Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus

I don't expect much from the Asylum - and this still managed to fall short. Sarah Lieving was easily the best thing in it. Put it this way, there were only two things worth seeing in this movie, and they weren't the Mega Shark and Crocosaurus.

2/10.

Wow! I'm not normally a big fan of documentaries but I LOVED this film. The CGI was insanely realistic and the acting was top-notch. It baffles me how this film doesn't have more awards. I genuinely don't understand how this film isn't talked about more.

I have to admit that I did get a good laugh when watching Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus. And it wasn't because it was hysterically funny. It's because it is so awful. I will give credit and say SyFy have done worse with the likes of Quantum Apocalypse, Camel Spiders, Battle of Los Angeles, Mega Piranha, Dinocroc vs Supergator, Titanic II and 2010:Moby Dick.

That is not saying much though. The soundtrack is okay if not great and the scenery is serviceable, but that's all good I can say really. The special effects do look really cheap, as though they had been constructed in a rush. The editing is also slapdash. What's even more sad is that neither the shark or the crocodile have any menace to them.

Even worse is the dialogue. SyFy movies are notorious for awful dialogue that are ridden with clichés and banality, and Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus is no exception. The story is really daft and unengaging, with plot holes and scenes that don't make sense galore. The characters are underdeveloped, the direction is sloppy and the acting is poor with the actors trying to bring a comedic element to the film and for some a sense of youthfulness, but seeing as the material is so bad it doesn't work. Jaleel White is the worst, he is not only miscast but awful.

All in all, a bad SyFy movie, but not the worst. 2/10 Bethany Cox

After a long time thinking about this movie I came up with two theories about its existence:

1. On some weekend in the early 80's a group of 14-year-olds sneaked into an empty Hollywood studio. Without any clue, script, or skill but a lot of beer and dope they shot this film in a few hours. Afterwards, when sober they figured how disastrous and scary the result was (even for drunk high school kids), and they tried to destroy the tape. But somehow it got into the hands of The Joker who thought it was a powerful weapon of mass destruction if ever published – well, he was wrong, but close.

2. This production was meant to become the worst movie of all time. But it still failed to make it. From the worst movie of all time I definitely expect to have fun watching it. But this one is pure pain – the Joker was not that wrong.

If there wasn't two or three actors I recognized from somewhere else I wouldn't have believed that there was a single film professional involved in this "thing".

My recommendation: Rather use the 88 minutes it takes to watch it, for reading the newspaper from 4 weeks ago. Afterwards you will regret it less.

I guess you need to have movies like this to offset the seriousness of Hollywood sometimes. The title says it all. If you didn't know this was going to be super cheesy then you gotta be dim or something. Thought it was hilariously bad. From the first scenes of the freighter with the tarp and giant fin in the forground (took my 3 views to figure out what was that supposed to be?) to the scene of the order for the Arc Flash going through chain of command -"Yes you heard me right, an arc flash. Thats an order." .....hilarious.

The guy gets chomped up by the croc and suddenly the croc collapses and he walks out of the mouth. What did he do in there?

The 1500 croc loaded up (How?) on the flatbed. Must have been a big flatbed.
