Sharktopus

Sharktopus delivered exactly what it promised. It was badly acted, badly scored, badly edited, badly shot, badly written, bad special effects, bad continuity, and probably badly catered. However I want a copy of that 'Sharktopus' song from the opening credits to use as my wife's ring-tone. That being said, I still enjoyed watching it. I don't watch these types of moves to be challenged, merely entertained. This movie was so bad that I found myself doing an internal MST3K to it. Congrats to SyFy to finally getting it and playing the whole thing as tongue-in-cheek as you did. These SyFy original movies are not good, and here you finally admitted (more or less) to that fact up front. Thank you SyFy and Roger Corman for yet another (not) cinematic tour-de- force and another enjoyable Saturday night.

Seriously, I thought I was watching a movie from the 60s! But I realized that this is from this year. The plot is horrible, the characters are stupid, and the CGI seems to come out from a cartoon or Windows Paint. But I really want to know on how who writes this garbage and who gives these guys their money. Fly-by companies that think that screwing the public is funny? Or is it people in basements who take about 30 minutes to write the script? No, It's Sci Fi, a company who sold out from classic shows to these abominations of TV. When was the last time they showed a REAL movie with STARS and that was not released straight to DVD?! You can tell me, because I sure don't know.

I really enjoyed this film is was good ole American fun. I played it not knowing what to expect and I was treated to an hour and a half of fun. It just goes to show with a little imagination and good story telling you can create a comedy in a horror film that still ends up being somewhat serious. I liked the fact that everyone involved in this movie didn't take it seriously and I think that's why it worked so well. Bravo to the writer that thought of this... what can I say... fun, fun, fun. The acting was decent of course Eric Roberts stood well above anyone else in it, except his daughter maybe. The story was actually very good, and although the movie was so corny many times it made me laugh but at the same time, so story was engaging. I always think SciFi and Horror writers always get the short end of the stick during Oscar time. To me it takes a hell of a better writer to write something like "Star Wars," "The Matrix" or "Indiana Jones." Anyone can write a drama, but Sci-Fi takes a hell of a lot more creativity. By no means am I saying this movie is an Oscar type movie, I am just speaking my mind on another topic to get my 10 lines in... lol I give this two thumbs up and two toes! Way to go!
