I was expecting the worst when I put this on, but I was impressed with the outcome. It was better than this year's <i>Deep Sea</i> and maybe a little more fun but not as terrifying as <i>Open Water</i>. Great chemistry among the characters and a somewhat decent story, but the gore factor was lacking. Big time.
<b>Final thoughts:</b>
Many dumb decisions were made, such as driving a boat out into the middle of the ocean, resulting in senseless deaths. Next time, rent out a Chuck E. Cheese or do a bar crawl around New York City. It'll save you money... and lives.

Interesting concept. A bit of a slow burn, so you don't realize you've gotten sucked in until the momentum starts to pick up a bit. Tim Meadows and Michael Cera were exciting surprises. It could have ended maybe 10-15 minutes sooner. The bit at the end with the influencers sort of cheapened the whole thing.
I can't get into this one, except the scene with the orderly (8% chance) and how similar Michelle Monaghan is to Emma Stone here.
Saying I've been waiting my whole life for this is just barely an exaggeration.
It is truly so exciting to have more time with these characters. I teared up during the opening credits. It is funny and true to the original, down to the score, tone, visuals, special effects, etc.
I love Willem Dafoe as much as the next gal, but he and Monica Bellucci didn't have enough of a payoff for it to be worth including their plotlines. It would have been better cutting those threads to spend more time on the core cast.
We knew they would not be able to replicate the energy from the first film, especially with John Cusack not returning. <I>HTTM2</i> is a decent effort, but it gets old very quick, and you may start to despise Adam Scott after a short amount of time, maybe even immediately, due to his lazy, buttoned-up performance.
Terrence Fisher does ‘Doctor Who’.
This had all the hallmarks of the era’s “base under siege” story lines.
Not once did I question why they had a cat with them until glancing through these reviews.
Surprisingly a first time watch. I was a little concerned why they were so casual about the organism in the guy's face. Then they were a little casual about a lot of things, except Parker who is like "FREEZE IT!" and everyone's ignoring him. This crew is very calm under pressure.
The sets were pretty impressive for being from the 70s. I think if I had seen this for the first time when I was younger, I'd feel more strongly. I get why it's a classic though, and I'm glad, because it gave Spider-Man the knowledge required to defeat Ebony Maw.
It has enough laugh out loud jokes to make up for how little I cared about the plot.
By the time this came out, I had moved on from Breaking Bad, so it took me five years to finally watch this. It's a really good addition. It doesn't take anything away from the series finale, just gives Jesse more of an ending and fills in some of his missing pieces.
I watched this so many times as a kid that if I hear "All I Have to Do is Dream" I immediately picture Kimberly and Matthew jetsetting and getting married.
It has aged horribly, as I imagine most of Rodney Dangerfield's comedy has.
I'm not interested in poker, and this had just the right amount of poker to be about poker but not ALL about poker.
I love John Turturro and Edward Norton. Overall this is pretty good; it just doesn't have anything special enough for me to be jazzed about it.
