To me, this movie is perfection.
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Personally, I found it really amusing about Tom Zuehlsdorff's comment on Cricket Selena being the only good part of the movie and I have to agree. I met Cricket Selena briefly at a restaurant near Santa Monica, while waiting to be seated, and she told me about the small part she had in Blue Demon. I thought she did a great job playing the part of the bitchy sorority girl, which is a far cry from the kind and friendly person she was when we were talking. It was kind of a bummer her character met such a horrible demise, yet I remember Cricket telling me she had fun playing the shark victim and that her character kinda' got what she deserved.I've been on the look-out in hopes of seeing her in another movie, but so far no avail. Does anyone know if she has anything on the horizon? -Diane
This actually might be the worst movie ever made. Unlike some other low budget movies, this movie had no sense of irony or campiness. This is like the kind of movie that is shown within a Simpsons episode. It is the kind of movie made fun of on SNL. The CGI looked like it was straight out of a Discovery channel program. The acting is so wooden one moment, and completely over the top the next. It's a bit like watching a high-school play (that was also written by the high-school kid who plays D&D and collects comics). The actors deliver lines like, "Avery, you dumbass moron!" Wow. Great writing! How this movie ever got made is a mystery. It's worth watching for about ten minutes if you need a few laughs.
After seeing this film, I've come to the conclusion that, Plan 9 From Outer Space, should have won an Oscar. Bad acting, bad plot, bad dialog, un-scary sharks. The list could go on and on. I actually sat through this entire film, hoping it would get better, but Noooo! Now Jeff Fahey's character was the only redeeming factor in this movie, and that was for the comedic value of his part. Poor Jeff must have needed some serious pocket cash, or he must be a close friend of the Producer's. There were several cute girls in the movie, Whitney Sloan, being one of them, but even they couldn't save this poor excuse for a horror film. If you're an Ed Wood fan, you might like this flick, but I think Ed's movies are far far better than this...
...you know you must be watching a United Film Orginization production. Rarely does a film contain so many inappropriate elements. The score is far too jazzy, character's expressions are frequently out of place, and the spit-and-polish general is not nearly spit-and-polish enough(his name tag is lop-sided, his ribbons out of order). It is never fully explained why the air force has jurisdiction over killer sharks, although it is quite likely that the studio had surplus uniforms and decided to go with what they had to save money. In addition, there are precious few actual shark attacks. Is the movie bad? Yes, but it was at least somewhat entertaining.
