i have never read jaw by peter benchley but have of course see the movie andjaws be consider to be one of the few film that improve greatly onthe book . much of this i be tell be to do with a large number of subplots be jettison in the adaptation and leave only the main plot of a man eat shark and of the protagonist mission to kill it . one can not help think the producer of this movie should have do something similar the major problem be that much of the running time be take up with a bunch of bad guy want to get their hand on a very expensive greek opal . in many way the story resemble another benchley story the deep which might not be a problem a such but when you have get a film call kraken representtentacles of the deep then a prospective audience be expect a giant squid to be the focus of the story rather than human . the producer seem aware of this shoehorn a squid attack just to remind the audience there a squid central to the plot when in fact it the producer themselves who obviously need remind a it produce by nu image film the production value be rather poor with the squid be a rather obvious cgi creation . like nearly every film feature a giant squid it make a roar sound ( squid be mute ) and can grab people off the deck of ship ( consider impossible by lead scientist ) and of course when someone get devour underwater there a big bubble of blood rise to the surface . not only that but biologist be all in their early twenty and have blonde hair and walk around in bikini top thereby expose their admirable mammary gland . one can not help think nu image film and the sci fi channel be in cahoot to get more guy to sign up to university science class . i doubt however if anyone who work on this film would be able to spell the word science .
