Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

After taking some DNA from a fossil of a Phobosuchus and combining it with DNA from a modern alligator the newly recreated "supergator" manages to escape and sets up its home on one of the Hawaiian Islands. A hunter is hired to capture or kill it but in the meantime innocent civilians just happen to be in the same area and they become its next meal in the process. So much for the format which is pretty standard stuff for this particular sub-genre. Also quite standard were the performances of the main actors as well. Fortunately, there were a number of attractive young ladies featured with Mary Alexander Stiefvater (as "Alexandra Stevens") and Holly Weber (as "Lorissa") being the most prominent. However, what was rather substandard about this movie was the animation and special effects which weren't nearly as good as they should have been. That detail—more than anything else—really hampered the overall quality of the film. In any case, those who really enjoy this particular sort of picture might be interested in watching this film but everyone else should probably just avoid it as it certainly isn't one of the better movies of this type. Other than the young ladies mentioned earlier there really isn't much to see. Accordingly, I rate it as below average.

In Hawaii, volcanologist Brad Johnson (as Scott Kinney) and young assistant Josh Kelly (as Ryan Houston) arrive to investigate a possible volcano eruption. Meanwhile, a prehistoric-looking alligator appears to be running amok, eating people. The titular "Supergator" attracts veteran alligator geneticist Kelly McGillis (as Kimberly "Kim" Taft). Acting (or not) as backup are reporter Bianca Lawson (as Carla Masters) and resident assistant Mary Alexander Stiefvater (as Alexandra Stevens)...These "Syfy Channel" and video premiering monster movies are generally mediocre, but a few are above average and even more can be fun to watch. Not this time. "Supergator" is sloppy and substandard, even for its genre. It's possible the already low budget was cut during production as several of the early to mid-film special effects are almost non-existent; they consist of extreme, indistinguishable close-ups. In a pink bikini, Holly Weber is most arousing. We see more of the alligator, later.** Supergator (7/14/07) Brian Clyde ~ Brad Johnson, Bianca Lawson, Kelly McGillis, Holly Weber

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.

Laughed the whole way through. Thought it was a parody on all films of the genre. You have GOT to be kidding.All the kids in the room were laughing too. How about those blood sprays?? All death scenes the same except for the wardrobe change. OMG--the acting...But I am glad some people enjoyed it in a different way. Kelly McGillis looked about 65. What on earth has happened to her. That was freaky.Another thing I found odd was the murky, ghastly looking water. I have never been to Hawaii but always thought the water was sky blue. Must be all the fake Kool-Aid blood, huh? Still my whole family watched it all the way through. We took bets who would be the last actor standing--and none of us predicted the end.
