Summary: Bad
Review: I love Shark movies...I was too young for Jaws, but I always rent new shark movies. I saw 1 and 2. 3 interested me because this is the second shark movie about a megalodon shark. Well, trust me. Get the other one. This has bad acting and it's vaguely soft-porny. These people are begging to be eaten! It's basically about- once the damn story develops- a rift in the ocean and megalodons once thought to be extinct are protecting their eggs. The story centers around a baby and miscommunications, villains, and misconceptions. There's not much of a story. It's kind of; oh this thing underwater opened and here they are back again.
I did read there is a NEW Megalodon movie coming out July 2004, so wait for that.

Summary: HAHAHAHAHAHAH.....no
Review: I will put this bluntly: have seen better acting in porno movies, really I have. This movie is so horribly amazing that is makes watching the decay of the leftover popcorn on my living room floor look intersting. I honestly wonder what the director was on when this movie was created, because whatever it was...he should have refrained from offering it to the cast and the shark.

Summary: For All You Campy Movie Lovers
Review: Imagine "Jaws." Now take away 99/100 of the budget, all the actors, substitute the mechanized shark with footage, the script and dialogue are by a guy whose only other credit is a published letter to "Dear Abby" and voilĂ ! You have "Shark Attack 3-Megalodon"

A giant shark that makes the Big White look like a minnow threatens a Mexican resort. The evil resort owner does not want to hurt business. Brave security policeman, nubile idealistic girl and old salt want to warn the tourists and get the shark. Does this sound familiar? A few more keywords: shark attacks boat, shark blows up, someone supposed to have been eaten by the shark shows up alive and well. All rejoice.

I couldn't decide whether to give this one star because it is so bad or five stars because it is so perfectly bad. I compromised with two. I won't fault the actors because with dialogue this awful, Sir John Gielgud couldn't have made it sound good. Director David Worth can't be all bad, he directed the highly successful "Naked Gun." Maybe the budget and a probable 5-day shooting schedule did him in. So who's to blame? Let's not blame anyone and instead, cherish it for its purity of bad. It's kinda fun to recite the actors' lines before they say them,

Summary: Be flabbergasted by the sheer stupidity!
Review: It was one of those Sunday afternoons spent in bed channel-surfing. I came across a movie where some folks were on the ocean in a boat. I took the bait and watched. Within ten minutes, I was queerly entranced. Was I finally watching the worst film ever made? After seeing Phantasm in the early 80s, I thought they'd never come up with a combination of worse dialogue, actors, or plot. Frankly, the effects in Phantasm are better!
The actors are dreadful, but not even Brando himself could have pulled off some of the stupid "one-liners" in this film, my favorite of them being when the lead "dude" was out on the ocean with the resident wise-cracking-"scientist"-soon-to-be-evening's-conquest/whore, and he spots the Megalodon, shouts at it and says, "You oversized fish!" Wow. I'd certainly feel threatened, especially if I were 70 feet long and weighed 10,000 pounds. I have to say, though, that I loved the part when the shark bursts through the surface of the water and swallows the boat! The effects are so bad, they're virtually stunning. I couldn't tear myself away from it. All of the deserving jerks in this film bite the big one -- except the ones responsible for its production, and they deserve it the most of all! By far, though, the most entertaining aspect of this film was the English dubbing over English! I'm sure this was done to one character in particular so that we'd all be fooled into thinking he wasn't really 60 and really leathery-looking, but that he was really a 22 year old surfer dude from Zuma Beach! Wow, they had me going! You gotta see it -- it was so bad, I couldn't tear myself away! Now, that's entertainment!

Summary: One of the funniest movies I've ever seen
Review: My daughter and I happened to catch this movie on the Sci-fi channel. Although we didn't intend to watch it, we couldn't stop laughing long enough to turn channels. The special effects alone are funny enough (imagine the villian snatching the last life perserver from his girlfriend and jumping out of a boat only to be swallowed whole by a fake shark), but when you throw in the bad acting, dialog filled with cliches and bad jokes ("Megala-who?), and one of the worst storylines ever, you've got the makings of a movie that would make the creators of MST 3K jealous. Rent or buy this movie and watch it with some friends. You will not be disappointed. It will be one of the funniest movie-watching experiences you've ever had.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: More like a Mega Letdown!
Review: Not as good as Shark attack I and 2 were but still okay. In mexico two megladon have start acting people. Chese parts I think this was supposed to be a rip of off Jaws 3. Like in Jaws three there is a bady and adult shark. But the adult megladon is freaking huge.

The baby is about 15 feet long. The adult mother is huge 80 feet long. That about 2.5 times as long as the adult Shark in Jaws three. Good film like the other to shark attacks. Ending is not a dramtic as it was in the second one.

I you like this film I recomend Shark attack 1 and 2. The best movie I could recomend Is Deep Blue Sea. There is Shark hunter also but it has a crappy ending.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: NON-STOP HILARITY!
Review: OK, I have vague recollections of seeing the awful SHARK ATTACK 1 on cable a couple of years back and have never even seen SHARK ATTACK 2, but nothing could prepare me for the sheer unadulterated awfulness of SHARK ATTACK 3 - MEGALODON!!! This is primo bad movie material here, folks, harkening back to the grand ole' exploitation shark flicks of the 70's and 80's. Move over GREAT WHITE, move over TINTORERA, move over MAKO JAWS OF DEATH! There's a new kid on the block!

MEGOLODON is not the usual dull-as-dirt DTV crap that fills up Blockbuster's shelves every month. This one is unbelievably awful, over-the-top, and absolutely absurd from start to finish. A giant prehistoric shark is terrorizing a Mexican resort and chomping down on every living human it can get its jaws around. You know you're in for a good time when the smartest character in the whole film is a dog that refuses to go into the ocean and lets the shark eat its master instead! Hilarious dialog, awful acting (with bad dubbing), stock footage that stands out like a sore-thumb, graphic gory violence, and even some nudity to keep things a bit sleazy - it's all here and done with so much gusto that you can't help but have a good time even though you know all along how truly terrible it is. I'm telling you, you have not lived until you've witnessed the shots of a giant shark head spouting from the water and swallowing boats whole. And when's the last time you heard a lead character tell his new girlfriend something like "You know, I'm really wired...what do you say I take you home and eat your ******." OMG!!! Unbelievable madness!!! Joy joy joy!

If you wanna see one of the all-time worst and re-live that old feeling of watching some bad euro-import from the late 70's, this one delivers the dumbness in big doses. It may have been made in 2002, but it looks and feels like a terrible drive-in flick from two decades ago. Good movie fans, proceed with caution. Every one else, check this thing out! Manohman!

Summary: eh...
Review: Okay, I have never heard of any of these people in this movie, and I think that's a good thing. Beacause they can't act!! You see the sharks and they're like Oh my god. Look, its a shark. Like they don't really care. I think the idea of the megs being down deep and coming up is right out of the book MEG. The effects were pretty good, to take away from the crummy acting, but it was a bit cheesy when the giant shark came up. But if you're filming a movie with a 60-foot shark near people, it's hard not to be. The two stars are for the shark, in case you're wondering.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't even bother with this awful dud!
Review: One star is being WAY too kind to this dud!

I had read "MEG", a great paperback that I highly recommend which was about prehistoric Megaladon sharks being pulled to the surface by accident and then wreacking havoc on modern man and thought this movie was based on this novel.

To say I was sadly disappointed would be an understatement. All I have to say is that this film was made with some "C" grade actors and filmed in Bulgaria pretending to be Mexico with some really bad dubbing.

This is one fish that should have been left in the deep...
