Great pleasure movie
This is a "bad" movie and by bad I mean absolutely amazing and fun. Goes great with pizza, turn your brain off, and enjoy the ride. The CG is dated, but what they use CG for is amazing. Also, there's a ton of animatronic work and those scenes looked great. Overall, just a fun time.

Absolutely Terrifying!
Spent a lot of time jumping out of my skin and screaming. Wonderful. I read that the movie got low ratings because it was character-driven, not constant shark attacks. I guess some people don't care about a good plot with great characters and actors. My favorite was L.L. Cool J, who played a delightful hero.

Good movie!
A fun monster/horror flick. Good cast (LL Cool J was great even though he had a relatively small role). Interesting premise.

Amazing
One of the best movies I’ve ever seen in my life. The way this shark ends these peoples lives. Cinematic beauty. Plus LL Cool J is perfection. 10/10

Sneaky, savage, synthetically-smartened, supersized sharks stalk salty sealab scientists.
BOTTOM LINE: For dumb scary fun, DEEP BLUE SEA is a pretty good popcorn flick. Head & shoulders above the tidal wave of giant killer shark movies you'll find floating around video stores and thru online retailers. But don't get soaked. Buy it used for cheap and be happy. 4 STARSTHE STORY (contains spoilers): Eggheads working at a refurbished WWII submarine refueling base on the Pacific ocean are trying to synthesize a drug that combats the debilitating effects of Alzheimer's, using fluid from the genetically-enlarged brains of three Mako sharks. After spending many months & piles of cash, they're close but have no concrete results. The entrepreneur backing them gives the crew just 48 hours to produce viable results or else he'll shut them down and write off the project. At the proverbial 11th hour the scientists surprise even themselves, creating a protein from the shark brain fluid that seems to reactivate Alzheimer's damaged brain cells ...but their success & celebration is incredibly short-lived when a powerful tropical storm hits the sea base. The three huge, abnormally-intelligent test sharks take advantage of the opportunity and orchestrate a fiendishly clever plan to trick the scientists into unwittingly releasing these mutant apex predators back into the Deep Blue Sea. Trapped out in the middle of the ocean, with no way escape or call for help, the heavily damaged complex inexorably sinking around them and three huge, highly intelligent sharks looking for a quick snack before heading out to sea, what will this handful of very smart but also very weary and very scared people do? Who will survive?THOUGHTS: This is another of those silly yet fun nature-on-the-loose movies in the tradition of ANACONDA & LAKE PLACID where you just put your thinker in neutral and enjoy the mindless mayhem. You'll have to suspend your disbelief, because the F/X in DEEP BLUE SEA are quite dated since this was filmed during the adolescent days of CGI. Many shots are pretty cringe-worthy now, but no more so than stop-motion effects were way back in the day, I suppose. Just use your imagination and go with it. Thankfully, the full-size animatronic sharks kick things up a notch, as they are very cool and believably realistic. Most of the acting ensemble (among them a woodenly macho Thomas Jane, amiable Michael Rapaport, L.L. Cool J, and soon-to-be Thor's pal, Stellan Skarsgård) seems to be having a good time, delivering silly dialogue that's cornier than a silo full of Jiffy Pop, (but that usually goes hat-in-hand with this kind of film). Samuel L. Jackson is the most polished member of the cast, and gets what has to be one of the greatest death scenes ever put on film. (Certainly one of the most memorably shocking!) Director Renny (DIE HARD 2) Harlin engineers the entire movie like one, long cinematic spookhouse funride. And it works for the most part.THE BLU-RAY: Nothing to exactly cheer about, the Blu-ray for DEEP BLUE SEA is a decent if unspectacular affair. Good sharp picture and a solid level soundmix help make this a worthy purchase if you have a Blu player but don't yet own the film. If you've got the DVD then I cannot fully recommend a double-dip. The bonus features have merely been ported over from the DVD; (audio commentary with Renny Harlin & Samuel L. Jackson, 2 mini-featurettes, deleted scenes & the theatrical trailer).

Praise Sherman
It’s always a great sign when a shark takes down a helicopter in the first 20 minutes!A lot of shark movies lose steam partway through but this one just kept getting momentum because Sherman kept being on screen and having lines!Our enjoyment of this film was based largely around two factors:How likely Susan was to dieHow likely Sherman was to liveSherman is maybe the best character we’ve had in a movie since Fin Shepherd himself.Therefore this is a great and perfect movie. We had a lot of fun chanting for Susan’s blood and screaming about how flimsy this entire lab was considering they built super sharks that can throw a dude hard enough through water to just shatter the glass? Like that seems like a major oversight.Samuel L Jackson is in this and he dies unceremoniously in the middle of a sentence in his built up avalanche-related backstory and it is GLORIOUS.However, the credit song we have decided is a spiritual predecessor to the Ballad of Sharknado and therefore redeems any remaining flaws this movie has.
