After a dry spell, I finally got a chance to go to the show and I couldn’t get to the “Black Klannsmen”, so what’s better than to see a movie about a giant prehistoric fish. I love shark movies, esp. giant shark movies. The bigger the better. You can keep the Sharknado movies, but when it comes to Jason Statham chewing up the scenery battling this big boy, I’m on board for this ride. Let’s face it, this is a dumb movie. The acting is bad, the story is nonsense, it’s predictable and there is even a Chinese version of Toni Basil’s “Mickey” song played twice. However, the fun factor rings the top bell. There is enough cheese and goofiness to balance out the scares and it’s not overly scary or gory. It’s also not done on the cheap. They spent some dough on this fish tale. I expect they’ll make another one as this one has been doing well at the box office. Why not? It’s dumb summer fun.
