Bad, even for a low budget shark movie...
Right, well we all know what we are in for when we sit down to watch a movie such as "Mississippi River Sharks". I mean, just look at the DVD cover and you already know what it is going to be like.
But still, there is that little voice at the far, far back of your mind that beckons and compels you to sit down and watch it, on the slightest of hopes that this might actually turn out to be a good shark movie.
It wasn't!
"Mississippi River Sharks" was impeded by an overly predictable storyline, which was, in fact, so predictable that even a blind and deaf person would be able to foresee what would happen next. Yep, it was that predictable. And that meant that there were absolutely no surprises or twists or turns along the progression of the movie.
The CGI effects in "Mississippi River Sharks" was downright abysmal and laughable at best. Not once did they manage to make it look realistic, and that just made it impossible to take it the least bit serious.
For a movie in the killer shark genre, or whatever you classify the shark movies as, then "Mississippi River Sharks" was a very generic and mundane addition to the genre, and it offered absolutely nothing new to the genre.
The cast was adequate, taking into consideration the type of movie and its budget size. You had Jason London and Jeremy London in the movie, which should be enough of an indicator of what you are in for here.
If you enjoy shark movies, then I strongly suggest that you sink your jaws, wink wink, into another movie, because "Mississippi River Sharks" is really not worth the time or effort.

A good syfy original film
While not amazing for script, acting or effects....it's fun no thought movie... enjoyable popcorn film. Don't expect jaws or even deep blue sea level quality...no high expectations.
Horrible!!
Horrible movie they tried to make it scary. But it was the worst movie I've ever seen such phony baloney the sharks come out of nowhere even in the air and they eat people alive how phony and how low can they get. I can't believe they would even publish something this bad you'd have to be a total fool to believe even one of these stories in the movie. And the acting was below subpar.
Horrible
Syfy is known for horrible made for TV CGI junk but this one is crappier than usual. I think a group of middle schoolers with a camcorder could have done better. Total waste of time.
We all know what we signed up for
Yes we all love cheap back yard movies, what do you expect? Yes the graphics were cheesy and the romance was cheesy at the end, but it's a guilty pleasure. I've seen way worse movies, and I would've given this movie a 6, but I grew up watching Degrassi with Cassie Steele and I've seen dazed and confused with London so they were cool to see! If you have time to kill, I think this movie is worth watching or at least if you need background noise lol. Don't let the negative reviews turn you away. It's free on tubi. I mean I loved the sharknado movies and that was cheesy lol. People just need to relax and enjoy the movie.
