It certainly isn't Jaws or Academy Awards material but lots of action & gore. Too unrealistic & campy to be scary but a fun albeit somewhat obvious ride. So I'd give it a 3* versus only a 2* that others of like mind suggest.
The only summer movie worth standing in line for!
One of the year's ten best.
AWESOME! I'll definitely be seeing it a few more times at the theater!
The one CGI movie that delivered this summer!
The smartest movie of the summer.
I really hope they remember this movie at Oscar time.
Gripping and absolutely thrilling! Relentlessly terrifying and the best shark movie ever made!
It's ok; go in with realistic expectations and you'll have a good enough time.
It's AWESOME -- the BEST horror movie I've ever seen.
