ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!
Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
MartianOctocretr5 At least you get to see the star monster a little more often in this sequel than the first time out. Still not enough creature screen time though. The film instead spends a lot of time with the "nobody believes the hero when he says there's a monster" bit.A big city gets it again: the creature visits New York to watch the July 4 fireworks extravaganza. He takes up residence in the river, and occasionally attacks. Acting isn't really bad; for example, the children on the bus really do seem frightened. The leads make the most of the script they're given. Some of the attacks are played silly and with indifference; it's not clear if you're supposed to care about characters or not. The set-up for the final attack takes way too long (with some dumb stuff hammered in), and then you see more of a fireworks display rather than monster action.Routine creature feature; good enough if you have nothing else to do.
atinder I hated the first movie is really boring and we only get see the Octopus at the end. The plot Dead bodies are being found in the New York harbor. The police have no clues nor suspects until Nick and his colleague realize the killer is a giant octopus. Everybody, especially the police captain, refuses to believe Nick's story, and soon the harbor will be filled with boats for the 4th of July celebrations...In this movie we get to see more of the Giant Octopus and Special effects for this movie are really good for it's time.The acting is this movie not bad but not great too but okay and watch able. The are some really cheese scenes to movie but if can get past that, You should enjoy the rest of movie. 5/10
gothicgoblin1334 Oh wow, the character shares my name first name! Nick! This movie as bad as the first one, if not worse. Well, at least there's an actual octopus in this movie. An actual octopus that makes a better appearance in this film. By better, I mean, "Longer" the acting is pretty dry and it's hard to sit through. Just to let you know, when this ninety minute film ends not only are you freed from your couch but you get your ability to breathe back. Not only that, but you realise how stupid you are and then commit suicide, realising how horrible life is after watching this film. Really, it shows how desperate horror movies are today, more crap like this is being realised and where the hell have the real masters of horror been lately? This film should have been the final straw, so we can bring back cinematic geniuses in horror cinema, that could make some actually GOOD modern horror films, this movie bites.
str0ntiumd0g ******WARNING. Spoilers ahead... although the movie is called Octopus 2. You kinda know what you are going to get really.******I got this movie for Christmas along with 23 other top quality movies (including the first one) from my fiancee and her mother. They must really hate me! Only joking! Can't beat a load of bad movies for a great xmas!Now Octopus 2 is a movie you have to be in the mood for. It's bad. The movie is about an octopus attacking people in New York. Okay this will be a stretch of the imagination from the very beginning. The first question that sprung into my warped little mind was how deep is that river? I mean that octopus is pretty damn big. It tries to cop a feel of the Statue of Liberty at one point. It's obviously very lonely too. Now here is the plot spoiler- big mutant octopus attacks and eats random people in New York using bad special effects and stock footage from the first Octopus movie. What a cheap killer octopus!Now I don't think that this review needs an in depth synopsis of this masterpiece. It's bad and that is all that needs to be said really. BAD! However I would like to highlight just one thing that stands out in this movie and that is our hero Detective Nick. I like this guy. Once he has an idea in his head he will not let it go. About twenty minutes into this movie he has realised that there is an octopus killing people and everyone else is wrong. There is no evidence to support this but damn it he is right! How could it be anything else! His partner as well was so stereotypical it was scary. He was leaving the scuba team that week! He might as well have tattooed VICTIM in glowing letters across his forehead. My recommendation for this movie is buy it! Hilarity prevails in every scene. Not for the faint of heart or the sane of mind. Oh this is so bad. Did I say that already?
