A crocodile does not act like this. This movie was so stupid. If a crocodile eats a man it will not be hugry nearly for a week and it will not attack unless provoked in that case. Also crocodiles eat whatever they hunt, they do not preserve food.Also they do not breathe under water and goes under water only for attacking. They should be seeing it over the tree all around.
You are right, but try convincing the fanboys without being labelled as a "troll"!
I dunno from where those dudes gets their info about the behaviour of crocodiles but seems their knowledge is based more on urban myths instead on serious researchs made by experts on the field.
One of the ads for this movie reads: "Does for cocodriles what Jaws did for sharks". Putting aside that ludicrous comparison between a bona-fide escapist classic and this mediocre film, the ad is right. "Jaws" convinced millions around the world tha White Sharks were the ultimate wicked man-eaters. That myth lasted several decades despite of the effort of countless experts on White Sharks who knew that everything about the sharks in the movie was wrong. Now, Crocs are receiving the same treatment, although this movie will never reach the popularity of Spielberg's film (which is a good thing).
Sorry but crocs don't behave like that. They don't hunt humans one by one. They don't "gather" food on the mud. They are not smart and evil creatures waiting to slaughter unlucky bastards. They don't spend entire days watching a particular prey. They gotta rest on dry soil for a while each day (usually in the morning in order to get warm).
Actually more people dies each year killed by donkeys or bees than people killed by crocs around the world.
BTW the fact that this movie used real crocs, doesn't makes this movie "realistic". Each one of the events depicted in the movie (bar the ridiculous stuff mentioned above), could have happened separetely, but when put together, then the "realism" of the movie disappears once and for all.
Finally, why the fans of this flick get so defensive? I mean, its just a "croc flick"! C'mon! and frankly it's quite dull. It's not like if we were talking about one of the masterpieces directed by Kieslowski or Kurosawa, for God's sake!
3/10 because of the camera work and the footage of real crocs.
