Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The master of explosions! Director Renny H. does it again!
Review: Well this movie is good but not for owning maybe renting it and seeing it some 2 or 3 times max It is a combination of Jaws with Jurassic Park and even Alien with a whole bunch of explosions and uncredible scenes because of the explosions and luck of most of the characters (SPOILER-not much luck for Samuel Jackson who becomes shark food-END) I liked the effects that are ok for a 60M movie that had lots of explosions. The acting is a bit under normal but not horrible. The story of a cure for alzheimer's disease is hmmm. This movie is just action fun rent it but I wouldn't buy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Find out how terrifying the Deep Blue Sea is
Review: I saw a teaser trailer of this film and it looked like a rip off of Jaws. I usually find it worth my money watching a big budget hollywood movie at the cinemas, so me and my mates got together to give this a go. The movie starts off with some teens partying who little to their knowledge are about to be attacked by a shark, I thought oh no could be a remake of jaws but then the film takes a turn and all thecharcters are introed and the film comes into its own. Scientists at a remote reserarch lab facility are performing tests on sharks as a result of the tests the sharks become bigger and smarter and one by one hunt down the scientists causing a lot of chaos and having a feast of a meal. The DVD with its extras is a treat and definitely one for your collection. See it. Buy it

Summary: Think "Die Hard" underwater.
Review: Okay, granted. The terrorists are genetically altered mako sharks. The holiday revelers are a team of scientists; the flown-in "hero" is their corporate sponsor. And instead of shooting you, the "bad guys" want to have you for brunch. But the premise feels very familiar -- and there are some really cool explosions.... So if you're looking for a thrilling way to spend 105 minutes, I recommend this film highly.

On the other hand, if you're the type who appreciates well-crafted dialogue, excellent acting, and "fresh" storyline, don't get your hopes up. If you've seen a few action-thriller/sci-fi/horror flicks, you'll be more than able to annoy your sofamates with a score of predictions and forebodings -- most of which will indeed prove true. And the special effects, for all of the director's boasting in the DVD's "Making Of" section, are not without their flaws.

Samuel L. Jackson seems to have been poorly matched with his scripted character; at times I wonder whom screenwriters Kennedy, Powers, and Powers had in mind for the character, and whether a line couldn't have been "tweaked" to allow Jackson's finesse to be better displayed. L.L. Cool J, perhaps handed the light end of the film's burden, shines as the witty, quasi-spiritual, entirely believable "brother" who provides both comedy and sub-plot diversion. (Do check out the deleted scenes in the DVD version; they provide for many of the characters a depth that I miss in the "finished" product.)

Bottom line: Fun? Definitely. A Breakthrough Triumph in Modern Filmmaking? Not quite.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: JAWS except better

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: i REALLY didn't like this...
Review: My mother and i watched this movie last night. From all the reviews, i thought it would be interesting, and a halfway decent action movie. umm...no. the computer effects of the sharks are halfway decent, but the computer-generated people look more like bad video game character characters than people. the characters had almost no depth to them, making me not care whether they lived or died. we watched the deleted scenes at the end of the dvd, and if they had been left in, the characters might have actually had an impact, rather than just be shark food. the director, in his commentary, kept saying that they took things out to keep the pace up. i would rather have learned a little more about the characters. however, i did think ll cool j was very good, and he made it funny.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Please - This Is Rubbish
Review: I am not going to waste much time on writing this - it was in my shopping basket until I was fortunate enough to watch it on a business trip. It was rapidly deleted.

As an action/horror film attempting to go against the likes of Jurrasic Park, Jaws etc. this fails miserably. I will credit it with some sense of suspense, however the effects and storyline are - as always - at odds. For every dollar spent in the 'lab' creating the sharks and blood, a dollar was lost from the realitly and story.

How the magnificent Samuel L. Jackson was signed up to this is a mystery - presumeably it was a favour or a bet/debt?

A definite - 'Don't Bother'.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: JAWassic Park
Review: This film was a lot better than I had expected, and innocent of the accusations of it being a Jaws "wannabe", other than the Sharks there are really very few similarities to Spielberg's classic. In fact comparisons to Jurassic Park are probably closer to the mark, with the basic premise of the two films being fairly similar, i.e. scientists mess with nature, nature then eats scientists.

Deep Blue Sea cannot be faulted in terms of entertainment, it is fast, frantic and stylish; the script isn't bad either. Where it does fall down though is on the quality of acting and the inconsistency of the effects. LL Cool J and Tom Jane both give good performances but the rest of the cast (including the normally faultless Jackson) are nothing special. In terms of the effects i'm probably being a little fussy but the film sets its own standards because some scenes are are really very realistic and will leave you amazed, but in other scenes they are far less impressive and obviously computer generated (this may not be as obvious on vhs as dvd).

Other than those two minor faults which shouldn't ruin your entertainment too much, I can only give the film praise. It is definately worth viewing, and the dvd is one of the best around, especially if your a shark enthusiast like myself as it includes brilliant extras especially a better than average documentary on sharks. The sound and picture quality are also near perfect. It's well worth the money, sink your teeth into it now!

Rating: 4 stars
