One of my all time favorites.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

After watching a huge shark kill his mother and father, "Spencer Northcut" (Antonio Sabato Jr.) has devoted his life to further research on these creatures. He has also helped to assemble a submarine capable of diving into ocean depths that few underwater vessels have ever visited. So when the crew of one particular underwater research vessel is destroyed he eagerly volunteers to man a second expedition. However, his presence aboard the submarine "Argos" doesn't quite inspire all members of the crew and this skepticism is further aroused when he suggests that a megalodon is responsible for the deaths of their colleagues. And as it so happens it is targeting them as well. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that for a "shark movie" this one wasn't too bad. At least I didn't think so. Admittedly, there were some scenes and characters I didn't particularly care for but all in all I found it to be fairly decent. That said I rate it as about average.

The better of the giant Shark films. Compared to Megalodon (2002) and Shark Attack 3: Megalodon (2002), Shark Hunter is almost Oscar material when it comes to acting and script. Although it suffers with a low budget and shamelessly borrows elements from Steve Alten's novel 'Meg' it's the closet thing you'll get to an attempted prehistoric shark film.The pacing and editing are a little awry but some of the practical and special effects are well executed.Die Hard actor Grand L. Bush and hammy Antonio Sabato Jr. for the most part are watchable. Director Matt Codd is wise to hide to shark in the shadows and considering it was made in 2001 the SPFX are adequate. The music score is worthy of note and it has a nihilistic element that breaks the b-film mould with and ending that refreshingly going against the norm.Overall, it's far from great but the best Megalodon film to date.

Now out of all the shark movies I've seen, this one takes the cake! The plot of the movie was good, but the excitement factor sort of took a nosedive afterwards. Antonio Sobato, Jr. does an excellent role as a son who seeks the shark who killed his father. A megaldon is one of the biggest sharks of all and the most dangerous one as well. The view of the shark was indeed scary in some angles, but the effects were a blur, and the scenes were a little weak in some places. With the mini-sub's weapons there, that would take out a whole school of sharks there. It was great that the son would get the exact revenge on that monstrosity, although it would indeed cost him his life as well. Like they say revenge has it's price, but was it worth it? That answer could go on and on, and this movie was a major letdown. The beginning was fine, and at the end, it went like the Titanic. 1 OUT OF 5 STARS!

*One or two spoilers* The CGI megalodon was undeniably great. More convincing than the merely-zoomed-in-on stock footage fish, in SA3! And, the tension-racked arguments between the expedition members was quite realistic. So, I'm willing to be (uncharacteristically?) generous, and give this: 3.1 stars.
