MEGASHARK VS. GIANT OCTOPUS

[indianasmith]

Bad.  Awful.  Putrid. Laughable.  Groan-inducing! 

This was one of the biggest wastes of celluloid I have ever seen.  How many cliches can they stuff into one movie?  And the reality flaws were so gaping they would make WyreWizard's head explode!!!

First of all, the giant shark is immediately identified as Megaladon from the huge tooth fragment they pull out of a mutilated whale that washes up on the beach.  OK, postulating a Megaladon survival, that is possible, even plausible.  But what no one even comments on is the fact that this Megaladon is TEN TIMES bigger than any specimen in the fossil record!  His TEETH are 8 to 10 feet high!!!  Then, there's the scene where he JUMPS hundreds of feet out of the water to snag a passing jet liner . . . or when he bites a destroyer in half (except the ship in question as at the very least a heavy cruiser!).  And how many scenes can they show of the "scientists" pouring differently colored fluids into beakers and smiling with satisfaction at the result?

Bad plot, bad dialogue, bad CGI, and not a single character who isn't a walking cliche.

You will either hate this film . . . or else you will love it for being so awful.

Either way, check it out.

My 15 year old daughter's commment:
"That movie wasted two hours of my life!!"

Doesn't arrive on my shores till the third of August.

Fingers crossed that it's as bad as you say !

But... it stars an aging LORENZO LAMAS and DEBBIE GIBSON!  And it's from ASYLUM!  How bad could it possibly be?

The trailers leave me hopeful...but then, I enjoy White Castles.
It looks insane in agood way.

A friend of mine is supposed to be getting this from net flix  this week so I should have some thoughts by this weekend about this movie event of 2009............ or not.

Then, there's the scene where he JUMPS hundreds of feet out of the water to snag a passing jet liner . . .

Please tell me that the airliner was flying around with a big bite-shaped hole missing from the side of it 

[BakuryuuTyranno]

An entire movie of cliches. Ouch.

Actually, I saw Michael Bay's Transformers, so I too have been through the displeasure of sitting through a movie that was written by pulling cliches out of a hat. That was the very epitome of "boring".

His TEETH are 8 to 10 feet high!!!

Well, what would you say if Mega Shark (I looked it up) was about to eat your airplane?

That IS Jake Gyllenhaal - right?

[indianasmith]

AAAAHHH!!!! You made me see it AGAIN!!!!!!!!!   

BTW, What is up with the bendy wings on that airplane??

[Raffine]

You're welcome! 

I wondered about those wings, too. I thought I had missed some news in the development of 'Condor Airlines' passenger jets.

LOL! that would make the shark a few thousand feet!

Okey...in the real world, the plane would have instantly shredded as it got hit by a mass that big. Just gone to pieces...
In the MOVIE world...physics can take a holiday, and let the cheese begin!

I'm tired of these muthaf**kin' sharks eatin' this muthaf**kin' plane!
