Mega Shark Vs Mecha Shark

Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark.
 
 
How does the Mega Shark know that torpedoes are being fired at it? Enough to use it's tale to flick those torpedoes at other ships? Then it beats up an aircraft carrier? Movies from the Asylum don't get goofier than this. The script sucks, the acting sucks, the effects suck but damn it Mega Shark, I just can't quit you. I just had to see how bad this would get.

Has there suddenly been a revision in the haircut rules onboard Navy vessels? Every sailor and their Captains have long hair. The uniforms looks like they have been bought at retail but didn't come with any hats to protect the soldiers from the harsh Australian sun. NONE of them have hats on. It always makes me sad to watch films that miss these little touches.

 
And just when I think that things can't get anymore batshit crazy, Mecha Shark goes amphibious and starts destroying downtown Sydney Australia. It was a nice upgrade to the mayhem. Watching a giant mechanical shark tank cruising through the streets was hilarious.


However I knew it was over when the Navy Admiral pulls his sidearm and shoots at Mega Shark while losing his mind. That's just bad acting. Plus the ending was rushed and made even more on the cheap than what you usually get from the Asylum. It would be great if they put SOMETHING into their Mega Shark franchise. Maybe come out with a line of toys.

 
I just can't keep up with all the crazy. Everything that everyone needs to complete their mission just happens to show up when they most need it too. Again, very lazy writing. That is too bad because they had something here that could have been a lot more fun than it turned out to be.

Looks like they wanted to write a movie around that one submarine set the Asylum uses in every one of their films.
