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!
