I bought this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend who is a serious Debbie Gibson fan - teenage crush kind of thing. He loved it (OK, he loved Debbie Gibson) but this has to be one of the worst movies I have had to endure! The only one worse than this was Clash of the Titans. My boyfriend specifically requested this movie for his birthday, otherwise I never would have wasted my money. If you just have to see this piece of trash, rent it (if you can) or buy it used (unless you are stuck, like me, with buying it as a gift - too tacky to give some one a used DVD as a gift).

MEGA SHARK VS GIANT OCTOPUS
Oh that silly Asylum is up to it again this time bringing forth two giant creatures from the sea to do battle. Well that is of course if they don't kill all of us as well, oh them crazy monsters. The Asylum Productions is one of my favorite production companies because they actually don't care and put out not only stuff like this but Mock Busters as well. Those would be the rip offs of other successful films out there, yes you read that right. Still this is an Asylum production so you really can't expect much these days, except the director is actually good. Well at least he was when he directed one of the best the company had called "666 The Child", and an excellent episode of Hercules The Legendary Journey [also wrote a Xena episode].
The film follows some researchers who are in the artic or something and accidentally release two frozen monsters from their icy cages. You guessed it a giant shark, sorry Mega, and a giant octopus, got that one right. Once that happens both creatures whom I guess were frozen in mist of a battle with one another instantly go opposite directions and start killing all humans on the sea or in the air [even planes are not safe]. So countries come together and try to first capture and then kill the creatures. Of course that does not work so they lure them together to continue their once legendary battle.
This is exactly what you think of when you think B movie with little in way of a budget, really it is that horrible. The CGI for the creatures are just laughable but hey I guess that is all they could afford. But the writing and direction of Jack Perez whom I like and have enjoyed some of his other work must have just done this for the pay check. I would like to think that he was held down by the budget and his vision was dramatically altered, I hope. His film for Asylum called "666 The Child" was excellent for low budget fare and was a great low budget version of "The Omen". But this one is so bad it could be good depending if you like this type of stuff. Also the acting in this is down right awful most of the time with only a few moments of decency.
This film is bad and I mean it is really bad with horrible CGI monster jumping out of the water eating planes and a huge shark taking a chunk off of the Golden Gate Bridge. Still it is good for a laugh which we did a lot of, it is kinda funny. I would recommend this to people who like these types of flicks like me. If not then stay away because this is most likely not for you, but rent it I guess.
Tedious acting featuring repetitive footage of cgi shark, September 23, 2009
Ce Obrien
wasn't expecting much from this but I did expect a crappy cgi fight between a giant shark and octopus instead I was given shaky cameras and reaction shots spliced into the same 3 second footage of the shark swimming forward over and over and over again. The title monsters are absent through most of this film with the majority of their actions happening off screen as for the fight you see 10 seconds of the octopus wrapped around a mildly thrashing shark then they sink into darkness. The acting is bad but I can forgive that in a B movie but the sheer laziness of the production ruins any camp value it might have.
 Five Stars for Comical Relief September 21, 2009

This has got to be the funniest movie of 2009, and the year hasn't even ended. With all the cheap CGI and terrible acting, I couldn't help but laugh [...]off. [...]. They should give it away with each purchase, regardless of the amount one spends.
Anyway, the following is a SPOILER ALERT: I was not prepared for the most outrageous event I've ever seen in a movie. Mega Shark jumps out of the ocean and bites into an airliner full of passengers. It's been a long time since I've had a good belly laugh. I had to rewatch the scene over and over again while tears kept sliding down my face. I even went so far as to watch part of the movie and then go back to the plane scene. It's too much. The SyFy channel out did themselves with this one.
I recommend you BUY or RENT this movie just so you can tell your friends you have the famous "Plane Scene." It should make you the envy of all who know you.
