    A pretty decent Jaws wannabe. Some OK performances from Samuel L. Jackson & LL Cool J. Overall: An entertaining popcorn horror, nothing special but OK if you don't take it too seriously and enjoy it for what it is.

    You won't be giving it a standing ovation but you will have a jolly good hour and a half of CGI sharks and Samuel L Jackson.

    Very entertaining B-movie. The way the sharks scarf down the cast is gruesomely funny.

    The only flick anybody can compare this too is Jaws, but come on, that movie was made 30 years ago.

    Good for a laugh or two, a scream or three.

    Even overlooking the fundamental inanity of the movie, one is left to contend with some offensive racial stereotyping.

    Not everything in the film happens according to the traditional, overly familiar blueprint.

    Powered by exceptional displays of physical filmmaking, Deep Blue Sea is pulled back to shore by the usual suspects -- weak plotting and weaker dialogue.
