    Oh boy :/....the movie is supposed to be about Gustave...an actual 2,000 pound, 20 feet crocodile in the Republic of Burundi, a small country in the Great Lakes region of Africa...but the film made even less mention of the creature than anything! The film's promotional trailer du...( read more)bs Gustave a "serial killer", who has claimed more than 300 victims and "remains at large". It is compared to Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac Killer with his non-human status never mentioned except for a brief line where the narrator says, "He's real, but he's not human." A shortened version of this trailer does not even contain this at all! However, in the trailer, a crocodile, presumably Gustave, briefly flashes on screen. The promotional poster similarly calls Gustave "the most prolific serial killer in history". The film's official website rarely makes any mention that the killer is in fact a crocodile! It should be noted that although the story is about a real crocodile, the claim that it has killed over 300 people is a rumor as opposed to the total number of reported deaths, which is around 110...the movie was an all around flop!

    Not what I thought...but pleasantly surprised with the overall movie...One of the better critter movies....The sub plot of the strife in Africa really added to the movie...Gore was there...story was there...Good flick!!!

    Didn't realize it was a croc film until I got to the movie theater. Still entertaining though, and I can't tell you how happy it made me that the dog survived.

    The most brutal croc ever known in, perhaps, the most brutal croc film ever! This is a great creature feature, inspired by the true, and ongoing, story of Gustave, the largest crocodile in Africa, who's said to have claimed at least 300 lives. While Gustave himself moved a bit to...( read more)o fast on land for my liking in this film, he's nonetheless the best CGI croc I've ever seen. For a creature film, it's awesome, brutal, and sets a standard for others. Whether it's your cup of tea or not, Primeval (named Primeval Kill in the UK) is worth a look, and definitely better than Tobe Hooper's shite film Crocodile.

    La película quiere contarnos muchas cosas, pero no consolida una historia central, por lo que todo parece superficial.

    Sin embargo creo que tiene un no sé que refrescante que la hace entretenida. 5/10

    Excited when I saw the trailer. Disappointed when I heard it was a crocodile. Pleasantly surprised when I saw the movie. Better than I thought it would be.

    Crocodile Carnaaaaaaaage! I liked it. It's based on true events from Burundi about a man-eating croc (over 300 to date) nicknamed Gustave, who many people have attempted to catch to no avail. The movie is a bit over the top....but it's a hollywood production. I thought it was...( read more) pretty good especially for a giant (only exaggerating about 5 feet) croc. The characters you are suppossed to like are likeable and vice versa.

    When this was advertised, I expected it to be about the most notorious human serial killer not a crocodile. It was worth the watch though. Add a great anti-war message.

    I was surprised by this movie. Its a little slow at first but there are some very amazing landscape shots to keep you interested till the blood is shed. The crocodile effects are good and the story being based off a real life crocodile that has eaten its fare share of humans give...( read more)s this movie a little more freaky edge. there are some very cool shots in this flick and the lighting is great and it really creates the mood. Acting is good and Orlando Jones is very funny at times. The only problem with this film is that they focus on bad guys to long you start to miss the crocodile but other then that a all around entertaining flick. (nn)

    This movie is stupid, but I enjoyed the big old monster nonetheless. It's not supposed to be Shakespeare.

    the story it is based on is true - and in fact "Gustave" the croc is still alive and well and claiming victims-however in the movie the science is awful, the digital croc is almost as bad. The scary atmosphere is well done - given the war torn country (although the Burundians ha...( read more)te it), and there are some priceless lines and moments. Almost worth it.

    This movie probably had the worst advertising in the world. By the previews they made it sound like a thriller set in a foreign country. Funny how it's actually a horror movie with a giant killer crocodile. Funny, isn't it? The effects were good, but the rest wasn't.

    YET ANOTHER HORRIBLE FLICK ACCEPT FOR A REALLY COOL FORCIBLE FULL HEAD CRUSH, BROOKE LANGTON AND A QUOTE AS SAID BY ORLANDO JONES; "I'D NEVER SAY THIS IN FRONT OF A BUNCH OF WHITE FOLKS, BUT SLAVERY WAS A GOOD THING. ANYTHING TO GET TH FUCK OUT OF AFRICA.
