    Giant shark, do do do do ... giant shark do do do do

    I am guessing you may have heard the song "Baby Shark" and I apologize for putting this back into your head. But as silly as the song is, the movie seems even sillier. CGI sharks in the water, CGI sharks on land ... well they are kind of everywhere. And this actually makes Sharknado look like a masterpiece.

    But let's not get ahead of ourselves. This is really just for the hardcore shark horror (or animal horror?) fans out there, that can't get enough of this stuff. Everyone else should really just avoid this. No real character moments and even the "battle" at the end (which is also given away at the beginning of the movie) is horrendous

    hilariously bad!

    Don't even try to take this film seriously, because it's obviously made for laughs. I saw it with some friends on a "b-movie night" and we laughed our asses off! The overly plastic animation of the shark, how it attacks and the clichés of the main characters almost getting it on with each other on screen, the bad acting (seriously, these "actors" are even worse than you in drama class), the way how the shark overcomes the attacks, etc etc.

    Even the camera work could've been better, but this film is just another stick of hay on the postmodern pile where I'm looking for needles that don't have "property of Christopher Nolan" laser printed on them (although he barely touches Kubrick's genius, but that's another topic).

    If you're a critic you will hate it, if you wanna see a movie for super laughs, get super shark.

    For laughs only

    Pretty obvious the only reason to watch a movie titled "Supershark" on the SyFy channel is that you just need a good laugh. These knock-off movies of other stuff (in this case, Jaws) are the cable TV equivalent of the old Drive-in 2nd feature; made quickly and on the cheap, and it gives a few actors and tech people a chance to pay the rent.

    Lead actress Sarah Lieving hopefully will get some better roles; she's definitely easy on the eyes, and not half-bad an actress, either (even with a ridiculous script like this). She plays a rogue scientist who got the boot for weird ideas, and now wants to find a big shark and yell at some big companies about being more green to the environment.

    I love how the army sends about five guys to combat a monster killing people left and right: a captain and a few grunts. Their most powerful weapon is a tank designed to walk on feet. The director's idea of an army is not the only thing exposing the $99.99 budget; he also skimped on the FX, they're pretty much home PC grade CGI. The actors aren't given much guidance on what he wants them to do. It was humorous to see that the shark only ate dumb people that stood there on the beach waiting o get devoured. There's also a gabby DJ that talks to people on the radio as they're getting killed. Judging from how annoying he was, they may have been better off.

    Utter nonsense, but good for a few laughs.

    whoo-eee, what a stinker!

    Ahhhh….Supershark, it can fly, it can walk, it can swim! What do three horny lifeguards, a marine biologist and a loser beach bum in a cowboy hat have in common? They all have an encounter with Supershark in their destiny. Fred Olen Rey, a director with three decades of proved hits under his belt—like "Bikini Girls from the Lost Planet" or "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers"—proves once again what he can do with a low budget, and it's not very much. This movie lacks everything that might interest you, good acting, good writing, good special effects; it is almost laughably bad, but not quite, in other words it's just bad bad. It does have one unique feature, as it gives us the answer to the question: "What ever happened to JJ "Dyn-O-Mite" Walker, former TV star from the series "Good Times"? Then again, some questions are better left unanswered, and Supershark is one film best left unseen.

    Another very low budget shark film

    Another very low budget shark film, spectacularly poor animation as seems to be so popular in these movies recently. A movie along the same lines as 'Mega Shark' and the like. The animation is a problem I can accept in these low budget films, however a half reasonable storyline is something I cannot go without and i'm sorry but this film doesn't have one. The acting isn't bad, giving it the edge over its rival films. Therefore if you must watch one, make it this, however I would recommend you lift a good book (or a poor one for that matter) or get an early night. It would be a much more useful way to pass the time. You can thank me later.

      Shortly after the beginning of the movie, when the two men are scuba diving, we hear them talking to each other during their dive, but the breathing apparatus' that they are using make it impossible to speak underwater.
