7/10
The ultimate underwater battle of jaws vs jaws.

Warning: Spoilers
Oh, man. Just when things couldn't get any crazier. Then again, what do you expect from a company called The Asylum? With the surprising success of the hit sci-fi movie Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, The Asylum decided to continue the story with an all new foe for their celebrity Megalodon shark, a somewhat bigger budget, and the one and only Jaleel White a.k.a. Urkel from Family Matters.

Plot: Sometime after the events of the previous film, Mega Shark mysteriously comes back crazier than ever (whatever happened to the Giant Octopus is unknown), but this time he's not alone. In the jungles of Africa, a gigantic prehistoric female crocodile has awakened thanks to some illegal mining operation. She gets captured, but soon escapes and goes around laying hundreds of eggs. Attracted to the smell of an easy and plentiful meal, the shark proceeds to eat the eggs, but now he must deal with the wrath of an enraged, protective mother. With the world caught between the two titans, a military sonics wiz/shark specialist, a crocodile expert, and a special agent must find a way to stop these creatures before their battle of self preservation vs. maternal instinct destroys all of humanity.

Compared to M.G. vs G.O., this one is actually a little better and the battles between the monsters is treated with a more epic and destructive feel. Mega shark does his usual tricks like catching planes but Crocosaurus has proved herself to be the more lethal of the two not only because she has a stronger bite (enough to make the shark bleed for a moment) and tougher skin, but she can also can go on land to cause greater destruction and not to mention she has hundreds of babies on the verge of hatching. The stakes are truly raised here. The actors for the most part are okay and the dialogue between Jallel White's and Gary Stretch's characters tends to be pretty funny. On a side note, this movie does have significantly less repeated CGI shots than the fist one, which is good.

Long story short, this is a cool movie and is more worth the watch than the last movie. They should do Crocosaurus vs Giant Octopus next. You're free to see these in order. Check it out.
