Summary: More fun and nobody killed!
Review: I loved this movie! It's a good natured romp with Steve & Terri Irwin, their crocs,(who really seem to get into the whole thing) 2 clueless CIA agents, one very large and very annoyed farmer, and other assorted Aussies.
This is a great family movie, and manages to give everyone some good laughs, and entertainment, without sex, foul language,or mayhem of any kind. The action sequences with the crocs are especially fun, and very exciting, since it's all real--- no stuntmen or computer graphics! I also thought Steve's straight faced mock-umentary running commentary about the "poachers" during the chase sequence especially funny.
And of course, their passionate dedication to animal conservation shines through the film. I heartily recommend this movie to anyone and everyone who loves animals! The money goes to their wonderful Zoo, and other conservation projects, so not only are you well amused, you get to help their animals as well. Who can ask for more? I can't wait for the DVD release!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A movie-length Croc Hunter episode!
Review: I really enjoyed this movie. Yes, it's a bit silly but that's what makes it fun. It doesn't take itself too seriously but still gets across Steve & Terri's passion for animals and conservation. If you like the Crocodile Hunter and Crocodile Hunter Diaries you should enjoy this film.

Why, if I like it so much, do I only give it 4 stars? I'm trying to be fair - it's a good movie but certainly not a great movie. I don't feel that giving it 5 stars would be realistic. Do I recommend it? Yes, especially if you have kids (although adults will enjoy it as well). Do I hope it's a success? Yes again. I hope it makes lots of money to help support the Irwins' ongoing support of wildlife conservation and preservation.

Summary: Crikey Review
Review: Being a big fan of the Crocodile Hunter, I loved this movie!!
One of the great things of this movie is that it's great for all
ages. Like the Crocodile Hunter would say is that the beauty of the film is that everything is real and is right up with you. I was ethusiastic about all parts of the movie but one of my most favorite parts was when Steve Irwin got on the car and started to fight the CIA agent!! LOL!!! Those funny times!! Then there was also the part when he calmed down the biggest snake in Austrailia!! WOO!! It was amazing!!!!! I th ink the biggest reason that this movie is great was because of Steve Irwin himself!! Well I hope I convinced you into buying this great film!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Crikey! This is actually pretty good!
Review: With the popularity of his documentaries, its probably inevitable that Hollywood would give Steve "The Crocodile Hunter" Irwin his own feature film. I've always enjoyed his TV show, but when I first heard about this movie I immediately thought it would be a surefire bomb. Well, when I finally got around to seeing this I was pleasantly surprised.
The plot centres around a missing satellite beacon being tracked by the CIA. The only problem is that it has landed in Queensland, Australia and one of Irwin's crocs has swallowed it; in addition to trying to locate and save the croc, Steve, his wife Terri and their dog Suey find themselves up against some nasty poachers.
While some may be put off by Steve's non stop gabbing, you can't help but get caught up in his enthusiasm for his work, resulting in a film that is both fun and educational (that's one word I've never used in a review before). There are also some genuine hair raising thrills and chills that make Indiana Jones look like a wimp; although a minor portion of it is obviously choreographed for entertainment value. But this is a great family film. Actually it will appeal to any age group. Keep your eyes peeled for an amusing cameo from President Dubya.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Watchable, But Plot Seems a Little Forced
Review: I love Steve Irwin's Crocodile Hunter show and completely respect what he does for wildlife, but this movie was really lacking substance. I felt like I was watching outtakes of the Crocodile Hunter. My biggest complaint: taking a great show and trying to make it into a 90 minute movie. It comes out looking rather absurd because it tries to press this idea that somehow a crocodile in Austrailia is going to eat a intelligence satellite that has fallen from space and that the FBI is going to track the Irwins for withholding classified government information.
I realize that this idea is far-fetched on purpose and only for entertainment value, but still, most of the dialogue seems spoonfed and inane. Personally I think that they should have just taken the show and made a long documentary and released it onto video.

There are several positives to the movie: Steve Irwin and the extras on DVD. Steve Irwin is always fun to watch; his goofy and outlandish wisecracks and antics kept me attentive to the film. Whether he is talking about a deadly venomous spider from Austrailia, running down and trying to catch a lizard to show the audience, or trying to track down a crocodile, he is always entertaining to watch. The DVD gives you some of the extras like behind the scenes footage of the stunts from the movie, a few outtakes, as well as 10 deleted scenes that did not make it into the movie. For this reason, I suggest if you are purchasing this movie to get the DVD over the VHS.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: How I thought of the movie.
Review: I thought that it was a movie alot like his shows that he has, I really think that he should make some more movies that are like his shows. I would seriously love to meet him. My brother is a snake hunter. He catches snakes,views them, and releases them back where they came from, safely. He got me catching wild creatures too, I really love animals and would do anything, even if it means injuring and/or taking my life to save an animal. I would just love to meet Steve and Terri Irwin, if you have any way I would be able to meet them please e-mail me at, sonyastar2002@yahoo.com
Thanks and I loved the movie alot. It is great.

Summary: don't see this
Review: wow, what can I say about this movie. I was forced to see this movie by my little brother, and all I can say is that this movie was terrible! I felt like I was locked in a prison and being tortured! This movie should of gone straight to video. The entire movie's plot had nothing to do with Steve Erwin, other than the fact that he happens to stumble along the satelite info. near the end of the movie. The rest of the movie, it just shows Steve and Terri finding animals, and some CIA agent looking for the satellite. It was more like the t.v. show than anything else. If you have younger kids that watch the show, than you should get this for them. But if you don't, than this is not the movie for you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I really thought this was fun!
Review: I love Steve and Terri Irwin and their tv shows and I really liked this film! It was vintage Steve and I did feel like I was watching the tv show because I felt all the excitement of the animal captures yet in film, not video. It gave it a richer quality. I felt as if Steve and Terri were not acting, they were being themselves. This is a great family film and I highly recommend it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Take it for what its worth! GOOD FAMILY FUN
Review: Steve and Terri are the best. Maybe its a little crazy to risk your life to save animals...BUT should we all have a passion to be so enthusiastic about. At least he is contributing something to the world..with so many species endangered. Of course any intelligent person would realise that NOT ALL Australians act this way, so hey Aussie cousins "lighten up and chill out". This is a good fun movie for kids and you learn a little something about caring for animals. I borrowed the movie from a friend and now buying the DVD for my kids. Sure there is no deep plot, or the greatest acting...but come on...everything doesnt have to be heavy and deep to just be good plain fun. Steve and Terri you guys ROCK!! -- Tamu

Rating: 1 stars
