I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
For some odd reason I keep returning to movies like this, even though you know already that it is 99% likely going to be another stinker. And this whole genre is just loaded with questionable additions that outdo each other in one way or another.But still, every now and then there are some of these movies that turn out to be entertaining and funny to watch. "Sharktopus vs Whalewolf", however, just wasn't one of those movies.With movies such as "Sharktopus vs Whalewolf" you already know that you will most likely be in for some questionable CGI and special effects. But "Sharktopus vs Whalewolf" was not even trying. The CGI effects in this movie were among the top of most laughable and poor CGI effects that I have seen in this genre of movies.The story in "Sharktopus vs Whalewolf" was also among some of the more outrageous and laughable of story lines, even for this particularly unique genre of movies. Why? Well, because it seemed like the writers weren't even trying to be serious."Sharktopus vs Whalewolf" is also filled with lame attempts at incorporating comedy in the movie; attempts which really failed at every aspect. And the movie suffered from that.Catherine Oxenberg has the worst fake German accent ever and puts on one of the worst acting performances in the history of low budget creature features. But that might actually be one of the selling points to the movie, and why you should check it out. Trust me, it is worth watching, because it is bad on an epic scale.Oh, and there was one scene where I counted 31 shots being fired from a handgun. That was just impressive. So at least there was something impressive to be seen in "Sharktopus vs Whalewolf".
Kevin O'Neill directs this third installment of the Sharktopus saga; the creature still lurks the waters of the Dominican Republic after defeating the fierce Pteracuda. A booze hound boat captain Ray(Casper Van Dien)and his sometime inept partner Pablo(Jorge Eduardo De Los Santos)are hired by a voodoo priest to find Sharktopus and cuts its heart out and return with it. Meanwhile, mentored by the crazed Rico Symes, Dr. Reinhart(Catherine Oxenberg)creates her own mutant creature. She mixes the DNA from a wolf and a killer whale, thus welcome Whalewolf. Sharktopus will realize it has a challenge in store. Might be the better of the franchise.Other players: Tony Almont, Akari Endo, Jennifer Wenger, and Olga Valdez.
Where do I begin with this movie? I guess with the first twenty minutes, since that is as far as we got before we said "WTF are we watching?" The doctor with the German accent was difficult to understand and seemed to lack any passion for her job, nor did she care about the well being of her patients. It wasn't clear what the purpose of this experiment was, and I don't know how a werewhale relates to anti aging, not do I know why the doctor wanted to be bitten by him. All I know is this movie is unwatchable, Syfy is apparently phoning it in and banking on it's reputation of campy monster movies to lure in viewers, but this one is just crap.
For once, a SyFy original that's funny on purpose.If we're lucky, one out of every 200 SyFy originals is decent entertainment because the people behind it knew what they were doing with direction, music, editing, and above all, the script. Sadly, most SyFy orgs feel like a near death experience.Sharktopus vs Whalewolf is just as stupid a premise as any other SyFy flick, and the film makers embrace this, turning it into one of the funnier films. And yes, it's meant to be funny. Catherine Oxenberg is obviously having a blast as the hammy Kraut. Casper Van Dien (whose beard is somehow 30 years older than the rest of him) is the Errol Flynn type (the alcoholic Flynn, that is). Akari Endo, for whom this is not her first SyFy rodeo gets to shine as the take-charge badge on the beach.The effects are slightly more polished in the CGI department, but it's still CGI and the Whalewolf looks more like a monster puppy than a man eater, but that's part of the charm.Highly recommended but don't come into this expecting bad SyFy or even so-bad-it's good. Get ready to chortle!
