To explain, yesterday was my nephew's birthday party and because of my schedule, I didn't learn of it until Thursday. Since I didn't have a lot of time to shop, I just gave him some of my old GBA Pokemon games since he likes the show. He made me play with him and man, those games are like heroin: easily addictable and hard to quit.
 
As for why I spoilered that part, it didn't feel right to reveal something that happens at the end of the credits.

A lot of movies are criticized for pandering to an audience, but I don't think they should be panned just for pandering. Hugo shamelessly panders to film buffs, but it's an EXTREMELY well-made film! It's films that pander to an audience, but fail miserably that deserve panning. Films like Shark Night 3D, that tries to pander to fans of sleazy bloody boobie movies, but doesn't seem to realize why people "like" those types of movies.

 
The good:
 
Sara Paxton and Katherine McPhee in bikinis: Pretty much self-explanatory.
 
Malik: Malik is a football player who gets his arm bitten off by a shark. Later in the film, he punches the shark out with his remaining hand. The film should have been more of that and less of the actual movie.
 
The music video: After the credits, there's a music video that is a good indication of what the film should have been! Malik's solo is a higlight.
 
The bad:
 
Sara Paxton and Katherine McPhee's acting: They may look good in bikinis, but their acting lives much to be desired. If you want to see Paxton in an actually scary movie, go order The Innkeepers OnDemand.
 
The special effects: The shark effects are terrible, but not as hilarious as the ones in Shark Attack 3: Megalodon!* Also, I heard that the 3D effects weren't good.
 
The ugly:
 
The message: The message of the film seem sto be that people who watch violent movies all really want to watch REAL violence. Hypocritical because the film itself is violent.
 
The PG-13 rating: It desperately wants to be the Piranha 3D of 2011, but it doesn't want to lose the valuable money of teenagers. This leads to the biggest failing of the film:
 
The failure to commit to being a sleazy bloody boobie movie: I've never seen a film that rips-off a movie without realizing what made it "good" so badly in my movie watching career. The biggest example would be the dog in the movie. Dogs survive disaster movies. (i.e. Armageddon, Independence Day, 2012) Dogs don't survive these types of movie! I'm not saying I want to see dogs being eaten, but it just shows how the filmmakers didn't want to commit to their movie.
 
The reason why this review was posted later than usual is because I fell off the Pokemon wagon. Grade: C-
 
Next-up: Alien 3!

I didn't think Sucker Punch was meant to be mindless entertainment like Piranha 3D. I thought it had a lot to say and there were some mature themes including possible rape and sexual abuse. I thought it was a very good movie because it wasn't some mindless film.

If there is one thing I hate on this earth in the cinematic world it is watered down PG-13 horror movies. Go all in with films like these or don't go in! You are either something or you are not. Don't give us horror fans this PG-13 nonsense.

I said there were dozens of shark attack themed horror movies made over the course of the past three decades, I never said any of them were wildly successful, but they exist. Most of which are made by, you guessed it, The Asylum or SyFy Channel! However, you can easily spot these kind of movies at your local Best Buy or other DVD retail store, that was what I meant by living under a rock.

As for this flick getting under 30% at Rotten Tomatoes and Meta Critic ... come on, of course! What do you expect from a movie that's true selling point was it being a weak sauce version of "Girls Gone Wild ... With A Shark"!?

I'm gonna have to disagree with Orca not being funny. The whale baby falling on the ship? Hilarious. The casual way it was washed off? More hilarious. Bo Derek losing a leg? Crowning moment of funny! OK, a lot of other scenes were hard to sit through, but those three scenes ALONE more than made up for it.

Shows you how bad they all are if you can't even remember the names of the blatant generic rip offs...however there is one that still comes pretty close that is a memorable rip off (This to was based on an original Novel as well), except instead of a shark its about a revenge seeking whale called Orca. It stared the late Richard Harris of Camelot (And yes Harry Potter) and Charlotte Rampling of Logan's Run. Universals competitor Paramount decided to churn this out when the original Jaws turned out to be such a whopping success.
 
At the end of the movie the audience was cheering the whale on to just end the movie so you could leave the Theater and not feel you wasted $5.00 of your parents hard earned money.Clap
 
If I also remember correctly I believe this movie was also in John's Book of the worst 100 movies of all time, If it wasn't it should have been...I'll verify tomorrow when I get some sleep.Sleepy  


RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Sorry to say, ORCA actually wasn't in THE OFFICIAL RAZZIE MOVIE GUIDE, even though it was the film debut of 1980s RAZZIE® Icon Bo Derek. When I re-screened it while writing the book, I decided it was just too boring to suggest anyone sit through it!

I do, however, have a favorite anecdote about ORCA: When it played for all of 10 days at the movie theatre I managed while attending UCLA, the film's producer Dino deLaurentiis would come in every day, checking on the grosses (which were piddling at best). When the film failed to even half sell out during its opening week, Dino sat down and began sobbing in our lobby, asking (with his comical Italian accent): "Why nobody love my whale?!?!?"

OK, saying that I've been living under a rock AND then admitting that most shark films are indie horror flicks (meaning the majority of the public wouldn't know of them) is a contradiction. However, looking at the list on Wikipedia, I recognized Open Water (which was excellent) and Deep Blue Sea (which was OK).

Moviewizguy: You actually haven't heard of any other shark movies except for the Jaws series? 
Then you must have been living under a rock with your fingers in your ears for the past 30+ years. Look up "shark" at IMDb.com and you should find a list about a mile long. It's just that "Jaws" is the only series that is widely known by the mainstream public, since it's a major studio franchise, and not some low budget indie horror flick like most others are.]]> Fri, 02 Sep 2011 21:03:25 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5340&PID=46053#46053 MEMBER DISCUSSION of SHARK NIGHT 3-D : I didn't think we would get... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5340&PID=46039#46039 Author: ITbeast

I was afraid for a second we would get this wrong. Now it's been released, and the reviews at Rotten T are at 24% (top of the "terrible" range). Apollo 18 has only 1 percent more than this. Metacritic has a contrast: Shark Night 3D is down to 23% at Metacritic (Never thought Metacritic would rate anything lower than Rotten T did again, did you?), and Apollo 18 is at... that's right!: 18% at Metacritic. That's below their 20% threshold for "overwhelming dislike or extreme disgust" (!) Any chance that Apollo 18 could be a Bonus Worst New Movie for Spt. 2?

This looks to be typical Hollywood fare in the horror genre these days: These kind of movies come out because they usually sell, and they probably aren't that expensive to make. 

But they are also highly un-original, which sucks. It's a pity, 'cause I was hoping for more from this one.
