Statham actually wasn't that bad although I maintain my position that he was not the right guy for Jonas Taylor. But once the shark got to the service it just went downhill. The film started off pretty good and there were quite a few changes in the characters in the story from the book which is expected. The CGI was actually pretty good in some parts and then other parts it wasn't at all. However holy crap was this a huge let down. I'm not one of those people that's going to give a movie a one or a two when clearly a movie of this caliber is not that bad and that should be reserved for straight to Syfy 1 million dollar budget crapfests. I have not been this disappointed in a long time. Even with all that I still was very excited and I dropped my expectations and just went into it expecting a type of action Blockbuster sequel quality movie. Then I saw the trailer and was even more disappointed. Make a really good film with great actors that just happened to have a shark. I like Jason Statham but we all know the type of movies he's in and I was really hoping that they would go more the route of Jaws and not the route of Piranha 3D. When I saw Jason Statham was cast as Jonas Taylor I was immediately bummed out. I read all five books that were out at the time in 5 days total. I want to start this I saying I love the book series, well at least the first few.
