Actually SharkMan was worse than bad, I personally found it awful. Was there a redeeming quality? Yes, and only one. Jeffrey Combs who gives his all to a character who is not only clichéd but never really believable. The rest of the cast don't put anywhere near as much effort, you actually do question what William Forsythe was doing here in the first place. But the acting is not the only bad asset. There is also the hilariously terrible special effects, very rubber-like and silly-looking. Instead of feeling any sense of danger, I was silently chuckling to myself at how ridiculous the effects looked. The camera work and editing was also too much, rapid and always moving, sometimes it is very difficult to see or work out what's going on. The gore was nothing out of the ordinary, you do get the sense that you have seen it before and in much more of an inspired way. The dialogue is cheesy, the story predictable and devoid of suspense(which would have made the gore work a little more I think) and the characters stereotypical and annoying, the Russian scientist character never rang true to me. Overall, apart from Combs SharkMan was a mess. 1/10 Bethany Cox
