I love just about everything Dreamworks has done… but let’s all admit it… we all had a sinking (get it? SINKING!!! Oh forget it) feeling about this movie from the first moment we saw the trailers. Shark Tale has looked like a blatant attempt to rip off and capitalize on the success of Finding Nemo that appears to rely on cool hip-hop cultural references to be funny instead of really good material. I have never thought this movie looked good, and now those who have already seen it are only solidifying that fear. Here’s what’s being said:
“If your kid sees the comic side of mafia vengeance killing, the whole family will have a great time”
— Willie Waffle, WAFFLEMOVIES.COM“By this time next year Shark Tale will be on a sale rack at Wal-Mart for $5.99, probably as part of a bargain double-pack with Ice Age.”
— Joshua Tyler, CINEMABLEND.COM“Oddly lacking a heart. In its place is misguided material decidedly unsavory for most of its target audience, and a string of inappropriate ethnic and racial stereotypes.”
— Dustin Putman, THEMOVIEBOY.COM“A soulless platform for the Will Smith persona.”
— Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL
Oh well.. who cares. The Incredibles are almost here!
Ummm… James, how exactly am I “bias”? I haven’t even seen the movie yet? I have no opinion about it one way or the other. The majority of the reviews on it are negative… so i’m just showing you what’s being said about it.
wow is this a bias website or what all bad reviews on shark tale im sure its better than a sharp stick in the eye
My kids won’t be seeing this film, and neither will I.
