Shark Attack 3: Megalodon (2002)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Two researchers discover a colossal shark's tooth off the Mexican coast and soon their worst fears surface eating anything that crosses its path.Unconvincing special effects and Jenny McShane, I must point out that it has the greatest poor line in shark movie history, actor John Barrowman as Ben Carpenter replies to Cataline Stone as she sighs, "I'm exhausted." with his line of..."Yeah, me too. But you know I'm really wired. What do you say I... take you home and eat your pussy." Seriously it happens, I had to rewind it to check I'd heard it right! Awful from start to finish, not even cult status. Nevertheless, it has one bonus- it makes Shark Hunter (2001) look like The Godfather.

Watched this and Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus (2009) the same evening. The Mega Shark movie was so bad that we laughed throughout it. It succeeds in crossing the "so bad it is good" line.Shark Attack 3 doesn't. It is poorly done, unoriginal and boring. The only time we laughed was the main character's incredible pick-up line - you can see it in the Trivia section.The movie takes place in Mexico but was actually shot in Bulgaria. The director fakes Mexico by putting a Mexican flag wherever it could fit the frame. You can play a drinking game - take a shot every time you see a Mexican flag! That's the only conceivable reason to watch this movie. If you want something funny and shark-related, see Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus.

I really wanted to comment and review this movie but everything you want to know about Shark Attack 3 has been said. However I want to make this point perfectly clear; "Optic Fiber Cable" carries no electrical power what-so-ever. It transmits light and uses the pulsation to communicate. If the underwater cable in the movie was "leaking" it would be light not electricity coming from it.Also I noticed no one has commented on Ben Carpenter's odd line in the movie. Frankly I don't understand how he went from asking Miss Stone if he could dine on her cat to actually having sex with her. I understand they eat some odd meat dishes in Mexico, I just never knew cat was on the menu.

So, the first question on your mind if you immediately checked out this movie on IMDb is this movie really bad enough to warrant a 2.5/10. And the answer is yes.The only reason I watched this movie was that the scene I saw in a youtube clip looks so outrageous and stupid that I wanted to see it in context of the movie as a whole, and yea is was still dumb and whatnot. The movie itself in general was just bad. The plot was pretty meh. The voice synch was horrible. It was always either not quite in synch or the wrong tone or both. In fact, just about everything about the movie always felt off.That is not to say there wasn't a shred of enjoyment. Watching with a few friends, there was plenty of stuff to make fun of and talk about during the movie, and perhaps the most ridiculous pick-up line ever of "Wanna go back to my place and I will ...?" (yea you can't make stuff like that up...).So should you watch Shark Attack 3: Megalodon? Only if you have some beer a few friends to help past the time, since the movie will not do that on its own...
