  • LL to the rescue

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 3, 2000
    Pros: LL COOL J
    Cons: The effects were a bit cheesy

    Summary: I have to say this movie was better than I expected. I didn't expect much. The effects were not the worst I have ever seen. The characters were well developed. What I really felt made this movie worth seeing was the action. It was non-stop and I jumped ... read more

    Pros: some special effects, action sequences
    Cons: plot (or lack of), acting, other special effects

    Summary: I went to see this movie in the theater a while back with some friends, on a "just for the heck of it" whim. Just for the heck of it, we should have stayed at home, or at least just thrown away the money we spent on tickets, and at least ... read more

    Pros: [quote, unquote] action packed
    Cons: predictable & no plot

    Summary: This movie has gotten fairly good reviews, and the reason why is beyond me. I've recently rented the movie 'Deep Blue Sea' but found myself extremely disappointed with it. This movie was [quote, unquote] action packed, but none the less extremely ... read more

    Pros: great movie with a lot of great surprises
    Cons: none its all you could expect to get and a little more

    Summary: This is the ultimate of what all the stupid jaws movies should have been like. This movie is about survival. Shark vs. man. Only now the sharks are five times smarter than they use to be. This movie has a lot of great sudden shocks that you would ... read more

  • It does what it intended to do....THRILL

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 1, 2000
    Pros: Realistic Sharks, LL Cool J is good, scary, exciting, funny
    Cons: not well acted, not ingeniously directed, not a great plot

    Summary: Deep Blue Sea is not a great movie. It is not especially well acted, and it is not ingeniously directed. Deep Blue Sea is simply a fun and scary movie to watch. It is violent, funny at times, scary, and a little bit high tech. I understand any criticism ... read more

  • JAW HAS NOTHING ON DEEP BLUE SEA.

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 31, 1999
    Pros: ACTION!, direction, f/x, death scenes,
    Cons: comparisons to Jaws, the parrot dies

    Summary: You can't read a review of Deep Blue Sea without the inevitable comparisons to Jaws, only because Jaws was the first to use sharks as the major catalyst in a major motion picture. I must admit though, Jaws is a classic in anyones book, but comparing it ... read more

  • Deep Blue Sea Isn't So Deep

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 31, 1999
    Pros: Special effects excellent
    Cons: Plot too trite

    Summary: DEEP BLUE SEA left me feeling a little blue and non-fearful of the sea at all. The movie has marvelous special effects. Some moves by the shark almost appeared to jump out of the screen. However, DEEP BLUE SEA is no JAWS. There was no suspense or ... read more

  • Jaws revisited

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 30, 1999
    Pros: a little better than jaws
    Cons: to much like original jaws

    Summary: At first I thought Deep Blue Sea was going to be another typical jaws movie. But after I watch it i think that it is a little better than Jaws. It still has the typical shark that seems to have revenge on everyone, but instead of an animal that was ... read more

  • Deep Blue Sea

    Dec 30, 1999
    Pros: No nude scenes
    Cons: Very predictable. Lame looking Sharks

    Summary: I wanted to see Deep Blue Sea just to see if the movie industry had finally come out with a film that could compare to "Jaws". When the movie critics ripped it to shredds in their reviews, I decided to wait for it to come out on video. Not a ... read more

  • Deep Blue Sea Can't Tread Water

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 29, 1999
    Pros: Very Few
    Cons: Weak plot. Weak Characters. Weak film all together.

    Summary: Although the plot and special effects of this film seemed promising, they simply did not turn out to be what I expected. I had seen the trailer on television, and before viewing other films, and it seemed good enough. I didn't find the time to see it ... read more

  • Deep Blue Sea: Jaws of the Future

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 29, 1999
    Pros: Starring LL Cool J & Samuel L. Jackson with eye catching special effects & a great set design!
    Cons: Plot leaves much to be desired, and the acting is quite predictable...This film was nothing more than a technological upgrade of Jaw I,II,III...you get the point!

    Summary: It started out to be quite an exciting film. Some people are on a boat partying,(sounds familiar?) and all of a sudden there is a pounding on the bottom of the boat. Eventually the shark breaks through the hull of the ship trying to make a meal out of ... read more

  • Deep Blue Sea Sinks Quickly

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 29, 1999
    Pros: Special Effects
    Cons: Terrible Dialogue, Plot, and Believability

    Summary: If you have seen Jaws (any of them), skip this shark film, which, to be honest, is funnier than it is scary or suspenseful. LL Cool J, Samuel L. Jackson star in a movie that tries to dazzle you with special effects and overlooks all plot and dialogue. ... read more

  • A nail biter

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 28, 1999
    Pros: edge of your seater
    Cons: a little hard to believe

    Summary: This movie is sure to appeal to all you LL Cool J fans out there. You have to see it to believe it. The idea of 45 foot long thinking sharks was a little over the top but the nail biting suspense keeps you glued to the set. Not to mention the cute ... read more

  • Just a reminder, don't go into the water

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 28, 1999
    Pros: Done with efficient lighting, not a lot of dark guessing scenes.
    Cons: Kind of slow beginning, so one has to really has to stick with the movie at first

    Summary: This movie caught my interest when it was previewed at the time the movie came out, and HBO ran a "How the Movie Was Made" segment. Yeah, "Jaws" scared the bageebees out of me, and I just wanted to see if this one could size up to ... read more

  • Deep -- wear your waders!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 28, 1999
    Pros: Pretty good special effects
    Cons: Completely unbelievable

    Summary: When I rented this movie I wasn't too excited about watching it to begin with, but I figured the special effects might be worth it and perhaps the plot may be a little new. But, I wasn't surprised to find that it didn't live up to any hopeful ... read more

  • A Big Toothache!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 28, 1999
    Pros: The death of Samuel Jackson
    Cons: The producer, screenplay, director, acting..should I go on?

    Summary: I've seen documentaries about cuttlefish better than this film! I'm sorry to all you sea faring types but this movie was horrible. In the search for a cure for alzheimers disease.. a fairly attractive doctor along with her colleges experiment on ... read more

    Pros: This movie is all good!!
    Cons: Little one my be afraid to sleep afterwards.

    Summary: This is an excellent movie. It's a cut between Jaws and the Titanic. This movie is full of action you will stay in your seat. Everyone is trying to get a look at this excellent movie. In my book its a five star. Hurry out and get it ... read more

    Pros: Great graphics
    Cons: Hard to shoot

    Summary: This was an excellent movie to go see with friends. It was also a very graphic movie. It featured some of the greatest actors of today. LL Cool J gave an explosive performance as did Samuel L. Jackson. This was a sure Box Office Hit. It could be a ... read more

    Pros: L.L. Cool J.
    Cons: not Jaws for sure

    Summary: So there I was, in my teens, and just had to go to the movies every weekend. The only other thing to do was go to the beach.....Thank you, Peter Benchley, for writing "Jaws," and scaring us all to death. So there I was, in my ... read more
