If I Say

i don't agree with the low rating of 3.8/10

this movie surprised me.i found it better than i expected.i thought it would be pretty lame,instead,its not too bad.i found the story interesting and well paced,for the most part.the acting was adequate for this type of movie.but i didn't like everything about the movie.i found some of the characters,(mainly the villains)too stereotypical for my tastes.that annoyed me a bit.that and some of the dialogue was stereotypical and clichéd.as for the creature itself,i thought it looked pretty impressive at times,and fairly unrealistic and cheap at others.one observation i have is that from an Echo Bridge co-production,this movie was more graphic than any of the others i have seen.anyway,i thought there were more positives than negatives,and i was entertained.for me,Kraken:Tentacles of the Deep is a 7/10
