Super Shark

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

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, 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.

An offshore drilling accident releases a giant shark. When the shark flies and walks on land threatening to kill all in it's path, marine biologist Kat Carmichael arrives to destroy the shark and save beach-goers. Her attempts at saving the day are not helped by the bad guy suit and his flunky, who are only interested in money. With time running out for bikini modelling contestants, and beach loving humans in general, Carmichael must recruit help to destroy the superb shark.

I thought I'd scrapped the bottom of the barrel of awfulness watching 'Sharknado' and it's sequel 'Sharknado 2: The Second One' but at least they were tongue in cheek, with there ridiculousness. Alongside 'Jaws 3' and 'Jaws 4: The Revenge' SuperShark actually seems to be taking itself seriously, at that's it's problem..

2/10 1 point for pretty girls in bikinis (yes really) and 1 point for the effort of making a movie about making a movie about a super shark that can fly and walk on land

SUPER SHARK is another nonsense B-movie monster flick that comes to us courtesy of the SyFy Channel. This one's directed by cheese specialist Fred Olen Ray, so you have some idea of what to expect from the quality: it's ridiculous, nonsensical, and barely hangs together as a proper movie.

The inspiration behind this one, as with so many, seems to be PIRANHA 3D, with the camera repeatedly ogling bikini babes and generally putting to the audience a kind of fun-loving, hedonistic lifestyle. Into this nonsense comes a prehistoric shark which has grown to gigantic proportions and seeks to wreak havoc on the local population. The efforts of the typically evil corporate villains only serve to increase the menace.

You know exactly what to expect from a film like SUPER SHARK, so here we go: bad acting across the board, terrible CGI effects, and a general lack of cohesion. This one's played out in a tongue-in-cheek fashion which at least gives it a mildly campy air. Still, the effects of the giant shark really are terrible, and this is slim pickings indeed for monster lovers.
