mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

tbear68 Saw this listed on a premium channel on cable and thought it could be mildly entertaining despite the over-used motif of "killer sharks." I was wrong. What a waste of time and energy...not to mention BORING. Won't say it was the worst film of all time however I've not seen any worse than this one. Poor acting, weak overall story, lame exposition and cheesy special effects. In fact the special effects were only slightly better than the graphics on a Vic-20 or TRS-80 computer (OK, that's a bit of an exaggeration). No wonder there are no goofs listed for this one; I wouldn't know where to begin listing them.And to think was such a fan of Jeff Fahey as The Marshal.

Tom Zuehlsdorff (tommyz-radiodj) While I agree with most of what has been said about this movie, the statement of 2 deaths is false. I saw three before i had to turn it off. Yes there was the two construction men, but what about the sorority bitch at the beginning? Did the commenter forget about her? that would make 3 before the explosion one. Cricket Selna was about the only good thing about this movie from what i saw. and yes i am biased cause she is a friend from college and now i am 4 step from Kevin Bacon but that is besides the point.This movie is good to MST3K, have a laugh, if you can handle it. That is about all i have to say about that. So yeah, if you have any problems with this comment, deal. It is difficult to make this movie recommendable to anyone, but i am trying to be good and not totally trash it.

slayrrr666 "Blue Demon" is a rather unnecessary shark film.**SPOILERS**Marla Collins, (Dedee Pfeiffer) and her ex-husband Nathan, (Randall Batinkoff) are engineering Great White Sharks for a special military contract, and are able to get some results before the project is shut down. An accident during the demonstration of the sharks releases them from their holding tanks, they get loose, causing a major panic at the laboratory. Tracking both the sharks and the government operatives on their trail, they try to stop the insider on the project from using the sharks for their personal gain.The Good News: There's very few good qualities about this film. The fact that the film actually has some occasionally funny bits, as practically any scene with their dwarf of a boss or the incessant complaining about the status of their marriage will attest., these provide some choice comedic moments every now and then, and several of them are actually funny. The opening sequence is perhaps as good as it gets in the suspense and scariness categories, and actually gets the biggest death in the film. It's appropriately enough for a good bang opening, which makes it far more memorable than later on. Other than those two things, there isn't much else in here.The Bad News: As much as I wanted top like this, there's three factors here that doom this beyond all hope: the rating, the clichéd script, and the lack of shark action. For a film about a group of killer sharks, it's almost unforgivable to have less kills than the number of sharks in the group. That's what happens here. And there isn't a huge number of sharks in the group, either, and there was plenty of opportunities for the sharks to get some more kills in. There's at least three scenes of them gathering around a potential victim only for them to be saved at the last moment or the sharks are diverted away from the prey and they are able to escape. It grew frustrating after the third such encounter, seeing as how it's hard to generate much fear in a creature that can't kill any unsuspecting prey. That alone is a major obstacle to get over, as is the cliché manner of the script. Everything in here has been covered before in other, better films. There is at least a dozen films this steal elements from on display here, and that's just giving a quick cursory glance. Looking harder, there's probably a good dozen or more that it steals from. This just feels repetitive, and for a sub-genre that doesn't offer much originality to begin with, that's another major strike against it. The death blow, however, is the rating. All of this could've been forgivable had the few attacks it had been incredibly gory and featured lots of blood. Sadly, there's nothing in here at all worthy of being called gory, and it's hard to even call the film violent. Take out some language bits and this could go down a further notch. It doesn't even matter that the love interest took up most of the first half, negating the sharks to the second half or that they look as some of the most unconvincing creations from a computer, it could've been at least decent. But that there alone kills the film more than it's other major two problems.The Final Verdict: Incredibly boring shark film with very few redeeming factors to help it along. It's all been seen before, and the rating does it no help. Only see this if you're afraid of sharks or need to see every one of them ever made. Otherwise, don't really bother with this one.Rated PG-13: Language and some violence

Paul Andrews Blue Demon tells the tale of six genetically altered super aggressive sharks, genetically altered by the husband & wife scientific duo of Nathan (Randall Batinkoff) & Martha Collins (Dedee Pfeiffer) together with their assistant Avery (Josh Hammond), the purpose of these sharks are seen as a weapon to defend the U.S. Nathan & Martha's boss Van Allen (Danny Woodburn) intends to sell this fantastic shark to the military & sets a meeting up with General Remora (Jeff Fahey). Unfortunately when the big moment arrives & the sharks need to do their thing it appears that they have escaped their underwater enclosure, scary eh? Nathan & Martha desperately do all they can to try & locate the killer sharks before they reach public water & start eating their way through the local Californian population, while Nathan & Martha realise what a danger their creations pose to the public there are other's who don't share their caring attitude & want to cover the problem up & get the sharks back...Co-written, produced & directed by Daniel Grodnik Blue Demon is an awful film make no mistake about it. The script by Grodnik, Lisa Morton, Ron Oliver & Brett Thompson is meant to be a horror, sci-fi, action mix but fails miserably in it's attempts & comes across far more like a comedy as there is plenty to laugh at. Anybody with half a brain will spot the flaws in logic & sense while anyone familiar with the horror genre will spot all the clichés & stolen ideas from Jaws (1975) to Deeep Blue Sea (1999) both of which are far superior to this piece of crap. From the fact that these genetic experiments on sharks seem to be completely useless to the ridiculous notion that a shark can carry a nuclear device in it's mouth, this is really bad & poorly thought out. The ending sucks as a nuclear explosion would wipe half the coast away & the you can see the so-called twist coming a mile off. Blue Demon also features one of the most unintentionally hilarious scenes ever, at the end Martha uses a round life saver to capture the bad guy. She throws it & it lands over him & for some bizarre reason he drops his gun & is completely defeated, you have to see the scene in question to know just how funny it is. There is also a funny bit on a beach after one of these sharks has attacked, just look at everyone's reactions & facial expressions, absolutely hilarious.Director Grodnik doesn't do anything to help matters & Blue Demon is dull to watch. There's no excitement, tension, atmosphere or scares. There is no reason to watch this film at all, it's as simple & straight forward as that. The special effects are absolutely awful, the CGI sharks are hilarious in themselves but it doesn't stop there. No, once in a while we get to see the sharks fin above water which is obviously a rubber prop which moves along at about 1 mile an hour, my Gran could probably swim faster than these guys! Very, very funny to watch. Forget about any gore either, there's a severed arm & that's it. Nowhere near enough people get eaten or attacked.Apparently shot in about two & a half weeks I'm surprised it took them that long, Blue Demon is a poorly made, poorly thought out film that has nothing going for it. The music has that familiar Jaws sound to it. Then there's the cast, why cast a midget? Having said that the female cast members are very easy on the eye, which helps things. Fahey obviously needed money badly.Blue Demon is a really bad film that does a passable job as a comedy but comes nowhere near as a horror or action film. This is definitely one to avoid, watch Jaws again instead. I'll give it a couple of stars because there's a few good looking babes in it & it's funny on occasion but that's by no means any kind of recommendation.
