Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus

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 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.

Yes, it was ridiculously horribly bad, but some reason, I enjoyed it.

The effects looked cheap - because they were, the acting was overdone - maybe on purpose, the soundtrack was horrible, the camera work and editing was bad, the script was at best horrible. So many parts to this movie did not make any sense.

So why did I like it? With a title like Mega Shark Vs Crocosaurus, how could you not? So many clips were reused in piecing this scrap together to make a movie.

It was so bad on so many levels and so stupid, that it was good for that reason alone.

I could only imagine if this had a real budget,. a real script, a real cast and was not the cheap movie that it is...how good would it be? Who would have been in it if it was a Hollywood big budget movie?

It kind of feels like a given to rate a film like this so low, even allowing for the fact it is unlikely any sane film watching person expected anything other than the cheap cheesy picture that it is. The expectation levels are still further finely tuned if one has been privy to the previous hokey horrors of Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus. Of course the problem with these run of films coming out of The Asylum film studio (see also Mega Python vs. Gatoroid), is that they tread the thin line of being bad but entertaining, or bad and insulting? Then there is the question of if the actors are taking it serious as well? If they are then they should be stripped of their equity cards, if not then they should be lauded as comic geniuses. With Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus the answers aren't abundantly clear, but it does have moments of levity, for better or worse that is. Enter with caution, you are now entering the crazy world of cult cheese.

2/10 on an artistic level and 7/10 for comedic value.
