Bull Shark 3

I must admit that I was not particular much fan of the 2022 movie "Bull Shark", nor the 2024 sequel "Bull Shark 2", but I still opted to watch the 2024 third movie in the franchise, as it is a shark movie after all. Sure, I expected absolutely nothing from writer and director Brett Bentman when I sat down to watch "Bull Shark 3". But I still opted to give it a fair chance.

Writer Brett Bentman put together a rather bland and dull script and storyline. Nothing much of anything interesting happened.

Of the cast ensemble in the movie, I was only familiar with Billy Blair and Thom Hallum. The acting performances in the movie were fair enough, though nothing outstanding to take notice of.

The sharks in the movie were pretty bad. I am amazed that such questionable CGI actually gets the thumbs up and makes it to a movie. Doesn't anyone in post-production care about the fact that the sharks looked like they were discarded from a 1990s computer game for being too fake? Well, not only the sharks, but the CGI special effects in general were just hands down poor.

Needless to say that the movie's cover over-sold the movie by a landslide. The cover was far more interesting than the actual movie.

There was a phrase in the movie, which actually can be twisted a little bit to make it match the movie; "watch this movie and you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

My rating of writer and director Brett Bentman's 2024 movie "Bull Shark 3" lands on a two out of ten stars.

They didn't even try! A massiv bull shark swimming around in knee deep water.

The CGI is so bad that it's far beyond cringe, which is actually surprising as the technology has advanced alot. It looks like they have used a cut out of a shark from a magazine and just threw it across the room Infront of a green screen.

Figured we would watch it as we had nothing better to do. We got through the two previous movies. However, the people in charge of making this one, should be banned from ever making as much as folded napkin in the future!

Do not waste your time. If you want to watch something that is so bad that it's funny, go watch Frankenfish or House shark instead.

This one is not worth the electricity needed to turn the TV on.

The crew should be ashamed of themselves and made to watch this rubbish on repeat!

After a series of accidents, the sheriff of a small Texas town is forced to confront the fact that a Bull Shark has escaped capture and is living in the lake despite his best efforts to stop it from being there, forcing him into one more battle to eliminate the creature once and for all.

This was an abject and utter failure in just about every regard. The only thing to enjoy with this one comes from the singular shark attack at the very beginning that sets everything up as the motive to get back into hunting down the escaped creature. The simplistic setup of the horny teenage couple disobeying orders and sneaking into the area where multiple shark attacks have occurred in the past, blowing past any attempt to accommodate their safety for the sake of sleazy desires, and then getting attacked in shallow water because of that is a fun way to get this going. The violence in the attack, the cheesiness of the shark prop, and the suspenseful nature of everything make for a decent starting point that is at least attempted later on when the group takes to the lake to try fighting off the sharks with some intriguing technological advances, which are interrupted by the sharks. These scenes are really all this one has going for it as there's nothing else about this one that's worthwhile. Much like the other films in the series, the pace to this one is just excruciating, offering nothing but endless scenes of the sheriff going through the banalities of small-town life, a near endless series of scenes with him going back to his friends to help convince them to get back onto the lake to deal with the shark problem they thought was behind them, and just monotonous moments of the group traveling out on the water that go on for ages to the point of making for a genuinely uninteresting time. Nothing happens for so long here, and what happens isn't exciting anyway, so those expecting any kind of shark action will be so disappointed here. There's little this does to fix it, such as trying to impart witty banter between the group or force suspense with a nonsensical confrontation over the death of a friend, preventing their initiation of an operation to stop them, and with it being cheap and fake-looking as well, all bring this down overall.

Rated Unrated/R: Language and Violence.

Giving it a 1⭐ is being generous... If they can un make a movie , this should be one of them. Acting , special effects, cinematography all bad. Bull Shark 1 was watchable but this series has gotten worse by the movie.. Maybe if they try just bit, it would make a difference.. Hopefully this is the last movie.
