OK, here's the deal. Don't expect The Green Mile or Shawshank Redemption here. This is a B Grade Comedy that is very creative and fun. If you have watched the Mega Shark series and want more then this is by far the best of the lot. Its fun, silly and the dialogue is positively hilarious.
I suggest: Watching this with kids Watching it while high / stoned watching it if you are very forgiving of low budget fun movies.
I watched this with a 6 year old it it really is a great way to have fun with the family. Kids love the animals and Adults love the absurdity. People that rate this movie badly are equating it to big budget movies. That's hardly fair bu whatever, If you fall into any of the above categories then give it a try and be forgiving when rating this.

I like to watch movies with bad CGI, but this was horrible.
The Mega Python and Gatoroid are supposed to fight, not team up on Tiffany and Deborah Gibson and A Martinez.And whats up with all the babies, Biting, Screaming, Scrathing and thats just the GIRLS, you said that movie producer, you said that.And we don't give a **** about Tiffany and Deborah Gibsons cat fights, bring out the monsters! Alright, lets cut to the chase, the plot is good, the acting was O.K, the CGI, no.Violence was very good, but the dialogue was stupid!But the movie was a LOT better than The Terminators (he,he).
I would recommend this to any B- movie lovers so you better watch it, movie nerds, watch it.

As I have said many times, I have made no secret of disliking most of SyFy's output. I kind of knew that Mega Python vs. Gataroid was going to be bad, and it was. However, because the concept was intriguing, it started off alright and because Deborah Gibson and Tiffany were decent, it is not as unwatchable as something like Quantum Apocalypse, Alien vs vs. Hunter or Titanic II.
The special effects are crude-looking and in my opinion not used very well, as the film is often very silly and lacking in tension and atmosphere, while the camera work and editing are slapdash. As I said, Mega Python vs Gataroid has a good concept, it starts off well and has a quite enjoyable scene involving a meeting to save the everglades, but the sillier it gets the more meandering the storytelling becomes. The film is rushed, too short, has some really absurd dialogue and the acting excepting the two leads is painful especially from Micky Dolenz.
Overall, although it is a bad movie, I can't bring myself to entirely hate it. 3/10 Bethany Cox

Now, somewhere between the non serious title and the fact that this movie went straight to cable on the SyFy Channel, one certainly should get the idea that we are not dealing with "Gone with the Wind" here, but with a silly monster movie. But there is still a place for that. Sometimes some of us have had it with too many serious things in life and we just want to watch something light and silly, and movies like these fill that urge. The fact that several of us voted to watch it proves the point.
The good points? The rivalry between the two main actresses at times was interesting. The rest of the movie sort of went along with expectations. And by that I mean, the acting and drama did not even get to good, the special effects did not rival Jurassic Park, and no university professor (who is not high) is going to buy the explanation for the larger monsters and how they got that way. The bottom line is, if you are in the mood for something that you know is not serious nor pretends to be serious, this might fill some time for you.
Regrets from me after watching it? Some movies that know they are not the big time sometimes reach cult classic fame with the right amount of silliness and interest such as "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes". I think this movie tried for that category also, but I do not feel it achieved that either. But I give it credit for being honest as to what it really was - a non serious monster movie.

Don't you just love when the infamous Asylum production discriminates your brain? It's just intolerable! I know, now you're thinking "then why did you watch that film?", because I want to issue a warning to all people who loves to watch movies, to avoid this at every cost. So, this movie was directed by Mary Lambert who directed "Pet Cemetery" and it's sequel. But, Mary is definitely one of those directors whose career was washed up and so, she joined the Asylum. Now
I don't know
I bet that producers of Asylum are the fans of Debbie Gibson and Tiffany
And they took this failed director and these two failed singers
oh yes, how did they call them? The 80s pop sensations? What sensations? The two of them had only one hit song that sucked big time. And they obviously wanted to show some kind of rivalry between the two "pop sensations", and they did it with the duel on a party, which was one of the funniest things I have ever seen
especially in the film that, like
tends to be somewhat "serious"
That duel was predicted by Bill Hicks, if you ask me
Now, what to say? Directing was horrible, acting was dreadful (all actors in this film
wow
they never ever heard about acting. Tiffany and Debbie were characters that presented a last straw in this crap, two failed "pop sensations" in failed movie career. Are they that dumb, not to notice that the joke was on their expense?), editing, music score, camera work, well
that's asylum
and CGI which is the highlight of badness
no need to talk about this
in this moment, my fingers are shivering and my brain hurts! Avoid this and do something better with your life, fill your bathtub and practice holding your breath for a
two hours. It's far more exciting than watching this turd.

- TriviaAt the end of the party brawl between Nikki (Debbie Gibson) and Terry (Tiffany), Nikki says, "I think... we're alone now." followed by Terry saying, "There doesn't seem to be anyone around." These lines are in reference to a song covered by Tiffany in her 1987 self-titled debut album. "I Think We're Alone Now" reached #1 on the Billboard charts in the U.S.
- GoofsWhen Diego rescues Nikki from the swamp, he is piloting a bubble-type helicopter complete with two doors. When he helps her climb into the cockpit from the rope ladder that he has dropped down to her, both of the doors have mysteriously disappeared. As she climbs into the front seat, she closes the door, which has now reappeared, and the rope ladder has now mysteriously disappeared.
