Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course
(Reviewed June 29, 2002, by James Dawson)
-
Crocodile (and snake and spider and lots of other things) hunter Steve Irwin is so likable and entertaining that this movie really should have been a longer version of his TV show. Unfortunately, only half of the movie is that--while the other half is a dumb, awkwardly grafted-on story about battling CIA agents trying to retrieve a downed spy satellite that has ended up in the gullet of a croc Irwin is trying to relocate. Without fail, every time the CIA agents are onscreen the energy level (and interest level) of this movie drops to zero--but every time the camera is back on hyperactive Aussie Steve, things are really fun in an innocently goofy way...and even, God help me, educational.
I did like the fact that the American government agents are portrayed as violent, stupid bullies--which certainly is an accurate assessment of our great nation's overpaid, underworked idiot bureaucrats. God bless America!
