Big Shark

I was invited to see this movie and after reading the reviews, I thought what the hell. Why not see a movie at 10PM in this disgusting theater in Dallas, and WHY a premiere??? I had to leave an hour in because I couldn't hear a damn word. The crowd attracted to this movie is utter trash. If you've seen Gremlins, that scene of all them in the theater, that's the crowd. Loud. Throwing spoons? Drunk. Making inappropriate comments about body parts and screaming random stuff trying to be funny. I work too hard to be surrounded by idiots and yeah, I said it. So now this movie... I gave it an honest 3. Wish I could've heard the damn thing! They did a lot of nonsense improving, talking over each other yet I could tell they spent a lot on the shark and CGI. The acting wasn't bad, I've seen worse. The scenes were cut weird and drawn out but that's what makes these movies so popular I guess. I'll never know what happens unless it's screened in the comfort of my own clean home. If Tommy decides to make more movies and he wants a premiere, premiere them in a normal theater to weed out the trash.

Just watched this back to back with The Room, and the only question that needs answered is whether this is as much fun as The Room. My answer is No, but it's still a lot of ridiculous fun in the cinema.

The Room is a one-off, loved & admired by film aficiancdos as much as b-movie lovers for its unintentional ridiculous direction & writing, and when you watch it in the cinema the effect is multiplied. It's so much fun to watch in a fun-loving crowd.

Big Shark makes it way up along to The Room, and Tommy Wiseau is still Tommy Wiseau. This is really just a Sci-Fi channel movie with the expected nonsense. It's daft, it's corny and funny.

It isn't anywhere near as much fun as The Room, but don't fret, as in the cinema with a jolly crowd, you'll have a fun time.

Enjoy!

In order to fully appreciate this film you need two things. Lots of drink before it starts and a decent amount of audience participation. That's because it's terrible. Now I know that the creator of "The Room" (2003) was unlikely to deliver us an award-winning epic, but I think even I was disappointed by just how poor this is. When New Orleans is threatened not only by rising flood waters, but by a menacing shark it falls to three highly decorated fire-fighters to find away to save their city. The acting and dialogue are like a very bad rehearsal for a "Bill & Ted" film, the visual effects stop being entertaining fairly quickly and that just leaves us with a mess of a movie that all-too-often just made me cringe. Tommy Wiseau is clearly a shrewd man, but this attempt to make a silk purse from a sow's ear is just risible on about every level and even with ensemble guffaws of embarrassment from the other suitably lubricated folks in the cinema it becomes pretty much unwatchable. A parody of many other films, it may be trying to be - but for me, well it's just not funny!

A masterpiece from the best director of all times. I've been expecting this sequel to The Room (in spirit!) for two decades. The shark is beautifully rendered, and reminds me of Chris-R. The athleticism of the actors is matched only by the tuxedo-clad football players. Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" comes second to "Big Shark" in the genre. The blood on his jaws reminds me of Lisa's red dress. The world would be a better place if more people saw "Big Shark". I won't spoil the movie - the details are confidential - apart from this one: Big Shark is literally tearing us apart. Well done, Tommy! And for those who have bad reviews - leave your stupid comments in your pocket!

Tommy Wiseau's latest horror monster film is an enjoyable ride that's true to his signature style, with nods to his cult classic 'The Room.' The film's imperfections add to its charm, and it's clear that Tommy put a lot of heart into it. The story and characters are well-crafted and entertaining, making up for any limitations in the movie's budget. Best watched with friends, you'll laugh, sing along, and maybe even shout at the screen. If you're a fan of Tommy's previous work or simply looking for something different in the horror genre, this film is worth checking out. But be warned, seeing this movie in theaters may turn into a midnight rocky horror style experience that you won't forget anytime soon.
