Reviews
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
mehulwmin Let me get this clear. I am a great lover of syfy trash films and random creature features but this movie is god awful.The movie repeats itself every 10 mins. Again and again and again and again and again and againnnnnnnnnnn......Give this a miss there is better stuff out there!Ice Sharks for example feels so deep compared to this.
Holly Yates Sharktopus 'entrance' theme - Jaws does have its famous theme song but the Sharktopus theme song just sounds like an edited version of the Jaws one. To me, it sounds like the Jaws and Twilight Zone theme put together with the notes, pitch, tempo and instruments changed. Or maybe the TZ theme played backwards? I guess I could say the same thing about the Dinoshark theme.Andy's shirt - Probably one of the most annoying things you have to put up with throughout the film. I have to admit, it's a nice shirt! They should have given him a shirt that didn't have any buttons though.... All through the film, Andy can't make his mind up whether to have it buttoned up, unbuttoned or off. Not sure if this is a poor attempt to impress Nichole or an excuse to show off this abs on camera.
colbehr This was the most ridiculous film I have seen in a while. It got repetitive after a while but it was not very bad. the effects are really bad, any person could do them with ms paint, But the power of VFX was not used as much as bikini babes. There was at least 100,000. The keyboards are typed on by slapping them. (SPOILER) #passwordpumpkin (end SPOILER) There was a lot of ludicrous scenes, for example, the 'cameraman' saw the shark, there were 10 beers on the table, and he was completely sober, he even drove.Thus I rate this movie 10/10. Excellent. Thrilling, Fantastic absurd, crazy, exotic, Fanciful, grotesque, imaginative, implausible, incredible, insane, outlandish AND perfect.
SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain It sounds like something used in a sitcom for a cheap joke. A film so absurd, only a genius would dare suggest it. Sharktopus. Half Shark, Half Octopus. You know already if this is for you. Which is why it's so beautiful. Seeing the set-up for jokes such as a woman going bungee jumping is just great. The brilliance comes from anticipating exactly what is going to happen. This film also has fairly decent CGI, but proves that good effects are not necessary. The film is propelled along by great action sequences and the kind of dialog that should be winning awards. "You've released an 8-legged man eating great white into the wild." "A minor setback!" Eric Roberts does great in his role, and plays it straight but hammy. I sat in awe at some of the scenes and the characters that inhabited the world. They're all here and they are all brilliant. Sharktopus is a great way to spend any evening.
