Reptilicus is a run-of-the-mill monster pic, interesting if only for the change of scene to Denmark. Pity poor Carl Ottosen, famous in Scandinavia for the Soldaterkammerater series, whose English dialogue was dubbed by someone else to mask his very thick Danish accent. He is a fine comedic talent in his native language, but his talents were wasted in this film. There are some nice color scenes with shots of the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, and also some scenes of a Royal Danish Navy frigate doing its work. Not much else to recommend it, the special effects leave much to be desired. The positives I described would be more useful in a good travelogue or NATO training film. Just cut out all the dinosaur and slime stuff.
