Movie The Shallows Reviews
“What was once in the deep is now in the shallows” and what they should do is throw this movie back into the deep and watch it drown. I love Blake Lively don’t get me wrong but this movie was exactly what I expected it to be, a chick stuck on a rock the entire time while a shark tries to eat her. No surprise there. While there were some suspenseful moments in the last 27 minutes, the first hour was quite slow. I mean how many times can they show the same exact screen shot of her in a bikini floating in the water? That doesn’t make the quality of the movie any better. I never want to see this movie be compared to Jaws there is no comparison. I walked into the movie theater expecting to see a realistic shark movie which would be better than some three-headed shark Syfy film. I guess no one can make a decent shark movie anymore. I should just stick to Sharknados at least those films have more action. I swear to God the only thing that saved this movie was Steven the seagull and what happens to the shark at the end. I just really wish they gave the shark more screen time instead of staring at Blake Lively’s character shivering on a rock the whole time. They had a very weak plot in this movie, I mean there isn’t much you can do with a shark movie but I think they could have tried a little harder than just a girl stuck on a rock trying survive. I gave this movie 5 out of 10 Stars. Enjoyable but not compelling enough.
