Once it was determined that it was in fact an actual film, the\u00a0buzz\u00a0only intensified. After all,\u00a0Mega Shark is seen leaping out of the ocean to\u00a0take a bite out of\u00a0a passenger jet in\u00a0mid-flight! The only question on everyone&#8217;s mind was &#8220;Can this movie possibly be as good as the trailer\u00a0makes it seem?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Well, in order to answer that, let&#8217;s calmly and objectively weigh the pluses and minuses of MSVGO (CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD):<\/p>\n<p>1. The film does indeed star a Mega Shark and a Giant Octopus, two ridiculously oversized prehistoric predators\u00a0whom the pseudonymous writer\/director would have us believe were flash frozen in mid-combat (probably over\u00a0some sports rivalry) millions of years ago.\u00a0 +PLUS FOR THE SHOUT-OUT TO <a title=\"Dinosaurus\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D18312&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">DINOSAURUS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>2. Gibson plays a brillant, system-bucking marine researcher (a concept\u00a0falling on the Hollywood Female Scientist Believability Scale somewhere between <a title=\"Raquel Welch\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Raquel+Welch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Raquel Welch<\/a> in\u00a0<a title=\"Fantastic Voyage\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D97766&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Fantastic Voyage<\/a> and <a title=\"Denise Richards\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/findresults_actor.asp?search=Denise+Richards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Denise Richards<\/a> in <a title=\"The World Is Not Enough\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D16983&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The World Is Not Enough<\/a>) who, along with her Artie Lange-like sidekick, is following whales along\u00a0the Alaska coast in a mini-sub she &#8220;borrowed&#8221; from the institute that employs her. -MINUS FOR GIBSON PILOTING ANYTHING.<\/p>\n<p>3. As luck and plot advancement would have it, a nearby secret military experiment drops a sonar device into the water that sends the frenzied whales\u00a0crashing into a glacier wall,\u00a0freeing and somehow thawing out the title terrors. Soon (really rather unbelievably soon, considering the distances involved), GO wrecks a Japanese oil drilling platform\u00a0and MS is\u00a0chomping down on whales&#8211;and, just like the trailer teased, an honest-to-gosh\u00a0Boeing 747!&#8211;in the Pacific near California.\u00a0\u00a0+++PLUS FOR MEGA SHARK&#8217;S\u00a0IN-FLIGHT MEAL.<\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0Gibson, her old college professor,\u00a0and\u00a0a overly-philosophical Japanese scientist\u00a0arrived to study\u00a0GO&#8217;s chowdown\u00a0are taken into custody\u00a0and held in a military\u00a0\u00a0&#8220;installation&#8221; (which the same sunglasses-and-camo-clad, gun-toting actor stands in front of in every shot), where wisecracking, ponytailed government official Lorenzo Lamas\u00a0browbeats them into helping\u00a0come up with a way to stop the creatures. &#8211;MINUS FOR LAMAS&#8217; DEMEANOR AND FOR THE SHOTS OF THE DIRECTOR&#8217;S PAL AS THE GUARD.<\/p>\n<p>5. When nothing else\u00a0inspires them, an out-of-left-field makeout session in a supply closet&#8211;and the discussion of love and attraction that follows&#8211;between Gibson and the Japanese\u00a0scientist helps them think of using pheremone sprays to draw each critter\u00a0to where it can be contained\u00a0(as the old prof says to Lamas, &#8220;Those guys have been frozen in ice for millions of years. Wouldn&#8217;t you be a little horny?&#8221;). \u00a0&#8211;MINUS FOR THE PSUEDOSCIENCE AND FOR GIBSON KEEPING TOO MANY CLOTHES ON.<\/p>\n<p>6. When Operation: Love Connection fails&#8211;badly, with a still-horny MS taking out his frustration by jumping out of San Francisco Bay and biting a chunk out of the Golden Gate Bridge!&#8211;Gibson suggests Plan B, a &#8220;Thrilla in Manilla&#8221; where they&#8217;ll lure them back up north and &#8220;get them to kill each other.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0+++PLUS FOR MEGA SHARK&#8217;S MOUTHFUL\u00a0 OF\u00a0&#8220;BRIDGEWORK.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>7. During an undersea chase, with\u00a0the main cast in a submarine\u00a0trying to reach an undersea ravine before MS swallows them, the sub&#8217;s panicky\u00a0pilot goes all <a title=\"Crimson Tide\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D11511&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Crimson Tide<\/a> and pulls out a gun for a\u00a0ridiculously artifcial 90 seconds of suspense. -MINUS FOR THE SHAMEFULLY OBVIOUS BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR OSCAR BID.<\/p>\n<p>8. Much like\u00a0previous creature double features\u00a0King Kong vs. Godzilla, Alien vs. Predator and&#8230;uh, Kramer vs. Kramer, MS and GO are hardly together onscreen\u00a0until the climatic showdown, when they&#8217;re seen bloodied and sinking down into the depths (not unlike Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic). Meanwhile, Gibson, her new boyfriend, and her mentor survive to run off and investigate a new aquatic mystery in the North Sea (Mega Herring?), and Lamas survives to wonder why he ever took this role. \u00a0&#8212;-MINUS FOR THE AMBIGUOUS ENDING, THE THREAT OF A SEQUEL, AND FOR NOT HAVING GIBSON SING THE SONG OVER THE CLOSING CREDITS.<\/p>\n<p>So, does MSVGO live up to its trailer? No, of course not! I mean, come on, just look at that\u00a0name again. How could any motion picture\u00a0crafted by man or woman possibly live up to such a title (and mind you, the film&#8217;s studio&#8217;s recent slate\u00a0 included\u00a0Snakes on a Train, The Day the Earth Stopped and Transmorphers: Fall of Man)?\u00a0\u00a0Even so, this high-concept howlfest is worth considering\u00a0for fans of &#8220;so bad it&#8217;s good&#8221;\u00a0cinema. Might I suggest sushi instead of popcorn?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Susan Boyle&#8217;s TV debut\u00a0and the piano-playing cat, the biggest Internet video sensation this spring had to be the trailer for a\u00a0\u00a0sci-fi\/action movie named Mega Shark versus Giant Octopus.\u00a0 Looking like the &#8216;roided-up love child of Jaws and It Came&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":1858,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1351,1508],"coauthors":[1720],"class_list":["post-1787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-staff-notes","tag-horror-movie-reviews","tag-science-fiction-movies"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mega Shark Vs.
