I saw this movie title on SyFy just now. Thought to myself wow this can't be bad. Boy was I wowingly wrong (Couldn't be a word, yet but I think it will be) Story was good, effects and the writing of this were stupid.. I don't wanna say I hate the cast cause they were good. Its the writer/s and maybe Director... Alligator if it only looked like one. Or "Mutant Alligator". Now they say it's a pre-historic Alligator. Explain how old would it make this.. Alligator.. Explain how a FUEL INJECTED JEEP, made for outdoors playing dies just like that... When they have already a killed a girl in a bikini who was doing the right thing now moving and staying 'out of sight'. Her and Fatty still get found and ate. When they just saw Mr. big gator but yet how would they not hear him circle where they were..? It doesn't make sense.. Now the, blonde Dr. Lady has been demolished? Who wrote this garbage.. When you got a dumb hunter with a 'LITTLE' @$$ gun..... When he's seen this thing and knows how big and should know how strong it is.... BEING PRE-HISTORIC... BURT GOMER aka Michael Gross (Tremors I-IV)would have ROFLMAO... Well, there's your movie... You want me to write it fine. Contact me. But he's my star with some others 1 other star and couple other co stars. This movie could have been better just with a little more thought and talent.. Poor Graphics on this Gator... Anaconda is how old and its got better looking graphics for its snake... And this movie just keeps getting worse...

Girls in tiny bikinis and tight tank tops and cutoffs are what keeps SUPERGATOR halfway interesting. The gator, a mutant created from the DNA of a prehistoric creature, isn't half bad looking, either. The problem is, you have a bunch of actors (some of them clearly extras) running around, trying to escape a CGI creation that clearly is not there. Closeups of its (fiber glass) jaws chomping on cast members, with a lot of fake-looking blood flowing, doesn't really help. Anyhow, an aging Brad Johnson, who has appeared in far worse than this, plays a geologist checking out a volcano with the help of several folks, including a former student who is not much on acting but easy on the eyes. She spends a lot of time huddled in Johnson's massive arms. Meanwhile, a woman scientist and a great white hunter are out searching for the gator, which has escaped her lab. The two groups collide, and the gator has plenty to chow down on before heading for town. In the sames stretch of woods are two bikini-clad babes being photographed for a magazine, three young males who are busy getting blitzed and a pair of barely-clad female hikers who are frequently filmed from behind. I kept expecting one or more of the gals to take her top off or have sex or something, but nothing like this happens. On the other hand, the two bikini-clad babes do a lot of jumping up and down and running. At one point, one of them hides from the gator under a fallen tree and poses as if she were still being shot for a magazine cover. Believe me, I am not complaining. The film falls apart once the gator hits town, arriving right in the middle of a celebration that Johnson has tried to convince town officials to call off (sound familiar?) The body count is awesome but not very well done. See it for the babes and the nasty-looking gator.

I would love to know what the death toll was for Supergator, because once the beast starts eating folks it doesn't stop. I mean, it doesn't even attempt to take a rest break, it just keeps eating and eating..it has quite an appetite.This time the killer monster is a prehistoric alligator from the Paleostone age(..recreated from the DNA of a jaw bone, these scientists never learn)running rampant on the wild life refuge of a Hawaiin island, eating every human being in sight.What I found most amusing was how the filmmakers went out of their way to create these various story-lines / sub-plots, maneuvering characters into positions just to be eaten. They exist only as a food source. Kelly McGillis stopped by to pick up a paycheck as the scientist(..or one of the scientists) responsible for the creature's creation. John Colton is the water boat hunter she hires to help her find it. Brad Johnson is a vulcanologist researching a volcano, afraid it might just erupt. Josh Kelly is a young apprentice assisting him and Bianca Lawson is a former student, now a journalist wishing to follow along, working on an article detailing their progress. Mary Alexander Stiefvater is the volcano expert who called Johnson about the volcano. Others show up primarily to be eaten.Like other sci-fi channel movies of this type, the filmmakers rely heavily on computer generated effects. When they shoot attacks up close, the filmmakers create vague depictions of bloody arms and legs caught within the sharp grip inside the mouth of the gator. What's frustrating about this process is that you barely can see any of the bloody action, although the victims' screams are pretty effective as they are being torn into. Like in Jaws, Supergator has the public event scene(..a luau in this particular situation)our heroes attempt to stop due to the dangerous threat, falling on deaf ears with the organizers, resulting in a massacre. The cgi attacks are rather laughable, with only one or two that are even remotely effective. To their credit, the filmmakers try their best to stage the attacks as ferocious and horrifying as possible, but the cgi is just too obvious. I believe the closer attacks are staged so erratically due to the fact that all they had was a prosthetic mouth(..probably hands just operating it off screen), so the editing is haphazard not just for the attempt of capturing the situation in a feverish intensity, but out of necessity.

I've seen a lot of B-movies and many of them sucked but this one is one of the few of them I have to consider OK but certainly NOT the best monster movie I've ever seen.It starts out in Hawaii. A group of geologists are studying an active volcano while a scientist and her companion search for an alligator experiment gone wrong and somehow escaped from a research lab. After about 20 or so deaths, the monster is killed of course but before then, so many visible flaws are seen throughout the film. Here are a few of them.To start, the monster is clearly CGI and it makes many sounds from other movies, including the velociraptor shriek and Spinosaurus roar from Jurassic Park; nothing new.The monster seems more intent on simply killing every few minutes instead of eating like a normal Alligator that can go on without food for months but since it's not exactly an alligator, I can't quite confirm the monsters metabolism or compare this movie to reality.The victims themselves sometimes die slowly, all the while screaming as the monster chews on them but the shots are too close up to see anything in particular so they aren't really enjoyable.The guns that are used on the monster have little to no effect on it and seem to bounce off its scales as if they were metal but in reality, I doubt that even a prehistoric alligator can withstand bullets. However the guns don't seem to run out of ammo and one in particular, a 12 gauge shotgun is fired upon the monster from an impossible range.A disappointing fact is that almost all of the characters die; even ones that I expected to survive but eventually got killed.All in all, it's an OK movie but for those of you who prefer a realistic horror film instead of a cheap, CGI B-movie with mediocre acting and effects, I suggest you avoid this one.
