JAWS Movie & the many Shark films to follow......

There is almost no questioning that the Jaws movies rank as the top shark movies of all time. Written by Peter Benchley, this series that spanned 20 years of terrified viewers with its “easy to imagine” plots and its famously creeping theme song. The original Jaws movie is widely credited as being “the best”, perhaps largely because it was the only one directed by Steven Spielberg.

Jaws 2was a descent enough sequel and brought together the original cast which was nice to see what happens after.... There were plenty of shots with the shark and heart pounding moments.

Jaws 3actually features a notable cast including Dennis Quaid, Louis Gossett Jr., and Lea Thompson, but as far as the over all plot and look of the movie goes the 3rd movie is by far the worst. They made what looks like one of films first attempts to do CGI work and they failed miserably ,the shark has never looked so fake!

Jaws the Revenge got rid of the CGI works and brought back the old school animatronic shark that looked better and even more real than all the ones before it.

Perhaps second fiddle to the Jaws movies, Deep Blue sea is a nice and creepy water-based horror film led by a cast that includes: Thomas Jane, Saffron Burrows, LL Cool J, Michael Rapaport, Stellan Skarsgard, and Samuel L. Jackson.

Also I truly believe that Deep Blue Sea has some of the best CGI and animatronic work of any shark movie. Many of the scenes had my friends and I debating if the sharks were real or not.

This is movie is based on the prehistoric shark Megalodon which in real life has been instinct for millions of years but in the movie  submarines dive deep into the oceans darkness and come across this giant creature.

What makes this shark movie especially terrifying is that it is based on the true story of two scuba divers accidentally stranded in shark infested waters after their tour boat  leaves them in the middle of the ocean.

The biggest difference in this movie compared to the others is that you never really see the sharks. The movie is filmed from the couples point of view which is above the water level.

This was a made for TV shark film, this one is a story about a freshwater shark along the Louisiana River. As far as made for TV shark films I think this was one of the better ones. The acting was decent and the plot is original.  It stars Lou Diamond Phillips, Kristy Swanson, and Coolio.
