This was ok when it came out in 1999. It's no longer the case.

Shark movies are a guilty pleasure of mine. Unfortunately, most are always trash. There are always exception, and this is one of them. This is the right amounts of good effects, decent story, good gore, unique setting, and some campiness. While the sequels are not good, the original will always have a special place as one of my favorite shark films. Rating: 4/5 - 85% - Would Recommend

I hated this movie when it originally came out and I recently watched this movie again. It is worse than my original review thought of a fair movie

"We will start with the perfect omelette which is made with two eggs not three. Amateurs often add milk for density; this is a mistake." "Deepest bluest my hat is like a shark's fin", I still freaking love that LL Cool J song and him as a chef named Preacher with a swearing parrot is still the best thing about Deep Blue Sea. Anyway I used to watch this one a lot when I got it on dvd when I was a teenager and it damn well still holds up today. It is a fun "B-movie" and the type of movie I miss being made these days. It knows it's cheesy but they still gave it their all. It has a stellar cast, equally smart as deadly sharks, Samuel Jackson giving a speech, a explosive ending, a bit of a little swerve, a great underwater facility and loads of fun. Deep Blue Sea won't be a wasted 100 minutes if you decide to watch it. You'll be entertained and that is exactly what a movie like this is suppose to do.

Just your standard, run-of-the-mill “abnormally intelligent sharks attacking a science float during a hurricane” story. Early on, we get a little plot filler about how the dorsal-finned apex predators have a special syrup in their brains that can cure Alzheimer's and that’s why man has bred a More

There's quite a cast assembled for _Deep Blue Sea_, not what we've come to expect from the Asuylum-soiled genre of shark movies in this day and age. It's not a fantastic movie, but it proves more watchable that 90% of its company.

_Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t q More

**Peak corny shark goodness!** 🦈🦈🦈

Deep Blue Sea falls prey to every shark movie trope and has a blast doing it. Embracing its cheesiness makes this movie one is the all-time best shark flicks—a fabulous cocktail of 90s cheese, sharks, and surprising twists. If you haven’t seen this More

Great watch, would watch again, and do recommend.

This is probably my favorite shark movie. I know "Jaws" did a thing back when, but I like this better. It doesn't mean it's a better movie, the same way that more people like pizza than salad even though salad is a better food.
