The 6% that gave this film a lowly 2.
Yep, a measly 2. The mind boggles at the thought of people who would give this dross a 10!
1. Self-effacing irony is all well and good as long as it's funny. Otherwise it's like having a neon sign saying THIS FILM IS CRAP AND WE KNOW IT! LAUGH AT OUR CRAPPINESS!
2. Self-referencing is all well and good as long as it's CLEVER.
3. This film just sucks.
My main problem with this film is remarkably simple. When I watch a killer animal movie I expect a fair death count. Yep, simple minded it might be but if I was wanting intelligence I wouldn't be watching a film about a giant crocodile would I? Gimmie a decent sized death count and I'll forgive the painful attempts at humor, the factual inaccuracies and the plot holes (again I don't have high expectations of killer animal movies) but what's the grand total of deaths in this film??
I'm not going to tell you but take whatever estimate you might have, then think lower.
And ignore anyone who tells you that the film is gory. Their either lying or really really squeamish. Frankly there can't be much gore in a film with so few actual deaths.
This film is dumb, boring, unfunny (is that a word?), doesn't provide the requisite high body count for these movies, and the crocodile is perhaps the lamest most unthreatening predator ever CGI'd into existence. What else can you say about a killer animal that won't munch a guy one meter in front of it swimming in the water?? You're a crocodile for Christ sake, man in water, kill kill kill!
It gets two points. One for a moment that made me laugh (kinda). One for a highly amusing death. Two points, that's your lot.
