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.
Some enjoyment, but still a medicore movie
I found this one to be a medicore killer shark movie that I watched. There barely any story to be found in this movie because its your usual shark attack movie. Even the location isn't anything too extreme or special about it. The movie feels like it's stalling for time due to scenes that drags on too long and most of the human stuff is really boring. It's mostly your usual stuff with relationship between characters, one guy refused to cancel the event, and other stuff that doesn't matter. As for the enjoyment factor, there little enjoyment to be found in it. There are a couple of ridiculous moments like the shark goes through a guy chest and one guy got a shark onto him while he's walking. But the movie is mostly dull for the most part because there's not that much excitement to be found in it. And the movie has a anticlimactic ending to it, but I do like how they kill off the rest of the sharks.
I found the characters to be pretty boring and uninteresting throughout. Most of them plays generic tropes you see in any movies out there and some of them are obnoxious. Also, some of them are extremely pointless like that reporter lady. The acting isn't the worst, but feels stiff in some parts of it.
Just like many of these shark movies, the CGI looks pretty bad. They looks like it came from a Playstation 2 game and it looks like they use stock footage of real sharks in it. There also a serve head that looks really awful on how fake it looks.

I think a shark made this movie
Watching Mississippi River Shark is like subjecting yourself to the worst kind of cinematic torture. The movie's budget must have been no more than a few dollars, because the special effects are laughably awful. The sharks look like something straight out of a cheap video game from the early 2000s, and they barely move in any way that resembles real life. The acting is so wooden that I wouldn't be surprised if they cast random people off the street.
The plot? Don't even bother trying to make sense of it. It's as if the writers didn't care about making anything even remotely believable. Sharks in the Mississippi River? Really? Everyone involved in this movie seems to have completely given up on logic or quality. It's an embarrassing attempt at a creature feature that fails on every level. Save yourself the headache and skip this disaster.

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.

Amazingly bad movie
Not sure what others are seeing, but this move is simply pitiful. Even for the pseudo sci-fi genre, this one is a real stinker.
