Another watchable, if disappointing, entry in producer Roger Corman's latest series of creature feature films following the success of Sharktopus. Dinoshark could have played up to the environmental angel of the film's story more strongly. There could have been more campy and outrageous situations for the characters to engage themselves in. The Dinoshark could have been engaged in more innovative action. The film could have played more strongly to the "don't go in the water" element of the material like Jaws and Piranha did.
