Megalodon: The Frenzy

The opening is from Asylum, 25 years. When they started out, their movies were some of the worst, and with this movie, they have returned to their roots. Even the CGI is terrible, and today even a good high school film class can produce passable CGI. There is no reason to go into the plot as one soon doesn't care. And the less said about the actors, the better. If one thinks of a really bad movie and compares it to this, that bad movie starts to look pretty good. I am giving it two stars, because I know what I have given one star to, and giving it the same would be a disservice to those films. But those films were real amateur, low budget films where there was not a pretense of a budget. I streamed it, didn't have to pay extra, but I feel I am deserved a refund.

This movie is so bad it's laughable. The acting is atrocious. The effects are bad. But the worst part is the stupidity of whoever wrote the script or maybe it's the continuity or costuming? The military (I use that term loosely), are wearing navy camo and their tag says US Navy....but they repeatedly refer to themselves as Marines. These are NOT the same branches of the military at all and the terms are not interchangeable. Even if nothing else was bad in this movie that would be a big negative to me. Unfortunately everything is bad in this movie. Save yourself! Don't watch this movie.........

This has to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The writing is atrocious, the acting is ridiculous, and the special effects look like they were done for a high school first year project. It's like the entire movie crew did zero research on any subject matter, military and shark behavior. The actors were obviously stumbling over their lines like they had no idea what they were talking about. I love all shark movies even the B type movies from the SyFy channel, but this was worse than anything I've ever seen. Bad acting is usually laughable, but that becomes part of the charm. This bad acting was like a bunch of drunk friends decided to make a movie they knew nothing about.

This movie was bad. And I like low budget movies shark movies. The most irritating thing to me is that there would be scenes of people talking about what they're going to do and why for an unnecessarily long time to the point where you just stop listening. And there were a number of times they did this. Eric Roberts' character made me laugh. His facial expressions had me howling sometimes. The military characters were not believable. I expected the effects to be bad, but when it gets added on top of all the other issues I couldn't look past it. I laughed watching this movie, but I also almost turned it off many times because those long conversations were making me actually mad and impatient.

It's a full blown B-movie allright. Dont think for a second that the only "star" (Eric Roberts) is gonna save the day, because his star has faded long ago and he simply looks ridiculous trying to act like a tough military something.

I really meant it when I wrote that these are the kind of movies that they should pay ME for, and pay YOU for, just to go see it.

In my wildest dreams I cannot phantom anyone wanting to pay for this.

The only 2 good things I can say about this picture is that it has got a great title and a great looking poster. And I mean that.

But all the special effects are used up in the first minutes (which dont look impressive) and from then on it's just a parade of terrible B-movie actors in a story that is VOID of ANY quality or thrill.

To be avoided!
