Hey folks, Harry here... Somebody wrote me about my change in tone from the first teaser trailer intro and the first full length trailer for CROCODILE HUNTER. Well, I liked the teaser... didn't care for the full length theatrical. Two, I've had numerous conversations with victims that sat through a test screening back in April, when I had some major mail problems and lost several reviews that were sent in that I read that lamented the film as one of the worst pieces of pasty croc turds around. Here's one of the several reviews, and the first one recovered! I hope to get the others too...
Harry,
I just read your article (http://www.aint-it-cool.com/display.cgi?id=12444) on the latest Croc Hunter trailer. and I think the review you might have lost was mine. In the interest of saving someone else from loosing 90 minutes of their life I will re-send my original review....
"I saw a test screening of the summer's most anticipated movie last night(Late April) in Orange CA...
"NO not Star Wars...
"NO not Spider-Man...
"It was...
"The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course
"OK, I lied this piece of crap should never had been made. Those test screening bastards owe me 90 minutes of my life back.
"Let me say right here and now I am a fan of the TV show. I think the TV show has a great combination of action, suspense, education and humor.
"That being said the movie had all the charm of a boring 'National Geographic' type movie (the kind you were forced to watch in grade school) and was as painful as dry rectal exam. I actually saw 15-20 people walk out of the screening 30 minutes in to it. (I've never seen that happen before)
"Steve Irwin (Crocodile Hunter) and his wife, while charming and educational in 1/2 hour bites get annoying and repetitive (oh look he is wrestling a croc for the 5th, 6th and 7th times). The remaining actors (and I use the term loosely) leave much to be desired. I was not sure if the acting was intentionally bad (in some misguided effort to make the movie funny) or if they just went to the local adult education acting class and hired some of the students (wait that really isn't fair to adult education classes all over the world, they could probably act much better)
"All in all this movie was a waste of time, money, film, ect. This film should be taken to Australian outback and buried, the people who wrote the script, put the money up, directed, basically anyone who had something to do with this film should be shot and killed in the name of humanity. I doubt even Alan Smithee would put his name on this film."
Please get the word out don't let other wast 90 minutes of their lives like I did.
