Yawn
My girlfriend is a huge fan of Blake Lively, so she talked me into sitting watching this one. It's not an awful movie, there are small glimmers of a good shark attack movie in here, they are just so few and far between. The back story is a total waste of time and the first 30 minutes of the movie are extremely boring until the shark actually shows up. Then there are some cool shark kills, then the movie slows right down again up until the final showdown between Blake Lively and the shark, the climax of which isn't worth all of the boring exposition and build up.
You could spend and hour and a half of your time on something much better than this, but it's not total trash either, just pretty forgettable overall.

Loved it!
My sister took me to the cinema to see this after we had been waiting for it to be released.. we finally got to see it!
It was brilliant! I had seen the trailer and thought it would be a good film but didn't realise quite how good it would be! It's really funny in places too!
Loved it.
