Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus Reviews
It's beyond incompetent, and it probably also sounds like it's a hoot and a holler as a result. This is not the case.

Mega Swindle vs Giant Rip-Off
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Mar 1, 2011
If ever there was a film that seemed designed with Mystery Science Theater 3000 in mind, this is it.

a goofy if not entertaining piece of filmmaking
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 9, 2010
The risible special effects and the clumsy acting recall not Roger Corman productions but the ineptitude of Ed Wood, though the result is far less endearing.

How this ever got released is a mystery. Unwatchable, almost unreviewable, this stupid monster movie makes the Bela Lugosi swan song Plan 9 from Outer Space look like a masterpiece.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 11, 2009
Like a feud between Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole, you don't care who wins, but it's fun to watch. Alas, the preceding 80 minutes aren't. Great title, lousy film.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 11, 2009
Daft, plain daft. With a few daft but spectacular stunts.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2009
Perez's film ought to be an hour-and-a-half of beery, dumb-ass fun. Instead it has the weary air of a genuinely disastrous disaster movie. Size, it seems, matters after all.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 7, 2009
This film is bad on every level. In fact, it's bad on levels hitherto unexplored by mainstream cinema.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2009
What a drag. This grabby-titled disaster flick - splashing across the pond on a tidal wave of chuckly publicity - is a damp squib.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 7, 2009
They fight, and look rubbish, and one eats an aircraft. Is bad the new good? I wish. Sometimes bad is just tacky.
| Original Score: 0/5 | Aug 7, 2009
For those of you familiar with the trailer, you may as well stop here because you've already seen the best bits, pretty much in their entirety.

Shonky script, shonky FX, shonky acting, and less money than Michael Bay gets out of bed for make this a disappointment after the chuckles generated from that hilarious promo on YouTube.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2009
The acting is terrible (and not in a good way), the script is boring and if you've seen the trailer you've already seen all the effects shots.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 7, 2009
So simplistically done that it makes you feel like you could make a better movie than this on your home computer
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2009
So bad, it's gone past good, hung a left at awful, went screaming down hackwork highway for 50 miles and ended up somewhere in the vicinity of terrible- but-actually-quite-good-fun.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 7, 2009
Better than Transformers 2!

With a bigger special effects budget Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus would be a guaranteed cult classic in the making.

Schlock may be an acquired taste, like caviar, foie gras, and Arby's, but it's hard to see how anyone wouldn't enjoy this extremely tacky dish.
