carlvistisen At the world expo in Shanghai Denmark chose the little mermaid to be the representative of Denmark and Danish culture. This was a mistake! A mistake only comparable to the Danish military effort during the battles in 1864. Reptilicus is not only the best danish movie ever made, but also the greatest thing ever to be made in Denmark. The reasons why it was no exhibited at the expo remains unknown for surely even a simpleton would be able to see the greatness of this movie. To label this as a movie is inaugurate for this is not only art, this is the product of the human race, all lives lived led to this movie. Reptilicus represents more than just perfection, it represents hope, that in our otherwise meaningless and painful existence there is meaning. Reptilicus is the lighthouse that with a beacon of hope shines in the fog of existence. You can simple not make movie without inspiration from Reptilicus whether it is a conscious decision or not.

felicemvirum That it is hilarious. Has to be one of the worst special effects efforts ever.

beetle-259-554148 Reptilicus, Denmark's sole offering to the vast world of giant monster movies!!!This movie had the potential to be a frightening movie as our monster could lead to a disaster of GLOBAL proportions! THe reason for this is because Reptilicus can regenerate in a way that if his arm is blown off, not only will he grow a new arm the arm will grow a new Reptilicus!! This means that if Reptilicus is blown to bits, each individual piece will actually grow into a new monster!Reptilicus cmes to be when a section of his tail is found frozen in the mountains and is brought a science lab in Copenhagen. Various screw-ups including a heavily-fatigued scientist, a dim-witted lab assistant, and a power failure cause the tail to thaw out and grow into our titular monster!The scene where Reptilicus breaks out of the lab is extremely suspenseful and kept me on edge due to it happening during a raging thunderstorm!The monster, however, isn't that great.... the footage of him is very grainy and seems to move at 7 frames per second. There is a scene where he eats a farmer and it's a hilariously bad blue-screen effect.Definitely watch this! It's on Netflix by way of the revival series of Mystery Science Theater 3000 so as long as you don't mind a man and two robots riffing on the movie while you watch, give it a go!

Edgar Soberon Torchia An original title may be the only saving grace of "Reptilicus", but somehow it works subliminally on one's head... I can't forget the beast's expressions, there are at least two shots in which it has a strange sad grimace, although the origin of this creature is so weird that one can hardly develop sympathy or any other kind of emotion for it, as it often happens with film monsters. The character of the American general is not a very pleasant fellow, but the filmmakers put the weight of 70% of their movie on his shoulder, since the engineer does not do much and the professor is not only too old but also a cardiac patient... Then there is a bit of comic relief, two daughters that add nothing to the plot, a little travelogue of Copenhagen, a musical number, two different scores, and beautiful Miss Germany 1958 playing the leading lady in the American version. No more choices. Strange bad film, but somehow unforgettable. Maybe it has to do with poor Reptilicus. When I see things like this, that needed more than its two-cent budget I wonder why they made it.
