Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus (2010)

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of bad films I felt it my duty to watch at least one giant monster movie from The Asylum. That film: Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus, an utterly abysmal pile of drivel starring a Pierce Brosnan lookalike, a poor-man's Cuba Gooding Jr., a bird with big tits, and two titanic CGI creatures that would have been considered laughable over a quarter of a century ago.When I write my reviews for IMDb, I usually try my best to stay away from the clichés that so often proliferate other comments, but on this occasion I think I'm going to allow myself just a couple:I wish that IMDb had a zero rating because '1' is being far too generous.That's an hour and a half of my life I'm never going to get back.***Looking back, it turns out that I've already seen the prequel to this film, Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus; it doesn't surprise me one bit that I couldn't remember it.***

Okay. MEGA SHARK VS GIANT OCTOPUS turned out to be a silly, overrated, over-reliant-on-bad-CGI piece of spectacle which was far worse than slightly older B-flicks like OCTOPUS and SPIDERS. MEGA SHARK VS CROCOSAURUS offers more of the same, and you guessed it, it's just as bad.It's as bad as 2-HEADED SHARK ATTACK, which I watched the previous day, although a different kind of bad. 2-HEADED SHARK ATTACK was a lot tighter and on a smaller scale, and this one has a bigger budget, with some globetrotting and various locations getting destroyed. At times it recalls the classic Japanese kaiju movies, with cities getting razed by giant critters. But that doesn't make it good.The problem is twofold: the script is terrible and the special effects are even worse. The giant creatures seen here don't even begin to look remotely realistic, and you feel like you're watching a kid's cartoon for the most part. The human story is hardly any better, with lots of cheesy dialogue and bad acting. The only actors of note are Robert Picardo, who must have been wondering what went wrong, and Gary Stretch, a British actor with a notable role as the villain in DEAD MAN'S SHOES, playing an Indiana Jones/Crocodile Dundee type character. I could have forgiven the effects if the story had been okay, and I could have forgiven the story if the effects were good, but this burns on both fronts.

What can you expect from a film called "Mega-Shark Vs. Crocosaurus" (2010)? How about some measure of entertainment? After all, 2000's "Octopus" was surprisingly good, and "Crocodile" was very entertaining. Don't get your hopes up with this one.The title tells you everything you need to know about the plot.The CGI effects are laughable. Grade B films of the 70s-80s look realistic by comparison. The story is barely interesting.On the positive side, they assembled a good cast, led by the always-likable Jaleel White (aka Urkel), Gary Stretch, Sarah Lieving and the guy who played The Doctor on Star Trek: Voyager. They all take the material seriously and you have to respect them for not cracking up.Urkel, an action-hero? Yes, and he works just fine, thank you. Meanwhile Stretch is reminiscent of Pierce Brosnan. As for Sarah Lieving, although she plays a dead-serious Federal agent here, she's almost worth the price of admission, almost.The film runs 88 minutes.BOTTOM LINE: Unlike, say, "Octopus" this one doesn't deliver the goods, but it might be worth some laughs with friends. Thankfully, the likable cast tries to make up for a bad film (notice I said "tries").GRADE: D

I would say it does not live up to Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, but it was still good. Dr. Terry McCormick, Nigel Putnam, and agent Hutchinson were the main characters, and they did good at it. The new beast,Crocosaurus, was a good opponent for Mega Shark, especially that the fact their fight was amazing. But again they both die, this time bombed in battle {funny, nothing that big can explode under water}. The Asylum did especially good on this film, but they could of reused Emma and Lamar.If you see this movie and think its tacky at the beginning, be like me and say, "well, can anyone get a robot that big?" because animation makes a good movie! They did well to show the Crocosaurus 3 minutes in and the Mega Shark 10 minutes in. The places the characters first see the beasts are accurate The Democratic Republic of the Congo and well, no duh, the ocean. My guilt is not quite finishing this, unless I shouldn't be guilty. These movies remind me to watch the other, after this I'll finish 30,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and start Dinoshark. You should really see and review this movie. But remember, animation always makes a good movie, because who can find a huge robot to replace it, right? yes it does because it is the only Red Box movie you can find.But more about the movie. So two gigantic monsters trying to slaughter each other. Crocosaurus want to protect his eggs. Mega Shark wants to escape extinction.But what I don't get is, the film makers have a real aircraft carriers but have to animate helicopters and... TRUCKS!?!?!? Wow, but anyway we all have to love the confidence the Asylum have in themselves they can make better and better movies, but really, Nazis From The Center Of The Earth?!?!?! Wow.Wow. Wow.The visual effects are worst than usual, because they keep repeating the SAME thing!But the fight with the Crocosaurus and the Mega Shark is better than the one in Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus,because again in that movie they repeat the same fight scene.
