Load of rubbish!!
Billie Morin
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Blistering performances.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

If not for Corin Nemec playing his character a bit tongue in cheek and all the young bikini clad women this movie would have been a waste of time in my opinion. A rocket with nanobots crashes in to a zoo and the bots get released through a rupture in the container. They infect a salt water croc in the zoo and then begins a killing rampage to get the raw materials they need to turn the croc into an armored vehicle. An ugly, shop worn Dee Wallace turns up as the Fed lead when they track the crash. She is the originator of the bots and works against any containment or kill by using her personal computer. She places no value on human lives and many are lost including many GI's. All wants is field test on her invention. Her character represents all that is wrong with obsessed, prove it at any cost scientists. Thank God there seem to be only a few arouind in real life. Anyway the colonel in charge of the military finally has enough and tries to kill it. The electrify the water and stun/kill it but ugly old Dee restores it through her computer. The croc/bots escape the zoo area and goes into a city so the colonel calls on a Puff. The croc goes underground into the sewers. Jane, zoo biologist, discovers Wallace contacting the creature. Wallace throat chops her and goes into a building, leaving Jane gasping on the ground. Wallace goes in to the sewers to look for her pet creation. Jane has recovered and follows Wallace in the sewers. The colonel has been hit by the croc and as it returns to finish him he uses grenades on the croc, Jane pushes Wallace in front of the injured machine, Corin tosses the explosive charge in to the things craw and Wallace grabs it as the thing draws it back in to a tunnel. Bang the bitch and the croc die, I guess. I mean who knows with the way they do sequels nowadays. Lord I hope they don't with this one.

In this standard sub-par "Syfy" TV Movie, a water park called "Adventure Cove" is terrorized after debris from outer space causes a crocodile named "Stella" to turn robotic and attack people. Resident zoo-keeper Corin Nemec (as Jim Duffy), the man who brought "Stella" to the park, takes the heroic leading role. Newly hired marine biologist Lisa McAllister (as Jane Spencer) arrives, coincidently, to assist. Also appearing are sneaky scientist Dee Wallace (as Riley) and US military man Steven Hartley (as Montgomery). Already making the scene is Mr. Nemec's son Jackson Bews (as Rob). He may stand a chance with attractive Florence Brudenell-Bruce (as Sydney), who arouses with a bikini and other skimpy clothing. More fully dressed, Ms. Wallace is also fun to watch.**** Robo Croc (9/14/013) Arthur Sinclair ~ Corin Nemec, Lisa McAllister, Jackson Bews, Dee Wallace

Robocroc is one of those movies where you shouldn't expect too much from and had potential to be enjoyably daft. It has a great title, the scenery is quite nice(although the zoo doesn't really look much like one) and there are three quite good performances from Corin Nemec, Dee Wallace and Steven Hartley. Nemec has a lot of fun with his role and avoids becoming too much of a Steve Irwin clone, Wallace has a character that's ruthlessly evil and she relishes it and Hartley is wonderfully grizzled. Elsewhere in Robocroc, the movie, even when judging it for what it is, came across as rather messy from a personal perspective. The production values are a little drab- though there are much cheaper low-budget movies elsewhere- and the crocodile, who doesn't have much personality, looks more silly than menacing. The writing came across as cheesy and daft and not in a good way, I found myself either cringing in its banality, laughing out loud at how stupid some of it is and rolling your eyes at the cheesy tone it adopts. Some may find it enjoyably daft and light-hearted- and they're entitled to- and others won't, that's what opinions are for. The characters are not much more than underdeveloped clichés and despite the efforts of a few members of the cast are not easy at all to root for. And excepting Nemec, Wallace and Hartley the acting is not good at all, often of the dull-as-dishwater type and there is not much awareness of the situation or proper emotion. The story is the biggest problem, as said already it did judging from the title have potential to be daft in an enjoyable way. For this viewer though it was too dull to even be that. There is a severe lack of suspense. The premise is not much different from other "monster" SyFy movies and Robocroc doesn't do anything new with the formula at all, in fact it's all very predictable and at times confusingly structured as well. The pacing lacks momentum and the exposition scenes suffer from that and that they's rather talky and at times not always on-point. And sadly, the killings and the scenes with the crocodile, who isn't even introduced until half an hour in, are little better. The killings are not in the least bit suspenseful or fun- not helped by that they're not really shown- and the silliness becomes too much to really digest, very Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus-like. To conclude, Robocroc has a great title but apart from that, the scenery and three good performances it's pretty messy. SyFy have done far worse but that's not much consolation. 4/10 Bethany Cox

OK, so, we know that the writers of SyFy movies have a thing for tornadoes, sharks, crocodilians, cyborgs, and all manner of mythical monsters. They mix and match at will, things that go together, and those that don't. And they like those things to be big. They've given us things like Alien Tornado, Metal Tornado, Ice Twisters, Dinocroc, Supergator, Supergator vs Dinocroc, Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus, Megaconda, Crocogator, Mega Python vs Gatoroid, Ragin Cajun Redneck Gators, Dinoshark, Ghost Shark, Sharktopus, Sharknado, and the list goes on (I made up one of those movie names. Can you tell which one?).I try to rate SyFy movies fairly, only comparing them to other SyFy offerings, because, to be honest, they stand alone. I mean, you just have to sit back and laugh when a movie called Chupacabra vs The Alamo is shown. In that regard, I think Robocroc was above average. You've got your nanite-infested zoo crocodile that turns into metal and jumps through the air and chomps its way through a helicopter. What's not to like? You even get "robocroc view", seeing things through the robocroc's eyes, a la The Terminator ("Food Detected").My only problem at this point is that the writers of these things seem to be stuck in a loop they can't escape. They keep going over the same, well trodden ground. These movies are missing something basic; creativity. Where are the cool things we haven't seen before? Where are the space aliens? Ah well, with these budgets, I guess you can't be too fussy.So let us guess what will be next- I'm thinking Robocroc vs Sharkinator.
