Sharkenstein

I seriously considered trying a new, different review format for this one: just taking a bunch of screen shots and letting them tell the story. And that might actually be better in this case. I don't even know where to start: really bad acting, plot holes that a shark could fly through, special effects worse than any I've ever seen. This movie is to modern shark movies what 1995 web page design is to modern sleek, stylistic web pages. There were literally some shark effects that looked like they were made by elementary school students. There were also insane, completely out-of-place things in the movie...just when you thought you'd seen it all, something else would happen, like the shark suddenly sprouting limbs and heading onto land. Horrible. Perhaps the best example I can show is the absolutely deceptive cover art, compared to what we actually get in the movie:

   

The picture on the left shows something huge and scary, being attacked by jet planes...whereas the picture on the right shows the puppet/claymation/drawing that was LITERALLY INSERTED INTO SCENES WITH ACTORS. I think my final thought here is that perhaps they should have cut out the drawing from the cover art and inserted it directly into the scenes with actors, and just thrown the damn puppet away.
