SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Leofwine_draca I'm guessing that Hallmark's TV miniseries version of Peter Benchley's THE BEAST was successful enough for them to commission this follow-up series, about a government-created half-man half-fish monster that not only kills people in the water but on land too. It sounds preposterous and it is, but in the hands of Hallmark it's a ponderous and slowly-paced affair, lacking the same kind of atmosphere as THE BEAST (which at least recalled JAWS favourably at times). This one's content to rip off ALIENS for all of the main action scenes, and although cast members Kim Cattrall, Craig T. Nelson, and Colm Feore try their hardest and Stan Winston's effects are, as ever, fantastic, it's middling at best.

kyle_michaelsen Oh. My. God. This. Movie. Lasts. For. Ever.It's not the longest movie ever made by a long shot, but holy crap, it feels like it. The concept itself is fairly interesting, if not overly original, but it's handled horribly. The storytelling is weak, and the dialogue weaker. The monster itself is somewhat scary until they actually show it. It looks so laughably pathetic that it's impossible to be even the slightest bit spooked thereafter. The director and writers for this movie also clearly have very little notion of how to create good suspense. If you decide you want to watch this movie, place a 'dunce cap' on your head and go sit in the corner for an hour. Then either read the book or watch Jaws or something. Hell, Jaws: The Revenge (and everyone knows how well THAT movie came out) might be better and more interesting than this film.

MartianOctocretr5 If you need a good laugh, here's the comedy for you.Let's start with the characters, which are all stereotypes or over-the-top whack jobs. After 25 years of not doing anything, an escaped mutant beast finally decides to eat something, so mutilated corpses start floating to the surface on the beaches of a Caribbean island. No sea monster movie is complete without the dumb local cop who ignores a scientist's warnings about the problem. The idiot teen angst son who just keeps getting in his Daddy's hair, needs to be put on time out. Local voodoo dancers that look like they're practicing for a primal scream contest. Military with enough fire power to blast the Western Hemisphere to rubble, but if brains were dynamite, they wouldn't have enough to blow their noses.But the best is the paranoid beach comber ex-scientist (who didn't age at all in 25 years). I love his "under the canoe" playhouse, where he stares wide-eyed at anything he sees, and whines incoherent gibberish hysterically.There really was a decent original idea for a story, but the director throws so much extra stuff at you, it's buried under a Caribbean Sea of dead-end sub plots and meaningless banter. The story suggests an evil secret involving the creature, but instead of exploring this, you'll just see pointless padding, like the romance with an island beauty liking the knucklehead kid. The two scientists rekindling their dead marriage serves no purpose either.I pity Craig T. Nelson, who took the thing seriously, and tried to make the most of his character. The director is to blame for the weak construction of the film which ends up being unintentionally funny. There are a few good moments involving the creature, but not enough. Most of the time you'll see the increasingly obvious red dye to simulate an attack, or the beast standing two feet away from a victim staring dumbly. Entertaining stuff, but as comedy, not horror.

lancelot_732000 POSSIBLE SPOILERS or warnings, depending on your takeFirst of all, I loved the book White Shark. I love the idea of a Nazi experiment lost in the ocean for years. Surfaces later to prey on people. I loved the idea that the "creature" was basically a man with shark-like attributes, such as implanted metal "teeth", gills, and a somewhat amphibious nature. But I couldn't believe the garbage they put on television. I know that in a tv movie, budgets are lower, actors are usually small time, but the greatest flaw in this picture was the script. Had to change it for the times, I guess. But the fact that it is no longer a Nazi monster, its now a US Navy monster run amok. Its no longer an enhanced human monster, its a genetically altered monster that actually looks like a walking shark. I just wish that Hollywood would either A)Try making the movie more like the book or B) or if you feel you have to change everything, try having an original idea and make an original movie. I loved the book, but this movie is only loosely based on the basic concept of the book, if you loved the book, stay away from this movie.1/10
