Lake Placid: Legacy

Lake Placid: Legacy_360P

This movie I was looking forward to watch. I loved the first Lake Placid movie, and have seen all of them right before this one. I was expecting good CGI, fierce crocks and plenty of gore. Ohhh boy was I happy I had watched the others first, at least they HAD crocks, and story and CGI and plenty of gore. AND the movie is made in a part of the world where they at least can see crocks, South Africa has crocodiles, wild and in parks. The CGI in the movie are most likely made on a Amiga or Commodore computer. And the CGI dude clearly is not from South Africa, or he is blind and never seen a crocodile. SPOILER ALERT! This movie is not from Lake Placid and Black Lake, Lake Placid is mentioned one or two times in the movie, thats all. Some of the acting can be described as good, if your not too picky Some of the action can be called action, if you are 5 years old. Some of the Sci-Fi can be called, ohhh wait a minute, the plot is about something that happened 25 years ago, not sure if we can call it Sci-Fi then.. The horror might have been called horror 25 years ago. In the heading I said "Not bad", that's because it sounds better than "REALLY REALLY SUCKY MOVIE STAY AWAY" that I wanted to write after watching the first 40 mins. I have to give the movie one star, I just have to, or I cant write review, but there should be a - in-front. This is a really good candidate to my shame list "Movies to NEVER watch again"

I dont know how others can rate here so good. First of all, its clearly that the Movie had deffinetly really not a good Budget. So first they spared at the CGI Beast. Only for the last Parts for the Movie its to be seen, and there , everything is more then obvios CGI. There not even the wanted lower Resolution of UNDER DVD Quality could help to cover the computer animations. The only really wanted Graphical part ( close up ) really resultet a laugh out of me. The Actor move at the Bluescreen and the Computer graphic dont even fit half way. Including some other parts... all " Deaths" are already looking Joking cheap. Clearly to 95 % Movie Blood, and fitting dressed Puppets pushed into the scene as " Killed " Person. Even a Teen whould laugh there, how cheap and far from bit realistic that is done. Followed the Actors... Holy.... what the hell was there castet? Some Persons from Street with a maximum of 3 Days Actor training after? No one of them really get through a bit with their part. Best and funniest part was the non stop frightend Girl.. Hey... she reminded me as a copy of the small Girl from Jurassic Park 1. BUT only problem, she clearly mirrows there a under 12 ! year old child. And is herself clearly over 20.. . Best whould had been, to SAVE this Movie.. Make some not really story Importand Cuts ( in way of they maded them, its not even a waste to cut the " brutal " scenes out ) and give the Movie Free for PG 12! you whould loose not even 3 Minutes from the whole movie. Sorry, but even as direct for TV maded and Produced Movies, i saw already extreme much better productions.

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.

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

The movie wasn't all that bad for a rainy Sunday afternoon. Sure, there's quite some inconsistencies (when isn't there?) but in all the movie was good to watch. Perhaps I went in with the wrong expectations, because I believed it to be somehow like the other "Lake Placid" movies, but this one lacked what the others did have: Humor. Doesn't mean the movie is bad. The acting is good enough for this kind of movies, it's not too wooden. The CGI isn't as laughable as some others of these kind of movies. The story-line itself is seems to have a sense of logic (often lacking in other movies). But I missed the FUN, the camp. There was no laughing at the idiot bikini-clad blond bimbo's getting mauled to death. No big-mouthed football-player being shredded. There were no hunters with great one-liners. There wasn't someone remotely Betty White/Cloris Leachman-like...

After breaking into a secure facility, a group of eco-warriors looking to explore a supposedly abandoned island condemned as a radioactive hotspot find the area instead housing monstrous killer crocodiles left behind in a military experiment and must try to get off the island alive. This was a fine if entirely flawed entry in the series. What makes this one quite fun is the rather exciting action scenes that really give this one a nice shot of adrenaline at times. There's a lot of fun in the initial manner of attacks from the croc here, starting with the discovery of the wrecked campsite and torn-up bodies leading nicely into the rather thrilling attack on the lake where the creature takes the boat and drags the victim underwater while in front of everyone. The later attack in the underground tunnels where they first encounter them first the first time is a stylish briefer sequence, and a later charge through a tunnel in the bunker illuminated by a flare as it slowly stalks the victim is quite an atmospheric touch. The finale where it tracks the remaining survivors inside the flooded facility or a great encounter in a trapped room filled with flammable gas makes for some nice moments, and when aided along by the fiery confrontation on the beach gives this some solid croc action. As well, there's some nice work to be had with the central premise and story idea here, from the more modern feel of the government cover-up as for why they're going to the facility that's nicely played out here with some fun points used to build up their whole point about the island and what's potentially being conducted there. This plays out as quite believable in today's world and the is handled with enough minor points to keep it going along with what the company was doing that it maintains a credible enough premise to get them out there in the long run which is fine enough to work here, and when it's filled in later on it gives this a wholly intriguing premise. Added along with some nice gore in the kills it has enough to like to hold it up over its flaws. The biggest problem with the film is the fact that this one relies far more on idiocy and outright stupidity from the characters to keep going. This one here relies far more on the inability to recognize the danger they're in at the beginning, which is exemplified by the obvious body parts and other carnage found all over the island when they arrive which should've signalled something was wrong and yet the best they can come up with is that it's all a prank. That kind of thinking is just utterly ridiculous to see thinking it's all real is not all that smart. This one also struggles at times to get going, spending far too much time on the exploits of their journey in the underground bunker than getting in plenty of croc action so it's pacing is way too off from what came before in the franchise where it relief far more heavily on the killer croc action from the start which this one doesn't really do much here as it alleviates the tension rather than ratchet up the fun factor. Combined with the less-than-stellar CGI that always shows up in these films, it really does lower this one somewhat. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Language.

Rubbish movie and it's ain't the mistake of producer it's mine that I dared to watch it; what a wastage of time and money!
