Even a bad movie aficionado will struggle to find anything to cheer about in this meaningless mess of stilted acting, appalling editing and dodgy visual effects. If this film were a dog I would have it put down. Without anaesthetic. I would drive up onto the pavement just to have a chance of hitting it. Straight-to-VHS, please, in an age monopolised by DVD and Blu-Ray.

You know whats going to happen as soon as it starts. Good for a laugh but so hard to watch. Besides the fact it can be laughed at, this movie is awful in pretty much every way a movie can be.

The biggest flaw here is the acting. The actors can't sell the somewhat shoddy story, instead magnifying the problem. Also, the female lead looks like a man in a bad wig. Still semi-enjoyable, when the actors aren't sabotaging the weak plot and if you fail to notice recycles sets and shots. Best if viewed with friends or alcohol... or both.

This film is just not worth your time. Even for fans of B-movies, it will fail to entertain. There is actually only a few minutes focusing on the shark and octopus mentioned in the title; the rest if spent on humans that you won't care about whatsoever. The battle that does take place is too short and boring to save the film, the CGI is incredibly poor and the acting is laughable. The writing and dialogue comes through terribly, while the editing makes what little action there is hard to follow.

I've never been one to watch bad movies for kicks. But a few friends decided to get together and watch this while drinking 40s. It's the only movie I've seen more than 20 minutes of that I can't say has a single redeeming quality. Not even the shark eating the plane.

Come on, you know exactly what you're in for with this movie from the title alone. This is a bad movie that delivers on all cylinders. It's an absolute laugh-riot that's a perfect "beer and buddies" flick. You can't take it remotely seriously for a second and really, that's the point. With all that praise out of the way, this movie has terrible sets, acting, and plot. Some of the dialog is humourous, like only knowingly bad movies can be, but for the most part it's equally horrible.

This is a great movie to see with others, intent to make fun of it while it happens. It's another Asylum release, so you know it's only "so terrible it's fun" territory. Debbie "Deborah" Gibson plays the poor man's Kaitlin Olson while Lorenzo Lamas drunkenly stumbles his way through his lines. The effects are laughably awful and it recycles shots so much you can't help but laugh. I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel, "Immense Cod vs. Massive Haddock."

Now, see, here's the difference between utter shit like Great White or Shark Attack 3 and Mega Shark: this one actually tries to be cheesy, the others just ARE. This one is constantly winking at the audience to remind them of that... and the problem is that it's not funny. It depends entirely on CGI, but it cannot afford CGI and most of it just ends up incomprehensible. The others try to be outrageous; this one knows it's not, but asks us to pretend that it is. But no.

Dreadful, cut-rate syfy effort (even by their questionable standards) almost defies criticism because it would be like shooting fish/shark in a barrel – I guess I’ll never forget the batshit sight of a shark being hurled at a jetliner at high altitude, but when you’re at the point of debating whether a movie is just bad or “intentionally bad”, the race is well and truly lost. Still chuckling at Gibson and Chao’s sultry passion, plus the full bore power ballad love theme for the end credits!

80's pop tart Debbie Gibson plays a genius marine biologist who somehow revives a megalodon and a giant octopus who had been frozen in ice in mid-combat for thousands of years....OK, then. The dialog is terrible (and big chunks of it cribbed straight from wikipedia), the acting is wooden, the CGI is incredibly lame and the same shots get recycled over and over. Plus the climactic battle is a huge wet fart of a letdown. Fun to watch with buddies so you can laugh at how awful it is.

It saddens me that they didn't make this sillier. It's tongue-in-cheek and all, but seeing as how it isn't scary, visually appealing, well-written/acted, or even exciting, the film being deliberately Not Good doesn't exactly work in its favor. Even though you'd expect them to embrace the camp a bit more, it IS still pretty dumb and ridiculous; I'm glad I watched it!

I was expecting something more in the 'so bad it's good' category. I mean, there are some good laughs in it (especially the plane scene and the science montages) but I found myself getting quite irritable at points, the lighting and editing both did my head in, and if it wasn't for all the mocking going on from those I was watching this with I have little doubt that I would have been quite bored long before the end.

Plethora of continuity errors. Sunset. Interracial love interest that is as unexpected as it is pointless. Sunset. A sequel was created despite the heavily implied death of Megashark. Sunset. Massive contempt for the fundamentals of science. Sunset. Sunset. Sunset. Sunset.

It gets 4 points for the entire plane scene alone which was hilarious to me. The acting is so atrocious, I don't think I've seen worse. It can't even fit into the so bad it's good category because you just get sick of it after about 40 minutes. I would love to see a Rifftrax of this, but that would be the only way I would ever even consider watching this movie again.

The Asylum can't make bad films or, I can't dislike Asylum films. Full of plot holes, characters doing inexplicable things because the script hasn't been proof read properly. Delightful. And a giant fucking shark and octopus with fairly low quality CGI.
