Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Aryana Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

TedMichaelMor Veteran director Stuart Gillard gives us a good television movie with Craig Nelson and Kim Catrall giving top-notch performances. Rockne S. O'Bannon wrote a tight adaptation of Peter Benchley's implausible novel. However, once one accepts the improbable creature, the rest of the story works well. It is made well. It entertained me. I very much enjoyed seeing the movie.Further, location shooting in St. Lucia gives this movie a good look. The images are often beautiful in ways that do not distract from the narrative. Camera work involves careful use of positioning, careful movement of cast within otherwise ordinary shots, and good panning. I like the editing. Special effects are well done. I think that the monster creature looks good.The film has a good pace with humour and slowly building moments of terror. Megalyn Echikunwoke enriches the look of the film. I like the soundtrack.

cinderella321 Grab some popcorn and skittles 'cause this movie is epic! Creature is one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and as such I consider it one of the best. Nothing speaks to a true B-rated sci-fi fanatic like government cover-ups, outlandish monsters, strained family ties, and the manipulation the human genome. And, Ladies and Gentlemen let me tell you: this movie does not just speak, it sings. I would recommend this film to anyone who consider themselves a connoisseur of the B-rated genre. Yes, Creature is about 3 hours long (with commercials) but the ending is pure poetry and very worth the wait. Creature is a classic cross-section of the epic sci-fi; as such I recommend that it be viewed at 2:00am - no earlier.

kyle_michaelsen Oh. My. God. This. Movie. Lasts. For. Ever.It's not the longest movie ever made by a long shot, but holy crap, it feels like it. The concept itself is fairly interesting, if not overly original, but it's handled horribly. The storytelling is weak, and the dialogue weaker. The monster itself is somewhat scary until they actually show it. It looks so laughably pathetic that it's impossible to be even the slightest bit spooked thereafter. The director and writers for this movie also clearly have very little notion of how to create good suspense. If you decide you want to watch this movie, place a 'dunce cap' on your head and go sit in the corner for an hour. Then either read the book or watch Jaws or something. Hell, Jaws: The Revenge (and everyone knows how well THAT movie came out) might be better and more interesting than this film.

cyclone259 I managed to miss (purposely) this 'movie' when it originally aired and I should have heeded my own warning.Someone said this movie was a 'gem'.. well, some gems need to be re-buried and covered by 48 billion tons of rock. I was saddened to see how the once semi-popular stars Craig T. Nelson (the Poltergeist series, Coach) and Kim Catrall (Sex in the City, Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country) had waded into the dismal abyss of c-grade films. This film has it all, a dull plot, terrible acting, REALLY cheap effects. Wow... A shark that can walk. I remember the unfunny cartoon with the same premise: Jabberjaw, from way back in the 70's. The biggest difference is we were SUPPOSED to laugh at Jabberjaw.Something tells me that Nelson was the real loser in this affair since some people can't recover from a somewhat tepid career after a run of moderate successes. Catrall is a decent actress, at least she had a longtime stint on the beforementioned 'Sex in the City', which is currently in reruns. The crazy islander / former lab technician looked like he'd sniffed about one too many tubes of Testor's Model Glue or worked in a factory that manufactures Sharpie's. The 'creature' was incredibly bad, which made it difficult to buy into the whole premise.I'll save my time and not even comment on Creature 2, because I turned it off about 5 minutes into it. I'm at the point at wondering if the Sci-Fi Channel's budget is so meager it can't afford to show a decent A OR B-list film, they're even worse at making their own productions.
