This is one of the worst movies ever, Ms Anthony and Mr Bergin should know better but must have been desperate!! The accents are a total laugh, the insults to the Scots are many and most would be insulted beyond belief.......the errors are outstanding and laughable and the yanks win the day again (yawn!!!) Total tripe!!!!! is there was a rating as 0 I would have given it. I wonder why movie makers indulge in this sort of dribble, they are obviously not going to make enough money from it unless they are selling it to morons!!! I would imagine it damages the credibility of all involved, most especially the actors and director....cant see anyone queuing up to employ them after this!!!

I have seen many people on here already complain about the bad acting and weak story. To be honest with you people, everything on the cover warns you for this, the storyline described at the back, the pictures accompanying are just screaming B-film, heck even C-film. So you can expect a bad plot full of clichés, cheesy lines and rigid acting. These type of films are not suited to find continuity loopholes, since you'll find far too many, and you're deriving yourself the entire movie pleasure by analyzing it. So, why did I decided to rent this movie after all, even though it clearly tried to warn me for this? Because I thought it would be fun for a rainy Sunday afternoon, see some monster shots, get a scare or too by something leaping out of the water, and when it's over, just get on with your daily lives.However, despite me being ready to see a rather crappy movie, this one managed to disappoint me still. The monster isn't very well portrayed, you rarely see it well actually and because it's portrayed so horribly, it very rarely comes off scary. You also expect a water monster to leap out of the water very often, especially at Loch Ness, where the water is nearly black. The setting was excellent for getting a few scares from a huge beast leaping out of the darkness, but all in all, the monster jumps out of the water once or twice. Last of all, there is no excuse for casting something as ugly as Adria Dawn as a college girl in a movie where the actors themselves don't really matter.So, this movie seems like a total disaster, but why did I give it 3/10 instead of the 1 it deserves? Because I was prepared for such horrible acting, and it contains some delightful retardedness. Some insanely stupid things that probably came off cool to the director at first, but is perceived by the audience as plain painful to watch. A nice example would be the random extra plot in the middle of the movie. Two colleagues are having a (verbal) fight, and the woman yells "Is this because of the divorce?". This has nothing to do with the story, comes out of the blue, and hardly anything later on derives from this new fact. Somehow you gotta enjoy that. Another thing which gave me the laughs, althoughunintended to be funny I think, is when the local fool (who has seen Nessie before) decides to go after him. Now, what does he take with him? Huge bombs, some sort of bazooka, maybe even something that could shoot huge amounts of poison so the monster gets killed, all good guesses, but he decides to kill an immense monster with a harpoon. How will he survive you ask? Well, he has put the Braveheart face paint on of course. I can imagine not everybody enjoys these scenes and gets a laugh out of it, and most elite internet movie watchers will get angry over this, rather than amused. Another thing I liked, the team leader, Case, is such an arrogant ass in the movie, that you can only enjoy him, I do at least. A nice example of his arrogance is his reply to some Scottish fishermen in the middle of the night where he asks them "if the sheep have a headache", and of course the most cliché line for an arrogant bastard: "Who are you again?".IN CONCLUSION Do not rent this movie unless you: a) can enjoy a movie that's so incredibly bad it just makes you laugh at some times b) you have a 8-12 year old kid, and you want to show him a "scary movie" that won't really give him nightmares. Really, this movie is ideal for a little kid to watch and give him the feeling he's watching a scary monster movie, but not for the serious adult.

while this isn't anywhere near the worst movie i have ever seen, i wouldn't quite say i liked it.i won't go into the plot because it's pretty evident in the title.the scenes with the creature are OK ,but nothing spectacular,certainly not exciting at all.there is not much excitement in the movie at all for my tastes.the creature looks OK,but there are very few actual scenes of it shown.basically,not very much happens throughout the whole movie.i found it very ponderous to the point of boredom.the acting is not bad,but the actors have little to work with.if you're looking for excitement or thrills,this movie won't likely do it for you.like me,you'll probably have that empty and unsatisfying feeling when the movie ends,if you make it that far.3/10 from me.

How could we write a movie about America that is as insulting to Americans as this film is to Scots and the entire UK?The fact is we couldn't.It is clear from Comiskys diabolical stereotyping of Scots and his ignorant depictions of Scotland and the UK that nobody could be this stupid.What was the underlying theme to this Movie?From what I saw of this garbage film, I can only conclude that this was a manifest orgy of hate filled propaganda against Scotland and the UK, perpetrated by Comisky for an agenda that is best known to himself, tenuously alibied by the wooden acting, the incredulous plagiarist butchery of other movies plots, the pathetic script writing, the ridiculous discontinuity and last but not least Comiskys own deliberate ineptness as a director.This was not so much a movie that was made badly, as a very successful character assassination of an entire Nation.It comes as no surprise that following this "Chuck" (Is that supposed to be short for Charles?) directed nothing else, no doubt having been deluged by complaints the studio had him painting scenery or fetching coffee for less hate filled and infinitely more accomplished directors.
