"swim so slowly almost EVERYONE they attack has no problem getting away from them. The scientist warns (at the beginning and end of the film) that they did something terrible in creating these sharks. I agree. If such sharks ever bred, the world's shark population would starve, as these things were completely unable to catch anything. (If you can't catch a floundering human, how are you supposed to catch a creature adapted to swimming.)"

"Okay, this was a terrible movie done on a very small budget. The plot was stupid, the acting bad, and the special effects were anything but special.. Could easily be a movie that gets one star with a disclaimer that it only gets one star because we can't give it less. HOWEVER...Jeff Fahey plays a "patriotic" American general, and he is so over the top, so into hamming it up that I think the movie is worth seeing just for his performance. It's a bad performance, but you have to believe he knew it was bad while performing it. You have to be pretty bored to watch this one, but hey...I made it throuh the whole thing. Barely."
Absolutely bad

"Wow is this movie terrible. Blue Demon has that noticeable and irritating made-for-TV feeling about it, and the quality of the storytelling certainly does nothing to change the viewers mind.
What had the potential to be a frightening movie involving deadly monster sharks attacking people was actually so bad it hurt.
ALL the characters acting skills were horrible, music would constantly appear at all the inappropriate moments giving off the feeling I was watching a comedy film at times, the storytelling had completely missed the mark, the sharks didn't pose as much of a threat as they should have, and did I mention the characters were horrible? Every time they introduced someone, there was no telling if they would stick around or not.
The only part of the movie I liked was when the young daughter was going fishing with her father. Everything else -including the terrible relationship between the two people working together that involved the woman taking the ring off her hand at one point early on- was terrible.
A very bad attempt at a shark movie."
