Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Matho 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.

Michael Ledo The TV series, "The Expedition Channel" finances digs and expeditions. While having a crew at Loch Ness, Gus (Dick Stilwell) dies while scuba diving Loch Ness. The studio relocates a different heavy weight, Brian Wimmer to replace Gus. You get a peek at Nessie early in the film. The diving crew discovers rocks which look like large eggs, and whenever they go to look at them, Nessie appears and disrupts their dive. Meanwhile some kids with a web site about Loch Ness plant a fake looking shiny metallic green Nessie for their on-line cam to get subscribers. Got the plot figured out 15 minutes into the film?Filmed in the US, the movie also stars Lysette Anthony from "Krull" and Lysa Apostle whose short movie career ended after this film. This movie was written and directed by visual effects producer Chuck Chomisky (Avatar)who never wrote or directed after this film. The town, which prospers from the myth of Loch Ness, doesn't want people coming there, especially those Euro-trash hooligans. The local fishermen "boom fish" which disrupts the sonar...although there is not enough fish in the lake to boom fish (which means there isn't enough to support Nessie either).Lysette Anthony actually gives us a good performance in what is a bad script. It was almost as if she was doing Shakespeare, and no one else was. The film cruises along as a fairly decent "B" movie, then all of a sudden it turns real bad...and the ending? Really? That was the best Chomisky could come up with or did they run out of money?No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

gavin6942 The legendary Loch Ness Monster terrorizes a lake in Scotland and Patrick Bergin comes out to kill it.Yes, we have a relatively low budget film about the Loch Ness Monster with no actors you have ever heard of and a crew you do not know, either. Was this filmed in Scotland? Maybe. But the Scots are seen as backwards bumpkins with a sheep fetish.This film takes the view that Nessie is a prehistoric dinosaur or similar creature. That is probably the most interesting view, even if not entirely plausible. But, hey, when your monster may not even be real in the first place, go all out.

astrauch There are people who know the dangers. They are made fun of, chased out of town. No one cares? "Let's go into the water. The rich business man says it is OK" Apparently I need to write more lines. The creatures always evade the best technology, or worse the people get sent out into danger with fault instruments. "get going, save the world, but sir our sensors don't work, OK I'll go"If a group of four go two will die, the obnoxious, pervert dies first. Then his girlfriend or the girl noxious guy was hitting on. The heroes girlfriend appears to die but she gets save by hero of the movie at the end. Nobody get too freaked as the death toll rises. Just some thoughts on this kind of movie.

RichardVRichard I'd like to say I don't really feel entitled to comment on this movie after I gave up 40 minutes in. But nevertheless...I bought this cheapy and cheery DVD for the grand sum of £2.99 at the local newsagents.My doubts about the quality of this film began shortly after the underwater earthquake. Yes you heard me, underwater earthquake. In Scotland. Underwater. This is explained by the line "Actually Scotland is located on a large tectonic fault." For comparison; this is similar for the overlook hotel to get randomly swept away by a tsunami in the Shining and having dick halloran and a policeman standing over the ruins and the policeman explaining "Actually Colorado has quite a large coastline."But maybe I'd let that one pass. Serious doubts were added when the action flitted back to a sandy rock a.k.a Afghanistan for no reason other than to get the yearly exotic Asian fix in.Slowly other incidents crept in. Such as the sub-tropical nature of Scotland I had not noticed. Or the fact that a community entirely dependent on tourism asserts "We don't like outsiders." And random scenes for no apparent reason are dubbed. Badly.From here things simply got worse; the police force apparently in unison with the local populace seems determined at destroying the economy with the repeated assertion he wants no more of this Nessie rubbish. The accents go from low to low. The same CGI effect is repeatedly used. And its not even a good one; it looks like a brown log underwater. Its not long before hippies swarm down from their climes and see Nessies recent carnage as a good reason for bobbing occult ceremonies. Nessie despite being the size of a small oil tanker has no problem entering low tide completely submerged and massacring the pagans without being seen.The point were I cracked was when a major character randomly turns to another mid-argument and yells 'Is this because of our divorce?' She the breaks into tears. WHAT? Not the slightest provocation was dropped for this other than the sudden need for a romantic lead.I went away but from those foolhardy to sit through I hear a stunning conclusion was achieved with explosives and what not. I'm assuming the two main characters realised their divorce was too soon and the evil overlord financing the operation from his New York lair got some kind of comeuppance but that is by-the-by.My verdict: Aninsulttoallthatisgoodandtrue/10
