My lord, who made this film. I don't understand if people want to make a low budget T.V. monster movie, why don't they show more monsters. There isn't enough in this film. They all focus on the humans acts to escape, which no one cares about. I'm not surprised that bout 3/4th's of this cast has most likely appeared in a porno. The only interesting thing I thought was amazing, were the random zombies that are thrown in as a side effect to the komodo's saliva. Lame? or super-amazing? hey there zombies can't get much cooler then that. The story is simple. People want to solve world hunger, government gets interested and gives them a komodo(s). They get big and eat people. Well a group of criminals are thrown in for a sub-plot that lasts around 30 sec. None of the actors are interesting and I often confuse this movie with "Komodo vs. Cobra", which is literally th exact same story but with cobras thrown in too. Special effects are average for a T.V. movie but I still feel they should be much better for the year the film was made. I swear this film was a porno but all the sex was removed and they kept one nude scene in then added more pointless dialog. 2/10

Just to rip it apart. The attack of the komodos is the most exciting thing about this flick--as in attacks ones stomach for the gore. None of the usual laden down couple action here, thank God, but still the old crappy approach regarding women. Nothing more more than eye candy. None of the 4 women in this comes off really smart. The closest ones are the assistant to hero doctor and the survivor island gal who looks like a Jungle gal--& all 4 are--Can't any film limit this club med thing with the women to one girl? Can't there be Kathy Bates or Roseanne looking woman who is the heroine in these films--once?We do have one normal--looking, IMO an intelligent man (William Langlois) btw, his presence is the lone reason I give this film a 1 as all the rest are club med and/or very churlish. But come to think of it men are a given allowance to look old and at least one is seen on a Sci-Fi "originals" whereas not one woman central character looks past forty. & oh just remember the second overweight lout whose purpose is to inject a bit of a funny during the first 1/3 of the movie. Well, didn't work. The gore IS the only thing the works & when it comes there red flags waiving towards point of occurrence & what's left in the aftermath.I wholeheartedly agree with others about the CGI Komodos but believe it or not I've seen worse in Sci-Fi made films. But the guns on these beasts and the stupidity of those trapped on the island. Huh no one can't make an arrow out a good knife (there had to one in the house) to kill these big cretins?? Oh, how about attempting setting it on fire. Why the crappy bullets? I don't think a heap of bullets will bring those behemoth's down.The robbers sub-plot an the swim in the water scene rips whatever quality this farce could've possessed to shreds. Selfish criminals mucking things up is long since old & tired & this variation is definitely old & tired. The actress playing the moll I've seen in slightly better Sci-Fi movies; well, she's wasted here. And the swim scene--I cringed first looking at that scene! Get in the water which is part of the food chain not knowing why her and daddy have come to this island? Right. & need I mention the camera angles employed. Why not have a man do this for the Sci-Fi gals? Where's women's liberation?

Okay, okay...so Ray Harryhausen isn't dead. This movie might drive him to commit suicide and then roll in his grave.Not that the monster effects are terrible for a low budget picture. They're passable in a "this would make an interesting video game" way. As previously mentioned, the game would have to constitute nothing more than the giant Komodo jumping out, having hundreds of rounds fired into its belly, then lumbering off for no reason.The stars of this movie are not the Komodos, anyway. They're the breasts of the female stars. At least, this is what one has to assume, as they're flaunted at every opportunity, despite being "hidden" by the barest of coverings. I saw this picture on the Sci Fi Channel, so I have no awareness how much T and A might have been cut out (this being a JW film and all). Regardless, it was obvious that this was intended to be the draw. The girls - there are three interchangeable blonds - don't have much to do but huddle together. It's almost as if the director told them: "The Komodo is coming, so huddle on this couch." "The Komodo is coming, so huddle by this tree." It goes on and on, with the tallest of the bunch going bra-less in a tank top, bouncing each time they have to run from one huddling location to another.And the guys? Most of them looked like they escaped from a GQ shoot. You know the types. Minor stubble to denote the "rugged outdoors-man" stereotype. Tank top on the "muscular hero" stereotype.It was almost comic enough to be enjoyable. But not quite.

This movie is just Jurassic Park part 2, but without any budget, or good animals, or special effects, or actors, or even any good action.The funniest part of the movie is when the Komodos attack and they just stand above people doing nothing, the people are screaming below them, shoot it around 200 times without any effect, and then it just gives up and walks away. WHY DIDN'T IT JUST EAT THEM?!?!? In conclusion, worst movie ever. Don't waste your time. This pains me to say, but please rent Hulk Hogan movies over this. Trust me, its THAT bad. Just describing this movie to people is usually enough to scare them away from it.
