I mean at this point if you watch a movie like this. A Made for Syfy water monster you know what you're getting. CGI monster, evil scientists, evil government, one good scientist, one good scientist, some random asshole, and a shit ton of bikini bods.
Do you think this conversation ever happened.
Director: Mr. Roberts, glad you're here. Did you look over the script.
Eric Roberts: What? No, just tell me what kind of creepy asshole evil scientist I am.
Director: Mr. Roberts, you're not a creepy...
Roberts: Look kid you hired Eric Fucking Roberts, you want a creepy asshole evil scientist.
Director: Sir,…

"Like a shark, S-11 can sense electrical impulses, helping it navigate. We manipulate this ability by transmitting focused electrical charges to a series of receptors implanted in S-11's cerebral cortex."

Well, now I'm embarrassed. I wrote this whole review under the mistaken assumption that this was another movie from The Asylum, which it is not. In my defense it's very similar both in content (sharks) and budget (low), and with the inconsistency of The Asylum I hope my mistake is understandable. I've left my original review intact below. It doesn't really have much to do with Sharktopus anyway.
Thanks for reading

The usual crap story of scientists create an abomination and it escapes and then they have to hunt it down....and of course one of the people wants to capture rather than kill. But this movie has a funny Roger Corman cameo. This movie actually features some practical gore effects interspersed with the cgi. This movie has a nice high body count. This movie lingers on the kills and the kills are bloody and often well done...at least compared to most other movies of this sort.
Like I said, story is so standard. But it's fun for people like me who enjoy crappy shark movies. Lots of kills, chomps, tentacle stabbings, and blood.
i want to apologize to everyone. i am so deeply sorry, but i will be going away for a teeny bit, and due to the fact that not a single stream service i have carries any of my beloved shark movies, i cannot watch them. i know, i know. i’m devastated. since starting this message, i’ve had 3 tears stream down my face. it took me a total of 17 minutes to stop crying and pull myself together. i’m sorry logang, but we must pull through as a community and strive during this hard time.
as for sharktopus, my review is:
dude, wearing a sombrero while swimming in the pool is WILD
This movie is the equivalent of monkey crap, there's no doubt about that. The actual Sharktopus sounds like the Loch Ness Monster. The CGI is terrible, but that was expected. The acting and dialogue was cheesy. But for this movie, the "it's so bad it's good" rule kicks in a bit, because I actually sort of laughed at all the crap in this movie. That's why it's not a 0.5 star movie. Stay away from this movie, unless you are watching it for it's cheesiness.
"I think Sharktopus goes over the limits of insanity." --Roger Corman, explaining why he initially didn't want to produce Sharktopus for Syfy
"Roger was very concerned about the logic of Sharktopus, how it came into being. I wasn't so concerned with that, but he was." --Roger's producing partner, Julie Corman
