      Texas Theater Premiere

      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.

      Big Shark

      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!

      Oh, hai, Shark!

      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!

      Fans of Tommy's previous work will appreciate the unique energy of his new horror monster film.

      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.

      Interesting film

      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.

      • Trivia
        In 2021, Greg Sestero has admitted that there were no plans for Big Shark to begin production and that the "trailer" released online in 2019 was nothing more than a concept pitch, but he has expressed interest in seeing the film get made in the hands of another filmmaker. In March of 2023, a new trailer unexpectedly dropped, revealing that Wiseau had finally completed the film and would be released later in the year.
