Summary: cheesy acting but decent for shark lovers
Review: shark attack 3, has a lot of stale dialogue and cheesy acting but overall a decent movie for the shark lovers at heart imagine if you will a 80 foot long great white shark with a bad attitude! well thats what the film delivers, off the coast of mexico a beach resort is plagued by a number of unexplained shark attacks while out on a liesure dive our main guy ben finds a tooth buried in an underwater cable come to find out it belongs to a species of shark thought extinct for almost 30 million years, (carcharadon megladon) the great white shark's long lost relative, good action sequences, lots of gore and some good shark footage make up for some very bad acting and dialogue but as i said before if your a shark lover its worth a look but thats it, i wouldnt recommend buying this just go to your local video store and rent it for it holds very little replay value

Summary: Horrible, horrible slop
Review: The cinematic "shark" genre took a massive hit with the third "Shark Attack" installment that is, to be blunt, horrible, horrible slop. This watered down "Jaws" ripoff is merely an attempt to lure horror fans into a genre that was resuscitated by "Deep Blue Sea", but has had nothing mentionable since. The first "Shark Attack" was not bad, and part II was adequate for a sequel, but "Shark Attack 3: Megalodon" does not even follow up the previous pair. If any of you zombies like to read, this author suggests "Meg" by Steve Alten. (which has a terrific follow-up and a third installment in the works)The Megalodon shark was unheard of in literature or motion pictures before Alten's publication, and Disney dropped the ball by purchasing the movie rights and never making it. Bad move, Disney, because "Meg" would have been very fresh if it was made before the atrocious "S.A. III" or "Shark Hunter", which wasn't as bad. Once again, don't waste your time with "S.A. III", for it is forgettable tripe.

Summary: 3 words explaining why this movie is the funniest film ever
Review: the shark roars

Summary: Avoid The Megalodon!
Review: This film started with a good promise, The Megalodon, the ancestor of the Great White Shark, a killer so incredibly scary, it makes all other sharks look like pet gold fish. The Great White's fearsome reputation and liking of steak tartare is dwarfed in comparison to its no nonsense ancient relative. Let us say that if ever the Megalodon comes back (and only in theory it is a distant possibilty!!) then the word 'surfing' will strictly refer to cyberspace.
So as far as 'fish eating people' movies are concerned,this had a fresh and original twist, so I really wanted to see where will the director go with this idea..and the problem is,he did not go anywhere..
This is yet another cheap imitation of the best movie of its genre 'Jaws', lame acting, directing, dialogue and script, the best performance given by the fish!
If the Megalodon ever misses some action and makes a comeback then the word avoid the waters will not be taken lightly, however the Megalodon did comeback in this movie, and still the word avoid is totally relevant.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazingly Funny!
Review: This is by far one of the funniest films I've ever seen. I laughed my FACE off! There are sooo many scenes in this movie that just hit you by surprise and send you to the floor laughing... BUY THIS MOVIE you won't regret it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Silly w/bad acting, but great for laughs!
Review: This is one of those films best watched with friends. The plot is predictable, the acting is about a C+, and the graphics look like they were either taken from National Geographics or from a high school computer graphics class. There is even a character who has perfectly placed framed photos of president George W. and v.p. Dick Cheney in his room. Seeing as how this is the 3rd film of Shark Attack, one might think that it would be the best. But it seems as if the acting and quality of the special effects is actually poorer than the previous movies. Jenna McShane (I think that's her name)is in this movie and the 1st, but the only difference is that her hair is shorter; she still comes off as someone you might find in a late night Skinamax film. I wouldn't recommend paying more than $10 on this film, but if you get it, it will definately lighten your mood!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Really, really BIG sharks
Review: This is the third movie in the thematic Shark Attack series, unrelated movies involving sharks in some way.

The prehistoric ancestors of great white sharks have been lured from the deep trenches where they have survived for millennia. At a Mexican resort, a water patrolman finds a shark tooth on a dive. He tries to figure what type of shark it is from but cannot find a similar tooth on the Web. He then posts a query with a phot of the tooth.

Well, the tooth belongs to a megalodon, the ancestor of the great white, which can reach lengths of 70 feet or more. A paleontologist sees the post and travels to Mexico to prove some of her theories, but she keeps the nature of the shark a secret from the locals.

But soon there are some attacks and it becomes known that the shark is there. It is a 15-foot baby. It seems to be attracted by an underwater fiber-optic cable that has a major junction just off the coast.

Our heroes set of to catch or kill the shark. It looks like they are successful when suddenly an adult shows up in a dramatic scene.

Now the hunt really begins. We have paleontologists, divers, hotel owners and communications conglomerates all coming together for the final quarter of the film.

No one built a 70-foot robot shark for this movie. Instead, creative use of camera angles gives a sense of massiveness to the shark footage. Very well done with a relatively small budget, but without the small-budget feel.

This movie seems to be a retelling of the book Extinct by Charles Wilson, but I could find no mention of it.

If you like shark movies, then you will probably like this one.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Quite possibly the funniest movie ever!
Review: This movie is so horribly bad, (if you've ever seen 'Dead Alive' you'll know what I'm talking about) that it has you almost on the floor laughing at some of the lines and the footage. The shark interacting with the camera is some of the worst I've ever seen (and I've seen movies made by high school students). I rented this movie with a friend because I knew it would be incredibly cheezy right from the beginning. However, it exceeded my expectations in being the funniest without trying to be that I've ever seen! You will make fun of some of the typical horror-movie lines but then find out the actors ACTUALLY say them! If you are in to really dumb movies (read: Austin Powers anything) then definately check this movie out with some friends (drunk if possible).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for all the wrong reasons...........
Review: This movie should be shown in art class to teach students what NOT to do when making a film. Yet, it is hysterical to watch for so many reasons.

We had a great time making fun of this movie. The shark first bellows like a cow and then it evolves into a lions roar. We were expecting it to bark later but no such luck. The characters are all awful and the acting is even worse. The lead character looked more orgasmic while trying to drive the submersible than when he was during his sex scene. There is just so much to make fun of that we would make outrageous predictions and half of them came to fruition. I am considering buying this to entertain future guests.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: shark attack
Review: This movie was a pretty good one. I liked the part with the megalodon and the big explotion how they killed it. The one with the baby shark was a good one too but it was a little short. I also liked how the shark killed everyone. The next day they killed it but suddenly the mother shark showed up and swallowed easi. then at night they were talking how to kill the megalodon and they were going to kill the shark with the mark 44 torpedo.
