Megalodon: The Frenzy

This movie was bad. And I like low budget movies shark movies. The most irritating thing to me is that there would be scenes of people talking about what they're going to do and why for an unnecessarily long time to the point where you just stop listening. And there were a number of times they did this. Eric Roberts' character made me laugh. His facial expressions had me howling sometimes. The military characters were not believable. I expected the effects to be bad, but when it gets added on top of all the other issues I couldn't look past it. I laughed watching this movie, but I also almost turned it off many times because those long conversations were making me actually mad and impatient.

Eric Roberts looking all cloned up like he's about to have a heart attack or something. He should respectfully retire like Bruce Willis.

Man this movie is sh**"t; failing at trying to replicate meg 2. Its storyline is baseless, CGI effect is trash, the cast comprises nursery/intern amateurs and more annoyingly the whole team looks under-prepared for this movie. Almost like a volunteered probono act sorry to say.

In my opinion, you should watch SpongeBob SquarePants instead of this (My 2cents). Trust me, use those cents for something much more useful. Or play Need for Speed No limit 2015. Don't laugh, I mean this sh...

This and 'The Rising' are about the worst films I've seen, even 50s B movies were better. Writers of absolute rubbish like this have no idea on how to give each 'actor/actress' character, they all sound the same, shouting, over-dramatic dialogue, broken, clipped sentences. When a couple of women got together in praise of each other, it descended into a mutual admiration society. Drippy! Where is a bucket to catch all the syrup running out of the TV? The CGI was hopeless and there is a total lack of research into how the navy operates. How come we have a young-ish woman in charge of a battleship? PC forever! And ship names - US battleships (obviously IOWA class) were named after states; USS KING ? And who came up with that ridiculous name FRAGASSO? How much longer are US movie makers going to inflict such crimes against entertainment on us?

It's a full blown B-movie allright. Dont think for a second that the only "star" (Eric Roberts) is gonna save the day, because his star has faded long ago and he simply looks ridiculous trying to act like a tough military something.

I really meant it when I wrote that these are the kind of movies that they should pay ME for, and pay YOU for, just to go see it.

In my wildest dreams I cannot phantom anyone wanting to pay for this.

The only 2 good things I can say about this picture is that it has got a great title and a great looking poster. And I mean that.

But all the special effects are used up in the first minutes (which dont look impressive) and from then on it's just a parade of terrible B-movie actors in a story that is VOID of ANY quality or thrill.

To be avoided!

Talk is cheap; so we get lots and lots of talk.

I'm a big fan of over-the-top sci-fi movies with ridiculous plots, bad acting and entertaining special effects. The mismatched military branch being represented, the rusted, mothballed, tourist ship that is clearly docked somewhere just adds to the entertainment factor.

The problem is they used to actually try to make a good movie and just didn't have the budget to pull it off. They couldn't reshoot scenes until they looked good so we got an early take. Now, they don't care, they know enough of us will watch whatever they produce, hoping for a low budget gem; so they pump them out as fast as they can.

These are the ugly Christmas sweaters of the movie world. Ugly Christmas sweaters were fun when they were inadvertently ugly and given as actual gifts that the giver thought was nice. When they are manufactured to be ugly it takes away a lot of the fun. These movies are manufactured to be bad and that also takes away a lot of the fun.

One key thing the companies behind these realized is few things are cheaper to shoot than people sitting in a dimly lit room talking about what is going on. So, we now get most of the movie taking place in what is supposed to be some sort of control room. With just 2 or 3 main characters and talking, lots and lots of talking.

I had some hope for this one early on with the sharks eating entire boats in one bite, only seeing 3 people on the entire ship and what even appeared to be people running through a brewery shown as people escaping a laboratory. But after so much talking, I literally fell asleep.
