MY REVIEW

This was a good shark movie that could have been better. I wanted to see more carnage. It's as if they made the over size shark to friendly. There where parts that you could not relate to how big the shark was suppose to be. The acting was good but script writing made the story weak.

I seen this in 3D because I was excited for the movie, I am not sure if it was worth the extra money. While some scenes where intense and awesome, it built up to a let down. I will still buy the Blue Ray because it's not a bad movie, But the trailer built you up for something that was not there.

Its not really a family movie, but I believe it could be a fun ride for the family depending on your standards

IMDB  Summary

MY REVIEW

This movie started out very slow, I was ready to turn NETFLIX off, then things got better slowly. Then in another few mins I was hooked. I wanted to see more people get eaten by the sharks and I was disappointed leading up to the end. But it did fit the story line. It was a good shark movie but over all a bit to slow for me but enough to keep me hanging on. The disappointments had nothing to do with the acting, all my dislikes came from the directing and writing. However saying that, this would still be a good movie to add to my shark collection of Blue Rays from a discount shelf. But I would buy it.
