Cool...?

I know many people don't like this movie, and I'll admit, even though it is a B movie, it still is my favorite. But I want your opinion. Do you think its good? I was pretty surprised they got a giant octopus robot, but all the stock footage brought it down, especially the end. But the octopus did look pretty cool. But what am I saying? Who thinks this is a fun B movie, put your opinion here.

(For those who don't know what a B movie is, the B stands for Bad. So a B movie is a movie thats so bad its good.)

no...

The term B movie originally referred to a motion picture made on a low or modest budget and intended for distribution as the less-publicized, bottom half of a double feature during the so-called Golden Age of Hollywood. Although the U.S. production of movies intended as second features largely ceased by the end of the 1950s, the term B movie continues to be used in a broader sense, referring to any low-budget, commercial motion picture meant neither as an arthouse film nor as pornography.

I thought it was pretty darn good! POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!!

I was a little dissapointed with the people falling off the Statue of Liberty, it lookes kind of cheesy even for a b-movie, but then I realized it was just a dream! (I have way better special affects in my dreams. )

Yeah i liked it better than the first there wasnt enough octopus action in the first some of the tentacle effects were laughable in this one but thats what makes it fun.
