I don't know what everyone is so mad about. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this film. The locations were beautiful; the camera work was clean and smooth; and the shark looked pretty good. It's nowhere near as bad as the reviews say.
As for the acting, Shane West was definitely the strongest actor here. But that doesn't mean the others were bad. They were all good, and I loved the dynamic of the friend group. I think people may be mad because it isn't full of nudity or sex scenes. But I found that to be quite refreshing. The characters looked (and acted) like real people. I was entertained, which is the whole point of a movie, and I will watch it again.
