Megalodon: The Frenzy

Talk is cheap; so we get lots and lots of talk.

I'm a big fan of over-the-top sci-fi movies with ridiculous plots, bad acting and entertaining special effects. The mismatched military branch being represented, the rusted, mothballed, tourist ship that is clearly docked somewhere just adds to the entertainment factor.

The problem is they used to actually try to make a good movie and just didn't have the budget to pull it off. They couldn't reshoot scenes until they looked good so we got an early take. Now, they don't care, they know enough of us will watch whatever they produce, hoping for a low budget gem; so they pump them out as fast as they can.

These are the ugly Christmas sweaters of the movie world. Ugly Christmas sweaters were fun when they were inadvertently ugly and given as actual gifts that the giver thought was nice. When they are manufactured to be ugly it takes away a lot of the fun. These movies are manufactured to be bad and that also takes away a lot of the fun.

One key thing the companies behind these realized is few things are cheaper to shoot than people sitting in a dimly lit room talking about what is going on. So, we now get most of the movie taking place in what is supposed to be some sort of control room. With just 2 or 3 main characters and talking, lots and lots of talking.

I had some hope for this one early on with the sharks eating entire boats in one bite, only seeing 3 people on the entire ship and what even appeared to be people running through a brewery shown as people escaping a laboratory. But after so much talking, I literally fell asleep.

This and 'The Rising' are about the worst films I've seen, even 50s B movies were better. Writers of absolute rubbish like this have no idea on how to give each 'actor/actress' character, they all sound the same, shouting, over-dramatic dialogue, broken, clipped sentences. When a couple of women got together in praise of each other, it descended into a mutual admiration society. Drippy! Where is a bucket to catch all the syrup running out of the TV? The CGI was hopeless and there is a total lack of research into how the navy operates. How come we have a young-ish woman in charge of a battleship? PC forever! And ship names - US battleships (obviously IOWA class) were named after states; USS KING ? And who came up with that ridiculous name FRAGASSO? How much longer are US movie makers going to inflict such crimes against entertainment on us?

Eric Roberts looking all cloned up like he's about to have a heart attack or something. He should respectfully retire like Bruce Willis.

Man this movie is sh**"t; failing at trying to replicate meg 2. Its storyline is baseless, CGI effect is trash, the cast comprises nursery/intern amateurs and more annoyingly the whole team looks under-prepared for this movie. Almost like a volunteered probono act sorry to say.

In my opinion, you should watch SpongeBob SquarePants instead of this (My 2cents). Trust me, use those cents for something much more useful. Or play Need for Speed No limit 2015. Don't laugh, I mean this sh...

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.........

Watch and enjoy the trailer, and save your precious time for something fun or enjoyable.

The Meg2 was awesome! Great cast, exciting suspenseful story and beautiful special effects. Nice actions and good pace... It's the Megaladon movie you're looking for.

This is one of those movies you wished you skipped. Even the people playing in it would probably not recommend it.

You can stop reading now.... but I have to fill the 600 words to save you, from watching this abomination.

Some alternatives are "the Meg","jaws","47 meters down" even "toxic shark" is beter, "underwater" was cool but no sharks in that one.

Enjoy your time!
