Summary: Crocodile Hunter- Collision Course
Review: I LOVE this movie! Lots of action and a great storyline! A "must see" for any Croc Hunter fan.All crocodile scenes are filmed with real live crocs!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Crikey,This Movie Is Terrible.
Review: This is one of the stupidest movies ever.It is the exact same thing as the TV show,only mixed in with a stupid plot about the CIA trying to get a metal ball that they need out of the crocodile that the crocodile hunter is taking somewhere else.Take out the CIA scenes,and this movie is exactly like the TV show you could have watched at home on TV for free instead of driving up and wasting money.Hope this review helped.

Peace.

Summary: Good movie on the whole,a bit less convincing than TV series
Review: As a sort of low-key action-adventure movie, this was pretty successful. The story was okay, never boring. As for the fictionalized characters, they were kind-of hit-and-miss, sometimes entertaining in a usually humorous way, sometimes just plain silly. The CIA operatives in Australia were ambiguous characters. It was hard to tell what degree of villainry to ascribe to each, which if any could be seen as non-villainous, and hard to completely buy into the movie's way of seeming to resolve those issues in the end. But if you don't care too much about that, their actions and contribution to the story are watchable. The fat rancherwoman was a sometimes hilarious but sometimes stupidly overplayed character, but on the whole a passable contribution to the story. As for Steve and Terri Irwin, they were their usual selves, doing what they do best. It seemed like their adventures were on the whole a bit less authentic than in their TV series, but maybe that's in part because such lack of authenticity is what we so often expect from movies. The one time I thought most strongly I was seeing something I would never expect Steve Irwin to do in real life was when he used the snake he was relocating to scare off the pursuer being dragged behind his truck. That's just not how I would expect him to treat the animals. But then in his regular show I've never seen a time when he had any such need to fend off a human pursuer. His utter naivety to the fact that someone other than poachers was pursuing him and Terri was mostly funny, but began to get a little old. Still on the whole I found this a worthwhile adventure movie, with mostly credible episodes of what Steve and Terri really do, well integrated into it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun time
Review: I saw this movie with my husband and daughter and we all had a really great time. The photography was great and I liked the plot. Steve and Terri were just doing what comes naturally to them. It was so nice to be able to watch a movie with no foul language and no blood and gore. By the way, did anyone else catch Wes Mannion's part in the movie?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Intresting Movie
Review: Not bad, not bad at all. I found this movie to be quite intresting, the way Steve had the guts to handle (and somtimes fight) those dangerous animals. It's quite a risky business, and it's true, it's not like in other movies where they fool around with the computer and so on. Here it's Steve in action.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: More Steve, Please
Review: I'm a self-proclaimed Amish man because I, unlike many others, it seems, do not have cable television. It doesn't bother me much, though, because most of what we see on TV is reality garbage anyway, and isn't worth my time. But movies, well, that's a difference story. I'm a maniac, and I take in as many as I can. (Six in the past seven days, actually.) And though I don't watch cable regularly, I have caught Steve's show now and again, and I absolutely love it.

I saw this movie for one reason: I'm told that I'm not a bad mimmicker--if that's a word--and I have an especially good "Crocodile Hunter" impersonation. Me, I don't see it, but I do it often enough and wanted to see the film just because it looked interesting.

I found myself staring up at the ceiling during a lot of the Hollywood-added material. The acting was bland and the story was weak, and the characters were especially hooky. But as soon as I heard that thick Aussie accent, I sat up and watched in amazement, hoping that the subplot would be abandoned and we'd see more Steve. Unfortunately they were persistent, and we had to see more Hollywood and less Crocodile Hunter. It's a shame.

What I came to see, I liked, however, and though I knew of the subplot, I paid the money anyway. I'm glad to hear that the money will be going not to Hollywood, but to an organization the Crocodile Hunter supports, and I hope there's a sequel. Yes, you read correctly: a sequel. (I hate them and don't ever ask, but this is one I'd like to see.) But there's a catch: drop the CIA and the guns and let's see more Steve and more adventure. That's what we all wanted, isn't it?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Crocs Not Only Rule, They Rock n' Roll!
Review: If you're a fan of the ever enthusiastic Steve Irwin, aka Crocodile Hunter, then this is a film for you! My 10 year old loves Steve & thinks of him as her hero. (I admit it! I watch the shows even when she's not around!) So when the movie came out,we viewed it on the first day. It was pure delight whenever Steve, his lovely wife Terri, and the crocs were on camera. The plot is thin, but how thick do you need it to be? Rated PG, we both found the only offensive language to be thanks to the addition of the CIA? actors and it was not necessary. I am not sure if non Steve-O fans could appreciate the humor he brought to the film.But I loved the line about where a guy doesn't want to get bite by a Brown snake. Three Thumbs Up!(me, myself & I)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: AN HOUR AND A HALF TV SHOW
Review: This is a cute ,fun ,educational family movie.With a strong pro-envermental message.The Irwins are doging what they do best there tv. show .Which may have made it a better movie if they whould of just stuck too there show routin -the story although amusing is pretty weak with poor acting.The Irwins are rescuing the Aussie wild life-in a were taping a live show fasion:When they are called off too relocate a lg .croc.So with there spider,snake,joey and of course there dog intow there off too save the day.Unfortunetly - The U.S gov sent agents looking for a downed peice of satalite:Which the croc just so happened too swallow.The crocs problems are compounded by a shoot gun toting female rancher.The croc gives Steve a bit of fight -but that isnot what really bothers him-it's those poachers in suits that are really getting under his skin.Who as the veiwing audence knows are just a couple of U.S goverment buffoons.With all the sillyness the movie doesn't loss track with what appears too be it's reall goal education. I must admit I thought for sure Paul Hogan was making a cameo in this somewhere.Oh yah and Terri-gets too show off her arms-when she is cuttling a joey too keep it warm awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This was a croc
Review: I gave the movie one star only because I like steve. Honestly I thought the movie was horrible. I love the series on animal planet so I decided to take my girlfriend to see the movie. After an hour into the movie we left. There was no funny parts that I can recall. I was absolutly amazed by the lack of truley humorous parts in the movie. The only way anyone would enjoy this movie was if they got drugged up before they watched it. Then I still don't know if they would like it. I was very dissapointed but they can't all be good.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I think the binoculars have picked up the Discovery Channel!
Review: This line from the movie is an apt description of this funny, family-oriented movie. Steve and Terri are doing the "wild thing", that is, saving spiders and snakes and baby kangeroos in the Outback while a spy satellite falls to Earth and a crocodile swallows the camera with top secret film.
The CIA sends spies to recover the camera while Steve and Terri try to relocate the croc away from "poachers." The resulting mix-up is funny and easy to watch.
Steve looks like he's having a great time doing what comes naturally. Terri seems ill at ease but tries her best. In the scene when she takes off her shirt to warm the "joey", you can tell she is in terrific shape. Perhaps she should write a fitness book.
It's light-hearted entertainment for people of all ages.
