Enjoyable, but not satisfying

Rating: Null/10 (9 October 2007)

I didn't have expectations for "Shark Tale" and neither had "Finding Nemo" in mind when I went to the theater. This film is enjoyable and energetic. But still I'm not satisfied. To quote some reviewers: This movie isn't actually bad, but not great either.
I think the main problem is that you don't believe in the characters, except Lenny, although he's at times more annoying than cosy. SPOILER: Will Smith's character Oscar is a character that you don't actually care for through the film because of his selfishness. I either didn't like Angelina Jolie's character Lola, who in my opinion had little to do with the story, even she was intended to be funny. SPOILERS OVER.
The script is detailed, but still it miss the heart and the big, breathtaking moments. The story it self is recycled and the situations in this movie becomes too distraught. The dialog could at times been better.
OK, enough complaining. This isn't the worst animated feature that I've seen and this film is funny and light. SPOILERS: What I liked most was the mafia parodies, the hip-hop influences and the relationship between Lenny and Oscar is well portrayed. SPOILERS OVER.
If you'r not expecting a masterpiece, then you'll be entertained. I was, even I wasn't satisfied
