Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
wes-connors Peaceful "Lake Placid" in Maine suffers from a new series of missing persons. As the opening scene confirms, they are being eaten by giant crocodiles. Informed about the latest incident, wavy-haired blond sheriff John Schneider (as James Riley) jokes about the carnage. After seeing the remains of a victim, Mr. Schneider takes environmentally-conscious blonde girlfriend Sarah Lafleur (as Emma Warner) and EPA man Robert Blush (as Frank Mills) out to investigate. They find a severed head and decide to ask eccentric old Cloris Leachman (as Sadie Bickerman) about giant man-eating crocodiles...Meanwhile, Schneider's handsome young son Chad Collins (as Scott), reluctantly staying with dad for a month due to a custody arrangement with his ex-wife, goes out looking to meet pretty blonde Alicia Ziegler (as Kerri). She's with a generally annoying group of college-aged friends; as such, they will presumably be crocodile bait. The men are weighty, but the women look good getting topless. Interestingly, the sexiest scene belongs to Ms. Lafleur, shot lovingly as she gets in an out of the water wearing a black bikini; it's early in the movie. Also around is hunter Sam McMurray (as Jack Struthers)...Continuity from the first "Lake Placid" (1999) is represented by Ms. Leachman, who plays the sister of Delores Bickerman. Betty White, who played Delores in the earlier movie, appears in a photograph. More Bickermans will appear in "Lake Placid 3" (2010). This silly story may frighten very young children, but most everyone else will laugh. Leachman is scarier than the crocodiles. Superfluous is Mr. McMurray and his subplot with slavish Joe Holt (as Ahmad). Schneider, the former "Dukes of Hazzard" hunk, director David Flores and most of the characters play with knowing bemusement.*** Lake Placid 2 (4/28/07) David Flores ~ John Schneider, Chad Collins, Cloris Leachman, Sarah Lafleur
Chase_Witherspoon A sequel and a remake, but inferior in every respect to the original. The two best recognized performers in this installment (Schneider – of "Dukes of Hazzard" fame – and Leachman, a once serious actress) are also the greatest shames. Schneider is a carbon copy of Bill Pullman's easy-going, water of a croc's back authority figure, while Leachman is essentially the same character as Bette White (in fact she's supposed to be her equally quirky sister). There's nothing new in the storyline, and no surprises with the climax.LaFleur is enigmatic and as equally alluring as Bridget Fonda in the original, but her character is less dynamic, without the eccentricities that made Fonda's character so appealing. Still, she's definitely a big tick in terms of talent for the male audiences. Schneider has the best of the conceited dialogue, and there's an occasional chuckle-worthy line to make you think you're not wasting valuable minutes of your life.Unfortunately, there's a lot of misery in this misfire – sagging momentum, stilted continuity, drab score, amateur acting and staging, pretentious dialogue and visible errors, and so it's surprising that it managed to secure the official sequel title, its predecessor, still regaled as a hallmark of the genre.
films20101 "Lake Placid 2", in my opinion, has to be one of the worst sci-fi films ever made on the face of the Earth. It is a waste of a person's time and money. As a matter of fact, I did get around to viewing the first "Lake Placid" movie that was made all the way back in the year of 1999. Personally, since it was, in fact a sci-fi horror/comedy flick, I thought it was okay. Definitely not perfect, but okay nonetheless. Now, why on Earth anyone would ever want to make a sequel to it is just beyond me. The biggest regret I've ever made in my life is watching it on the Sci-Fi Channel on TV because I wanted to check it out. Boy, was I ever stupid to waste 1 hour and 30 minutes of my life that I'll never get back.Here are my "Top 5" reasons why this movie, "Lake Placid 2" was so bad and should not be worth viewing.1) The actors. The acting is so atrocious, it's not even funny. Hell, why would you even put John Schneider in a movie like this? He didn't give a very good performance either as did all the other lame and pathetic actors in this movie.2) The plot. The plot is so unoriginal, it's been done so many times in other movies already. This is it: "A local sheriff must stop four crocodiles from wreaking havoc on a small town." 3) The special effects. They try to make the crocodiles look like gigantic dinosaurs in this movie. Believe it, right into the beginning, one of the crocodiles is able to pull a man off a boat and right into the water. Then, when the man's friend tries to help pull him back up, the crocodile comes in and eats him completely, just leaving out his arm and leg. So, basically, he eats the guy in just one bite. Give me a freakin' break! 4) The action. Now, don't get me wrong. A lot of people do get eaten and killed by the crocodiles in this movie, but overall, there's very little action throughout and it can also get boring very quickly.5) The filmmakers. These people have done such a poor job on this movie, that not only did they embarrass the actors, but they also embarrassed themselves. Especially the director and writers of this movie. The dialogue was very corny, and sometimes I found myself having to turn up the volume because I couldn't hear a word they were saying. Hell, even the director was making decisions of his own in this movie. It seems that every 5 or 10 minutes that pass in the movie, after someone has already got eaten by the crocodiles, then another person does, and then after that, another person gets eaten. So, it's like a pattern where all the people get killed first and then the crocodiles get killed second. Good lord! So, these are my 5 reasons why "Lake Placid 2", in my opinion, is one of the worst sci-fi movies ever made. I seriously do not know what these people were thinking when they made this miserable pile of crap. And get this, you think it's bad enough that they already did one sequel to the first "Lake Placid", they freakin' made another one, "Lake Placid 3" in 2010! And that one has also been getting bad reviews just like this one. I'm not even going to attempt to watch that one, knowing how bad the people have been saying it is. Do yourself a favor, and just watch the first "Lake Placid", and not any of the other poorly bad-made sequels.
jamesluckyperson 'This' film' disappointed' me! 'What' happened' to' ten stars? 'Down' the toilet now! 'This' film was only' good for' naked' woman' and their breasts!'That's the' only reason' why people' like 'to' see these films! Not' for the' 'croc for' the breasts' 'of' women! Now come' on' I'm a strict' critic' they've got' to stop' doing these' type of films. Now focus on the' movie at' hand! This' 'film was forgettable and' bad. Don't be' making' 'a' dull' film here! 'What happened' with the first' film was awesome! Now' they went' to just' naked women. There 'is' a scene' where' a bikini' girl is snatched by' the crocodile! Come on' this film' overall' is 'terrible' don't see it!
