Not the best or the worst of the Asylum's output. But you do get to see Debbie Gibson fight a giant shark and a giant octopus, so it's not a total waste.

Jack Perez goes ultimate B movie with Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus and it ends up ultimately terrible.
The title is the only thing this film has going for it. Sure, the plot sounds great, but everything that transpires throughout this so-called brief 80+ minute productio

There are plenty of other non-modern B movies than wasting your time with this. This is the sort of film you watch on tv after you lost your job. Horrible. Special Effects are better with my eyes closed. Just go to youtube and watch it first.

Intentionally campy or not, you can't fake sheer incompetence. It was fantastic seeing this immediately after Inglourious Basterds because seriously, what better teaching tool is there to learn about good directing than seeing utterly awful directing? Quentin Tarantino probably e... read more

This motherfucker is going to rock more than any film has ever rocked in the history of rocking. It will rock so hard that it will coin the phrase "Stuck between a rock and Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus". People will have candlelit vigils to celebrate it's coming.

Ah, only an absolute atrocity in cinematic history deserves to be awarded the infamous zero star rating. So, I'll give it the next best thing.

"Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus" is the most ineptly made film I have ever had the sheer displeasure of encountering. Even as an intentionally bad motion picture, this one sucks.
Critic Reviews
If ever there was a film that seemed designed with Mystery Science Theater 3000 in mind, this is it. Full Review
The risible special effects and the clumsy acting recall not Roger Corman productions but the ineptitude of Ed Wood, though the result is far less endearing. Full Review
How this ever got released is a mystery. Unwatchable, almost unreviewable, this stupid monster movie makes the Bela Lugosi swan song Plan 9 from Outer Space look like a masterpiece. Full Review
Like a feud between Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole, you don't care who wins, but it's fun to watch. Alas, the preceding 80 minutes aren't. Great title, lousy film. Full Review
Daft, plain daft. With a few daft but spectacular stunts. Full Review
How could one hate a film where a giant shark jumps out of the sea and brings down a plane? Full Review
Perez's film ought to be an hour-and-a-half of beery, dumb-ass fun. Instead it has the weary air of a genuinely disastrous disaster movie. Size, it seems, matters after all. Full Review
This film is bad on every level. In fact, it's bad on levels hitherto unexplored by mainstream cinema. Full Review
