3/10
Okay, WHAT!?

The Asylum is well-known for making low-budget sci-fi movies, some of which are rip-offs of famous high-budget films. It scored big with it's greatest hit "Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus" and then the sequel came around. And then we have this piece of crap: Mega Python vs Gatoroid. Now, I have to admit that the idea has good potential, making a movie based on the current turf war that's going on in the Everglades between the native alligators and invasive pythons. With this, I give this movie credit. But they screwed it all up with the rest.

Led by the 80s pop star Deborah Gibson, environmental extremists release a bunch of captive pythons into the Everglades and somehow they become the size of anacondas. In retaliation, the other 80s pop star Tiffany feeds local alligators growth hormone-induced meat and soon the reptiles become huge. The war begins as the animals feed on each other and soon both species get even bigger, a recipe for disaster like this movie. Soon they team up against humanity and our heroes must stop them. Whoopedy doo.

This film is an epic fail. Terrible dialogue, terrible story, terrible characters. There's barely any fighting between the animals in the first half of the movie and all of a sudden they team up. WHAT!? They're defying the "Versus" part of the title! The only fight that appeals to people is the cat fight between Debbie and Tiffany, which is pretty much the only good part. There's tons of stupid moments, none of which work into this movie's favor like a python flying in the air after it bites into a blimp with the Asylum's logo on it. Even more unbelievable is that they killed off both pop stars with the animals they ironically were trying to protect.

This was a mess, but at least it beats "Watchmen" and "The Butterfly Effect". Want some dumb, low-budget monster fun? Go right ahead and see it. Don't say I didn't give you a heads up.
