It's big! It's tentacled! It's BIG OCTOPUS! Big Octopus was a Chinese attempt at Kaiju. It succeeded in some ways and failed in others.

Life for a restaurant owner was turned upside down when he hauled in a strangely cute octopus. Of course, his love interest was a scientist, and she rather ominously told him he must never sell the octopus for any price. It didn't take long for the evil biogenetic mogul to show up offering money. A camouflage wearing commando unit was shown killing off people in a compound and then headed to the restaurant. More dangerous than either gun toting group, was when Big Mama Octopus discovered her baby was with the humans. Somehow the people involved had never learned the number one rule in nature---
never mess with a baby animal because the mama might be nearby. Big Mama Octopus was not having it and tore the joint up as her tentacles rampaged across the beach and restaurant in search of her baby. Fun fact, her tentacles were extra-sensory. With one touch she could tell that a woman was pregnant and left her alone. Motherly courtesy, I guess.

Before long, everyone ended up on an island where a WWII bunker was hidden. The Big Bad Businessman's grandfather had run experiments with the Nazis back in the 1940's and Big Mama Octopus was the result. The girlfriend scientist and the hapless restaurateur ended up along for the ride as well as the Killer Commando Unit. Big Mama Octopus sent her infinitely long tentacles through the underground corridor killing bad guys left and right, at least whoever was left after the Killer Commandos did their work.

Big Octopus had more story and better acting than most kaiju films. There was romance, discussion on the ethics of bioengineering, and a little comedy. The storytelling wasn't great though, it lacked consistency and felt like certain parts had been edited out. It was also infinitely bloodier than the older kaiju movies. The Commando unit delighted in head shots. Big Mama Octopus impaled and dismembered various "red shirts". The acting was stronger, but that was a low bar to begin with. I wouldn't go so far as to say the acting was exceptional, more along the lines of adequate for the genre. The production values, with the exception of the CGI, were good, and as a 2020 movie they should have been.

The biggest problem with this movie was that it failed in the number one rule of kaiju movies---show the monster! With the exception of a couple of shots, the body of the octopus was never shown. The bad CGI tentacles received plenty of screen time. It would be like only seeing the dirty toenails of Godzilla as he stomped through town but never seeing the whole monster.

As a guilty pleasure popcorn movie, it was fine. If you enjoy kaiju movies, it's one worth trying out if you don't mind the lack of money shots for the Big Octopus.
