I watch the
"Crocodile Hunter" television show, and to those of
you people who don't know, Steve Irwin is a professional wildlife explorer who
studies vicious wildlife. Don't be fooled by his name though, he's more of a
Crocodile preserver than hunter. I was rather curious to discover how Hollywood
which has the ability to squeeze the life out of a phenomenon would handle this,
and I was rather surprised. The good thing about this movie is that they don't
try to make actors out of the two explorers on which the movie focuses on.
Rather, Steve and his wife don't try to be characters, yet they're themselves,
talking to the camera and showing off their skills as they wrangle with vicious
creatures. It's like the show was transferred onto film and it was pleasing.
Irwin, himself, is a nut as he nearly gets chomped on by a large crocodile, and
stung by a bird spider, and by-golly that's what makes him so likeable in this
movie. I love to see him take lots of risks by exploring these animals up-close.
What really pleased me throughout the movie is that Irwin and his wife
constantly give the audience messages about preserving wildlife for the greater
good, I thought it was a good way to turn this movie into a lesson and I
encourage it.
The problem with this is that the movie sets
up a sub-plot as the agents go through countless trouble attempting to track
Steve down. I found this to be a bad plot-device to move the story along and
felt it unnecessary. We get two-dimensional villains who constantly fall and
tumble throughout the movie which is odd being that they're government agents
who can't even catch an animal. I would have preferred if the movie was exactly
like the show except a documentary-style movie for kids which would have suited
me well, but the sub-plot in here is very sub-par.
All in all, a decent movie to watch, Kids
will love Irwin's risky likeable nature as he wrangles with vicious animals,
while they appreciate the kid-friendly action and suspense. (Aren't you glad I
didn't say "Crikey!" once in this review? You're welcome)
