adamuser I first saw this movie on TV, I missed the beginning of it, then I got it and watch it again, I enjoyed it. I read lots of reviews that said it was not good, I found it nice and good, the creature is good and I really enjoyed, but I can say that few times the acting was not to the level required, it could have been better, but this is a movie, I enjoyed it and do recommend it to others and I do disagree with others regarding the bad reviews, it should be good...... watch and enjoy!!!

Danii Disaster I don't understand the low rating. This is one of my favorite movies. I saw it for free, but this is actually one of the VERY few movies I WOULD pay to see.The movie is quite long, but it doesn't drag -- it's suspenseful, keeps you engaged. The acting is very good. The editing is great also. And what a nicely-crafted monster! I have seen plenty of sea-monster movies, but this really is one of the best.I see this movie is being compared to "Jaws" quite heavily... Well, I did not like "Jaws" so much; this one is a lot more interesting. To me, it wasn't similar to "Jaws" in any way, except sharing a common theme (the presence of a sea-monster).Well worth watching, definitely.

John ONeill This movie should never have been released, it's an absolute failure on all levels except for some of the acting. You'll find yourself cringing at seeing recognizable actors in a movie this worthless, I can't imagine that anyone associated with the making of this movie ever brings that fact up on their resume. I had assumed that Peter Benchley had some talent as a writer after seeing Jaws, but I guess he was just a one-hit-wonder. It is too bad that he didn't have the sense to burn the manuscript and take up wood carving instead. Give the "Creature" a shiny sword and he could be a monster of the week on the Power Rangers. The movie could have worked as a comedy if they had at least sped things up a bit, it is so slow and tedious that it can't even be enjoyed as a B-movie train wreck.

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
