Summary: Deep Blue Sea
Review: Fairly entertaining but a poor Jaws wanna be. The sharks did not seem real and too many characters died. LL Cool J did the best job of acting and turned out to be the only character I really cared about.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, but not great
Review: I haven't seen any of the Jaws movies (pitty me) but I have a feeling they were a lot better. "Deep Blue Sea" was a very entertaining movie in all its worth. You didn't know who was going to get ripped apart next. At the beginning you would think Samuel L. Jacksons character, Russell Franklin and Saffron Burrows character Dr. whatever her name is are the ones that are going to survive. Not necessarily, as the movie goes on you can tell that whoever you guessed was going to be alive probably isn't going to survive these sharks.

The plot I think is pretty solid. Two scientists at the underwater laboratory Acquaticus are trying to develop a cure for Alzheimers bye using the brain of sharks. But to get all the proteins they need they needed to enlarge the sharks brain and as a side affect the sharks got smarter, a lot smarter. Then a tropical storm leaves the scientists and their visitors in complete and total darkness, plus they are the mouse in a terrible cat and mouse game.

The acting isn't that great but I can say the special effects are very good. You can't tell the sharks aren't real and everytime someone gets ripped to pieces you shiver.

I think that this movie was a little much on special effects and it could have had a couple of more scenes with actual meaningful dialogue but seeing people get ripped to shreads is completly enetertaining. Trevor Rabin wrote the musical score and it is completely convincing to help you along in the movie, plus LL COOL J, Thomas Jane, Stellan Skarsgard, and the others, I think did a job well done acting. It must be pretty tough acting with things that aren't real and I commend them for that.

But, because of the not Academy Award acting and not enough meaningful scenes this movie does not get 5 stars in my book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One extra star just because it was so funny...
Review: Am I the only one that fell out of my seat laughing at the endof Sam L's pep talk? There were some good laughs throughout,especially LL Cool J's brilliant comic-relief character, but a lot of the laughs also come from the sheer absurdity of it all: the standard chase scenes, the woman who has to end up in her underwear at some point, the usual game of guess-who-gets-eaten-next. The special effects are extremely well-done and the sharks are very convincing. It's a good movie if you want action and suspense (as long as you don't expect an Oscar-winning drama out of it), and it's also great for ripping to shreds with some friends a la Mystery Science Theater. Personally, I laughed till I cried.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: When Sharks Attack
Review: This movie is a great way to spend a couple of hours scaring yourself.Sam Jacksons narration alone is worth the cost of this DVD.Funny stuff.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: as good as jaws but in a different way
Review: I thought that Jaws was a great movie as I kind of liked that big old fish. This movies only drawback is with 3 starring attractions, none of the sharks get to develop a personality for the movie goer. They are only sharks one, two, and three. Still, watching the sharks go after the scientists that imprisoned them was kind of fun, and the "gore and blood" scenes are so obviously computer generated that they did not disgust me. Highly recommended for when you have friends over.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Movie Kicks Jaws in the Gullet
Review: NEVER, EVER have i jumped so much in a film. From start to finnish this kepps you on the edge of your seat. Everyone who you would put money on surviving dies! I was particularly suprised to see Samuel Jackson bite the dust so early in the film as he was the only famous actor. If you were disappointed with films like Scream because you weren't scared, I guarantee this will give you night mares for a good few days. AMAZING!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Shark-tastic !
Review: Deep Blue Sea is a sound movie and has some really well thought out shark scenes, especially the scene where the shark propels one of the scientists body into the window of the lab, this is my favorite scene in the movie. Some of the C.G left a lot to be desired especially when Samuel L bites the dust. I liked the commentary on the DVD as Samuel L is really funny in it. As I`m a bit of a gore lover I loved some of the scenes when peoples arms and bodies were being torn to shreds. The movie was a good watch and well worth buying the DVD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's good for night in!
Review: Hey, if you love the Jaws films this is five star winner! I brought it before seeing the movie. It's one of those films you can either get really stuck into and scare yourself stupid, or sit there and just rip it to pieces with your mates - both equally entertaining! Enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME MOVIE!
Review: This is an awesome movie! The fun of it is to watch it on DVD only! It sounds really good. I like the WHOLE movie, from start to finish. It was very gripping and exciting and it leaves you feeling like you will never expect what will happen next. Because, you probably wont. This movie is full of surprises that will definetly wake you up. The sharks look fake, though, as well as the blood and guts from the people. And another great thing about this movie is that if you are easily afraid of horror, this wont scare you. If you afraid of sharks, you will never recover. The sharks where SO smart that even something that you cant expect from a shark probably could happen. This movie is fun to watch all the stupid scientists make HORRIBLE mistakes. They will pay... THIS MOVIE ROCKED!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What if Jaws went to college
Review: When I saw the trailer for this movie I first thought, not forme. Then one day in the video store there was nothing in except forDeep Blue Sea. So I said what the hell. To my suprise the movie was pretty darn good. The story is completely different from Jaws, special effects were tight, sound FX smooth. Best of all the people who survive the calacalysmic night are the ones who deserved it. The DVD is complete with a documentary, deleted scenes and great sound and picture. A good addition to horror collections. END
