Review: DINOSHARK

[Foywonder]

I wish I could tell you I thought Dinoshark was a glorious piece of cinematic cheese or even a great addition to the world of nature gone amok movies, but the honest truth is that having watched Shark Attack, Shark Attack 2, Shark Attack 3: Megalodon, Shark Attack in the Mediterranean, Spring Break Shark Attack, Malibu Shark Attack, Shark Hunter, Shark Zone, Shark Swarm, Sharks in Venice, Raging Sharks, Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy, Megalodon, Red Water, Blue Demon, and 12 Days of Terror, as well as other recent Roger Corman-produced creature features as Dinocroc (from the same director) and Supergator, I found Dinoshark to be more of the same - better than some, worse than others.

DINOSHARK REVIEW

[The Rev. D.D.]

I'm pretty much with you on your opinion on this movie, although I think I ended up liking it more than you did just a bit. I kind of just cruise-controlled through the first parts, woke up when it ate someone, and then felt more and more joy in my heart during the last half hour or so, despite the CGI getting worse.

I like that they built a rubber head to chomp on people in a few scenes. That was nice.

I think this movie is a record as far as kicker endings go. I know we all assume, going in, that movies like this will have one. Sometimes you get a movie that telegraphs that it will have one, without any room for doubt. I haven't seen one before this, though, that blatantly telegraphs it in the first 10 seconds.

In fact, since it's a Corman, you can pretty much exactly guess how that kicker ending will play out.
