Pros: special effects, Saffron Burrows gets naked (nearly)
Cons: everything else
Summary: Samuel Jackson has made some really great movies in his career. Unfortunately, this wasn't one of them. In fact, it's one of those roles that makes me question if he might have some sort of brain tumor that from time to time makes him pick roles ... read more

Pros: Suspenseful, great visuals, not too expensive, and is great to watch with friends.
Cons: Movie takes place out in the middle of no where. Is about science and research.
Summary: This movie was absolutely amazing. It made my jaw drop. The suspense with a little comedy with the bird was great. The visual images especially with the arm was stunning. I kept saying "Oh no! Get out of there! Are you crazy!?" It may not be one of the ... read more

Pros: Samuel L Jackson, LL Cool J, the sharks
Cons: Saffron Burrows, the plain idioticness of it all.
Summary: Jaws, 1975, the original film that made it scary to go in the water and made sharks look like menacing monsters. My birth, 1985 – 10 years later. I missed Jaws when it first released, on the account of not being born and all. However, ... read more

Pros: soundtrack, couple others...
Cons: too many to name...
Summary: A lot of people will probably think that Deep Blue Sea is a cheap rip off of similar movies like Shark Attack and Jaws, but it isn’t—as a majority. Although a lot of the movie is predictable and are major clichés from the two movies previously ... read more

Pros: Ideal slam bang action and thrills fit for a Friday night....
Cons: Nothing here for the more cerebral among us...and more than a little shallow.
Summary: DBS is a white knuckle ride of a movie, set on an under water research facility. Packed with over the top stunts and nail baiting action, DBS is the perfect movie for a rainy Friday night in with friends.
DBS is essentially a B-movie thrill ... read more

Pros: Giant sharks eat people alive.
Easy watching. Something for the kids.
Cons: Boring plot.
Hardly 'Jaws with attitude'.
Summary: Whopping great sharks with oversized brains taking sizeable chunks out of a bunch of stroppy, eclectic, overfamiliar character types desperately searching for the surface of the fragmenting frame of a deep sea research centre. We were never going to be ... read more

Pros: Some decent shark scenes. Mostly unpredictable. Gory.
Cons: Directors in need of a Physics lesson!
Some predictable action. Too much graphics orientated.
Summary: This movie has some very exiting moments. Although some are rather predictable. The realism in this movie is awful. For example, the survivors are in a huge underwater room with a shark pool in the bottom, they open the door to get out, 5 seconds later ... read more

Pros: Very exciting, thrilling, a must see movie for those who like action.
Cons: Very scary

Cons: Rip off of Jaws and Jurassic Park, Inaccurate details
Summary: Overall I was pretty pleased with this movie. The action is pretty good throughout. The acting was decent for a cast of not so well known actors. Samuel L. Jackson is an excellent character until his death, which I thought was a bit premature. LL Cool J ... read more

Pros: Decent tunes by LL Cool J, seeing a good number of the actors getting eaten
Cons: Plot and script!
Summary: Well, I've had the pleasure to sit through nearly two hours of what I consider to be a near-insult to films. Quite how an actor with the reputation of Samuel L. Jackson got involved in this, I can't imagine, but anyway - on with the opinion.

Pros: Somewhat funny, not really scary
