Pros: Some cool action sequences.
Cons: A very high death toll
Summary: I saw this movie because it had an interesting plot, genetically enhanced sharks try to kill crew. And over all I feel this was a good movie. What I liked about it was the few suspenseful moments that make you want to cover your eyes. What I did not like ... read more

Pros: Makes you want to see Jaws again for a "cleansing"
Cons: The list goes on and on
Summary: I can imagine the development meeting for Deep Blue Sea right now:
Writer: "We take two of the biggest films Spielberg did and put them into ONE film!"
Producer: "Jurassic Park meets Jaws, huh?" ... read more

Pros: Almost everyone gets eaten alive.
Cons: Some of them survive.
Summary: Why is it that just because a movie has sharks eating people it has to be considered a rip-off of Jaws? (Is Psycho just like Porky's because they both have great shower scenes?) A movie like Deep Blue Sea seemingly had strikes against it all through its ... read more

Pros: Animatronic sharks, LL COOL J
Cons: Script and dialogue
Summary: Okay...it wasn't "JAWS". I felt this movie was to "JAWS"/"ALIEN"-like movies what "SCREAM" was to slasher films.
"DEEP BLUE SEA" isn't a "classic". It's a big dumb summer movie that ... read more

Pros: None really
Cons: Plot, characters, special effects, disregard for science facts
Summary: I would rather be slowly eaten by a shark than be forced to watch this terrible Jaws knock-off again! Because this is so bad on so many levels I'm going to break this review down into these sections; plot, characters, special effects, and science facts. ... read more

Pros: Convincing Sharks
Cons: Relies too much on graphics, and a little predictable
Summary: The premise of this film is quite exciting, the successor to the classic 'Jaws', I thought I really was in for a treat. The reality however was very different.
What we have here is a mediocre attempt at an action movie, filled with many ... read more

Pros: good, fast moving movie
Cons: some huge plot holes
Summary: Deep Blue Sea is trying really hard to be Jaws. There's a bunch of little references to Jaws (I'll get to those later). But there can be only one Jaws.
This is all not to say that I didn't like this movie. I did, I ... read more

Pros: Photography is good, manage suspense despite predictability.
Cons: Not very believable, predictable plot.
Summary: Now, I can (and do) the "suspending reality" bit real well, because I just like to be entertained. But, this movie made me do a couple of "Oh, yeah right! Like that’s going to happen!". But, after reminding myself several times ... read more

Pros: You'll jump, scream, and yell until the end of the movie! Sharks and lots of water. Samuel L. Jackson is in it.
Cons: A bit gory.
Summary: Ever been to the deep blue sea? With sharks galore and the ocean surrounding you? I have. It was just last night. Or should I say it came to me. We bought the movie Deep Blue Sea last night and watched every minute of it.

Pros: Great special effects/ excellent cast
Cons: several "unbelievable" scenes
Summary: Deep Blue Sea is one of those movies that deals with peoples phobias about sharks and water. I saw this movie because most shark films are great hits, (just ask Steven Spielberg) and they attract great numbers to the box office. Their is just something ... read more

Pros: Saffron Burrows in scanty clothing
Cons: established actors are so much shark meat
Summary: Remember the old song about being caught between the devil and the deep blue sea? Renny Harlin, the director of Deep Blue Sea, certainly has the devil to pay for it.

Pros: Good idea
Cons: Poor acting, too predictable
Summary: This movie was one of those, "Well, let's see what it's all about". It supposed to be a horror flick with an intelligent twist.
These sharks are supposed to have been altered, not genetically, to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease. ... read more

Pros: There's some tension and more than a few shocking moments.
Cons: However, the whole story line is so preposterous, you really need to turn your brain off if you have any hope of enjoying it. Even then, the tension might quickly turn to boredom as you watch scene after scene of people rushing in a panic ahead of a wall o
