The Mega Shark series is fantastic! The films throw logic as high in the air as the Mega Shark leaps (and this film's shark leaps the highest of all!), but who cares, as therein lies the guilty pleasure of these crazy movies, and Mega Shark vs. Kolossus is no exception as it pushes the crazy level to the max. As ever, the Mega Shark makes its entrance with the quickest of introductions before rapidly getting down to its national monument smashing and ship-devouring ways. However, this time the mad megalodon must face an adversary who is a cross between a giant Ultra Man and Iron Maiden's lovable mascot, Eddie-the Head (and what is not to love in that pairing?). OK, so maybe the two titans pretty much act like they are in two separate films for most of the action, but it is still a cheese-laden marvel when they do come together in WWE-style combat. Add a David Beckham look-alike tech-philanthropist, a mighty CIA agent, a ship's bridge that could be the interior of a bus, a very game and knowingly irreverent Illeana Douglas, plus battleships being swatted hither and thither by the titular Mega Shark, and you have another perfect Saturday night schlock fest that is that is everything you could hope for from a Mega Shark that apparently has the ability to destroy all of humanity (I'm still not fully sure how sharks can do that, even megasharks, but these films assure us that they can so that is good enough for me).
