Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

horrormoviereviews-15751 This movie has to be the most embarrassing movie that the Syfy Channel has ever done. This is another movie with very thin plot lines, dry dialogue, and horrible acting. The movie starts off quite slow and tasteless, scientists discovering two prehistoric sea creatures frozen in ice deep down under the sea. What breaks the ice is a huge whale collapses onto it, unleashing the huge monsters. The thing about these monsters is that they are supposedly smarter than any humans. After they are unleashed, havoc spreads around the world, including an oil rig being exploded by the octopus, and then a super jet destroyed by the shark. What's incredibly wrong with this movie is the special effects. They were lousy and not very advanced. Not recommended.

callanvass Woe is me, was this ever excruciating. I'm probably among the minority of imbeciles that checked this movie out, because of the title. I knew about the bad reviews, I knew it was from Asylum, I knew it was going to be super cheesy, but I love cheesy. It sounded like my kind of movie. I couldn't have been more incorrect if I tried with that assumption. NOTHING happens until around the 75 minute mark. There is endlessly talky dialog that seems to go on forever. I'll give you a small example of how bad it is. "Don't love the Ocean too much. It doesn't love you back" It purposely swindles the viewer with the title, and delivers "F" all for 75 minutes. I expected the creatures to look horrendous, but it has some truly atrocious CGI. It does give us a battle at the end. The shark & octopus do fight one another, but it's so lazy. The fight becomes very redundant, and does virtually the same thing, each time they cut to the creatures battling. The shark rams the Octopus, the Octopus entraps the shark in its tentacles, and refuses to change things or make them remotely interesting. The acting is god awful. Deborah Gibson is ostensibly an 80's pop singer. Shockingly enough, I haven't heard one of her songs. At least I don't think I have. She's gorgeous, and seems to be having fun with the role. I wouldn't call her performance great, but it's tolerable, which is something I can't say for anyone else. Lorenzo Lamas is atrocious. His character is a complete pussy. I grew up with him. I watched Renegade religiously when I was younger, but he is horrible in this film. Everybody in this movie plays it straight faced, I couldn't believe itFinal Thoughts: I should have known better to watch something from Asylum. I'm sure I'll stumble across films from them in the future, but I'm not gonna make a habit of it. The title is nowhere near as fun as it sounds. 1/10

MechaWingZero The unfortunate thing about this movie is that it doesn't deliver on its selling point at all. I love ridiculous Z-grade entertainment, but this film didn't provide that.There is only roughly 15 minutes of the mega shark and/or the giant octopus that the title promises us. Instead, we get these very boring people talking on and on about these monsters. Just talk, talk, and more talk (and not interesting talk, this isn't Tarantino's Death Proof).I wanted to love this movie, I really went into it with a heavy bias in favor of it, but it really disappointed me. No it's not as bad as Snakes on a Train, but that is a really really low standard to compare it to. There are a few moments of this film that I really liked, such as the shark jumping out of the water and taking down an airplane, but these are very scarce compared to the boring dialog.

o-hicks Well, this movie cost me 1 pound and was completely worth it, the acting is terrible, the plot is laughable, but it is supposed to be, I loved this film because it is bad, it is hilarious from start to end and several moments have gone down with me as some of the best movie scenes ever. I mean come on, what is better than seeing a huge shark jump 36000 feet out of the water and in awful CGI eat a plane!? And after that it consumes the golden gate bridge! It is just so funny! I would recommend this to anyone wanting a funny, daft film that costs nothing and will have you in fits of laughter all the way. Not for the drama loving man wanting a serious movie, but come on, with a name like Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus, who is expecting The Kings Speech? They should introduce an Oscar category for ambition and award it to this!
