    How do I get 90 minutes of my life back?

    This is 2018 and the original Jurassic Park (1993) looks far more real than this The animal is 100% computer generated, most probably on a ZX Spectrum.

    Absolutely terrible acting, terrible plot, terrible waste of my time..

    90 minutes of screaming

    Screaming, yelling, hollering, arguing, nonstop for 90 minutes. Surprisingly good acting. A talented group of actors wasted in this drivel. They just happened (on a day trip) to all bring waterproof flashlights with powerful lights that never dim or run out of power. The usual preposterous scenes. If you like loud, irritating screaming non stop front to end, this is for you.

    Very poor

    South Africa stands in for the USA and a cast of mainly Canadian and European actors play American characters, in some cases not very convincingly. Pointless and very poor sequel in the Lake Placid franchise this entry can only be recommended as a time filler to viewers who can tolerate bad movies. Worst thing about this is the abysmal "special" effects. Whether it is the creature, a swarm of bats or explosions the CGI suck big time. Predictable too.

    No Croc Here Dudes by Jaffer

    Movie was a waste of time, unlike the Original movie, this movie makes no sense, we all know this movie is about the monster crocodile but in entire movie all you see is pathetic screams and gore but you can see crocodile for a few seconds, not to mention the worst animation (CGI) it's C grade movie, performance of the actors doesn't count if the movie is about something and showing something else, my recommendation don't waste your time

    Where's the Croc.

    If you're going to have a movie about a giant croc you should probably show it once in a while. The series took a big slam from the cgi over the time but honestly I still found them all fun and felt like it stayed in tune with the original plot up until now. I do like the series and so wanted to like legacy but it failed terribly. They had solid acting but obviously no budget for the cgi so I ask why make the movie at all. When they do show the croc it's blurred and unrealistic and you wait until near the end to finally see just how bad it is. The plot started out somewhat ok but went to crap quick. Why they went where they did (into a giant bunker) was I guess a diversion cause they had no budget to show the croc. Most of the kills scenes don't even show the croc and are inside in a dark bunker. I hope this isn't the legacy for real of this series. They need to go back to the roots with the local towns people and add in a couple of big city folks with the dark comedy and it would be a pleasure if we even got back past cgi budget. I gave it a 2 for the acting and only watched to the end because I'm a devoted fan. I Know the rating will drop to around 3 as it sits at about 4.4 due to cast and friends voting. Comon bring back Betty White and keep the action outside.

      Second film in the series to not show any nudity. The first was the original Lake Placid (1999).
    • Goofs
      Near the beginning of the film while watching the recording the slider at the bottom goes at a speed that would have caused the video to end well before it actually did.
