Roger Corman makes entertaining movies, and he's made several giant monster movies for the sci-fi channel. Out of them all, this follows his classic style the most, including not so good special effects.
The classic style that didn't work includes the monster not showing itself, lots of people shots that are just fillers, and slow story development.
The special effects croc is a joke. It has no believability to its character.
This is a cheesy movie what people expect from a borderline B movie. Since this was first in line of many of this type of movies to come, it may have had budget problems. In any case, the movie itself was successful, and spawned many different super beast movies. The later productions has much better quality.
I couldn't warm up to this movie, and this is not one of the best of super monster series that came from Roger Corman's production.
