You don't watch this movie expecting to find high scientific believability and a super deep storyline. You watch it for the jump scares, gore and of course, the giant sharks!

What struck me about the structure of the plot is that the first and second halves seemed almost like two different movies. The first half was rather dark, slow moving and borderline boring. I was afraid it wouldn't hold my attention. But the second half was bright, action-packed, and brimming with cheap thrills and cheesy comedy. I really enjoyed it, and I jumped and handful of times. And seeing it in 3D made it even more jumpier.

Amazing visuals, as everyone has said. I don't understand all the hate on the storyline, it's got all the plot points of a typical blockbuster and no major plot holes. If you're going to spend this kind of money making a movie you'd be wise to cater to the masses as this one does.

As a sensitive person who loves animals and is easily immersed in well-made movies, I was deeply disturbed by the hunting parts, which I guess means it accomplished what it was going for, maybe a little too well. If you needed any more reason to hate on humanity, this will give it to you.

Looking forward to the next instalments of the franchise.

I enjoyed it, but felt I could have waited for it to come to TV.

A few of the most beloved and funniest characters were missing, most notably Gayle. It felt like they concentrated too much on making big thrilling action where I would have preferred to see more character drama, as the characters are what make the show so loveable. They did do some with Louise's character and I enjoyed that.

There were funny parts but very few that made me actually laugh out loud like the TV show does. Seemed like they could have let loose a little more and be more "themselves", rather than trying so hard to be movie-ish, if that makes sense.
