Reviews:
“As well as the title creature, there are a couple of interesting ideas here, which mean the film doesn’t have to rely on just a big reptile for the entire 85-minute running time. That’s probably wise on a couple of levels, not the least of which is the poor quality of the CGI on the mega croc. It seems to have the shade and texture of a toy bought from a dollar store, and about the same degree of articulation.” Rating: C- Film Blitz
” …Mega Crocodile is actually entertaining in an odd sort of way. With subtitles that are stilted and full of typos, it’s one of those films that’s just so messed up that it’s fun. I’ll certainly take more like this over preachy epics like The Wandering Earth.” Voices from the Balcony
