Summary: Terrible
Review: I was appalled by how stupid this movie was like when the actors were diving into the water with the sharks only a few metres away. I mean that's just asking to be killed! It was also a disgusting movie by showing the actors being ripped apart by the sharks. Worst movie ever.

Summary: Tremendous Movie - Humor mixed with "thriller" action.
Review: I certainly didn't expect the volume of humor that was mixed throughout this film, but it was well placed and helped to ease some of the tension you felt throughout the movie. I'm not usually a big fan of "thrillers", but this was a tremendous movie with enough of a story to keep most anyone satisfied. This is one "thriller" that I'm proud to have in my collection.

Summary: Hardly JAWS, but still a worthy thriller
Review: Deep Blue Sea is the kind of movie one can rent on a Friday night, really love, and think about buying someday...only sometime after the upcoming Jaws Special Edition DVD. For although it's not a seemless classic like Jaws, Deep Blue Sea is still one of the most suspenseful films of the late '90s. Pitting a strong cast (typified by Samuel L. Jackson, the hardest-working man in Hollywood) with awesome digital effects (like the director brags, it's hard to tell when it's a digital shark, a real shark, or a model), we get a thrill-ride with lots of spunk. The DVD has a lot of cool extras also--not one but two documentaries on the making of the film.If there's any drawbacks, it's that the sharks (surprisingly enough) didn't get enough screen time. Granted, I wouldn't want them to be in front of us all the time, but their absence at times made the film feel more like just a disaster film (let's get out before we drown) a la "The Poseidon Adventure." Also, some of the deleted scenes should have been left in so that certain characters could have been more developed.

Summary: Lots of Fun!
Review: Put aside your credibilities, and just sit back and enjoy this very enjoyable shark movie! The movie has lots of surprises, particularly who gets it and when they get it! It also has some really top-notch visual effects and outstanding chase and action sequences. It's like one of those movies you went to back in the fifties and sixties and wanted to stay and see a second time. The plot is a little far-fetched but involving; the cast won't win any Oscars, but why should they in this type of film? Ironically, the least effective portrayal comes from the biggest name in the cast -- Samuel L. Jackson. It doesn't help with those goofy looking glasses, but Sam seems to come across an African-American proud to play a rich billionaire! But it's not a BAD performance, just a little under what you'd expect from him. The best performance comes from Thomas Jane, a really convincing everyday kind of guy who seems sincere in his delivery and also truly plays the hero, but vulnerable and not superhuman! I hope we see more of Mr. Jane in the future. The rest of the cast is adequate and effective. LL Cool J continues to be a pleasant addition to any "scary" movie (did you see him in "Halloween H20?), and he's fun to watch and cheer for. Saffron Burrows is effectively icy as the "anti-heroine", and even though she does her Sigourney Weaver rip-off of running around in her bra and underpants, the reasoning is sound and she even puts her wet suit back on rather quickly! Michael Rapaport is a physical double for Sean Penn, and contributes nicely to the ensemble. I like this movie a lot, and it's the first shark movie since the original "Jaws" that delivers! Sit back and enjoy, and stay out of the water!

Summary: Fantastic story and brilliant sharks too
Review: This story sure beats JAWS in many ways. although in a few shots the sharks look pathetic compared to the dinos of JURASSIC PARK, i love sharks so i don't care that much. the story is about Suzanne McAlester who is out to save the world with a solution that can cure Alzihmers. You should definately see this film if not buy it straight away. just a shame about the cheap packaging!

Summary: PASSABLE
Review: The movie is o.k, definitely not the very best, but ok. For one, I'll agree with the view that some scenes were definitely irritating. I mean the scene with LL Cool J in the oven, get real people! The shark pounds through basically EVERYTHING that it wants to enter and on encountering a perfectly harmless oven, it cannot get in! Furthermore, he literally cuts himself out of there in like five seconds, I mean who pounds through steel so easily? Right there and then, we know that LL is definitely going to star (big surprise). Too convenient actually. I was disgusted by his blasphemy when he uttered his so-called prayer,and I am not a christian, just thought it was downright disrespectful of everything we know to be right. Obscenities are often called for, but in a setting like that , it didn't vibes very well. Apart from that, I did enjoy the movie. In particular, I admired Thomas Jane's character and he is actually the reason why I am writing this review. The bravery and confidence he displays when he comes into contact with such monstrous predators is astounding and I must admit that I was continuously enthralled by him throughout the movie. To be honest, he actually kept me watching the movie. In a sense, I wonder if he is actually like that in real life. Not the best movie, maybe there is too much presence of "convenience" (even with Jane himself, I'll admit) but, all in all, I enjoyed being teased by the idea of a group of people trapped beneath the sea with a bunch of savage sharks on the loose.

Summary: IT DROWNED
Review: I personally have nothing against murderous super-sharks, but this offering was rather poor. This movie did not deliver on any genre. As a horror, it was not scary, as a thriller it was too predictable, as a comedy it was not funny, and as a drama it was simply ludicrous. I was surprised when the chef got away the first time, but this essentially meant he would make it to the end, which eliminated any future thought of a twist. On a positive note, I did quite like the soundtrack. I would say that was the best aspect of the movie. ... I was impressed by the way they explained away the non-sensical attack of the sharks, even though it made little more sense than the rest of the movie, it gave an original reason. Overall, this movie is not one for a second viewing, and the only excuse for any who hasn't seen it yet to watch it would be extreme boredom combined with morbid curiousity.

Summary: ..........they recognize that gun!
Review: This movie is one of the very best since the Jaws series. The sharks really made it feel as if you were watching real life action. After watching this movie at least ten times, I must say it is one of the very best in its category. If you like suspence, action, and jumps, Deep Blue Sea is your type of film.
