![]() ![]() Then there's the one liners in this movie, again kind of falling in line with the so bad that it's good thing, a good reference point would be the terrible one liners from late 80's/90's action movies that we still for whatever reason unabashedly love, this movie has one liners that are bad, but not like we can laugh at them bad, more like my whole body is cringing bad. The acting in general is bad, but it's not like that so bad that it's good kind of bad, if you're a big Horror fan like I am, you know exactly what I mean, if you're not, trust me such a thing exists, but it however does not exist in this movie. ![]() Now I will give this mixed point if you will, part of me appreciated that they took some time to try to show some comradery between the characters and a bit of exposition even before the carnage starts, but on the other hand we don't have anywhere near the caliber of actors to not bore you to tears before the carnage ensues, this is where being self aware is very crucial and this is what is mostly missing from this movie if I had to say one thing.Īs far as characters I liked LITERALLY nobody, I noticed the girl from Texas Chainsaw 3D instantly, but I might have disliked her character in this even more than I did in 3D and I didn't think that was possible going in, nothing about her felt like I could root for her, they did give her the cliche "we're the evil ones not the Sharks!" Routine, but instead of being like oh! What a caring individual! We begin to roll our eyes, like we get it! You love sharks! We are so invested in your character now! Thanks! The rest of the cast was one big bleh moment, they also had this guy in it that looked like the great value brand version of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and he fit every stereotype known to man, so much so that I announced something about his character that would undoubtedly happen that I should have no right in knowing and when it happened I literally laughed out loud. ![]() In my initial positive I said "a movie that SHOULDN'T aim to take itself too seriously" well, I say "shouldn't" cause there is just not enough fun going on here, the movie can't seem to decide whether it wants to play itself serious or not take itself too serious like it probably should, so in the end we end up with a muddled disjointed feeling movie that I can't imagine pleases anybody, pick a side, cause chances are if you're trying to appease everyone you end up pleasing nobody. The underwater scenes are shot well enough, they give off a very dark and gloomy atmosphere that in any other movie would probably prove to build a lot of suspense, not being able to see what's literally 5 feet out in front of you as you gander out into an endless abyss is all apart of what makes Sharks so scary in the first place, the threat of not knowing your surroundings and that anything can pop out anywhere at anytime is a really scary dynamic about the ocean and they encapsulated that well enough in the underwater scenes.Īnddddddd, that's about it! If you noticed even the two positives have flaws, in the last positive I used the statement "in any other movie would probably prove to build a lot of suspense" cause as good as the underwater shots by themselves look at times they LITERALLY do nothing with it. ![]()
