Fist off, I love movies of this ilk. I can handle stilted acting, cheesy special effects and extreme close-up to hide the fact that there isn't a cast of thousands in the crowd. The reason for really low rating is because of the sound mix.

Budget limitations might be an excuse for seeing matte lines or transparent effects. Budget limitations might be an excuse for a lot of reasons but there is no excuse for the sound mix on this movie. Most of the time the dialog is completely inaudible. That might not matter to some, but it's a major distraction. Often the music cues simply stop before the cue is finished. In one sequence near the end of the film where the two principals are obviously having a key discussion, the overdub of machine gun fire is so loud that you can't hear a word that they say.

I was prepared to like this movie. I expected a low-budget film and with that comes the expectations of less than stellar performances and effects. The camera work was fine, the acting okay (from what I could tell from facial expressions), everything that you would expect but somewhere in post production this film was totally destroyed by somebody who thought loud music and gunfire was more important than anything else in the film. At least they could have supplied a subtitle track or a close caption option so the viewer would at least have some way of knowing what the actors are supposed to be saying.

Maybe the scifi channel can pick this up and give it a remix. The people at Asylum productions should be ashamed of themselves.

The sound is dreadful. The background music drowns out much of the dialog. Gunfire sounds added to the soundtrack leaves the audience wondering if one of the very dumb characters might have said something that could be quoted later. The female star shouts her lines and she manages to irritate the audience when she cries or argues or even when she says nothing. It is the director's fault. The dailies would show that the cast needed to be changed. Keep the fake croc or fake helicopter or fake gunfire but lose the cast. The guy lead is OK but his character is wimpy. He should have been the girl. I generously give this two stars because I think something worse is waiting for me to watch that I could give a one star rating. The CGI monster is adequate. These people will make a movie again if we don't stop them in Oxnard or Point Magu, they could reach Los Angeles and lay eggs.

Supercroc is one of those movies that doesn't quite motivate you enough to get up of the couch and turn and it off.

The acting wasn't too bad I guess,but the CGI and the storyline were rotten!!!!

Remember lake placid? That movie had humour,decent effects,decent acting and although the storyline was unbelievable,it was enjoyable.Supercroc on the other hand left me feeling like I had wasted around 90mns of my life!

The movie wasn't quite bad enough to motivate me to turn it off,I say not quite,but very,very close to it. I just wanted it to finish so I could go to bed.

If you love low budget,bad acting,terrible story lines etc.. then this movie is a must!!! If not,I'd avoid it like the plague!

I found myself cheering every time the giant lizard ate another one of these crappy actors.

Every line is a cliché, the effects are made on decade old computers, and the actors must have been friends of the director. All in all I get the expression that they collected some guys, gave them some gun replicas and gave them a couple of lines each. It really feels like a cheap TV-show on sci-fi channel or something, with special effects substandard to even high school media students. Who on earth gave these guys funds for this. I bet someone is having rich parents.

This film made me angry. For wasting my time, as well as others.

Let me start by saying I usually like films of this caliber due to the often unintentional comedy. However this film is just boring, plain and simple.

No decent kill scenes, bland and boring score, Shaquile O Neal type acting, large amount of stock footage, horrific CGI croc and several moments of complete silence due to improper sound mixing (a lot of the time you can hear gunshots, but no-one is firing). Most of the time you can't hear the dialogue, except for the Wilhelm screams. This film is as entertaining as colon cancer. If you're suffering from insomnia, I would recommend this film. All others, avoid this cinematic blandness if possible.

Well well...

my first 'review' on IMDb. Until now I've mostly read others opinions and reviews, usually ignoring well-meant and sincere advises to NOT watch certain movies. Let me just say: I hope I can spare some people 90 minutes of utter misery by saying DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! I'm quite a fan of this type of movies, where usually some kind of animal or creature, created by some chemical waste or awakened from a centuries long slumber, is threatening a crew or city and killing/destroying everything in it's wake. I'm used to such movies not rating too high on IMDb as well. But this one definitely beats everything when it comes to being complete crap.

The storyline... I'm not really sure there was one. The special effects... imagine a 100foot crocodile making it's way into the water, without even the slightest ripple in the water surface; amazing? Not as amazing as how it stampedes around noisy like a herd of mammoths in one scene, yet manages to sneak up on our brave heroes without a sound in the next.

One other annoying thing was the sound; I don't know if my sound system was mucking up on me, but 3/4 of the dialogs were impossible to hear if you don't want to actively raise and lower your volume continuously. Especially when a 'background' music or tune is playing (which is most of the time), it becomes impossible to hear what is being said. Learn to read lips or make sure you have the subtitles on.

Ah to cut it short, this really is a miserable attempt at a movie. Feel absolutely free to watch it, but don't say you weren't warned.

The acting is competent, with Kim Little (sort of resembles a Faith Ford and Elisabeth Shue hybrid which is kind of cool), playing her cards close to her chest as Government palaeontologist called in to advise on a giant crocodile that's been unearthed by an earthquake, threatening coastal towns en route to LA. Soldiers in the field (Hall & Blashaw) are being pursued by the indestructible behemoth with General (Novak), Little's character and other assorted advisors frantically co-ordinating efforts to control the beast's path of destruction from HQ.

It's all digital camcorder, CGI, synthesiser-sound, cheap home movie stuff, and while the performances are probably better than average for this type of production, the overall result is lacklustre. A raft of audio-visual tricks that don't paper over the budget holes, no realistic interaction between actors and the title antagonist, MTV-style light, sound and editing techniques, masses of stock footage but most disappointing of all, precious little horror or suspense.

It's the kind of movie that looks conceived and executed by visual artists instead of storytellers, all smoke & mirrors sans substance.

I just saw this movie. It reminds me of those "B" sci-fi movies that were produced in the 1950's about giant ants, and grasshoppers and things. I loved watching them as a kid and its good that somebody is bringing them back. Not a lot of graphic gore, just good, fun entertainment. Anyway, Supercroc is a budget film by Asylum pictures starring Cynthia Rose Hall and Matt Blashaw. Two outstanding up and coming young actors. I'm sure we'll be seeing more of them in the future. For an indie film it has some great photography and sound. All the actors in my opinion did a great job. The special effects were pretty good too considering that these are "low budget" films put out by Asylum. I just wish that it could have been a little bit longer than 85 minutes. The writing wasn't bad either but I got the feeling that maybe some of this movie was left on the cutting room floor which is too bad because it would have helped the continuity of the story if left in. In my opinion, if you enjoy watching these kinds of movies then you'll like this one too!

OK, i understand it's a bad movie, but is it a truly BAD movie? Because there is true genius to be found in good BAD movies. Different standards have to be applied to BAD movies. Roger Corman made an entire career out of cranking out schlocky B monster movies that entertain a generation of film geeks. It is amazing what he accomplished with the budget that they had back then.

Supercroc is not a Hollywood blockbuster, it was never meant to be. It's cheap and there's hardly any Croc at all. It never aspires to be more then what it really is, a monster movie made for pennies on the dollar purely for the sake of killing the people off one by one. You KNOW the drill, you KNOW what to expect. Grab the bucket of popcorn, sit back and start the lottery going on who it is to get knocked off first. Will it be the plucky but timid girl out for her first adventure?? The token minority?? The mom who is going thru a tough divorce? Mr Hooper... oops, he's already dead. The guy in the red shirt....... well, you get the drift.

The cover of the Australian DVD sports the tag line "Original Uncut Version" and it is rated "M" (presumably for mature audiences) for "coarse language". I haven't watched any other version, just this Australian DVD, so I cannot say what, if anything, has been cut from other versions. Yet, this so-called "uncut" version itself is pretty lame anyway... The sole reason I recommend this Australian DVD is the great art on the cover! While the US DVD, whose covers scans I have seen on the net, features a crocodile eye over a cityscape, the Australian DVD features a giant crocodile jumping out of the sea to swallow a helicopter. There is nothing else to recommend about this movie, just DVD cover art, and only the Australian DVD at that...

I thought it was just me, but no, apparently the sound really is that bad. But then I am one of those people who leave the Closed Captions turned on by default on my television. They would have been a blessing for this movie. During the.first half of the movie I couldn't help but think that if I had been watching this in black and white I would have assumed it was a B-movie from the 1950s. But I like those sort of films (where's Ray Harryausen when you need him?)....unfortunately the story gets less and less convincing as it goes on and even introduces a conspiracy sub-plot with a very predictable final scene. Sorry, it's no threat to 1959's "The Giant Gila Monster".

SUPERCROC ( theasylum.cc ) Starring; Kim Little & Marat Glaser. The best of SC is the title and poster, WOW ! The acting is quite good whoever thought of making the bosse's wife the bad-guy was VERY comfortable with his job,LOL. We thought the dialogue made sense and seemed what people would do in a similar situation. Cynthia Rose Hall has a lot of acting skill, Seemed to carry the film along at times. Matthew Blashaw has that Gi-Joe jaw,That fans depend on for their heroes.A missed opportunity is Marat Glaser(Who stole the scenes in 9/11 Commission report) as a government desk jockey,He deserves more to do .

When a gigantic crocodile begins heading toward the city of Los Angeles to recover a batch of stolen eggs, a military group must head into action to keep the creature at bay before it causes untold destruction.

This one ended up being a massive disappointment as a horror film though there's some good stuff overall here. One of the biggest positives here is the absolutely fun and cheesy creature attacks here that make this much more fun than expected. It's presented pretty much as one long action sequence here from the start, with the opening encounters in the forest where the opening ambush and later discovery of the eggs in the secret cavern are great at introducing the creature's size and habitat out in the woods as well as the military attacks that result in the discovery of the creature which goes deep into the forest for some really fun action to start this off. That follows into the film's best parts and what really fuels the film in that it turns into a giant monster movie with a cheesy bent as there's a lot of fun here in the continued military attacks from ground troops firing off at it through the forest to the exciting attacks that take place in the march to the city as there's an air-strike, a series of helicopter assaults and a final attack during the full-on city destruction scene which allows this one to get plenty of fun in the cheesy destruction moments of the panicked crowed fleeing that the film becomes enjoyable because of this extended kind of scene. While it's the film's best part, it's also one of the most damaging in that that the kind of giant monster film that it becomes, there's just very little horror elements present since the croc is so much bigger than it should be and it doesn't really attack anyone. Instead, it's pretty much attacked all the way through with the kind of extended, drawn-out scenes here of the military brass meeting to discuss what to do with it and determining what kind of creature this is that the pace is built away even from a horror film that it drops down a lot from these issues. That brings the film along with nice monster movie action but not as much works here as a horror film with a croc so big it can't attack anyone in the city destruction scenes since there's no one around and the rest of the plot tends to revolve around the same scenes of military tactical decision making. The last part that lowers this one is the rather lame and embarrassing-styled CGI here for the croc as it doesn't really look all that great with the usual amount of flaws here in the failure to interact with the surroundings, the complete inability to blend together to the action presented and generally coming across with the same level of detail as decades-old video games which have long been a staple of such films and continues on in here. These here manage to keep this one down from what it could've been.

Rated R: Graphic Language and Violence.

Granted, I wasn't really harboring much of any grand expectations to this 2007 movie titled "Supercroc". I mean, the title alone was enough to make shrug. And then those three dreaded words appeared on the screen as the movie started; The Asylum presents...

Yup, "Supercroc" is a movie from The Asylum, but thankfully not a mockbuster. But that doesn't make it a good movie. Far from it, in fact.

Writers Steve Bevilacqua and David Michael Latt put together a bland and generic script. I am sure that you could watch the first 15 minutes and the last 15 minutes and still be up to speed with what happened throughout the course of the prolonged 85 minutes that the movie ran for.

I even dozed off not even halfway through the ordeal. Indeed, the movie was that sluggish and boring.

The acting performances in the movie were rather wooden. In fact, you could say that the acting were every bit as realistic and convincing as the CGI animated crocodile itself. I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. And that is usually something I really enjoy when I watch a movie. But the acting performances in "Supercroc" were just horrible, especially the one from leading actress Cynthia Rose Hall.

Visually, then "Supercroc" is worth watching for a laugh or two. The CGI animated crocodile looks insanely poor. There was nothing that looked realistic about it, and that just took away from the overall enjoyment of a creature feature such as this was supposed to be.

Do yourself a favor and don't waste 85 minutes on watching "Supercroc". Some of us suffered through this movie, so you don't have to. You're very welcome.

My rating of director Scott Harper's 2007 movie "Supercroc" lands on a one out of ten stars.

Very informative movie about crocodiles. I had never heard of these majestic prehistoric beasts before, much like the entire US military, and now I have learned a lot of useful Croco Facts that I can use at bars to impress ladies..

I wonder how they trained the Crocodile ( Her name was Crocodelilah I looked it up) to be in the city with out causing any damage. Great work by the Handlers.

I also thought the inclusion of the Blind Computer Girl was very progressive, You could tell she was blind because she could type away at whatever her job of typing was, without even needing the screen of her computer turned on.

And the last scene... a spine tingling teaser for a SuperCroc 2..

Berkisah tentang buaya raksasa yang meneror kota los Angeles, para tentara harus menghentikan mahluk buas itu, mampukah mereka melumpuhkan buaya itu ???

Film ini merupakan film berbiaya rendah, akting yang sangat mengerikan dari para pemain, CGI yang sangat buruk, dialog dialog murahan.... Namun film ini masih menghibur.
