Very poor

Rating: 1/10 (8 September 2008)

The people who made this film and written are no professionals. This is a film about a fish called Oscar who is a hero because everyone thinks he killed a shark. Shark Tale is voiced by several stars (Robert De Niro, Jack black, Will Smith, Renee Zellweger) and even with good old Martin Scorcese. I am very disappointed in them for wasting their time on this joke.
The story is simple and easy to write and you know why? Because the fish are just like humans. They have trash cans, modern houses and TVs, playstations, electricity etc underwater!! I think they really over-exaggerated here. Finding Nemo was great not only because of the story, but it was very realistic with everything; colour, animation etc. This world the fish live in is as though it was fish in this world instead of humans and that they knew how to fly. Colour was good, but much too colourful for me. They rip off dialogue, music and other stuff from great films like The Godfather, Jaws, Apocalypse Now etc. There are a few funny moments, but overall the humour is lame and totally unsuccessful as to being hilarious.
Also, this film is a bit too inappropriate for kids. Sure, maybe some crude humour here and there, but rude dialogue and a sexy fish (if you saw this you will know what I mean) and the ridiculous idea of a shark that says he is a vegetarian? What were the writers thinking? I don't know. Maybe they were not thinking at all.
I do not see how this could be nominated for best animated feature Oscar. I would expect something like this to get nominated a razzie award. This film is strictly for immature people, especially immature teenagers.
