Paul Magne Haakonsen Another "Mega Shark" movie, and with the entire series being questionable and cheesy, then there is still something alluring about creature features that involve sharks. So naturally I did sit down to watch "Mega Shark vs. Kolossus" as I had the chance to do so.As for the cast that starred in the movie, well I can't really claim to be familiar with anyone who was in the movie, aside from Illeana Douglas . Now, that is definitely not a bad thing for me, because I do enjoy watching new faces and talents in movies. And people were actually doing good jobs with their given roles and characters, given the cheesy and campy concept of the movie.The story in "Mega Shark vs. Kolossus" was as to be expected, and you know what you are getting yourself into here if you have seen any of the other movies in the series. If you are new to the series of "Mega Shark" movies, then do not take the movie too seriously, because it is definitely rather outrageous in concept and idea.It should be said that the effects in this particular movie were actually quite good, and might very well range among the better of CGI and special effects seen in the "Mega Shark" movie series so far. However, I just can't grasp the concept of having sharks growl. Sure, because a silent killer is not as menacing as one making sound. But come on, a growling shark just makes it seem ridiculous.Now, the concept idea of a massive kolossus doomsday machine was just a bit too far out there. But it did fit in well enough with the rest of the campy concept of the movie in a way.While "Mega Shark vs. Kolossus" is not a movie experience of Shakespearian proportions, then it is still entertaining enough for what it turned out to be. If you enjoy these cheesy and campy shark creature features, then "Mega Shark vs. Kolossus" should prove entertaining for you.

Leofwine_draca This is one of the worst of the Asylum 'giant monster' films I've watched yet. It manages to be a much bigger disappointment than the original MEGA SHARK VS. GIANT OCTOPUS and also wastes a premise that wouldn't have been out of place in a kaiju flick: a giant shark is once again terrorising international waters, and the danger is compounded when a giant Russian colossus comes out of the depths to also wreak havoc.It simply feels like the guys at The Asylum weren't trying at all with this one. The special effects are very poor indeed, particularly the underwater stuff, although I admit I did get a kick out of the few scenes of the Kolossus walking around and destroying stuff (it goes back to my childhood experience with Talos in JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS). The giant shark stuff is really, really, pitiful and has a hackneyed, 'seen it all' before feel.There aren't even any recognisable stars in this one, just a bunch of bad actors going through the motions. The CGI is horrible, the lighting is inefficient, and there's no gore or violence to speak of. It all feels like a half-hearted cartoon and is even worse than comparable stuff like BERMUDA TENTACLES - and that's saying something!

GL84 Following the appearance of another Mega Shark, a CIA Agent and a technology mogul team up to take it down only for the sudden reawakening of a Cold-War era robot to throw a further complication into the battle to stop the deadly creature.While this one doesn't quite manage to make it to the top of the franchise this is still a wholly worthwhile entry. As was the case with the previous efforts, a lot of this one is due to the massive cheese here which is based on the efforts of the shark here getting the most amount of screen-time possible here. The majority of this one is spent with the military's attacks trying to cut it down, from the opening battle in the mini-subs to the full-scale assault on the open seas and finally the creature attacking the fleet with it's trademark high- altitude jumps of it leaping out of the water and taking out the destroyers in marvelous action scenes that keep up the spectacle and excitement from the rest of the series. As well, the addition of the giant robot here manages a great deal of fun by also managing to incorporate more land-scenes here with the race to understand it's motives as it rampages through the countryside leaving a great sense of destruction behind it, and also giving this one some spectacular early fights between the two in all sorts of cheesy spectacle. There's a lot of great fun to be had in the final half as well with the naval battle taking place in the inlet that distracts the shark enough to wrestle control of the robot during the encounter, the big battle with the Air Force in a fine aerial battle that comes off really nicely and the big battle at the end that manages to leave both creatures with plenty of high-spots since they put together a nicely detailed battle that's far more engaging than expected. These here are enough to hold this off from the few small flaws here, with the biggest one again coming from the rather weak CGI found throughout this one keeping it from really being taken seriously despite the spectacle of the story here. The robot's initial reactivation scene, the big battle with the destroyers at sea and the final battle are all way too obvious about their qualities despite the fact that there's a rather exciting series of action scenes overplaying during that time, and the fact that there's other times throughout this that aren't as obvious about the nature of the effects really causes those to stand out considerably. As well, the film also suffers with the needless subplot about the deranged scientist secretly working to gain control over the robot that comes out of nowhere, is accomplished with ten minutes to go in the film and really feels like an after-thought to get the film up to a respectable running time rather than doing anything of any coherent value and logic really makes it odd and really distracting. Otherwise, this one had a lot more going for it to make it enjoyable enough.Rated Unrated/R: Language and Violence.

tkmdelorey I love the way that Asylum actively promotes recycling by throwing in random clips from U.S. Navy stock footage regardless of whether this or that particular ship has previously been used in this movie. This one has clips of an Iowa-class battleship firing its big guns that I am pretty sure were used in American Warships, as well as the mandatory sinking of a U.S. aircraft carrier using the same special effect that was previously used in American Warships and Age of Ice. We also have the obligatory black actor as the senior Naval officer. No problem there, but will somebody please tell Asylum that Admirals do not tool around in destroyers, and that if you are going to film the Admiral on the bridge in open sea, it would be good not to have trees and land visible out the non-military window of the bridge they are filming on. Three stars for the three drinks you will need to get through this one.
