Just as good as Lake Placid


I thought this movie was just as good as Lake Placid. Yes it is about the same subject but it also added a bit of political drama in there and gave just enough gator, but not too much to where it was ridiculous. It was also nice to see some decent actors in a sci-fi flick as of late. I don't believe this movie deserved the rating it has so far.

this movie sucked bad acting dumb plot Lake Placid on the other hand was i thought was good it had way better acting better plot and the crocodile look better in lake placid and the one in primeval was very fake looking......and it was not a gator it was a crocodile to seperate animals

reply

Both animals probably have a better grasp of the English language, though, such as punctuation and spelling.

I watched this movie on DVD recently and I have to say that, in my opinion, it was not as good as "Lake Placid at all. It really wasn't that great at all not that "Lake Placid" was an award winner because...well...it wasn't(Check the info on IMDB.). But, not only did "Lake Placid" have better acting...it had BETTER ACTORS. Oliver Platt, Bridget Fonda, Betty White...I mean..come on...it had Brendan Gleeson. Not that these actors are at the top of the list but, they are all more seasoned actors than the ones in "Primeval" which I think attribute to "Lake Placid" being a better movie. It did get much too wrapped up in the political corruption to be a croc movie.

I very much enjoyed this flick. Good to see a decent monstermovie now and then.
Just wish Gustave had more screentime. Still he got a pretty big roll.

It was better than I thought it would be. Much better than the 3.5 IMDB has given it.

It was better than Lake Placid 2.
