What an oddly sweet and funny "monster" movie. The title, of course, is very misleading. (The original title wasn't much of an improvement, though more to the point.)

Yes, this particular crocodile is bigger than normal and she did dash through a building, but she isn't Godzilla-big nor does she possess any special powers.

The story involves several converging scenarios. There's a man who buys some crocodiles allowing the owner to believe they're going to a zoo (he actually plans on serving them to customers). The BIG croc in question is loath to become anyone's meal and escapes. An irate young woman (I found her funny, some might not), comes across the escaped croc and loses her handbag (containing her life savings in cash) down the gaping maw. She tries enlisting the help of the police (here her tactics prove to be quite persuasive through sheer persistence alone), and ends up with a guy who's notorious for not being able to shoot straight. Paths criss-cross, hunters get involved once the stomach contents are well known; it's oddly endearing how these strange people end up impacting each other's lives. I liked this movie. But it is less about the crocodile and more about the various people in hot pursuit. Yes, things get a little bloody from time to time and yes, there is a skinny dipping scene with a group of little boys in the same lake that the crocodile heads for. It makes for a tense moment.

It's a keeper.

Don't let the idiotic title fool you. It's NOT a made-for-Sy Fy-channel original. It's an extremely well made, very funny Chinese creature feature that was called "Million Dollar Crocodile" in China, but whose title was daftly changed to "Croczilla" in order to appeal to the dumbing down of American filmgoers (the same people who love dreck like Michael Bay and the "American Pie" films).

This film was a bit too long, but it had likeable characters (the main woman was annoying, yes, but I liked her spunk, and she was funny) and really good CGI (much better than in a lot of American films). There was a sense of fun permeating this film that's missing from a lot of recent creature features. The humor in it was just so odd! Definitely one of the better giant animal films to come along. Highly recommended, especially if you're in the mood for something different.

I know we probably shouldn't but we just love these horrible movies! We have a pretty huge selection of "creature" movies and this just kind of falls in place with most of them. None will ever be Oscar contenders, but most of them are pretty entertaining. If you like this kind of movie, you'll probably like this movie.

Honest reviews on Croczilla (2013)

To put is mildly lousy. Poor acting, bad storyline, very bad CG. I am being kind by giving it one star.

I didn't expect much from this movie by the title. I did expect a huge Crock killing people though. It was more of a decent sized Crock on the loose creating a disturbance.

There is a woman in one scene that whines and cries so annoyingly and for so long that I almost had to turn the movie off.

This movie sucks.
