Review of Super Shark

Super Shark (2011)
2/10
You don't often battle a giant shark as a walking tank, but it's disappointing.

One doesn't go into a quality work line B-movie expecting to see anything. Another goes into a B-movie that assumes comedic values from poor performance, which is mostly disappointing and not "so bad it's fine." Super Shark is about a giant prehistoric shark in a nameless town that causes havoc. When I say that more than half of this movie is filler, I'm not joking. This started when we first got introduced to our three main lifeguard characters and two of the same guy's female lifeguards. If you're curious what I'm going to tell you about this storyline. ABSOLUTELY GOT-DAM NOTHING. All three characters die in the film, adding nothing to it.Although one scene involving the two female lifeguards was funny when one of them shouted "I wish I'd die" and then the shark came from nowhere to eat both. The other line of plot is about a researcher trying to kill the sharks of prehistory. I found it hilarious that she convinces the oil tycoon by taking a lemon and squishing lemon juice in front of him that there is chemicals in the air. The ironic part is that he ordered it, which contributes to even more loading. It has a bikini contest that doesn't serve any purpose with the most gross host that isn't eaten sadly. Moments like these do not help to drive the story along, because the director had the gall to add the winners ' photo shoot sequence. A woman defends herself momentarily with a beach umbrella in that photo shoot scene, and Super Shark has trouble killing her, though he had no trouble sinking a whole oil tanker and taking an aircraft down. Which leaves nothing to talk about except the climax, trust me that the non-shark scenes are worth writing about. The climax involves going up against a walking tank with Super Shark, I was really looking forward to this. You're not a walking tank often fighting a giant shark, but it's disappointing.
