You're welcome. Yeah, like I said, it looks like we've got superor effects to the first movie when it comes to the crocs.

LOL... Well it just ended... It was better then the 3rd but that's really not saying much. They left it wide open for a 4th which no doubt they will probably make.

One positive thing about this movie, The chick's were nice to look at, good bikini scene's other-wise it was pretty much the same as the last.

Not that anyone will notice, but i will SO glad the Crocodile ate the dude looking for his girlfriend seriously i was like thank christ. He was annoying as sin.

I actuelly really enjoyed it. It was way better than the second, I actuelly cared about most of the characters, but I agree with Comablack, the one looking for his girlfriend was rather annoying. However, at least he got a heroic sacrifice and showed that he honestly cared for her.

I agree with AlienHulk's comment, that hunter chick was probably my favorite character, I mean I thought she'd get eaten in the first attack but man did she grow on me. Probably because she did grow some and killed two crocs with nothing but a hunting knife, if that doesn't scream bada** I don't know what does.

Overall, while still not as good at the first, its far better than the second by a huge margin. Even the CGI was better than the second, particularally with the final Croc. Yeah, some scenes were stinkers, but even those were better than the second film.

Let it be known to everyone that Redemption From Any Point Of View Equals Death. Even if you know you have nothing to redeem, as long as someone believes you are trying to redeem yourself, you will die. And I was so glad when they killed off Russian Girl. Of all the characters that deserved to die most, she was at first place, right next to Lying Bastard.

Although, I do have to ask: Where the hell did the big ones come from? Were there others that Crazy Sadie didn't know about? They didn't actually explain those ones. Hell, they were even a surprise to The Kid (That I Want To Punch). Actually, thinking back to the ending of the First Movie, that's actually quite possible.

And I'm surpirsed they decided to leave this one open ended.
Today, at the edge of our hope...

At the end of our time, we have chosen to believe in each other.

Today we face the monsters that are at our door.

I was also waiting for that russian girl to die, I mean seriously, not only was she a minority, she was blond (no offense to blonds, but in a horror movie, nine times out of ten being blond equals death), and she was just a jerk. I mean I felt sorry for after she's wounded earlier, but then when she locks them out of the house with the crocodiles and refuses to let them back in, I was glad she got eaten.

Another thing that I found intresting, is after the point when Reeba makes it into the house, I actuelly had no idea who'd live and who'd die, which is good. Anyway, as a movie overal, I'd give it a 3/5, as far as Syfy Channel Original Movies go, it gets a 5/5.

I really enjoyed this movie. Near the end it broke out of the usual who-lives-and-who-dies cliches, and that's always a plus. And the hunting guide was awesome. Too bad she died.

Yeah, I agree, though she didn't go down without a fight, how often does a character kill the monster that's killing them?

I know I've seen quite a few, but you're right, it's fairly rare that it happens.

As far as direct-to-TV sequels go, this one could have been a lot worse. I thought it was funny when the kid was shaken up when the dad questioned him about knowing, and then he totally turns the argument around, pins it on the dad, and walks away like nothing happened. That was funny.

Reeba vs. Crane from Webs vs. Jack Brooks vs. General George Merlin from Bug Buster vs. the crooks from Crocodile 2 vs. Roy Burns vs. Jason Fitch from Mega Piranha, any takers? :P

Yes, but even more rarely with only a hunting knife.

Yeah, I found that funny. A nice thing though was the kid actuelly realized the Crocs were monsters, unlike his great aunts.

Definitively. One of the few characters in a B-movie I've ever seen that can be officially called a total badass.

I thought it was decent, and not your routine "KILLER CROCODILE" flick. Anybody else think it was alright?
