Review of Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009) by Christine B — 18 Jul 2009

You would think that a megalodon and a frickin massive octopus battling it out for the oceans of the world would be a fun movie.

I mean, it sort of it. I had hoped that the bad special effects and truly horrible, unconvincing acting would come together to create some kind of hilarious idiotic 'scary' movie that was at least fun to laugh at. In this case, I was wrong.

It gets one star for the scene where the massive shark jumps out of the air and catches a plane in its jaws.

Loses points for, well, everything else.

There weren't even real images of alive sharks or octopuses, just really badly blown up graphics that you only saw several seconds of. The fight scenes between Octopus and Shark were replayed several times at different angles. How many times can you bite off the same tentacle? Apparently, at least three times.

I had expected it to be bad, but not THIS bad :P and I fell asleep halfway through (and watched the end in fast forward later on).

Defs not worth the time. stick to deep blue sea, much more fun!
