One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Working in Hawaii to stop an impending eruption, a vulcanologist and his team come across a scientist tracking an escaped prehistoric crocodile in the area and must unite to bring the creature down before it rampages through the area.Overall this one was a very enjoyable cheesy creature feature. What makes this one so much fun is the rather fun encounters that come about here from the continuation of the channel's quick-shot attacks throughout here. The suspenseful stalking of the couple at the lake in the beginning, the cheesy model photo-shoot at the waterfall which leads in the first of many chases through the forest, the attack on the pot harvesters at the clearing or the tense scene of the couple hiding out by the trees in the jungle where they hope to let it pass by without being seen are all part of this kind of set-up along the first half. The second half of the film is where this one really gets fun with the attack on the ridge coming up through the trees and launching a surprise attack, the ambush at the waterfall knocking them into the water and the incredibly fun time of the jeep attack that leads into the chase through the forest all come off as rather fun attacks in here due to the rather enjoyable time here. Even with these, though, the film's at its best with the finale where the creature attacks the tourists at the resort which has a ton of high-quality features, from the stalking of the guests to the chaos of the panicked crowds fleeing it advancing after them, the gunfire brought to bear on the creature to bring it down resulting in some great action to come along chasing it around and the final resolution to kill the creature gives this one a lot to really like, especially with the other big action scenes in this section really building into a solid series of scenes keeping the pace up quite nicely here. There's also quite a bit of fun with the main creature here, having not only a fun overall design suitable for a cheesy creature feature while also managing to get a nice tactic out of the use of the realistic creatures' jaws throughout many of the attacks which gives this a really cheesy tone that makes this one good enough to overcome the few flaws in here. The biggest issue in this one comes from the film's rather uneven first half which is filled with the brief attacks while spending far too much time on the back-story for each of the incidental characters set-up here as cannon-fodder. The photo-shoot models, the sorority couple, and the stoners all get way too much there than they really should since they're here only to up the body count. The other flaw here is the per-usual CGI that c comes into use for the creature which comes with all the usual hallmarks of the style here. These are what hold this one down.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language and drug use.

In Hawaii, volcanologist Brad Johnson (as Scott Kinney) and young assistant Josh Kelly (as Ryan Houston) arrive to investigate a possible volcano eruption. Meanwhile, a prehistoric-looking alligator appears to be running amok, eating people. The titular "Supergator" attracts veteran alligator geneticist Kelly McGillis (as Kimberly "Kim" Taft). Acting (or not) as backup are reporter Bianca Lawson (as Carla Masters) and resident assistant Mary Alexander Stiefvater (as Alexandra Stevens)...These "Syfy Channel" and video premiering monster movies are generally mediocre, but a few are above average and even more can be fun to watch. Not this time. "Supergator" is sloppy and substandard, even for its genre. It's possible the already low budget was cut during production as several of the early to mid-film special effects are almost non-existent; they consist of extreme, indistinguishable close-ups. In a pink bikini, Holly Weber is most arousing. We see more of the alligator, later.** Supergator (7/14/07) Brian Clyde ~ Brad Johnson, Bianca Lawson, Kelly McGillis, Holly Weber

I'm sorry guys, but if you didn't like this movie (Why is it not called Dinocroc II? Because they used gator DNA!) you shouldn't be watching the Sci Fi Channel. We've got a reasonable scenario, a scary beastie (near-decent CGI), and babes galore (most of whom, excepting Misses Lawson (Carla) and Stiefvater (Alex), you've likely never seen before and may not again) with so much gore I can't see how it avoided an "R".The Supergator has gotta be the hungriest critter ever to have graced the silver screen, on in this case the boob tube. First it eats a pair of lovers who threaten to do "it" in front of the waterfall, but don't, take a swim instead, and become gator nosh anyway. Then with a swooping leap it eats a fey photog, and follows him up with a toothsome (pun) model. Next (or maybe not) he eats a couple of hiker chicks who though warned (Hey, this is Hawaii, there are no wild animals), mosey on toward the waterfall and .... Then there are the two skinny, drunken entrepreneur wannabes, chomp, while their fat friend runs away. The fat friend encounters the other model who fled the photo-shoot (and whom you thought escaped -- Ha!). They hide in a mango (or is a banyan) root maze until... yep, super-gator tea time. I don't know if this was actually shot in Hawaii, but it absolutely was not shot in Bulgaria.Our heroes, the vulcanologist, Dr. Scott Kinney (Brad Johnson) and his crew climb the side of the long dormant, now gurgling, volcano and meet up with the paleo-geneticist (Kim Taft, who invented Supergator) and her white hunter, on the prowl to recover (like, terminally) the incredible creature (maybe we could call him Edipus Rex?). Scott's obnoxious student assistant goes off over the hill to reset a camera, and darned if he doesn't lose one fall out of one to the monster.Both teams flee back to the waterfall lagoon where their boats are, and as Scott's two female associates, Carla and Alex, start to head back downriver to warn the town of the impending eruption, they **fall out of the boat**! Scott saves Carla and Alex is helped by Kim (played by Kelly McGillis) -- Kelly McGillis whom we all love from "Cat Chaser." If you don't know why we love her from "Cat Chaser," go rent the movie. Oh, she gets et. Dr. Scott and the white hunter take off by boat to whack the creature, and the two girls (Carla and Alex) take off on foot to warn the town. They catch a ride with some jerk who stalls his jeep just as the super-gator intersects their course. Cameo appearance for our driver. The women flee on foot, only Alex doesn't flee quite quickly enough, and "another one bites the dust. Another one bites the dust."The crews, or what's left of them, make it back to town where the festival luau is about to go down (you might think of this as homage to "Jaws" except it's used in every one of these things). The volcano has quieted, but we still gotta warn the crowd that there's a prehistoric monster running amok. Since no one pays attention the super-gator eats the park manager and several patrons, actually I lost count, on his way to destruction. I won't tell you how, but you can figure it out about 15 minutes before hand. It's a gas.In the epilogue Scott and Carla go off laughing about their experiences, which I found in quite poor taste. I mean, I was laughing, but the characters shouldn't be. Then there are the obligatory pictures of the Kileuea lava flow, which I don't get.

Ten minutes in I was wondering if the National Organization of Women was still around; want to apprise them of this film--in ways that frequently clench my teeth continuous reduction of women to cheesecake in order to generate men's interests. Maybe shouldn't be too hard of the filmmaker(s); they did throw in token smart gal, who's also token the black and 50+ normal looking Kelly McGillis; both serving to placate women who would get mad if not for their presence. Well neither worked for a certain 40 plus black woman. God again wish there was a minus rating scale. Few films in my life have I seen women horribly relegated to the ranks of gorgeous but mindless scenery. Wouldn't be surprised a pervert was a major participant in the production of this tripe. Majority of women are showing bare midriffs and in brief thongs and screaming fear these babes (and dullard chauvinists littering the film a little less) takes away from developing the story above a Girls Gone Wild eatery for monster with male eaten to cover up the obvious. It takes place in fun in sun Hawaii--we know. Do we need that overly long scene of fashion photographer working on his ideas with bikini gals? No! Thank God the token black was also the token girl dressed modestly. Sadly she's the only one attempting carrying the film--granted coming of as a precocious little girl but everyone in this acts immature--even the actress as the deviating female; no one's acting.And finally that super-grating supergator, what does this writer think of him? Well just said it--Grating. EAT in blur, first EATING chomp spurts blood, run after hapless victims to EAT--There's no rudimentary problem solving, no cleverly out-thinking prey! And the people don't think of a way to get it dead that's imaginative--Solution's straight from 1st Jaws movie as is the opening scene setting up the storyline.There, my long warning and here's my final shorter one. Avoid this.
