster movie that works around the low budget to deliver a pacy, entertaining film with a strong script to recommend it. It's closer to PIRANHA than JAWS in tone, with the usual stock characters showing up: the rookie cop, the greedy property developer, the ignorant mayor and the dedicated law enforcer on the tail of the beast (literally in this case).The worst thing about the film is the alligator itself. It's a combination of stock footage from the original film and an absolutely rubbishy pair of rubber jaws pushed at the intended victims. The poor FX and distant lack of bloodshed make the various attack sequences a real let-down, but that's okay because what happens when the alligator isn't on-screen is more interesting than it is.The clichéd characters are brought to life by a wonderful ensemble cast of familiar faces. Joseph Bologna is well cast as the likable cop doing his best to catch the best; I also liked Woody Brown as the young, inexperienced, square-jawed hero. Dee Wallace Stone (THE HOWLING) finds herself wasted as the cop's wife with nothing to do, but the stunning Holly Gagnier has more fun playing the mayor's daughter. The scene chewing is left to a pair of dedicated B-movie veterans.First up is Steve Railsback (TURKEY SHOOT), excellent as the utterly repulsive villain of the piece; second we have Richard Lynch playing one of those half-crazed redneck hunter types. Other familiar faces include Brock Peters as the black chief of police, Jason Voorhees himself, Kane Hodder, as an alligator hunter and Voyo Goric (a Russian villain in RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART 2) as a henchman. This isn't a great film by any means, but I found it a more than entertaining effort considering the budget.

Few men go fishing and soon end up being killed by another Alligator.When they are reported missing from there family members.It's not long before that cop believe that, there is a Alligator in the lake.Most of the movies was really dull, as it take them forever to come with a plan,Sub plots in this movie were also boring as well, which also bring the movie down, drag on a little too long.The Alligator attacking scenes were really bsd, not as gory a first one.Some of the acting was a little over the top at times, some of the other cast were good but they could have put a lot more effort into there acting.4 out of 10

Alligator II: The Mutation is a pretty good follow up to the classic 1980 film Aliigator, the plot is very similar since it's a giant Alligator eating up the people who go near it while a detective tries to stop it. This time a small town has two problems, the Alligator and a Courrpt Business man that wants to take full control of the town while using the Mayor, Detective David Hodges (Joseph Bologna) discovers some bodies that looked like they was eaten by something big so with the help of his wife Christine Hodges (Dee Wallace) and his Partner they try to stop the Alligator.The Mayor sends a group of Alligator hunters lead by Hawk Hawkins (Richard Lynch) but after the Alligator eats most of his men he teams up with Hodges to kill the Alligator while the Mayor and the Business man hold a festival, he kills the Mayor for refusing to cooperate with him and soon the Alligator crashes the party. So Hodges and his companions try to confront the Alliagor again.This is a good sequel that's nice to watch on a night when there's nothing on. 10/10

I enjoyed the first "Alligator", but this one just does not live up to that one. Not that the first one is a superb movie, but it was a lot of fun. This one just is not good at all. The main problem for me was that the alligator was not all that impressive quite frankly. I have seen alligators this size before. The only thing different about it, is the fact it is tougher to kill. The story here isn't good either and neither is the action. They go into the sewers to hunt it then it attacks some festival and then they figure away to kill it. This movie is not going to knock your socks off with buckets of gore and it isn't very interesting either, best just to skip it. It just does not measure up to the first one.
