Every now and then along comes a film so bad, that its actually good. You know what I mean, there was Excellent "Starship Troopers" and the preposterous but still entertaining "Snakes on a plane" and "Deep Blue sea".
With the title "Mega Shark V Giant Octopus" how could I not watch this. This film was truly awful yet some how it was compelling viewing, it was as if this film was so incredibly terrible (now that's bad) that it did a 180 degree turn and became watchable.
This film had every cliche that you could predict and then a few well placed extras...
- An unbelievably stupid villain, who was bound to die stupidly.
- Extras who seemed so confused every time they appeared, that I felt sorry for them
- One building was used to represent numerous government and secret locations.
- Mean (dumb) looking soldiers wearing sunglasses standing under flashing red lights.
- Scenery last used in the original Star Trek TV series.
- Dialogue that was first used in the 80's "My god what have we done" (the answer to that question was "the incredibly obvious")
And speaking of the 80's, the main character was the American superstar from that glorious decade, nope it wasn't Madonna, Cindy Lauper or even Tiffany, but Debbie Gibson.
What do you mean who?
Anyway this film did however have a few saving graces, for instance there was an Irish actor in it and if this guy wasn't Irish then I have discovered the first American that can do a real Irish accent.
- The CGI may have been truly truly awful, but the imagination of the high school kid who came up with the ideas was wonderful.
Anyway here is the trailer, watch, enjoy and then run away laughing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa7ck5mcd1o
