I messed up again and watched the 3rd movie in a series first. It probably doesn't matter except that I have nothing to compare it to. This is by far the best bad shark movie I have seen so far. The story was good and it was actually funny. The only thing I didn't like was that people immediately recognized it as a whalewolf. If I didn't know the name of the movie I would never have been able to guess at what it was. It has a shark fin, lol. I might have called it sharkdog. Watch it.

An unbelievably bad monster sequel from the SyFy Channel, when I saw this one I thought it was a joke. Casper Van Dien appears in his worst film ever - which is saying something given the tripe he's shot over the years ever since his STARSHIP TROOPERS heyday - and the whole thing has a jokey, amateur, independent feel. One plot strand has a horribly overacting mad scientist creating a 'whalewolf', whatever that is, while other has Sharktopus rampaging at sea and on land. The CGI effects are pure cartoons here and a brief attack on a shopping mall the only moment of promise.

No seriously? What do you expect from a movie with a title like that? Now I have not seen the previous entry into the Sharktopus ... universe I guess you can call it (there are apparantly another two of them prior to this one),so I can't say how this does compared to them.

What I can say, is that the CGI is as bad as one can imagine. Very obvious. So obvious though that the movie is winking almost all the way through it. Like when one character very late in the movie says upon seeing one of the creature eating another person, something along the lines of "that doesn't even look real". Yes the movie is aware of its flaws, the characters are too. Playing catch with a Whalewolf (great name btw)? I mean come on ... also the slapstick of the creature slapping Casper van Dien around? Or showing him on a map where he is, after he asks and wonders exactly that? That doesn't mean that all jokes work. Far from it. Some are just plain bad ... and almost hurt physically. But again, what to expect? Exactly! (although nudity would be something I reckon many did expect ... well you won't get that)
