Movie Reviews of Deep Rising

Movie Review: Calamari Baby!
Summary: 4 Stars

Everybody dies you know. Especially in this hilarious movie about a cruise ship that is eaten by a giant squid. Who can stop this squid? Treat Williams, YES! He was incredible in "The Phantom" another masterpiece and he proves himself in this movie. Axes to the face, ladies getting sucked into toilets and crazy guys puking into buckets are some of the funny highlights in this Stephen Sommers epic. Just when you think this movie can't get any better, they throw in Famke Janssen, the most beautiful lordess ever and you have the ultimate movie. I was enlightened after watching this movie.

Movie Review: CONTRIVED TO SAY THE LEAST, BUT STILL A FUN HEART POUNDING EXPERIENCE!
Summary: 4 Stars

It's hard to put this movie down, as it tries so hard to pay homage to the sci-fi and horror movies from the past. This film borrorws from several other movies like 'Alien' and 'Poseidon Adventure', but it is one heck of a ride. The action is tense, Rob Botton's(The Thing remake)FX are very good and just the right amount of tongue and cheek humor thrown in to make this a very good monster movie, that's right up there with the original 'Tremors'.....not quite. The DVD transfer looks good, but this film deserves an upgrade with some interesting extra material.

Movie Review: It's Peter Benchley's Beastly Poseidon Adventure
Summary: 4 Stars

I love monster movies and I loved this movie from the moment I saw it. DEEP RISING benefits from an excellent Jerry Goldsmith score and a really icky (albeit obvious CGI) monster designed by the legendary Rob Bottin (the creator of John Carpenter's THE THING). Also the humor actually works for a change and did not irritate or distract me with mood destroying kamp komedy. Sommers also nicely satirizes the cliched sequel set-up ending. Its just a dumb fun monster movie, the best mega-budget piece of schlock Roger Corman never made.

Movie Review: Well . . . it has monsters in it . . .
Summary: 4 Stars

So what if this isn't a realistic movie? It has monsters in it, so therefore there's some lack of logic to some things. It's meant for entertainment, and it does its job very well. It's chock full of suspense and action, and some dark humor as well. It's not the best of all monster movies, but it still doesn't disappoint. The cast is good, too, though Kevin J O'Connor did seem to steal the show a bit too much. But other than that, this is an exceptionally entertaining monster movie. I give it a B+.

Movie Review: much more fun than it has a right to be
Summary: 4 Stars

this little horror/action/ comedy(yes it really is all those things ) is just so much fun you can't help but like it. the monster is a cheesey blast,the action is well done, and the comedy is very funny is a sick way.
not much sense as a cruise ship about to be highjacked is attacked by "sea monsters" from the deep. like i said this is just to much fun to take seriously and if you let it you can get sweapted away with it.
