Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

The Megalodon shark. A prehistoric killing machine 60 feet long, flashing 200 pounds of teeth and weighing over 20 tons. It's the deadliest predator the world has ever seen. The scientists say it's been extinct for more than 10,000 years. The scientists are wrong. In the darkness of the deep, an underwater research station has been viciously destroyed. Now a tough team of daring divers led by Spencer Northcutt [Antonio Sabato Jr. "Melrose Place"] is taking an experimental sub to war. It's killer instinct vs. sophisticated technology, deadly jaws vs. harpoon-tipped torpedoes, mega-shark vs. modern man is a thrilling extreme deep sea fight to the death.

3.0 out of 5 stars Actually a pretty decent movie, December 26, 2003

By	Pen Name (Fairbanks, Alaska) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I saw this in the video store, placed right next to "Shark Attack III," which also deals with a Megalodon. I'm a big fan of Megalodon sharks, having read Steve Alten's book "Meg" and the sequel. I had read the horrible reviews on Shark Attack II and seen the first Shark Attack movie (with Casper Van Dien), and imagined it would be as god awful as those. I know how many bad shark movies have popped up in th last 5 years. Even so, I rented it anyway, and was actually pretty surprised.

Despite Antonio Sabato Jr in the lead role, the acting was fairly decent for this type of movie. The special effects were very well done, and the shark was very realistic, along with the sub. The plot was pretty typical of some of the TBS-made movies you see a lot of, but I rented it more for the action.

I had read some decent reviews of this movie and decided to give it a try. The scenes with the shark were realistic and there was a lot of action. The ending to the film could have been more upbeat, but overall it was fairly entertaining. I wouldn't want to pay to own it, but it's worth a rent.

1.0 out of 5 stars shark fan, April 19, 2003

By	"ragebird19" (Lawrence, KS United States) - See all my reviews

if you want to check out an entertaining movie about megalodons, the 60 foot prehistoric sharks then check out shark attack 3 over this film. not much action in this film, more story driven than anything really. not a whole lot of victims and the shark looks terrible, looks like a shark that just cralwed out of its grave or somethin, not sure what they were thinkin when they put it together. would stay away from this film. jaws and shark attack and deep blue sea are the movies to go for.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is not Jaws!, July 23, 2002

By	D. D'Eugenio (Palm Beach, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had a free DVD rental coupon and thought for free what the heck; after all I love any marine movie about sharks and oceans and adventure. Shark Hunter stars Antonio Sabato, Jr. and that should have been my first clue to shelf the movie and move on. Shark Hunter is no JAWS, not even DEEP BLUE SEA. The film is about a marine biologist (Sabato) that believes that a Megalodon (a prehistoric 60' long shark) is a live and, well hungry! Although the shark has been extinct for thousands of years, a series of destruction and missing people have scientist determined to fight this beast until the end. The overacting and lack of realistic visuals along with a poor script make this less than entertaining. The film is rated R for language? How does a film about a shark terrorizing and eating people not rate an R for suspense, and horror? Don't disappoint yourself; if you enjoy monsters of the deep there are many others to choose from.
