Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time a boy called Rhys Mogg was listening to Cannibal Corpse to help him go to sleep after a long day farting. He looked into his toilet a saw a great big poop. Out of the blue, Blaze Bayley came along and said 'OC vomit or shotgun' and lots of gummy bears came out of the skylight and consumed him.This movie reminded me of this story. It shows the horror of being consumed alive and is an inspiration to anyone who has ever been digested. The special effects are so well done that I started crying. I do not cry easily, the last time I cried was when my mother had me aborted. The acting is so realistic that I though it was a real story and was shocked to find that it is fact not a documentary, or say my friend told me. I sacrificed a baby to the great lord Satan to find if my friend was speaking the truth, and to my dismay I found out that there are indeed actors in this movie. If you ever have a chance to see this movie, I would highly recommend it as it is a modern classic and a masterpiece, up with the greats like 'The Hero of Colour City' and 'Spy Kids 4'. This is a great movie for kids who love such films like 'A Serbian Film' Just don't forget to look out for Blaze Bayley as I heard he is now shoving bran flakes into peoples eyes. A bit violent if you ask me.

I just can't! I just watched Jurassic Shark before this and that WAS a big stinking turd pile. Shark Attack 3, by comparison, is a masterpiece (okay, it isn't, but it sure seems that way!).From start to finish, SA3 is filled with the following: 1. Hammy acting. There is a whole pig farm of ham in this movie! The quality reminded me of those cheesy early 80's VHS movies. Barrowman is by far the best actor in the movie, but even he seems to be finding the whole thing hilarious.2. Stock shark footage. The beast of the movie is entirely stock footage lifted from documentaries. That said, there are some hysterically funny superimposition shots, where the shark is matted in with another scene, usually an "eating" moment. These are priceless! 3. Terrible miniature effects. The helicopter is my favourite, but most vessels end up as poorly filmed models that look very unconvincing.4. The shark has a bad tummy-ache. Yes, in every scene of the shark, it is making a noise like an upset stomach. No wonder considering it eats anything it comes across! Despite all of these things, the movie is so bad that is good! So I can't rate it a 1. Sorry! I'll go as low as a 3, but I really think it's worth a 5, it's that ridiculous and funny.

When a large, prehistoric shark appears off the Mexican coast, a lifeguard and a paleontologist race to stop it from wrecking havoc on the local population looking to use the area for their own personal use.This turned out to be one of the better killer shark films out there. One of the main reasons for that is due to the excessively high quality of cheese during the film, which is found in plentiful amounts during the film. Since there's just no shortage of big action scenes to utilize here, this becomes a major selling point here in the numerous usage of stock footage to depict the shark attacks, ranging from the classic bits of footage that are then superimposed over the new footage to show the creature's extra-huge size or just filler shots to showcase it interacting with its environment, with very few scenes utilized with prosthetics. This makes for a jarring experience at times, but it's also quite fun to watch, especially once these allow for the film to go through some rather enjoyable scenes. This here comes from the attacks utilized almost constantly as the film moves at a very fast pace, as nothing is too silent or too still for very long. There's always an important plot point or an attack by the shark to keep things moving along, starting with the opening attack on the divers, the ambushes on the different couples around the resort, a thrilling battle out at sea where they manage to tag it after a thrilling series of encounters or the group out on patrol stopping it from attacking only to go back out to sea where the fun of watching the oblivious couple going para-sailing get attacked which are highly entertaining as well. Of course, the course change to showcase the mother Meg's first appearance is pure cheese all the way, and the most fondly- remembered part of the movie in a particular pick-up line but is so much fun regardless of the cheese here that there's even more on offer here regardless of the shark. It's also far more suspenseful at times than it really should be, from the multitude of beach stalking to the race to get it cleared before another attack occurs and the scene of them out hunting it down when in the middle of it all ones goes retrieving her shotgun in the bow of the boat, then the Meg comes crashing through the side of the boat. When mixed with the graphic, gory carnage where not only do we see the usual blood trails that occur in many of the monster shark films, but also get to see limbs being bitten off on many of the victims, there's plenty to like here. While there's a few flaws here, mainly in the cheesy nature as how this one gets getting slightly tired of the real shots of great whites being passed off as the Megalodon. The continued use of stock footage, and the same pieces of stock footage no less of the shark used three seconds earlier being shown in the opposite direction to make the shark look like it was turning around, was a big letdown as there really was only about four different scenes of the great white used. As well, it's getting very tired in these movies of the businessmen refusing to close the beaches, even after several shark attacks. These scenes have become a trademark of these movies, and all they do is come off clichéd which happens here as they're pretty flawed as a concept. Overall, this one was pretty enjoyable and entertaining.Rated R Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Nudity, and a sex scene.

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...
