Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This is another case where I politely beg to disagree with most of the critics (and many viewers) I found this film to be very entertaining and quite well made. It has a passable story and screenplay, half decent acting and direction. It also has excellent sound, good special f/x and nice cinematography. It does look a lot like a made for TV movie, but I do not find that so sinful as to warrant excommunication...It is certainly not a masterpiece, but a professionally made, solid motion picture that provides what is usually called a 'guilty pleasure' type of entertainment. After all, we are supposed to have fun at the movies aren't we?

Attempting to tread a fine line between two different types of film, Primeval is a misguided, but nonetheless kind of fun movie. On the one hand, it wants to be an 'issues' movie, dealing with warlords, child soldiers and western apathy towards violence in central Africa. On the other, it also wants to have a massive great big crocodile running around trying to eat the guy from Prison Break. It's not bad, but while these two separate strands never really gel there's still some entertainment to be had. Provided of course you can look past the incredibly tasteless joke about the slave trade. The film concentrates on Dominic Purcell's news journalist who gets sent off to Burundi to document the search for 'Gustave,' a legendary croc who has chalked up over 300 human victims during his years prowling the river banks. He's accompanied by a British Steve Irwin a-like, Orlando Jones as the "please don't get him" cameraman, a slumming it Jurgen Prochnow, a token female and several dozen expendable locals and together, they trek into the bush to hunt Gustave down. They're also given a few warnings about 'Little Gustave,' a vicious renegade soldier whose private army are responsible for all manner of atrocities in the region. But hey it'll be okay right? They've got a machine gun strapped to the roof...Needless to say, things go badly. There's all manner of carnage to be had as Gustave begins ripping people to shreds and trigger happy teenagers with AK-47s go on the warpath. By the time the credits roll, just as many people have been machine-gunned as eaten by Gustave and Purcell looks like he can't wait to get back to a nice, comfy cell in San Quentin where he only has to deal with corrupt guards and shankings every day. Taken simply as an old-fashioned adventure movie it's not bad and there's certainly fun to be had when the limbs start to get torn loose. The attempts at dealing with the bigger picture though fall flat. It's apparently "inspired by true events," but aside from the fact there genuinely is a crocodile named Gustave in Burundi, that's about as far as the realism goes. Hotel Rwanda this ain't. However if you want a movie where a great big scaly beast eats people every ten minutes you can't go wrong. You'll have a hard time remembering any of the characters names when the time comes to type up the review though.

TV show star reporter Tim Manfrey and his cameraman Steven Johnson travel to Burundi to get sensational footage of a giant crococilian monster, which attacked a UN identification team.And the Tutsi-Hutu tribal civil war carnage mass grave corpses it was digging up in a Great Lakes marsh area. But it turns out danger also lurks in the armed form of a local war lord...What you have to realise first is that this isn't a slasher film about a killer crocodile. What it is is Orlando Jones being as annoying as he ever has been, and some truly dodgy special effects.It's also has Jurgen Prochnow as an eccentric poacher, so that equation adds up to a terrible time with the movie.The makers try and make it controversial Abby adding some apartheid issues in the mix, but I really feel that this wouldn't hit the target audience, until they watch something with some stature, like Hotel Rwanda.Purcell is okay, but he cannot save this stinker.

Gustave is a 30 foot crocodile who has killed hundreds of people in Africa.A news team is willing to help some people lure and capture the killer croc before it gets them.Basically, that's the movie's plot, and it didn't disappoint me.Many people didn't like this movie because they thought the movie was just about a killer and not a killer crocodile when they watched the trailer.If you get past the major differences between the trailers and the movie itself, you may actually enjoy this movie.There's also some pretty good special effects and a boatload of graphic violence and gore.Give this movie a shot if you can handle the brutality of the violence and the fact that the movie is not revolved around a human.It's revolved around a giant crocodile, so get used to it.Orlando Jones is also in this movie, and his character was quite pleasing.
