Kraken: Tentacles of the Deep

The Kraken is a legendary sea monster that may have been confused with a giant squid.  It doesn't have to be a six armed sea creature that terrorizes Greeks.  However, I will always think of the kraken being released by Poseidon whenever I think of the kraken.  You can think of the squid.

Here is the short, short version of the story: girl needs to find a rock and a mask, gets help from a hunky guy, they meet a bad guy along the way, squid food, dead squid.  Digital squid aside, this movie lacks a lot.  At first when I saw the first victim get thrashed about by the squid, I thought things would be okay.  And even the second and third victims.  The third victim even gets decapitated.  But after the third victim meets the squid, it is a long time before any real action happens.

I was bored with this movie real quick.  Lack of blood.  Lack of digital squid.  Lack of a good story.  And even when they tried to sex it up and have a woman in a bikini, it still wasn't all that sexy.

What's his name from Glee is in this movie.  Yes.  I watch Glee.  Is that so wrong?  Of course it is, what am I thinking.

I give this movie 0 out 5 calamari dinners.
