**caution:Spoilers Ahead!!**
I don't know why, but I have found myself more and more drawn to SyFy channel movies. Dinocroc. Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus. Snakehead Terror. and countless others. Now, they give me an epic of titanic proportions, produced by Roger Corman, no less: Sharktopus. Just by the name given, you know that your in for a movie loaded with nacho cheese. I mean think about it, a Shark/Octopus hybrid escapes from the facility in which it was contained. Shark. Octopus. Combined? LUDICROUS!
So, after missing the T.V. spot, I decided to purchase it.
After it arrived in the mail I popped it into my DVD player and proceded to view a spectacle worthy of the Gods.
And I must say, I was not dissapointed. I asked for bad acting, bad graphics, and little to no storyline. I recieved exactly what I asked for. Following the trend of most SyFy channel movies, the graphics for this movie suck compared to your big budget hollywood pictures, however they are astoundingly better than most other movies from the same channel. Same with the acting: Absolutely horrible for todays standards, but better than the average movie from that channel. Now let me get to the plot... There is very little that even resembles a plot in this film. 90% of the movie is overly dramaticized death scenes that involve scantilly clad women and bungee jumpers acting like fishing lures. They are so horrendously over dramaticized that I dare call it black comedy. I laughed. A lot.
Another 5% of the movie is complaining about Mexican roads. The remaining 5% is the main characters lying through their teeth about wanting to kill the monster, when in reality all they want to do is lose the remainder of their clothing. Seriously, both the leading characters slowly loose their clothing throughout the film.
monster wise, this creature was pretty good. The designers knew what they were doing, but I can't help but wonder what they were thinking when they inserted an octopus beak for a belly button.
All in all, this movie entertained me far more than any other film that I have ever watched.
4/5

Really? Why are you reading a review about a movie called "Sharktopus?"
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2014
I mean, Really. You can see the title, and the cover art. It's clearly not "A Clockwork Orange," or "The Crow." It's clear as day. But if you must know, and if my demeaning talk hasn't driven you away by now, I'll give you a quick synopsis of this SyFy classic. It starts off like any old beach/shark movie. Bikinis, girls, alcohol; the usual. We then are given a fun shark attack. Yay. Jaws is seen, people scream, and Jaws closes in on his target. Until suddenly- (Cue super hero music) -A tentacle shoots from the water and pulls down the shark, saving the day. Hurrah. Then we hear the Sharktopi's origins. Your classic military-creates-a-monster-to-use-in-war-things. We get an authority figure, who wants to make sure the money the US spent on S11 (The Sharktopus, wonder what happened to the other ten..) so he wants to see it in action. So he gets the head of the project (Who gets his daughter) to make S11 follow a small boat, by use of shock collar. Well, of course the propellers of said boat slice the collar halfway, followed by S11 removing it all the way. Then we have the chasing of the monster, hiring of the mercenary who has a past with the creators of S11, and it kills and eats people, showdown at the end. Good stuff. We even get an awesome cameo by the master of great B movies, Roger Corman! I loved this movie. If you adore Syfy, get it, get in the right mindset, and give it a try. If you like this one, you'll enjoy stuff like Ghost Shark (Think Nightmare on Elm street meets Jaws), Sharknado (The pop icon) and RoboCroc (Robot virus thing meets Crocodile hunter.) Hope this review helps. Happy Hunting!
