“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. From the 3 directorial efforts Elizabeth Banks has churned out so far, well, I think it was the most satisfying one. Sure, if you hear the title and you” read more
“To be honest, since this movie got some rather poor reviews, I wasn’t expecting much but I have been following the MCU ever since ‘Iron Man’ was released so I was still eager to check this last instalment.

Indeed, 6.5 would be actually more accurate rating but you can't give 0.5 points on this website ;)
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since this prequel was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even though this new installment doesn’t seem to have a great reputation, to be honest, I don’t think it was bad at all actually. Basically, one th” read more
“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was directed by Eli Roth and since it was available on HBO Max, I thought I might as well check it out. Even though I have seen almost all the movies delivered by Roth so far, I can’t say I’m a huge fan of his work” read more
What was it about?
Eli Roth and a professional group of scientists, researchers and activists sail around the globe to unveil the truth behind the death of millions of sharks.
My two cents:
It was a little bit weird to see this guy coming up with some ecological documentary like this one. Anyway, the damned thing was actually not bad at all and, even though Roth has built a career as a horror director, this first documentary was actually probably the most horrifying movie he has delivered so far. Indeed, even though I’m well aware that the situation regarding the wild fishes in our oceans was pretty bad, I didn’t expect it to be so dramatic though and the statistics they kept feeding us were just really shocking. The only real mistake Roth made was to constantly putting himself in the foreground. I mean, it’s not something uncommon, Werner Herzog does it all the time in his documentaries. However, the big difference is that Herzog is really charismatic and interesting and, even though there is nothing really wrong with Roth, I’m afraid he has nothing really interesting to say about the subject or anything else in general so I didn’t really need to spend half of a movie watching this guy. Another thing that bothered me was the fact that, sure, I won’t be eating shark fin soup any time soon or even ever. However, at some point, they pointed out that there were shark in so many products without any clear indications on the label whatsoever. In this case, how are we supposed to be cautious about this? Even if it was nothing really ground-breaking, It was still an interesting watch though.
My rating: 07/10
