Worst movie ever made? #98

Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus sounds like some absurd sci-fi film from the 50s, perhaps in the same vain as Plan 9 from outer space or The Blob. But no this film was made in 2009. Perhaps it should have been made in the 50s, at least then someone would have been stupid enough to see it. The 50s had good films but they had terrible ones like every other decade.

I think the actors want to stay anonymous (i sure would) so i wont name names when it comes to wooden acting (*cough*everyone*cough*). I did enjoy the parts where the actors are meant to show emotion because it's laughable, for all i know they are good actors, but the script is what really destroyed them.

A mega shark and a giant octopus are battling it out for some reason (somebody inked where the shouldn't have...) but they get frozen during their epic battle and wake up 18 million years in the future (as you do.) They keep fighting. Its up to Emma Mcneil to stop the warring beasts who may tear apart the entire world if they keep fighting.

I'd like to add some trivia here: the trailer said 10 million  years ago but the guy in the movie said 18 million years ago. somebody's calender must be wrong.
It's little mistakes and WTF fails like this that make the movie enjoyable. It is frightfully stupid and made me lose faith and monster films for a while, but in retrospect it could have been worse. it could have become completely illogical and had the shark jump out of the ocean and take down a plane... oh wait, nope, never mind.

i wouldn't put in the 'so bad its good' category, but if you want to laugh at a sci-fi film (that also claims to be a horror) that isn't from the 50s (i really have to stop lambasting 50s sci fi, i actually liked some of their stuff...) then watch this. Maybe you could make a day of it  and see the sequel: Mega Shark Vs Crocosaurus. Yeah, thats the title.
