  • An Underwater World Comes to Life in Shark Tale

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 9, 2004
    Pros: Great animation and voice talent.
    Cons: One character annoyed me a little. Something was missing.

    Summary: When I was growing up, there really weren’t that many animated movies being made. Disney was the only studio that regularly released animated movies. One made by another studio would turn up every once in a while, but it wasn’t that often. It ... read more

  • Fun for the kids

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 13, 2008
    Pros: A fun family movie.
    Cons: None really. Just more for kids.

    Summary: Shark Tale is a Dream Works movie. There aren't many Dream Works movies that I like Besides Shrek. We saw Shark Tale because we have kids and of course we like Will Smith. The movie starts with Oscar, (Will Smith) a green and yellow fish that works ... read more

  • Like Finding Nemo for Adults

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 24, 2008
    Pros: Excellent voice casting, great music, decent plot.
    Cons: Graphics OK but not "WOW"

    Summary: This movie definitely stole some ideas and concepts from Disney/ Pixar's Finding Nemo, but the story and implementation were definitely geared for the teenager and adult scene and has a very modern, "pop" culture theme. While Finding Nemo is excellent ... read more

  • Curse you Shark's Tale...

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 22, 2007
    Pros: Great graphics and funny storyline.
    Cons: Don't expect it to be a classic like Toy Story or Shrek.

    Summary: Forgive me if this review is a little dry, but it will fit clearly the epitome and the mood A Shark's Tale. We start with a series of coral reefs that are closely shaped like Times Square. And that's only the start of the real-cartoonish nature of ... read more

  • A Nobody who finds out he is a Somebody!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 10, 2007
    Pros: All da fishes in da sea!
    Cons: Absolutely none!

    Summary: This film was originally released February 08, 2005, by Universal Studios Home Video both in DVD and VHS form. Will Smith is the voice of Oscar, the hustler fish, who is always fast talking his way out of trouble. Oscar owes Mr. Sykes, his boss at ... read more

  • Shark Tale: Sole man

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 31, 2006
    Pros: Some funny moments
    Cons: Same old Will Smith shtick

    Summary: I thought I would write another movie review, just for the halibut, so I went trawling at the local library to sea what I could coral. I thought about The Da Vinci Cod, School of Rock Lobster, ... read more

  • This fish ain't too fresh

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 25, 2006
    Pros: Colorful, musical, good animation, good voicework
    Cons: Unclear as to target age-level; Oscar looks eerily too human

    Summary: What do you get if you mix "Love Story" with "The Godfather" and "The Good Earth" and "Little Mermaid" and "Boys in the 'Hood"? You get this mildly amusing, moderately flawed, colorful, predictable movie called "Shark Tale." Oscar (Will Smith) is an ... read more

  • Shark Tale (2005)

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 25, 2005
    Pros: Solid Computer Aided Graphics
    Cons: Failure of substance

    Summary: Will Smith Turns The Ocean into a Ghetto State As an animated film, "Shark Tale" is an average film. It does nothing that makes it stand out or excel, when compared to other CGI created animated films. In fact if anything stands out about it, is ... read more

  • I Don't Care What the Critics Say, I Like Shark Tale!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 4, 2005
    Pros: Makes me laugh, clever humor, great urban setting, interesting voice selections
    Cons: Not really a great pick for a feel-good children's movie

    Summary: I just finished watching Shark Tale for the second time. At this point I had to admit that I really, really like this movie. It has been pretty unpopular with reviewers and parents but there is just something about it that makes me smile through ... read more

  • Shark Tale

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 26, 2005
    Pros: Visually appealing
    Cons: Dull, stale

    Summary: At the suggestion of a reader, I have updated this review with a short plot summary. Re-read it if you've already rated it and if you feel it's warranted, re-rate it. My initial reaction to the preview was: "I saw this when it was called ... read more

  • Dreamworks’ SHARK TALE (2004)...-Frog directing kinky fish, dating outside their species, mob rules

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 13, 2005
    Pros: The cast, the animation, and most especially the blowfish.
    Cons: It’s a mob story about fish. Really. How good could that be?

    Summary: I am a sucker for animated films, I admit it. I appreciate the bright colors , the imaginative artwork, the simple story and the fact that I won’t have to work hard to get it. I like to think the artists that create animated films can expand your ... read more

  • An Underwater Sitcom

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 9, 2005
    Pros: All-star cast; amazing visuals
    Cons: Will Smith, Will Smith, Will Smith and Will Smith

    Summary: It's a fair statement to say that I've seen all of the computer animated films (Toy Story, Toy Story II, Antz, A Bug's Life, Shrek I & II, Finding Nemo etc.) and liked each and every one. Not only do I find computer generated animation the stuff ... read more

  • A Damp Disappointment

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Dec 9, 2004
    Pros: A stunning cast, impressive visuals.
    Cons: An unsatisfying story, poorly chosen lead, caters well to no one audience.

    Summary: Much has been made of the production team behind Shark Tale, Dreamworks (responsible for a number of hits, most notably Shrek). This gave the film a substantial degree of prestige and anticipation in the build-up to its release, but ultimately may have ... read more

  • Shark Tale — An Abyss of Miserable Acting

    Cons: The rest of the movie

    Summary: NOTICE: This movie is being reviewed primarily for its artistic and technical merit. The opinions herein are my own, and are based upon viewing this movie through my 46 year-old man's eyes. In all fairness to the mindset of children, ... read more

    Nov 11, 2004
    Pros: Great for all the family
    Cons: None

    Summary: Release date: - 15 October 2004 Approx. Running Time: - 89 minutes I went to watch this film at the weekend, and after suffering with flu all week it definitely cheered my up! It was a great day out for my daughter, niece and me (although all ... read more

  • A fun but over-hyped movie

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 10, 2004
    Pros: Great supporting cast, a shark that has Deniro's mole.
    Cons: Annoying main character, cheesy love story, poor writing.

    Summary: After seeing the previews for this movie and hearing who was going to be doing the voice acting I knew I had to see it. After seeing it I realized that they had shown only a small section of the movie in the trailer. I was pretty disappointed to say ... read more

  • Are You Kidding?

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 24, 2004
    Pros: Good animation
    Cons: Too many to list. Bad storyline,not funny,etc.

    Summary: This was the first movie my husband and I decided to take our 3 year old son to. He had seen a couple of movies at home so we knew he could sit through a movie no problem. Well the movie theater was definitely full. My son was quite excited. About 10 ... read more

  • No.; Shark Tale

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 23, 2004
    Pros: Missy Elliot's on the soundtrack.
    Cons: She duets with XTina.

    Summary: Shark Tale Directed by Vicky Jenson Voiced by Will Smith, Renee Zellweger, Jack Black, and Angelina Jolie ½* (out of ****) If there’s something to be learned from both Shark Tale and Will Smith’s summer blockbuster I, ... read more

  • It floats, like a dead fish

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 18, 2004
    Pros: Whoa
    Cons: "That's okay. White fish can't do it."

    Summary: **I previously wrote review on this movie, but thanks to whoever and whatever, it never got saved into Epinion and I cannot retrieve it back. Perhaps it is one of the moments when God works in mysterious ways; that is, to stop me from spewing my ... read more

  • Shark Tale! Not A Very Good Movie

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 13, 2004
    Pros: Good animation and acting.
    Cons: Not very funny, un-interesting plot, may not appeal to some kids.

    Summary: Shark Tale is the newest computer animated film from Dreamworks. I never really wanted to see it a lot, but it looked pretty funny and good. I did like Shrek. I ended up not liking it very much, although it wasn't horrible. Shark ... read more

  • Shark Tale - Behind Every Little Fish is a Great White Lie

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 9, 2004
    Pros: amazing cast, some funny parts, the jellyfish, pleasing CGI effects
    Cons: bland at times, lack of apparent target audience, plot may be complicated for little kids

    Summary: The crew at DreamWorks has come up with yet another CGI movie, and once again it became the highest grossing movie during its opening week. This time, the movie isn’t about a green ogre and a fantasy world, on the contrary, it revolves around a fish ... read more
