Summary: 4 Stars
OK, I have vague recollections of seeing the awful SHARK ATTACK 1 on cable a couple of years back and have never even seen SHARK ATTACK 2, but nothing could prepare me for the sheer unadulterated awfulness of SHARK ATTACK 3 - MEGALODON!!! This is primo bad movie material here, folks, harkening back to the grand ole' exploitation shark flicks of the 70's and 80's. Move over GREAT WHITE, move over TINTORERA, move over MAKO JAWS OF DEATH! There's a new kid on the block!
MEGOLODON is not the usual dull-as-dirt DTV crap that fills up Blockbuster's shelves every month. This one is unbelievably awful, over-the-top, and absolutely absurd from start to finish. A giant prehistoric shark is terrorizing a Mexican resort and chomping down on every living human it can get its jaws around. You know you're in for a good time when the smartest character in the whole film is a dog that refuses to go into the ocean and lets the shark eat its master instead! Hilarious dialog, awful acting (with bad dubbing), stock footage that stands out like a sore-thumb, graphic gory violence, and even some nudity to keep things a bit sleazy - it's all here and done with so much gusto that you can't help but have a good time even though you know all along how truly terrible it is. I'm telling you, you have not lived until you've witnessed the shots of a giant shark head spouting from the water and swallowing boats whole. And when's the last time you heard a lead character tell his new girlfriend something like "You know, I'm really wired...what do you say I take you home and eat your ******." OMG!!! Unbelievable madness!!! Joy joy joy!
If you wanna see one of the all-time worst and re-live that old feeling of watching some bad euro-import from the late 70's, this one delivers the dumbness in big doses. It may have been made in 2002, but it looks and feels like a terrible drive-in flick from two decades ago. Good movie fans, proceed with caution. Every one else, check this thing out! Manohman!
Movie Review: Really, really BIG sharks
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the third movie in the thematic Shark Attack series, unrelated movies involving sharks in some way.The prehistoric ancestors of great white sharks have been lured from the deep trenches where they have survived for millennia. At a Mexican resort, a water patrolman finds a shark tooth on a dive. He tries to figure what type of shark it is from but cannot find a similar tooth on the Web. He then posts a query with a phot of the tooth.
Well, the tooth belongs to a megalodon, the ancestor of the great white, which can reach lengths of 70 feet or more. A paleontologist sees the post and travels to Mexico to prove some of her theories, but she keeps the nature of the shark a secret from the locals.
But soon there are some attacks and it becomes known that the shark is there. It is a 15-foot baby. It seems to be attracted by an underwater fiber-optic cable that has a major junction just off the coast.
Our heroes set of to catch or kill the shark. It looks like they are successful when suddenly an adult shows up in a dramatic scene.
Now the hunt really begins. We have paleontologists, divers, hotel owners and communications conglomerates all coming together for the final quarter of the film.
No one built a 70-foot robot shark for this movie. Instead, creative use of camera angles gives a sense of massiveness to the shark footage. Very well done with a relatively small budget, but without the small-budget feel.
This movie seems to be a retelling of the book Extinct by Charles Wilson, but I could find no mention of it.
If you like shark movies, then you will probably like this one.
Movie Review: Captain Jack Takes on the Dinosaurs
Summary: 4 Stars
I will admit to viewing this movie solely for the purpose of seeing John Barrowman. As a fan of his most recent works in Doctor Who and Torchwood, I knew going into this movie on what to expect.
All of the negative reviews for this movie are exactly true, it's class A cheese, the scientific facts are dubious at best, the shark is more laughable than anything scary and the green screen work is pure hilarity.
But come on, you don't watch a movie like this for it's cinematic aspect, you watch it because of how bad it is. I haven't laughed so hard during a movie then when I did in watching this. So, 4 stars on keeping me entertained and here's to every really cheesy B movie out there!
