Maneater

I mean, what happened? This guy was Michael in Nikita, had a bunch of starring films and now all he does are awful DTV CGI films! He needs to start taking roles that are more risky. This has to be the ugliest shark in the history of cinema. The guy still looks great, has talent, but seems to be in it for the cash. He's the male Eliza Dushku at this point.

Hopefully better movies are on the way. It's been dud after dud and he could do better.

The location was the best part of the whole film.

The CGI shark is atrocious and there are entire CGI sequences like the floating dead body in the water that made this feel like it was an episode of LEXX.

Was this a movie, or a cinematic music video?

The music was TOO LOUD! I couldn't hear a word the actors were saying, because all I could hear was some Mariah Carey wannabe, belting out vocals loud enough to wake the dead!

Even when there was no singing, the music in the background was unbelievably loud, drowning out everything.

For obvious reasons, turning the volume up made it worse. I couldn't get passed the 10-minute mark for this exact reason. I don't feel too bad though, as the film looked gash anyway...and after reading reviews on here, it's clear I dodged a bullet!

In summary: THE. MUSIC. WAS. TOO. LOUD.

Expect stupid characters, expect harmful effects, expect laughably stupid moments, and expect them to do dumb stuff. Maneater (2022) is another example of bad shark movies that go to on demand or just straight to digital.

The characters are of course idiots and make dumb decisions, also the acting is standard. The acting is bad, and it has bad lines of dialogue, but the acting is still boring to watch.

The plot of the movie is the same as other bad straight to digital shark movies, having people do an activity on or around the water, a shark attacks, and they must survive. Which is just repetitive to watch.

The shark has bad CGI and clearly looks fake. Especially whenever the shark attacks and you cannot tell what is happening all you see is blood and bubbles for a couple minutes, while also having the movie feel slow for no reason.

I do not recommend watching this, if you want a good shark movie to watch then watch Jaws (1975) or The Shallows (2016) they will give a better movie experience.

I have seen quite a lot of sharkmovies. Some of which were really bad. This one was beyond bad. Sure when starting to watch this movie I didn't expect much of it, however it was even worse. It is not the acting, or casting, which ain't good, but those neednt to be good in these kind of movies. It is the plot and script writing which are terrible and the direction isn't any better. People hardly feel fear, anger or sadness. Without any ruining spoilers it is safe to say that in these kind of movies people die. However it looked like nobody cared. People getting over a loss in a few days or even hours. Furthermore it seems like the filming location took all the budget, since the shark attacks were not shown. The shark itself is probably a Bruce ordered at Wish or Temu. Why 3 stars instead of 2 or even one? Well a good sharkmovie should either be thrilling and score high (Jaws), either be mediocre but at least has some action in it (the Meg) or superbad that is fun to watch (sharknado). This was none of these.

Don't waste your. Time unless. You're a fan of lifetime and hallmark movies.

Acting is horrible.

The music behind the scenes and the music montages will turn your stomach.

It starts off bad, then gets worse.

Poorly written, badly acted and amateurishly directed , I can't believe I wasted $8 on PPV.

I have to write 600. Characters. And. There's. Nothing. More. To. Say.

Just drags on with music and boring writing. You'll be rooting for the shark. ...................
