For those who enjoyed Shark Attack 3


Is this movie similar to the "comedy" of Shark Attack 3? Or is this really just a pretty horrible movie?

reply

This movie is not even in the same league as Shark Attack 3! This movie tried to at least take itself seriously, which was a really bad move.

SA: 3 is just pure comedy where many of the best parts happen when the Shark(s) aren't even on screen.

Great Whites must have a great theatrical agent. The cinema industry seems never to have heard of bull-sharks, tigers or any other for that matter.

Apart from the natural distribution of GW's and their predeliction for seals and such-like, I doubt any self-repecting one would willingly inhabit the effluent-laced waterways of Venice (which are rare on seal-life or even human surfers), when the waters off the beaches of Crete, the Cote-d'Azur, the Costa del Sol and many more tourist spots would be more to their liking (if you believe in GW's preferring human meat).

If Peter Benchley had only based his infamous 70's tale on rogue dolphins (which does happen to be disturbingly true according to Discovery channel), then today we would be fed a diet of ferocious "Flippers".

If it must be sharks, then at least give them freakin' laser beams on their heads !

The operative word here is "willingly".

The sharks in this film were put into the canals intentionally.
