Movie Reviews of Creature
Movie Review: "Good Junk"
Summary: 4 Stars
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...Movie Review: You Gotta Admit, This Is Better Than Jaws 4 The Revenge
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked this movie because it is so entertaining and does pay off if you stick with it, it also has a good cast.
Why Doesn't Universal buy this off MGM and destroy the jaws 4 The Revenge negative and call this movie Jaws 4, because this is what Jaws 4 should have been.
Movie Review: Peter Benchly's book was a heck of alot better...
Summary: 3 Stars
Long before I saw this movie..I, being a fan of Peter Benchly's work, Read the book White Shark, which is what the movie Creature is based on. The book White Shark is one of my all time favorite books...but I was largely upset by Sci fi Channel's so called movie version of White Shark. They hardly retained any of the material that was in the book...they kept the island...the main character and his son...and the over all basis of what the creature was..but every thing else from the book was thrown aside..like in the book it wasn't the main character's exwife that comes to the island with the seals..its an entirly different female character...in the book you never even meet his ex wife..she is only mintioned by Max while talking with his father. Also in the book it was the Nazi's who performed the experiments that led to the creation of the creature...NOT the US Navy. By changing that ..they cut out my favorite character from the book...even though he was only in the book for a short time..he was still an intersting character. Also Max meets the island girl in a totally different way in the book...also in the book her character is deaf....the only real reason I gave this 3 stars is because the film's creature was pretty awesome looking. Pretty much how I had pictured it while reading the book. I know that sometimes when a book gets made into a movie some things from the book get left out, altered or completely rewritten...but too me all the things from the book that was changed in the movie shouldn't have been changed. I can only hope that someday some one will deciede to give the book White Shark a true transformation into movie form. I'm not sure if I'd ever buy this movie...but I most likely would watch it or rent it...then again..I might not.Movie Review: Loooooong, run of the mill creature adventure.
Summary: 3 Stars
I think this movie is about 3 hours long, it would have been far better at about 90 minutes. Craig T. Nelson is a rather sanctimonious nature guy doing some sort of shark research on an abandoned military base out on an island. His (ex?) wife Kim Cattrall comes to visit with their kid. Local fishermen start having trouble with sharks and Nelson sanctimoniously criticizes them, blah blah blah. There's a long dull subplot with the kid and his new-found friends on the island as they have occasional run-ins with the shark creature. This eats up about a third of the movie. There's also a mysterious guy who seems to be the local insane bum, but maybe he's got a secret?
Anyhow, lots of family crap, lots of nature guy sanctimony, marginally involving plot overall. It would probably be far more enjoyable without the 75 minutes of commercials that the Sci-Fi Channel plays every time they broadcast it. Creature is typical low budget looking shark dude type thing. Tho only reason I'd buy this is that Kim Cattrall looks incredibly sexy throughout most of the movie. They should put chapter stops on each scene she's in so viewers could skip the rest of this junk.
Movie Review: No Doubt this is no JAWS!!
Summary: 3 Stars
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!!
