Review of Raptor

Raptor (2001 Video)
5/10
Decent dinosaur flick
24 December 2006
I must say that I did expect to see a movie that was a lot worse. It's a cheap exploitation-movie OK, but it could have been a lot worse. Ir read that they used footage from the three Carnosaur-movies, but they did that rather well. Eric Roberts plays his role as a sheriff in a way you would expect in this kind of film, but does a better job than most exploitation-actors. Lorissa McComas is great as the daughter. It would have been better if she'd died a horrific death, because I'm sure she would be great at it. Melissa Braselle was OK as well. The "bad guys", however, were pretty lame.It was a big mistake to let the "evil professor" wear such a silly hat. I mean, if you're going for stereotypes, don't be afraid to pick up the bald German professor again. When people are watching a cheapo flick, it doesn't matter... we *do* want to see what we expect to see. Originality is OK, but only in the butcheries ;-) No, seriously: I enjoyed Raptor. I didn't *love* it. I don't recommend it to people. I'm just glad it wasn't a lot worse.
