Mega Shark VS Giant Octopus VS Tycho Brahe


Recently I have found that it has become an developing inclination amongst the world-weary theatergoers to partake in the ripe pleasures of “The so bad its good” genre of film. Many times laughs are shared, tears shed, and virginal blood spilled at the hands of these movies. I like to count myself among these pseudosadomasochistic enthusiast of abysmal cinema. So it should come as no surprise to find that when I initially heard of “Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus” I found myself drenched in anticipatory leakage. 

SCIENCE!

However, upon actually watching MS Vs. GO I found much to be desired. Even within the confines of the bad movie genre I was utterly disappointed. The primary thrust in every movie should be the intent of the film makers. Be it the desire to make a drama, comedy, romance or what have you. The eclicitory nature is irrelevant when a movie fails because when they do it is roundly enjoyable. The issue with this particular motion picture is that it feels as if they were meaningfully trying to make something so dumb it is funny. It felt forced and duplicitous. In that way it fails. It fails miserably. In other ways it has a shark biting the golden gate bridge in half.

 Imma SHAAAAARK!
