Deep Blue Sea 2 (2018)

[brooks101189]

If you've seen the trailer or even seen the cover art, you pretty much should know what you're in for.

Is it like Sharknado? No, for a movie where the main antagonistic threat is

[Show spoiler]baby sharks the size of piranha

it takes itself too seriously. The Sharknado franchise is primarily a comedy series.

The main character seems to have difficulty zipping up her wetsuit.

Whoo, glad I checked here first. I was going to watch this, but if it's just a remake of the original (never saw), I'll just watch that one instead.

It was ok, nothing special. A couple of kills were good. Effects were ok for a tv movie. A shame it just retread the original for most of it.

Did anyone else notice that at Redbox they have the cast listed from the first movie, not the cast of this film? I was confused for a few seconds when I noticed they have Thomas Jane and Samuel L. Jackson listed...

I've heard that those who have seen the trailer are saying it's pretty much the first film done over again believe that i will just wait until Meg is out instead if i catch this out will be cheap or online for free most likely!.

Just wondering, is this worth a blind buy at the current price? My guess is - probably not. I'm thinking I should wait until the price goes lower than $10.

It depends. I ended up renting it from redbox and thought it was enjoyable enough, however I doubt it will have much replay value, so it was only $0.25 spent (had a coupon). However, if you were going to digitally rent it for $6/7, might be worth the extra couple bucks to just pick it up.

I'm guessing it will go under $10 well within my 45 days to price match at BB. I wouldn't be shocked if it went in under the 30 days standard reward-zone members get. That's part of why I picked it up, them only having 2 and me wanting the slipcover were the other reasons. Had to go get some ink yesterday and the other copy was gone.

Thanks a lot for the info, guys. I generally like to have every film in a series, even if several of them aren't all that great. However, if it is good, I don't mind paying a few extra dollars. So I'll just wait for it to go down in price before picking it up.

I'll be honest, I enjoyed it more than 47 Meters Down.

I watched it this morning. It's not a sequel at all. It's a remake. The plot summary on the back of the case says it's a direct sequel, but it is not connected to Deep Blue Sea in any way whatsoever, except it's shape and form, which mimic the first film in a "take yourself way too seriously" sort of way. There is no 45-seconds of exposition dialogue that connects the two, nor is there any visual reference in the background or any Easter Eggs that subtly link them together. It's a straight-up, beat-for-beat in most sections, remake of the first film and the sharks survive at the end, setting the stage for Deep Blue Sea 3: The Search For More Money. This is the sort of shit I expect from Universal and Lionsgate, who is notorious for doing these sly little sequel/spin-off films that usually have some sort of connection to the original, but this "sequel in name only but really a blatant remake" routine is straight out of Sony's playbook. Why this film was greenlit, I do not know. I honestly don't. Deep Blue Sea had no need of a sequel, but it sure as shit deserves a nice UHD-BD release with HDR for those disaster scenes.

It's so... so bad. The main actress has her boobs pushed up and out the majority of the movie. The camera can't stop angling above her breasts, it's kind of ridiculous. She never seems to fully zip up her wetsuit correctly. Her name is friggin "Misty Calhoun" as if it's some sort of joke. The movie is hilariously bad and the overlay on the scene where the black dude downs some sort of drug is HILARIOUS. I couldn't stop laughing. This isn't even Syfy bad. Syfy movies at least know they're terrible and the employees enjoy making them, and I can honestly just have some fun watching them. This one was just painful to sit through.. I'd rather watch the original again. It's far better.

"Misty Calhoun" sounds more like some sort of cheap-ass porn star than an actual mainstream actress. So - only watch Deep Blue Sea 2 when you want to see some contemporary harlot parading her big, silicone boobs across the screen, check. The first one was good, almost like a new Jaws for the current generation, but like I said I'm not buying this one until I can get it for the bare minimum.

I totally agree. It's embarrassing. Pure trash.

I bought this one just because I like a good shark movie.....to bad it's not a good shark movie the only thing good about DBS2 is Danielle Savre Boobs on display the whole movie.

So I broke down and watched this last night, and I was warned.

Was hoping some of y'all were exaggerating it's badness, but when the opening song played (dear God that was horrible, possibly the worst part of a movie full of bad parts) and I saw the writers credit as "teleplay by", I knew I needed more weed. Throw in one F-bomb and a couple of kills and rate this R? It could've been, and felt like PG-13, for 99% of it!

Couple of decent kills/gore effects, but not much else besides those boobs (which are not silicone FWIW). I had to watch the making of after just to see if they could be real about how cheesy bad it was, but that turned into unintentional comedy as they were talking about it like it was a good movie and they all sounded proud. Really? Darrin Scott saying "if it's sci-fi and horror, I'm there"? I only know you from producing or writing hood movies (I see a couple horror titles on imdb, not too much). The best thing I can say is I didn't turn it off, although the thought crossed my mind when I started calling out the next lines. It took 3 people to write this shit? My 3 year old son could probably do better!

I won't even start with cheap looks of the sets, but comparing them to the first film all I could think was this underwater crew was slumming like a mother****er! The kitchen looked like an apartment with a stove older than the one in my last apartment! Or the editing. One second 2 people are about to shit themselves as shark comes at them, then all the sudden: "jump scare": and they are standing there with flare guns in a Barney Bad-ass stance? Why so serious? Why is none of that cleared up by the worthless deleted scenes? What was different in the death scene in the deleted section?

All that said, I'm a sucker for shark movies and boobs so I will probably keep it. We'll see if it ever gets another spin, it might just look pretty on the rack (movie rack, not another boob joke). Had this played not so serious it might've been a lot more fun, but like they kept saying in the making of, they went for straight horror. They failed!

[Show spoiler]But weren't the baby sharks cute?

Darin Scott, if you're reading: I hope in your heart you know this was shit, and pray you bring the goods to Tales from the Hood 2! My enthusiasm for that flick just dropped by about half man. Please don't **** it up like this one!
