absolutely bad
Added 7/22/2009
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.

I know what you're thinking: "Oh wow! Cool! That Mexican superhero is getting his own movie for the 21st century!" Well, OK, maybe not...
Maybe you're thinking: "Oh cool! They made a movie based off that obscure comic book superhero! I love that guy! Man I got such a high!" Well, OK, maybe not that either.
What is "Blue Demon"? Take a military experiment, bad actors, every cliche known to man, and special effects that make pencil tests look like Richard Williams films, and you got this. The latter is especially hilarious, with sharks the size of Great Whites literally LEAPING out of knee-high water and eating people. The underwater scenes don't do the movie any justice, and only serve to highlight the weakness of the movie.
So don't see this movie. There are many more productive things you can do, like going to your fridge, opening up a jar of mayonnaise and proceeding to sniff it directly into the nose before screaming, "I'M A CYCLOPS!!"

An Unintentional Howler of shark film
Added 6/13/2009
I give this film 5 stars, because it made me laugh so hard. i don't think that was intention of the director. Like the other reviewers have pointed out it's not the best written film in fact it's awful. I think the writer, producer; director had hands in too many pies, as they'd say. It started out ok but cliché after cliché just ruins an otherwise ok starting, but if you want a laugh then rent this turkey to make fun of it. I'll just give you how bad it is, after watching this howler I like Jaws 4 (The Revenge better.) then this train wreck of a picture. I felt for the actors though they were trying hard, but script was a flop. Happy laughing everyone. The story revolves around a couple of scientists and genetically altered sharks. the effects were'nt all that special either.

Genetically engineered sharks that...
Added 7/26/2007
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.)
