The whale wasn't going anywhere. The girl was on the other hand still alive, and even better, she was fresh meat. The shark could thus have both.

Giving a film like this a 4.5/5 or 5/5 is over hyping it and building up a false expectation and yes I would consider if someone gives it a score like that they consider it a masterpiece. You've given it a perfect/near perfect score, you don't leave yourself much room when something that is a genuine masterpiece comes along.

A lot of the reactions on this site are so hyperbolic at times (in either direction) and are based on the personal experience of viewing a film and not of the film itself, that it does build up unreasonable expectation in people who obviously then get disappointed when something isn't as amazing as these hysterics says it is.

Then when someone has the gaul to disagree they get screamed at or made look stupid for not going ape shit over a film that is essentially a perve-fest of a semi attractive womans private parts while waiting patiently for her to be eaten by a shark.

As far as 'not liking' the film, it was disappointing after all the hysterical hype, but I would still give it a 3/5 which for me is what it would consider a decent mark for a 'good' film. Its a very run of the mill thriller which looks nice because of its location, but if you don't get the added 'boner' thrill of wanting to perve on Deadpools near naked wife for 90 minutes, you are probably missing half the fun I guess.

Wow.

"Perve on Deadpool's near naked wife?" Really?

Plus, he's Mr. Lively, just so we're clear.

Blake Lively is awesome in The Town. Rebecca Hall is great in it too.

Lively is also fantastic in Age of Adaline.
