The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Two researchers discover a colossal shark's tooth off the Mexican coast and soon their worst fears surface eating anything that crosses its path.Unconvincing special effects and Jenny McShane, I must point out that it has the greatest poor line in shark movie history, actor John Barrowman as Ben Carpenter replies to Cataline Stone as she sighs, "I'm exhausted." with his line of..."Yeah, me too. But you know I'm really wired. What do you say I... take you home and eat your pussy." Seriously it happens, I had to rewind it to check I'd heard it right! Awful from start to finish, not even cult status. Nevertheless, it has one bonus- it makes Shark Hunter (2001) look like The Godfather.

I usually watch all kinds of movies, even the bad ones. I sat through Shark Attack 1 & 2 already(not great, but slightly passable cheap entertainment movies), so I figured I might as well endure this one to finish it off (though to my best memory, none of the movies are connected).What I found was a movie that I was surprised even made it out of the editing room. The "special effects" were horrid (I could have made a more convincing shark in my bathtub). The acting was as bad as you'd expect. Of course there's that "famous" line in the movie - by that point, I was slightly comatose and this line forced me to rewind twice just to see if I actually heard what I thought I heard. You could easily find the "line" on Youtube just to see it without having to torture yourself watching the rest of this crap.From what I understand, this movie does have some sort of "cult" following, but it's probably not in the best way. It really is probably one of the worst movies ever made - and I write that knowing that covers a lot of ground (and I've seen a LOT of bad movies over the years). I'd rather watch paint dry than to watch this again. Watch at your own risk.

So, where do I even begin on this summary? Well, I guess we'll start off with how I viewed a clip of this movie on the internet that was talking about some of the worst movie scenes of all time, Shark Attack 3 was #1 with the ending attack. I couldn't stop laughing and darn my attraction to good bad movies, I had to see what this was about. So I bought the film cheap off the net and watched it over the weekend, I don't even know what to say.A very large shark has been terrorizing the workers trying to install an underwater cable of the coast of Mexico, so a resort security diver, Ben, takes it upon himself to put a stop to the killing. However, a tooth he finds is identified by researcher Cat Stone to be from not a shark, but a prehistoric megalodon, thought to be extinct for 24 million years. With a crew of victims they set out to hunt the beast. But little do they know, the big shark attacking their boat and eating their crewmembers are the babies, and their mother is really, really big and angry.First off, I have no idea what country this was made in because like any bad movie, the lip syncing is off. The voices don't even sound like they belong to the actor. Secondly, the acting is so beyond bad, but at least in a fun way. Because honestly with a script where two people are having a normal conversation to the guy interrupting with how he's going to take the girl home and eat her "cat" we'll say to sensor that out. Thirdly, there are very random sex scenes along with nudity that I'm not sure is for the cheap shot because it definitely did not add anything to the story. Fourthly, the shark attack scenes are a lot of really bad home made stock footage that you could totally tell the difference because the shark goes from a normal size shark to 50 times it's size in the next shot.Fifth, the effects are absolutely horrendous, but once again in a fun way. We go from the shark eating a human that is the size of his mouth to him devouring a life boat with several people in it. Sixth, the actors are all unbelievably good looking people who look like they belong on Baywatch. I love how the paleontologist looks like a lost Victoria's Secret model. Seventh, a lot of these victims are so lame, that they deserve to get eaten. I mean the main villain is laughing manically before he sails into the shark's mouth. Eighth, the shark drags his victims now to the sea where for a minute I thought he was dragging a girl to be his mate, but I guess he just wanted dinner to go. Ninth, this was in so many words a rip off of all the Jaws films. The shark is still growling for some reason and that's more funny than scary. And finally, ten, a lot of this film just made no sense whatsoever and wasn't scary by any means. However, it is extremely entertaining on that bad level. So if you're like me looking for a fun bad film, this would be high on the list as I add it to my WTF collection of DVD's. But a warning, this is a bad film if you don't even like the fun ones, you may want to steer clear.1/10

I really wanted to comment and review this movie but everything you want to know about Shark Attack 3 has been said. However I want to make this point perfectly clear; "Optic Fiber Cable" carries no electrical power what-so-ever. It transmits light and uses the pulsation to communicate. If the underwater cable in the movie was "leaking" it would be light not electricity coming from it.Also I noticed no one has commented on Ben Carpenter's odd line in the movie. Frankly I don't understand how he went from asking Miss Stone if he could dine on her cat to actually having sex with her. I understand they eat some odd meat dishes in Mexico, I just never knew cat was on the menu.
