Too many fans seem to be blown away

The greatest movie ever made..!

Better Late Then Never

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

One or two posters (including the director) try to stick up for this. Forget it; you end up watching open-mouthed, like the audience in The Producers.Okay, Loch Ness is on a fault line, and Scotland does have the odd quake (very tiny ones). But this lake is about as bad a Loch Ness lookalike as you could find if you really tried, and the locals walking clichés that make Brigadoon look authentic. The performances are beyond bad, the accents far worse than most Americans can manage, the effects are more prehistoric than the monster, the continuity isn't, underwater scenes aren't, nobody bothered about even the simplest giveaways (money, cars, ambulance) and the script's not so much derivative as cut-and-paste. Okay, it isn't the hate-filled insult to the Scots someone claims; it's just turkey-brained. It's not a matter of budget -- look at Lake Placid -- or the UK cut; the US one's just as bad. The poor director evidently just doesn't realise what he's done. I thought Aztec Rex and Stonehenge Apocalypse kept the spirit of Ed Wood alive, but this resurrects him.

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.

There are many comments about this movie and almost all say the same thing. This movie was horrible.Aside from the terrible accents, the serious over-acting, incredibly primitive animation, and numerous goofs, this movie insults our intelligence by having no plot whatsoever.I won't even begin to mention the fact that they know nothing about diving and don't think that I fell for the "underwater" shots. No one can move that quickly in the water and no one can make a decent that fast and then surface even faster without getting the bends. The only reason I watched this whole movie was the fact that I am too lazy to get up when I am curled up in bed with my laptop, my warm blanket and a cat sleeping on my feet. Now I know some brain cells died while watching this movie. Sorry folks, good idea, bad bad, so so bad movie.

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
