Rating:  - Creature DVD
Based on White Shark by Peter Benchley (sort of) this movie is a throw-back to the creature feature type movies. If you like improbable "science" and cool looking monsters then you'll probably enjoy this, I did. Special effect are handled by Stan Winston's team.
Rating:  - Man in Rubber Shark suit!!!! Excellent
I remember when this aired on network T.V in the late 90's as a mini-series, I was ready to tape it and while doing so a large thunder storm blew threw the Twin Cities and we had all these weather scrolls going across the screen, and then in the middle on night one we lost power...poof, so I had to wait until years later to see a blurry video copy a friend had just to catch the end so thanks MGM for the release on DVD so that takes care of that. This is an overly long film at almost 3 hours but I still love it, I mean it has it all, secret military research base, man-shark hybrid, sexy Kim Cattrall... Craig T. Nelson. Peter Benchley had great success with Jaws and this book came after the also popular " The Beast " and it is probably the weakest movie adaption out of the three, having said that I am still glad to own it finally as it is very entertaining. It is a little to preachy in the beginnig with the " save the great white shark" bit, and some of the early cheap military set ups don't look convincing ( The navy uniforms look thrown together from a thift shop) but the few good glimpses we see of the shark are very good, so although it has flaws it's worth a look, and if your like it check out Jeffery Combs in " Hammerhead " for a double feature.
Rating: - Lets get a few things straight
First off "Creature" was not produced or made with any affiliation
to the Sci-fi channel kiddies, it was originally aired on one
of the big three networks (don't remember which one). Give credit
where credit is due not to some one that just reruns the mini series. The reason that this has become a cult classic is the shark man design rocks!, and I have to agree in part with another
reviewer Kim Cattrall is just sooo fine to look at in this flick.
Rating: - "Good Junk"
This was a made for TV mini-series based on the Benchley book "GREAT WHITE"... The book was MUCH better but the movie is still "good junk"... Entertaining and just fun to watch... I liked it then when it first debuted and still like it now for fun... Glad it was finally released...
Rating: - No Doubt this is no JAWS!!
I thought JAWS was one of the best movies of the 70's.
Which came from Peter Benchley's book JAWS which deals
with shark attacks that happened in 1916 off the coast
of New Jersey or thats where the idea came from.
This movie deals with a government project gone wrong,
Basically a creature that can go from sea to land & back again,
but it's half human half shark.
Which to me coming from Peter Benchley something went wrong,
this movie is stupid & very corny.
From JAWS to this movie Peter Benchley's creativity has
gone way down since JAWS!!
I rate this DVD a 5 from 1to10!!
