Shark Attack 3: Megalodon (2002)

Very well executed

A lot of fun.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Spoiler Alert!!! It's really nothing but a bunch of recycled footage of scared people at the beach and the shark attacking on the surface. Like Jesus even I could get better shark footage in my bathtub with a robotic shark! Seriously these shark attacks are absolutely fake. The only 2 good attacks were when the guy jumps into it's mouth and the guy drives right into it's mouth. These two were really the only good moments in the whole movie. The rest was an utter disappointment, the lead girl wasn't even acting it looked like she was on the verge of laughing the whole time and it gets annoying pretty quick. I also like how it ends because it uses the quote of Liam Neeson in Star Wars Ep. 1 "There's always a bigger fish!" I give it a 2 out of 10 because of those two funny shark attacks and the brilliant ending.

I know that "dangerous animals-movies" is a bad genre in general but sometimes everyone involved at least try. Not this time...Not ONE scene in this movie really makes sense, i honestly think this was intended to be a joke. First of all it is basically a porn-movie between the actual porn-scenes, kind of the "foreplay" all the time and all the "actors" look like if they were in that business prior to this movie. Quality-wise it just isn't more skillfully done than that concerning acting and all round atmosphere and setting..But since it is supposed to be something else it just doesn't work, it is your total "turkey"-movie. Already in the first scenes this became rather obvious when the cigar-smoking captain comes in and with the dubbed voice sound like the cartoon figure "Popeye" or something. The museum janitor that sounds like if he is dead drunk (perhaps he was, maybe that made it funnier to participate in this farce...) Then when Ben (Barrowman) is given coffee at the bar in the beginning he is served by one lady in the first angle but in the second it is another lady (you can tell because in the second angle she isn't wearing that white pearl arm brace any longer...) And then when the nude couple are taking a swim (not only that obviously) and the Meg appear to tare the tiger shark into pieces it later lies on the beach without as much as a scratch... Then on to the pot-smoking computer-supervisors or whatever it is...These are just a couple of scenes that no one else seem to have commented on. This movie could be entertaining as comedy indeed but if you think of watching it to be enriched (or scared) in some way, just forget it. If the crew attempted to make horror, too bad for them, this movie is as crappy as they come, i cant even understand who would produce mind-poison like this. Actors who cant find the word "actor" in a dictionary and just want to fool around and use nasty language it seems like. The plot? No, don't even think about it...The scriptwriters must have come up with this in one afternoon at the most. As i said, not one scene is flawless but others have commented enough on most things so i wont do it too. Another strange thing is that in the Shark Attack movies the sharks have also started to sound like an entire lion zoo... Not one character is something else than a complete caricature. Should you give this movie a miss? To quote one character: ABSO-F-CKING-LUTELY!

When a Tom Cruise look-a-like coastal patrolman finds a tooth embedded in a submarine electricity cable, a palaeontologist identifies it as a Megalodon tooth, a giant prehistoric shark thought to have been extinct for eons. Of course, the title animal is very much alive, and to make matters worse, it's just a baby! Mother takes some time to surface, but when she eventually does, nothing on the water is safe from her mile-wide gape.If a movie can be remembered by a solitary, improvised line of dialogue, then this film will defy age and ineptitude for centuries to come. Fortunately, there's more to a movie than a one-liner that will have you choking on your marshmallow, and this one doesn't have the substance to rate amongst its peers.The Meg (as it's affectionately known) is a preposterous sized beast, capable of swallowing a powerboat whole, without so much as a gag reflex. Trick photographic effects are clumsy and amateurish looking, with various bystanders falling from a stricken pleasure cruiser into the open jaws of the mammoth, prehistoric specimen. Some stock crowd footage and a scene in which two randy lovers are devoured was lifted (almost unerringly) and used in the contemporary Shark Zone, but to cite that imitation is to ascribe this farce a tribute it neither earns nor deserves.Characterisations are exaggerated in their intensity, and even some of the more capable cast members are laughable caricatures, particularly Ryan Cutrona as the macho ex-navy seal who reveals the sinister cause behind the colossal resurrection. Despite the lack of redeemable qualities, there's still that inimitable one-liner, and a few other memorable quotes at which to laugh. And since it's featured prominently in this review, don't despair about mistaking that line – it's easily identified.

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.
