UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Paul Evans It almost pains me to give this movie such a low rating, but it would be criminal to score it any higher, it's not that it isn't watchable, because it is I guess. I've watched it with with friends, and we all laughed the whole way through, the acting is absolutely shocking, I think you can tell the cast are having fun and loving hamming it up, I like John Barrowman very much, but even he is shocking, some of the lines are dire. I'm sure the shark was glad to be blown up at the end, was it me or was the Shark growling?Shark Attack 3 is to Jaws what Scary movie was to Scream, a harmless spoof.1/10
Bezenby Ah, this is a fun one to watch. I'm sure the makers of this film were fully aware of what they were making, but I can say without a doubt I enjoyed this more than Jaws 2, 3 or The Revenge. It's full of action, gore, nudity, stupidity, pearl white teeth, stock footage, one-liners, dubbing, crap effects and is never boring for a minute. It's like the film makers were channelling Bruno Mattei - it's that good! However, if you're one of them 'serious' film fans you might want to steer clear. I don't have a brain, and therefore was mightily impressed by this bundle of nonsense. For some reason, the shark makes noises like a guy in a porn movie.
film_afl I know that "dangerous animals-movies" is a bad genre in general but sometimes everyone involved at least try. Not this time...Not ONE scene in this movie really makes sense, i honestly think this was intended to be a joke. First of all it is basically a porn-movie between the actual porn-scenes, kind of the "foreplay" all the time and all the "actors" look like if they were in that business prior to this movie. Quality-wise it just isn't more skillfully done than that concerning acting and all round atmosphere and setting..But since it is supposed to be something else it just doesn't work, it is your total "turkey"-movie. Already in the first scenes this became rather obvious when the cigar-smoking captain comes in and with the dubbed voice sound like the cartoon figure "Popeye" or something. The museum janitor that sounds like if he is dead drunk (perhaps he was, maybe that made it funnier to participate in this farce...) Then when Ben (Barrowman) is given coffee at the bar in the beginning he is served by one lady in the first angle but in the second it is another lady (you can tell because in the second angle she isn't wearing that white pearl arm brace any longer...) And then when the nude couple are taking a swim (not only that obviously) and the Meg appear to tare the tiger shark into pieces it later lies on the beach without as much as a scratch... Then on to the pot-smoking computer-supervisors or whatever it is...These are just a couple of scenes that no one else seem to have commented on. This movie could be entertaining as comedy indeed but if you think of watching it to be enriched (or scared) in some way, just forget it. If the crew attempted to make horror, too bad for them, this movie is as crappy as they come, i cant even understand who would produce mind-poison like this. Actors who cant find the word "actor" in a dictionary and just want to fool around and use nasty language it seems like. The plot? No, don't even think about it...The scriptwriters must have come up with this in one afternoon at the most. As i said, not one scene is flawless but others have commented enough on most things so i wont do it too. Another strange thing is that in the Shark Attack movies the sharks have also started to sound like an entire lion zoo... Not one character is something else than a complete caricature. Should you give this movie a miss? To quote one character: ABSO-F-CKING-LUTELY!
leavesonline I had the wonderful experience of watching this movie with a scientist who studies sharks. However, watching this movie with anyone would have to result in an evening of hysterical laughter. Nothing about this movie makes sense.There are so many entertaining aspects of this movie it's almost hard to keep track; John Barrowman adds a shamelessly cheesy performance that only serves to highlight how much the female lead isn't trying. I loved that character; not only was she one dimensional but we knew she was a serious scientist because she had a dinosaur book on her desk. There's the nonsensical ex-sailor who pops up for no other reason than to cheer on our plucky heroes with corny slogans like 'it's the Navy way!'. Special recognition has to be given to the slimy bad guys and their unnecessarily complicated back story, especially the one who steals the lifejacket from the pretty young woman. Thankfully he gets his just desserts.Which brings us to the real stars of this marvel; the sharks. It must be a terrible problem for filmmakers; ever since Bruce the plastic shark from Jaws, viewers have come to expect actual sharks in their movies. In this masterpiece, the problem is solved with some photoshopped stock footage. This turns out to be a fantastic solution to problems such as scale; suddenly the shark that could swim through a doorway can also eat a boatload of people in one gulp.The makers of this may not have had high expectations of fame and fortune, but of all the marine biologist fighting giant oceanic predator flicks, this one stands out as a must-see.
