Big Shark

"SOPHIA SOPHIA I LOVE YOU SOPHIA!" Damn, Tommy has done it again, crafting another masterpiece of mediocre acting and even more mediocre writing that somehow still has so many unforgettable lines. Not only is this a thriller, it's also a fricking MUSICAL with spontaneous bursts of a cappella singing that will make Vincente Minnelli rise from his grave and clap with approval. "COWBOYS DON'T CRY/HEROES DON'T DIE/THEY JUST SPARKLE IN THE SKY/SO I WON'T CRY." I can't get it out of my head! Seriously, go see this movie the first chance you get. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cringe, you'll wonder what the hell is going on; to quote another iconic musical, "Who could ask for anything more?"

Very very enjoyable with a big audience. Everyone was cheering and laughing. Tommy was in the crowd and loving it. Please watch this with friends or a giant crowd. The movie itself was unfinished, but that made it even better for the audience. The cgi for the shark was so funny, and at times wasn't even finished. Like one shot would have the big shark, and the next it wasn't there. Was definitely an interesting movie. Tommy really outdid himself with it, and I loved every second. 10/10 perfect movie watch with friends and get drunk. Tommy is also an awesome man who is so very strange but wonderful. I love him.

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.

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!

Let's get the obvious out of the way: yes, it's a bad movie and somehow a huge technical step down after 2003's The Room, but I can't bring myself to hate anything Wiseau makes, especially if it made me laugh as hard as this did.

The best way to describe it is it's as if Wiseau decided to mix a John Cassavetes film with Birdemic: Shock and Terror, but with a shark instead of birds. There are so many clearly unrehearsed scenes of the actors talking over each other and having cyclical conversations that it felt like I was watching a nightmare at times. I spent most of the movie trying to guess where Wiseau was going to end a scene because so many just keep. On. Going. The pacing is nonexistent; our lead characters go from speeding away from the Big Shark to getting drunk at a bar and partying as if nothing happened, then they're back to figuring out how they're going to kill it. It's almost frustrating how often the tones switch but the movie never got boring. The first time the shark makes its appearance had me laughing so hard I had tears coming out of my eyes. The logic behind the shark and how it operates is so insane I'm surprised The Asylum didn't pick this up for release to rival Sharknado.

Are there good things about the movie? I mean, the camera they used had a nice quality to it. There are a handful of good looking shots. The shark animations aren't awful, though the complete lack of sound effects when it appears lessen the impact of its rampages. I liked one song used during a party scene. The guy that played Georgie was Steve Howey on 'Reba' levels of funny, I think he was fully aware what kind of movie he was in. Everyone else is clearly trying, but the sound editors definitely did not. Wonder what the hat budget was for this movie, because there are a lot of hats and a whole scene dedicated to hat buying. It's so weird.

I know I'm making it sound like the worst movie ever but seriously, watching this with a crowd was one of the best theater experiences I've had in a while. Everyone was erupting with laughter almost every other minute, whether it be at the technical incompetencies or the truly strange dialogue that never gets any better. There are also moments of Tommy bursting out into song that left me cringing with embarrassment but by the end me and everyone else in the audience were singing along with him.

I recommend it for sure, anyone familiar with Wiseau's work or anyone that finds enjoyment watching badly made films will get so much mileage from this. I'm glad I experienced it, I'm definitely buying it if it ever gets a physical release.
