Saw it on telly last night, hadn't seen it before. Tried to be Jaws, but didn't manage it.

It was ok, nothing special. Special effects are bloody awful, I think FM could do better with a copy of paint. It blatantly left itself open for a sequel, suprised they haven't released one yet, to be honest.

It was ok for a couple of hours of entertainment, nothing too special. Jaws was scary, this wasn't. This had a couple of jumpy moments in, and that was it.
It wasn't completely cliched, as the woman died and the "hard bloke" made it.

They did, I've got the 'making of' documentary with the DVD. They used 3 types: animatronic, fully digitised and real sharks.

Spot the real ones.

Yeah harpooning it with the long pointy bit at the front and the actor who shot the shark was very wooden in DBS. Therefore I stand by my statement.

My nautical terms are lacking though.

I thought that it paid homage to Jaws in the sequence of deaths of the sharks: blown up, electrocuted, blown up, harpooned. Just like the 4 films....

It certainly had the surprise factor but that scene was stupid

How did the shark manage to do it?

" I think I'll just jump out the hole in water in the hope a famous actor will be there "

As MWA said, it was really funny at the end. Good old fashioned laugh when the woman who just helped save them got munched

It was crap

It was crap but it was watchable crap.

The bit where Samuel L Jackson died was hella funny.

I thought it was OK. Sure it'll never be Jaws, but it was quite an entertaining and action-packed couple of hours despite all the cliches.

I liked the way they never spoke about the Woman after she helped them and was eaten whole.
