TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
denis-01199 One of the most beautiful Movies I've ever see. Just beautiful...
bheadher ...and it never will be. But, in its' own way, the movie is rather compelling...mostly, of course, because of the subject matter. The story of the Loch Ness Monster has been told for many years, and this time with a different angle.The movie itself has a slow, laid back feel throughout, and yet has has some action sequences as well. What is surprising is that the all encompassing theme is more of a love story within a love story. I won't explain that, other than say "monster" doesn't really describe the legend.And that becomes the point of the movie in the end...some legends deserve to "live on" as legends...
squicker How we laughed at this trite balderdash that was on TV today. Evidently made by some pea-brained Yank nitwit who has spent maybe 3 seconds in Scotland, regaling the entire film with stereotypes. Eating haggis, tartan blankets, stock names - Campbell, Angus...Blah blah.Letting even the youngest child watch this is tantamount to removing all independent thought.How on earth Ian Holm ended up in this garbage is utterly beyond me. The rest of the 'actors\actresses', director and writer, don't give you your day jobs.Worth watching for humour value only.Ben
johntheminiman Okay, it's not exciting but it's still a great film - ideal for 'pleasent' viewing. The cast are brilliant, especially Joley Richardson and Kirsty Graham as mother and daughter - although it is a little unfair to imply that these two alone make the film watchable; others (Ted Danson, Ian Holm, & James Frain) really do help to make this a great film. The story is slow and gentle, making it great for a quiet viewing session. The special effects are limited which allows for the storyline to show through and, even though the end is a little predictable, It's still good to watch right through to Rod Stewart's brilliant closing song. Go for it, I watch it over and over when the mood takes.
