Found the video tedious - minutes of people digging or riding in vehicles with irrelevant chit chat. My class of 12 year old inner-city 7th graders was bored much of the time. To be fair - the film has a few interesting parts. Felt that the producer had a good 15 minute film idea that he (or she) was forced to stretch. On the other hand ... my kids were kept spell-bound by the "Before the Dinosaurs" BBC series. Can't recommend it highly enough for content and excitement! Get the DVD with sub-titles so the kids can take notes - you can pause the DVDs. (Most of my students don't have English as a first language.) Also, "Walking with Cavemen," another BBC release, is great for human evolution. Some nudity but it didn't bother my 7th graders who saw it towards the end of the school year after we had learned about the human body.

I bought these for my son who is 5 and a dinosaur fanatic! He loves Super Croc however dinosaur hunter is about the actual digging and looking for dinosaurs, he really isn't that interested in that, maybe when he gets older. But for real dinosaur lovers, especially those who also love alligators or crocodiles, super croc is well worth the purchase!

SUPER CROC:5 STARS
DINOSAUR HUNTERS:2 STARS
I rated this item a 3 because(rounded up) the average of 5 and 2 is 3.
As for DINOSAUR HUNTERS, it was ABSOLUTLY GAY. The two "hunters" are named Mike and Mark(I don't think those are there origonal names) and they are so aparently gay. You can tell by how they wave there hands, sit, or how they talk to each other. There was also parts in there that wern't even needed, like that excavating crew cleaning themselves or having a banjo party. It would've been 1 star if it hadn't been for that part when that highly skilled woman uncovered Juliet(the dinosaur)in that big chunk of rock.
As for super croc, it was SUPER!!!!!!!! It talked about all the kin of Super Croc and even the Rare ghariel(Which is my favorite crocadilian) It gave me a alout more respect for the crocodile family. As a 14 year old studing zoology for 6 years now, I new well that if you wanted to get a hold of a crocodile you just hold it's mouth shut, as it's opening power is very weak. But after I watched 6 men have trouble handling it(With it's mouth closed) it gave me a lot of honor for these creatures. I also appriciated the experiance of Brady Barr and also thought Yuan was pretty funny, also so brave and making the men nervous.
