Medo Profundo: O Segundo Ataque

My nephews 9 and 16 loved it. I liked it a lot and would probably watch it again. It's one that is best in a theater like setting like the first one in my opinion. The scares are more effective in a theater setting due to that it does rely on a decent amount of jump scares. But and it's a big but... they are placed well and aren't cheap jumps. You jump for a reason and not just a noise so they're done right and effectively in my opinion. But it has plenty of scary moments and situations that aren't cheap jump scares. You can't call the jumps like you can in other movies and that's what makes it refreshing.

For what it is it did an amazing job and you should give it a chance. I think you'll like it. They might be pushing it with another one but this can stand alone as a decent creature feature that isn't boring in the slightest. The only reason it's getting a seven and not an eight is the horribly done word changes. I caught two moments where they changed what they said. I'm assuming for the rating since it was a crap in place of a cuss word and another that I can't remember off the top of my head but it was a cuss word. I wasn't happy with this. I'm tired of over censorship and I think this is one of those cases. A bunch of young girls are gonna cuss it's not surprising. Watch it and you'll most likely enjoy it. That's the only thing I didn't like about it.

I truly had no interest in seeing this film, with little marketing and a first film that by no means was deserving a sequel. However, with a fresh new cast and not much else out in theaters this past weekend, I thought I might as well give it a shot. Following in the footsteps of many other blockbuster style films this summer, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged is a harmlessly thrilling sequel that cares much more about its scares than it does in developing characters, but that's not really what you go to these movies looking for. Paced out well with tension that never seems to end, I couldn't help but be entertained by this sequel. Heck, I'll take another few of these. Shark movies always seem to have a great deal of appeal.

6.5/10

They really went far out to make something, to build a world, to really have something underground. Though once the mayhem starts nothing much is left of that. Still I would do a tour of the set if I ever was going to do deep diving (minus the sharks obviously).

Having said that, this is pretty bog standard and there is nothing special to it. Horror, blood and terror, you know all the ingredients you need - but not cooked to a degree that would make this special in any way

If like me, you were lured in by the trailer, which to be fair for those of us that like shark movies, even though they're nearly all terrible, you can be forgiven for thinking this one would be different....

.....It wasn't unfortunately.

On the plus side, as is so often the case it is a nice idea, I love the idea of those cave sharks, blind, relying on sound, great, only they looked a little like Jaws III at times, and were a little on the dim side. The characters were such, that you didn't care if they got eaten or not, and apart from the quite brilliant scene used in the trailer (you can see why) it didn't really deliver many scares.

I won't say it was atrocious, because it wasn't, it is more what I'd class as a fun movie.

How long before a dive into the waters of The Arctic, and divers get terrified by Greenland sharks? One day.

Mehh, 4/10.

It's exactly what it's suppose to be. It's corny in a lot of ways, with some subpar special effects but it's thrilling and it's undoubtedly entertaining. This movie is a simple story and it was executed in a thrilling way- the acting is good for WHAT the movie is. The special effects are good for WHAT the movie is. This was never meant to be a movie with a 20 million dollar budget, it was meant to be a sequel to the first equally corny, and equally simple storyline that was 47 Meters Down (the original). The acting was well done in portraying true terror in the moments it was needed. The only shortcoming I truly saw was the writing. I found there were too many moments that were suppose to have you on the edge of your seat- it became incredibly predictable after about 20 minutes of the in-water survival scenes. What I would've liked to see here is more story, and more build-up. More tension rather than climax climax climax from the writers. Again, I think it was good for what it is. It's a thrilling, and frankly corny ocean thriller. Though entertaining, I feel that there was some untapped potential in the actors, the choice of special effects and story. I probably would not watch the next movie if there was another one- but I don't regret watching this one as it was undoubtedly fun to watch despite its short-comings.
