Fancy 3D graphics and lots of big well paid stars doesn't gurantee Dreamworks a winner. Their latest CGI movie is Shark Tale, yes another under water film. I know people say not to compare it with Finding Nemo (like the whole Antz/A Bug's Life thing) but it's hard not to. Starring Will Smith, Robert De Niro, Renée Zellweger, Jack Black, Angelina Jolie and Martin Scorsese to name a few, Dreamworks were probably pinning their hopes for yet another big winner like Shrek and Shrek 2, unfortunately not this time.
You can see trailers for it here [URL]http://www.sharktale.com/[/URL]
It currently has 4.8/10 on the Internet Moview Database, making it the worst 3D movie ever made by Pixar and Dreamworks (the lowest of which I think is Antz at 7.0/10) Okay there's only 100 odd votes but still :)
Rotten Tomatoes has Shark Tales at 33/100% with 88 critic reviews from newspapers/sites/etc with a current rating of 5.1/10 which I suppose isn't too bad, about average. You can read a lot of the reviews on the site [URL]http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/shark_tale/[/URL]
Speaking for myself, I haven't seen the movie yet, I wasn't impressed by the trailers. I'll give the movie a try, won't see it at the cinema and I'm not sure many will. Dreamworks have a lot to learn. The Pixar philosophy as mentioned by John Lasseter is that "THE STORY IS KING" and it seems the lack of a decent one has cost Dreamworks a winner.
I was hoping to find a good review I saw that pretty much said everything about the movie. I'm still looking for it now, I'll post it later.

I really can't say that I'm fond of the human-esque look to the fish.
The Incredibles does look pretty good, but I tend to take CG movies with a pinch of salt these days, as they're always being churned out with the same lame-ass storyline and some of them tend to be crap/overrated.
Toy Story is still the best, in my opinion.

The Incredibles looks awesome though.
And I thought Disney made Finding Nemo.
And Dreamwoprks was a Universal Studio.

The trailers don't interest me at all which isn't a good sign. I think I'll see it and give it a chance but I'm not expecting much.
Just looks like a carbon copy of the incredibly overrated Finding Nemo. Nice cast, though.

i'm pretty sure Pixar had nothing to do with "Sharks Tale" as they were making "Finding Nemo" and "the incredibles" at the time.
infact i'm certain this is just the Dreamworks "reply" to Nemo, the same as Bugz/Ants Life were.

Could be a lot of red faces at Dreamworks.
This is the movie to celebrate their 10th anniversary, and I believe one of the top guys is really out to rub Disney's nose in it as he used to work for them.
