Reviews
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
gavin6942 Australian outback expert (Paul Hogan) protects his New York love (Linda Kozlowski) from gangsters who have followed her down under.Whether this film is better than its predecessor is a matter of debate. Unlike other series where one film is clearly better than another, people seem to be split on this one. But only half of them are right: this film is better than the first one.Why? Because there is more action, and there is a lot more humor. The suicide jumper, the gang, Leroy Brown, the addition of the aborigines... this movie sucks you in where the first one could not. Not to say the first was bad, but it had Mick far too preoccupied with romance when he should have been getting into more shenanigans. Here the romance is just assumed and plays no major part in the plot.
videorama-759-859391 Croc 2 is passable, but terribly disappointing, where this time, we're granted a bit more screen time in the outback, in vice versa mode to it's original, where somehow it felt a little bit disjointed, if almost slowing to a halt in many areas or coming across as just amateurish, and this is mainly when our notorious icon is back down under. Journalist (Kozlowski) has stumbled onto something big in the drug empire, or has shot too much. She's kidnapped by a Columbian drug-lord, Juan Fernandez, who better for the role, as we've seen him real slimy scum sucking other roles. When she's freed by her Croc man, and a little help by not the savoriest of entourages, she's faced with a choice of testifying against Mr Bad, or go to back to the outback and lead the mice to the cheese. It's when Hoges and his woman return to Oz, does the real movie take begin, with the baddies hot on their trail, aided by some unscrupulous ocker types. Here it is, where Hoges really works his magic, with his crafty tricks, luring the baddie in, one by one, aided by snappy dialogue, where here there are slow and stupidly inactive moments, like the chasm baddie hostage scenes, that come off as terribly dull, where really the action was better earlier in New York. The comedy is there but it's more scarce in a sequel that sadly doesn't gel, ans it's too uneven and lacks the chemistry and ingredients that made the original such an 86' hit.5.5/10
lagudafuad After the success of the first Crocodile Dundee the producers and the story writer Paul Hogan went to work to make another movie two years after the first and named it Crocodile Dundee II. The problem with this Crocodile Dundee is that the movie feels like it is being shoved down your throat and the whole thing looks coins the phrase, "We have seen it all before". The movie wasn't half bad it just had no point everything that happened practically had no purpose, and when something has no purpose it is just a waste.The acting here is no better than the first, but now that we are all familiar with the Dundee charm, the writers decided to take him back to outback Australia so that we can see the bushman in him. This was suppose to bring in more action like adventure into the whole movie package, but what it just did was fill up so many minutes with unrealistic action scenes that you feel like fast forwarding to the whole thing.The comedy here was out of sync; the whole idea of pairing Dundee with a Colombian drug lord and making the drug lord and his men look like just pure miscreants is not my idea of a well thought out antagonist. The movie lacked a lot of life and the makers decided to do a reverse, the setting started out in New York City then Dundee and Sue went to Australia a familiar turf for Dundee while he dealt with the bad guys.The movie plot is about our duo love birds Dundee (Paul Hogan) and Sue (Linda Kozlowski) who get mixed up with a Colombian drug lord, who had his picture taken when he killed someone by Sue's ex husband. The ex then sent the film to Sue and the drug dealer found out then kidnapped Sue, all for him to find out that Dundee had the film.Now Dundee has to find a way to stay alive and save the love of his life.The movie was not a critical success but it was a huge commercial success, the $15.8 million production cost brought in over $239 million dollars, and it kept the Dundee name on our lips for a while, and making Hogan richer. But then the producers felt like milking the franchise some more so 13 years later in 2001 a new Dundee film was done starring also Hogan and Kozlowski, the new film failed both critically and commercially.So after you are done watching the first Crocodile Dundee you may be tempted to see this misfit, so if you get the chance maybe you should. If you don't get that chance, use your time for something more productive.www.lagsreviews.com
Aaron1375 Yes, this is one of those sequels that came out rather quickly following the surprise success of its predecessor. Usually when they release a film so quickly they either literally had a script lined up and ready to film, or they make almost the same film only changing this and that around. Well this movie was most certainly the latter, however, I thought they did a pretty good job. The first film went from out of place person in Australia to out of place person in New York and this one does the opposite. Which I liked, cause I thought the Australia scenes of the first film were more entertaining than yet another film set in the most overshot city in the world New York. Sorry, I have seen it quite enough on the big screen. They do a good job of finding a reason for Crocodile and the love of his life to have to return to the outback as a drug dealer is on their heels and what better place to go than to a place Crocodile knows like the back of his hand and the people pursuing them do not know at all. Still, there is a lot of sameness to this one as some of the same jokes are recycled which happens a lot in comedy sequels even today. Still, it was an okay film, a lot like the first film if you were to watch it backwards.
